ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

tackles above the average. But to
any one who has seen the different
teams in action there is but one
conelusion-Lamb of Auburn, and
Henderson, of Georgia, are the
players who viii plug the tackle
places on the 1912 Southern Sc
leetions. Donahue's pupil is, with
out doubt, the pick Of the season
Weighing from 175 to $50 and hay
ING had three years experience, he
IS the mainstay of the Auburn line
and is a bearcat on both offense
and defense.
henderson carries more weight
than the Auburn player. but is
shorter on experience in college
games. He makes up for this in
the ability he has shown in every
department Of the game. He is
exceptionally fast for man play
ing this position, and besides
charging like a pile driver, Ae often
rips through the line ant" throws
the man with the ball for loss.
On recovering fumbles he is the
wonder Of the season ana one Of
the few tackles who can be depend
ed on to carry the ball when called
ON. He Is my second choice. Leuhr-
man, of Tech. is also d good tackle,
as is Malone. Of Georgia. Dob
bins, OF Sewanee, is also a find and
with little more experience will
be heard from. Ship. of Wander
bilt, is another player who deserves
honorable mention.
End Positions Easy.
At the end positions we butt
right into another Vanderbilt man
the very first thing, and WHAT'S
more, it's a member of the famous
Brown family. f. Brown is the
player who will hold down the right
wing Of the line. and we find it no
hard job in recommending him. He
is marked on the score -card-at 100.
and this is his third year Of serv-
ice on Dudley field His tackling
on defense makes him very val
liable man, while his smashing and
getting down under punts stamp
him rs about the best in the coun-
try. He gets the place
For the other end Of the line we
must shift over to Tuscaloosa and
get acquainted with a member of
the Vandergraaf family. whose
name is legendary to that college,
just as the Morrison and Brown IT,
tie is in Vanderbilt In H. Wander
graaf we undoubtedly have a grand
little player and the best end in
the South. He runs well with the
ball and is the best ground gamer
that Alabama possesses. His defen-
sive work is indeed spectacular,
and, moreover, he is the life of his
team. Turner. of Vanderbilt and
Gillem. of Sewanee, would be my
choice for a second team.
Good HaIfbacks Plentiful
Now that the line and end places
have been disposed of, we find our
selves confronted with an unusual
amount of available halfback ma
telial and a scarcity of good quar-
tiers and Gullback men. But few
teams have had the good luck to
possess a quarterback and fullbacll
Of any special merit this season,
surely none of the type of Davis
and Morrison of last year, At
half. though, even with an mus
uaI array of good players, there are
two who loom far above the others,
and these are Hardage, Of Van
derbilt. and McWhorter, Of Geor-
gia. The Commodore captain is
without a doubt one of the greatest
balfbacks the South has ever pro-
duced. His carrying the ball has
been Vanderbilts strongest point,
and in this department of the
game he has had but few equals.
He is a speedy broken field runner
and SO extremely fast that he is
hard man to handle in tackling.
His defensive work is also good,
and he seems to be the main
strength of the Nandy team. His
absence in The Auburn game seem

of his team mates. We would have
