THE ATIANTA GEORGIAN DECEMBER 1912


nessee, and vandegraaf, Of Ala
bama.
Now, this bunch stacks up
mighty evenly all around. Beane
was decidedly too light, / should
say, and the same was true of Rob
ert. Ridley was little too fragile
for this kind of an end, and Boogh-
er played too long ago to have
learned enough football. Gillem
was a grand punter and good, all
around player: but on offense he
never ran with the ball nor went
down the field under punts, as he
did all the punting himself, on de-
Tense he mostly backed up the line,
so. take him altogether, he was
hardly an end rush-except in the
lineup. Brown, of Tech, was also
grand punter but too slow for a
real end rush-and too light for
tackle. Cogdell had the weight, but
lacked the fire; he had the speed,
but wouldn't always use it.
The best Of the lot are +. Brown,
of Vanderbilt: Walton of Missis-
sippi, and Sitton, of Clemson Be
tween these three it's a very even
race in all respects save one
Brown is rather light, but Won
derfully effective end. nevertheless.
Walton had the greatest weight Of
the three. but the least experience
Sitton wasn't quit as good tackler
as either of the others but he was
as fast as a chimney swallow.
I give the place to Sitton on the
strength of one great qualification
that none of the other ends outside
of Blake possessed. and that was
his ground gaining ability. On the
Clemson team of 1902, which was
Sitton's best year. he was about
the most reliable ground gamer the
Tigers had. He was much such
runner as Morrison, Hardage or
Lanier, and almost unstoppable.
He was clear-headed, athletic, easy
to handle, trained faithfully and
put more fight into the rest of<the
team by his inspiring coaching dur
ing a game than most any other
player | have ever seen. And these
things all count big. l think he de-
serves the place.

Would Make a
Marvellous Eleven.

WORDS fail utterly to give an
" idea OF what powerful ma
chine these eleven men could make.
With equally good coaching, they
would hold their own with most any
eleven men that could be named
from any section OF the country. 1t
is an array of names that South
ern football fans can be proud OF
at any time and in any place.
one singular thing about them is
that they were nearly all at least
six feet tall. The only exceptions
were Sitton and Craig, the former
of whom was about feet II inches
and the latter about 5 feet inches.
Not one OF them was fat man.
A thing worth pointing out is the
fact that every last one Of these
men had the fighting instinct I'M
usually well developed, BY this I
do not mean that they were quar-
relsome and always spelling for a
"shindy" They were fighters in
the football sense-men who never
knew what it was to give up, who
could not recognize when they were
beaten, and who fought on always
as though defeat meant death. This
quality of course, every man should
have who aspires to be selected In
any such connection as this.

Fullback Also Goes
To the Commodores.

n my opinion, Manner. of the 'oS,
'04, '05 and '06 Vanderbilt teams,
was the greatest player the South
has yet turned out. Never anywhers
have I seen man who had quite
as much driving power when he
went into a line as this same Ma
nier; and I do not believe that the
line ever had an existence that
could stop him. For this reason
alone l would be willing to give
him the place, for before game
was half over he nearly always had
the whole Of the opposing team
battered to a pulp, so that there was
no standing up to him after the
first half. But Manner was strong
in other features of play as well,
though not equally so as on line
plunging. He was very tall and
rangy, and remarkably fast on his
legs To my mind, he stands head
and shoulders over any other full
back we nave vet seen down here.
Other notably good fullbacks have
been Foy, Penton, STREET, Shafer
Redding and Davis, Of Auburn:
Edgerton and Sykes, OF Wander
bilt; Reulle, OF Mississippi A. and
NJ; Douglas, OF Tennessee. Han
vey. of Clemson; Simpkins and
Markley, OF Sewanee; Clark, Of
Tech, and Lovejoy, OF Georgia

All Colleges Know
-leir Own PLAYERS Best.

TO some extent / am aided by the
1 recently published picks of the
best eievens turned out during the
history of the game at the various
Southern eges-these selections
having been made in The Georgian
o} mem who have been closely in
touch with the football situation at
Their respective colleges for q long
a.riod Of time. Each college knows
'esi which of its sons performed
'tst ON the gridiron, for they have
,he opportunity to watch the mans
work. day i'm and day out for sew
'tal years. not merely in an iso-
aleo game or two. as do outsiders
WHO have at times attempted the
picking Of all Southerns. So if q
payer was not good enough to
make the all-time team of the col
.sse where he performed, he GER
fanny does not come in for consid-
eTalIon in connection with an all
liIAe ais. /. A. A. team.
Yet even so one will have to go
over the merits of at least 100 play
FRS, for each college picks out not
'eSs than eleven best men. and
laete are at least ten such colleges

Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-12-23

coaches put their best Hnemen at
the tackle position, and from so
many best men it's hard to hunt
out the men of paramount ability,
The great tackles include Pritch-
ard, T. Brown and Taylor, of Van
derbilt; Glenn, Brown, Pierce and
Jones, of Auburn; Stone and Boil
ing, of Sewanee; Hamilton and
Kent, of Georgia; Davis and Pat
terson, of Tech; McLaurin and
Shealy, of Clemson; Bridges, Of
Cumberland; Word and Newman,
of Tennessee; Countess, of Ala
bama, and Barker, of Mississippi.
The above list alone is sufficient
to tell any one with even a slight
knowledge Of Southern football
history just what / am up against
in this chapter. But here goes:
Glenn was a big, fierce player
and grand with the ball under arm,
he wasn't clever enough at tackling.
Pierce was an exceptionally good
player in all departments. With
more detailed coaching he would
have held his own with any man
of today. Lex Stone was a grand
player; he was a trifle too clumsy
to fit in here. Hamilton had more
natural strength and downright
tackle ability than any man who
ever played the position in the
South; he just lacked hard, vigor-
Gus coaching. Davis and McLaurin
both deserve better than to be
shunted off with a word, or even a
dozen of them.
And this man Bridges. Why,
Great Genghis Khan! This man
was about the biggest bear cat
when he got started right In a game
that I ever expect TO see in or out
of Hagenbecks Weighing 220 and
running with the fury of typhoon,
he was just about as near to I'M
stoppab1e as anything I ever want to
get in the way Of. I saw him at
his best. But they tell me he had
his worst days also, and when he
had them they were the worst ever,
and so l most reluctantly pass him
up.
It's also very, very hard TO pass
up Barker, who is quite as good a
tackle as any Southern college ever
has a right to even hope for or
dream Of
I'm going to choose Pritchard and
Jones for the tackles; but | have
no idea how I am going to square
myself with Tom Brown and Tay-
Tor for doing so. Could you ask for
better tackles than these last two?
] don't see how.
And yet ] do consider Jones and
Pritchard just a shadow of a shade
better than any Of the others. Jones
weighed about 1873 and Pritchard
about 2o5, and both were over six
feet tall. Both had that activity
and general get-aboutness that so
delights a coachs eye, and both
were in the thick OF the fight from
start to finish No interference so
strong but they could break it, no
lunge so powerful but they could
stop it. They had perfect use Of
their hands, and they used their
enormous strength to the limit.
They rank ahead OF Brown and
Taylor mainly because Of tueir SUI
perior weights and strengths

Not So Many
Crack Guards.

THERE are as many guards on a
football team as players in any
other positions, but for some rea-
son not so many of them developed
into star players in the South In
the East Heffelfinger at Yale. Hare
at Penn, Dewitt at Princeton and
Trafford at Harvard have been as
great players as are to be found up
there in any other positions. But
down here the possibilities of guard
play have not yet been fully eX
plotted nor brought out.
The best of the lot have been
Metzger. Burch and Chorn, of Van
derbilt; Phillips and Claiborne, Of
Sewanee; Derrick and Castor, of
Clemson; Blanch and Beaver, of
Georgia; Casanova, of Mississippi
A. & NJ. and Mitcham and Bonner,
of Auburn.
Now, here are a pretty fine bunch
of guards. But l have no trouble
in selecting Henry Phillips, Of Sc
vance, for my first choice This
man was one of the few of my
present AL Time team whose name
is also found on the team I selected
ten years ago. Phillips just nat
uraIy had the goods, and that's all
there is to it, He weighed over
1870 he had great speed for 8 man
of his size, he could open a hole
through a stone wall, he was i'm
pregnablc on defense and he was
the best punter of his day in the
Southland To these qualifications
ne added fierce, indomitable fight
ing spirit. yet was withal one Of
the cleanest players to be found
anyvhe And he knew the game
backward and by logarithms, Is
anything else needed? If so, he
had it
a selection for the other vacancy
from the remainder is a job that
arrights me. To my way of
thinking. Castor was a great play
er; so was Burch; but in my opin-
ion he did not possess sufficient Sc
IlOuSilEGS VI hitLl t'F''s ~ IAS'4AAJ'
Chorn was a hard worker but bit
slow, compared TO the best men.
Metzger was nothing short Of q
worlds wonder for his weight, but
this place must go to a heavier man
than he was. Derrick was a great
charger-the best Of the lot-but
that about let's him out Bonner was
4 good man. but not quite consist
emit enough.
There remains Blanche. This
chap weighed about 1S3. was built
as trinity as a race horse and could
run like one. He got about the

stone, Smith and Phillips did. Can
YOU imagine what a power such a
center trio as Stone. Phillips and
Blanche would be in a game to-
gether? This fellow was matured,
experienced and cool headed He
could diagnose play while it was
lining up. Yes, Blanche is my other
guard
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-12-23
Halfbacks Also
Go To Vanderbilt,

