Strupper of Georgia Tech. Mar
vel of the South.
VeiOck Thinks He's AlI-Ameri-
can Material.
BY JACK VEIOCK

New York, Nov. 16.-For the first
time in several years the Sunny South
has a candidate for All-Amer1can
football honors who is going to receive
close attention when the experts
start making their awards.
His name is Everett StruPper, and
he is a halfback on the Georgia Tech
football eleven at Atlanta He Is
only twen-y years old, but all reports
from below the Mason-DiXon line,
and a few from football coaches and
critics from the North who have seen
him play ball, agree that he is a curly
wolf on the gridiron.
Much has been written about the
football prowess and ability of Joe
Guyon, formerly with the Carlisle In
dams, but now in the Georgia Tech.
backfield with Strupper and Hill.
Guyon is, without a doubt, a real
star. He is a man of the Oliphant
calibre in the way of experience, and,
having received his football sheep
skin under Glenn Warner, he certain
ly ought to know something of the
art of working the pigskin across the
lime lines.
He's a Dixie Wonder.
But Guyon Notwithstanding, the
football South is solid in the opinion
that Strupper is the best player de-
and no less an authority than Bob
Folwell, coach of the Pennsylvania
University eleven, which lost an early
| season game to Georgia Tech, comes
forth with a boost for the young
! player.
mo small part of Georgia Techs
success this year has been due to
Strupper." said Folwen in a recent
interview. He is without a doubt
one of the greatest backs developed
in recent years. He is all that the
best backfield stars of this country
| have been, and then a little more"
Coming from Folwell, this boost
means something, for the opinion OF
/ the Penn coach is respected where
ever they play football, and it may
influence critics who will be unable
| to see Strupper in action to place him
on their AlI-American elevens this
year.
He BaffIed Barry
In the game between Penn and
| Georgia Tech, Howard Berry tried
everything he knew to stop the young
/ backfield demon. Four Tiff er
times Berry camped for Strupper as
he came hurtling down the field, but
! Strupper showed himself a cleverel
man than Berry by eluding the Penn
star. The score of that ball game
was Al to 0 in favor of Tech, and
! Strupper played a big part in piline
up that overwhelming count.
Strupper is an all-around athlete
He was born in Columbus, Ga, and
is just an averaged size youth, weigh
ing about $50 pounds and standing
about five feet ten and one-half inches
| tall. He can do the 100-yard dash ir
| 10 LIS seconds consistently in football
| toys, and is said to be one of the sur
est-footed players on the gridiron to-
day
