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 a little too fragile
for this kind of an end, and Boogh-
er played too long ago to have
learned enough football. Gilem
was 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
a grand punter but too slow for
real end rush-and too light for
tackle. CogdeH 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 a 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. think he de-
serves the place.

There Were Many
Crack Center Men.

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
tiers. 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 slow-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 wonder and had
about all that can be asked of a
center And the same can be said
OF Morgan today. And yet. com
pared with Stone and Smith. these
men are a trihe slow. They had
the weight, spirit, strength and ex-
perlence; 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, 'O3? Wasn't
he a peach? I see him yet, darting
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 well 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 single-handed.

center to Stone on a gold plat
ter, with second choice to Smith, on

ments, but he weighed only 149-
about a 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
Tichenor, 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
ers.

Morrison Gets
Quarterback.

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. I 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 will
be no dispute over Blake at one
end.
The other end viii be about the
hardest selection I 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 e
Brown, of Vanderbilt; Lewis, Will
liams and Gillem, OF Sewanee; Sit

ert, OF Tech; Ridley, of Georgia;

Finds 1t Easy
To Pick One End.

7 T is almost as easy to pick Bob
Blake for one Of our All-Time
ends as it was to select Stone for
center Many think that Blake was
just about the best all-around foot
oped. With this dictum l am very
nearly inclined to agree, particu-
larry with reference 10 the number
and variety Of things Blake could
do, and DO well. He was fine at

j. decidedly more scientific and
deeper game, with all it's modern
rehnements Of play and it's devel-
opel ramifcations, than was the
football of twenty years ago.
Tn other words in picking such a
team we will have to look much
farther than to the mere physical
advantages presented by claimants
for places. We shall have to take
largely into account the better ex-
gercnce of the moderns in the
game. their better instruction, and
The beuermeut of the game itself,
with which the players Of today
have kept pace.
For this same reason it will be
necessary for me to depose the ma
iorty of the players whom ! named

decade ago. They were all right at
.s time. and mighty good men
they were. But the world do

Instrument exists by which we can
take the exact measure of the foot

is no question in my mind but that

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1o.-San
Francisco voted today on 81 proposed
amendments to its city charter. The
proposal to allow district local option
in licensing saloons, and the plan to
establish a two-platoon system for
the fire department. have held the
centre of interest during the cam
paign. Other amendments relate to
taxation, public improvements and
Pacific Panama Exposition measures.
The district option amendment pro-
vides for calling elections on the sa-
loon question by a 25 per cent petit
ton in districts, and If a majority of
voters in any such district decides
against the saloons they must be
closed within six months.

SHOWING INTEREST
IN PARCELS POST
Express Companies in Dark as
to Effect of System on
Their Business.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The exeeu-
tive officers of the big express COM
panies are watching the preparations
for the parcels post system with
great interest. They frankly confess
that they do not know what effect 1t
will have on their business.
In October last the Interstate Com
merce Commission gave a hearing to
the representatives of the companies
so that they might show reasons, II
they could, why the express rates
should not be reduced. Walter D.
Hines, lawyer for the companies. said
that it would not be fair to compel
the companies to cut rates on the
eve of the Inauguration of the new
parcels post system, which might
materially reduce the business OF the
companies. Final action was post
poned pending further hearings.
1T seems to us to be manifestly
unfair to compel US to change our
rates at the time when the govern
ment had practically put a powerful
competitor In the field against us"
said Mr.. Hines today. The fact is
that we do not know what effect h
new parcels post will have on h
business of the express companies.
Nor will we know for a long time.
The new postal arrangement may
hurt us, or it may have an entirely
different effect.
1T may be that the parcels post
will create its own business and leave
the express companies in just about
the same position as they are now.
At the outset a decided change may
be noticed, but in a short time the
new conditions will adjust them
selves"
