In addition to the weight he is
handicapped by size standing only

this fault, Dundee has perfected an
"aeruplane' wallop. which can be
seen plainly from start to finish in
the accompanying moving picture

earned for him the title Of the

MI going to pick an All-College

That alone shows which way the

To speak truly. l do not feel in a
position to do this with satisfaction
TO myself or anybody else, for the
simple reason that ! have not seen
more than half of the Southern col
lege teams play this winter.
But ! have been fortunate enough
to see the very best college teams of
the year, and / would find no difficulty
in making Il pick of five from among
those that would still. in my belief
be the best five palyers among the
Southern colleges. That quintet would
be as follows:
Forward ........... Peacock. Georgia
Forward. ............N Nelson, Vanderbilt
Center. ......--....... Brand, Georgia
Guard. Rawson, Georgia
Guard. d............. Brown, Vanderbilt
These five men | consider the best
college players OF the year, and
have no notion that there exists on
any other Southern college team
PLAYER who ranks higher than one of
these.
Brown usually played center on the
vanderbilt team, but went to guard
Whenever necessary ana as Brand Is
such superb center, finished IN all
departments of play while Brown is
quite IS good a guard as he is a cen
ter, and his weight, height, strength,
speed. reach and shooting ability
would come i'm TO such great advan-
tage as a guard II would he an IDEAL
combination to put him at guard.
Peacock's wonderful speed and daz-
zing accuracy in pocketlng them
makes him the peer of any forward in
the colleges, while Nelson Is not Tar
behind him.
Rawson is not large, but very fast,
and so tenacious it is almost impossi-
hle TO get clear of him to shoot.
Picks Fast Second Team.
a second team l choose with more
difidence; but it is probably as good
as any other that could be CHOSEN.
Here it is:

This second team is also very
strong one. and capable of much tip
top basketball. The individuals have
not the extended experience OF the
first team, and that is the principal
difference between them.
Besides the above, there are quite
a number Of other extra good play
ers among the college teams. Notable
among these is Westmoreland, or

my has his heart set on match with
the title holder, and there are many
fans around these parts who would
back Jimmy to the limit if Coulon
ever met him in Atlanta.
During his lighting career Jimmy
has met some of the toughest boys in
the game and has still to suffer his
first defeat. Furthermore. only one
boy. Kid Young, has been able to stay
the limit with the hard hitting boy
from the Windy City. Grant has
been in the game but two years and
during this time has pushed himself
right TO the top of the bantamweight
division.

Grant started his career around
Chicago in 1912, where he had little

there. However, after defeating a