HE extra good halfbacks that
the =. |. A. \. has exhibited in
the last two decades are legion. The
problem here is much the same as
that encountered in selecting tack
les. and the list of stars for these
positions is even a longer one. 1t
must include Craig, Campbell,
Boogher Hardage, Tigert and Dan
Blake, of Vanderbilt; Hunter and
Furtick, of Clemson; Williams,
Dorsey and Foy, of Auburn; Sci
bells, Ship and Lanier, Of Sewa-
nee; w. Wilson Davis and Goree,
of TECH Dickinson and McWhorter,
of Georgia; Williams, of Mississippi
A. and NJ; Knox, of Mississippi:
Head and Steele, of Cumberland;
Leach, of Tennessee, and Burks and
Pratt of Alabama.
Well, it's Just impossible to give
all of ones reasons for making a
selection out of a mass, or mess,
like this. All l can say is that, to
my notion, as l saw them play, [
would rather have had Craig and
Campbell than any other two OF
the lot.
Now, this doesn't mean that there
was any marked superiority in ia
Yor of this pair. Craig, for instance,
was not the equal in defensive play
of some other halfbacks l could
name. But then he was such
wonder on advancing the bali that
/ just naturally would little rath-
er have him on my team than one
of the other men-thats all.
My second choice for halfback is
Campbell, also of Vanderbilt. He
and Craig each weighed about IT'S
or more, and were as speedy as an
telopes Campbell couldn't dodge
and get about a broken field like
Craig. but he was there with the
line plunging, the straight end run
ming, the tackling, and the heavy
interference.
l regret greatly that / can not
stop to say how well / think of
every other man on the list To
name them in the same list with
Craig and Campbell shows my ap-
probation of their great ability,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-12-23
There Were Many
Crack Center Men.

IT HE great centers of Southern
antiquity were Watkins and
Poole, of Sewanee; Stone and era
ham, of Vanderbilt; Sims. of Tech:
keasler, Of Clemson; Ketron, of
Georgia; Moody. of Alabama;
Smith, of Cumberland; Cation, of
Auburn, and Grice, of Mercer. To
these should be added as being en-
tirely in the class of top-notch cen
tiers Morgan, Of Vanderbilt and
Adams, of Mississippi. both of
whom live and have their being in
the present.
Yes, these were all great cen
ters. OF course, all of them had
the necessary weight and fighting
instinct. But some of them-in
comparison with others-must at
once be discarded on account of
lack of experience. This would
apply to Keasler, for instance. 9th
ers were relatively too sIow-like
Sims. Watkins and Adams are a
shade too light. The very best CEN
tiers we have had have been Cation.
Stone, Morgan and Red" Smith.
Cation was a wonder and had
about all that can be asked of a
center And the same can be said
of Morgan today. And vet. com
pared with Stone and Smith, these
men are a trihe slow. They had
the weight, spirit strength and ex-
perience; but, other things being
equal, the race must go to the swift.
And that was where Stone and
Smith shone, Respondent as Sirius
How many remember Red"
Smith, of Cumberland, '03? Wasn't
he peach? I see him yet, dartins
all over the field and making open
field tackles from one side line to
the other That was his great
forte.
Stone and Smith were much alike
in build. Both were we'll over six
feet in height, lean and supple as
panthers, and with the activity of
greyhounds. Yet each must have
weighed 1855 stripped. Stone was
as good a tackler as Smith and had
all the other good points of play
possessed by Smith or any of the
others. In addition, he had one
talent that Smith and all the 9TH
ers lacked, and that was ability to
handle forward passes. Combined
with his great height and reach.
he combined an ability to get down
under the ball and to get under and
catch it almost anywhere. One of
his catches gave Vanderbilt
game and the championship for
that year, You might say that he
not only saved the day, but won
that pennant singie-handed
I feel l am compelled to hand
center to Stone on a gold plat
ter, with second choice to Smith, on
a silver salver

ments, but he weighed only 149-
about u dozen pounds less than
Morrison, on which account he
could not run so powerfully as the
latter. In all other ways the one
player would have reminded you of
the other.
These were not the only high
grade quarters We have turned out
in the South, for the list includes
Ttchenor, Of Auburn Crawford, of
Tennessee; Woodruff, of Georgia;
Kyle and Costen. of Vanderbilt;
Cope and Browne, of Sewanee;
Bushyhead, Of Cumberland; VIII
son, of Tech. and Moody, of Ala
bama, These were all great play

Morrison Gets
Quarterback.

IT HERE have also been a lot Of
corking good quarters in the
association, but none of them come
up to the class of Ray Morrison, of
Vanderbilt. His work is too recent
to require any review in order to
explain the grounds for putting
him on our All-Time team He was
simply exceptionally strong and
brilliant in all departments of play
and weak in none. ] consider him
and Bob Blake and Manner the best
three football players the South has
produced.
Next to Morrison, ! would rate
Maxwell, of Clemson, '03 This boy
was also a wonder in all depart

had great strength. speed expe-
rience and judgment There win
be no dispute over Blake at one
end.
The other end will be about the
hardest selection 1 will have to
make on the entire team, for the
simple reason that not another end
rush that ever played down here
stands out from the field anything
like the way Blake does.
The list includes Boogher and r.
Brown. Of Vanderbilt; Lewis, Will

ert, Of Tech; Ridley, of Georgia;
Walton, of Mississippi; Cogdell and
