Few Good Ends.
There were not many good ends on
the teams in the section. Seifert and
McDougall of A. & NJ were clever,
perhaps the best pair of all. and Cusack

haps the most capable end the south
Atlantic section has known in a long

capable on the offense, and at his best
as defensive player. Van Brocklin,
although playing quarterback for A. &
NJ. was a great defensive performer and
could play splendidly at end. That was
his regular position before he began to
perform at quarter. Van Brocklin is q

goes to make a great end.
Miles Of Washington and Lee gets
one OF the places at tackle, and Tandy
of North Carolina University is given
the other. Miles Is tall, rangy play
er of almost ideal build for a tackle.
He has had long experience and has
contests in which he has taken part.
Tandy of North Carolina will be men
toned again. though he is placed at
tackle. Tandy played center. but in
view of the remarkable capabilities of
Petritz of Georgetown he is not used in
that position on the all-star squad.
Tandy is said to have played some ex-
ceedingly good foot ball, being clever

is no reason why he should not be
given place on the team because an

pounds, was aggressive and performed
exceptionally well on the offense as
well as on the defense. One critic re-
thought the player was more suited to
tackles or fullback's position than
center, anyway. Virginia had good
men in Barker and Evans. but It is
questionable II either was as capable
as Tandy or Miles.

consistent players. Ward was some

guards, was perhaps the most capable
regular playing that position. though

far behind him.
Petritz Gets Center.
There are just two centers this year
deserving of real mention-Petritz of
Georgetown and Tandy Of Carolina. 1t
is difficult, indeed, to make a selection
without leaving room for argument,
but taking all and all. Petritz gets the
place. If everything is true of Tandy
that has been said, he is truly a great
player, but 1t must be stated that
Petritz is the best performer In that
position any team in the south At

holes well on the offense, and passes
well. He would be entitled to the place

would be exceedingly difficult to stop,
and to penetrate such defense as 1t
would offer would be well nigh i'm

the south Atlantic section. 80 capable
