Riggs, Professor .. n. Henry and
others who have seen most of the
Clemson teams and who have been
much Interested in then. PROBES
sor CAN'T is secretary and areas
urer OF the athletic association. He
once pitched bail for Clemson, and
has always taken great interest in
the athletic teams. He is eminent
ly qualified to pick the all Clemson
ail-time eleven.
KEESLER-Center, though only
playing one year, 1t without a peer
among Clemson centers, and would
strengthen any team of his time.
In all probability he Is the most
powerful man that ever wore
Clemson uniform. and certainly a
harder tackler has never been de-
Veloped here. His passing was es-
pecially good. His strength and
fearlessness, coupled with the abil-
ity to diagnose offensive formation,
puts him in a class with the best
in the country. Weight, 1870 pounds;
height, 6 feet.
FORSYTHE, j. Cone of three
brothers who played on Clemson's
team, would be the lightest man in
the line, and, while nothing like so
strong a man as Fleming or Britt,
nor SO fast a charger as Breeder,
his knowledge of the game and
general ability would entitle him to
one of the guard positions. Many
of the long gains that were made
in 1902, 1903 and 1904 were inf1u-
enced materially by Forsythe's in
tertering Under Heisman's re-
gime, when a guard led all the in
references, Forsythe proved to be
the man who could get out of line
and turn the trick Weight, 175
pounds; height, feet.
DERElCK-Captain Of the 1905
team, and one of Clemson's ma in
stays for four years on the gridiron,
would easily land the other guard.
de was one of the fastest and
strongest chargers that Clemson
ever produced. During his four
years on the team he played guard,
tackle and fullback, and proved to
be a good man in each position.
Few men In Southern football have
been 50 effective in carrying the
ball from the line position. Weight,
1875 pounds; height, feet.
MLAURIN-Tackle, and captain
aT 1QO- faaf,, He orr.>,v-,l
ability in the old tackle over tackle
play marks him as one Of the
strongest offensive tackles OF the
South. His weight made him a
hard man to get hold Of and his
strength and cleverness on his feet
made it almost impossible for less
than two men to stop him. Weight,
1870 pounds; height feet H.
inches.
WALKER--At the othe~ tackle,
and captain Of the 1900 team. was
q defensive player Of marked aoili-
". Few plays came around his
side Of the line for any gain, Gas
ton, az tackle, was as strong. and
SSAllS " ms AGltAASAN : sNO- n was
brilliant. Walker. however. was
more consistent and his greater ex-
perience would give him the posi-
ton. Weight. 200 pounds; height,
feet inches.
SITTON-As an offensive end,
was one of the best that the South
has ever produced. His broken
field running was brilliant, and dur
ing his two years of football he
probably had more long runs to
his credit than any player of his
time. There were few games in
which he played that he did not get
loose for long runs Weight. 100
pounds; height, feet 91-2 inches.
SADLER-At the other end. was
of the consistent type defensively
and extensively. With Sitton, he
formed valuable combination. It
was the exception when they al
lowed gain to be made on a re-
turned punt. They were both fast
and hard tacklers Sadler is the
only player who has the honor Of
being twice captain of his team
