Director OF Athletics ut Virginia

In picking the following "All.South
Atlantic" team this year I am MAX
ing my selection from men whom
havo seen in active play and not from
accumulated Information gathered from
the various coaches, as has been the
case iii past seasons:
Ilardwick. left end. V. T.. L.: Ranglcy,
left tackle. V. T. l.; Thomas, left guard,
V. NJ: l.; Quarlcs. center Y. =. l.; Wag-
oner. right guard. y. {. a. & e.: Cant,
right tackle, U. y. c.. Bosley. right end.

WEIGHT GREAT FACTOR
On tho offensive. Boslcy's weight

Is prime requisite for a good often
sive end. His handling OF forward
passes was all that could be desired
Hardwlck. to my mind, is the best Of
fcnsivc end this division has had In
recent years. Every tackle with whom
he came in contact last season can
testify to his vicious pounding.
Much Of tho success OF V. p. LIS
sma shing attack can be attributed TO
this "Blacksburg product" Doug
Roden. a Richmond hoy. deserves recog-
milton for his sterling playing. but his
weight was against him in putting the
opposing tackle out Of the play.
For the tackle positions l am con,

fields. and who rolled UP the plays on
their own guards. There is no ways
denying Rangeley. OF Y. p. l.. the
OF the season. both defens!vely and Of
fensively.
THINKS DANGELEY BETTER
TACKLEN THAN SCHULTZ
He is a remarkable tackler. He re-
minds one OF Shultz. the best lineman
he surpassed Shul;Z IN aggressiveness
and speed. Cant. OF University OF
North Carolina, would make Rangeley
fine running mate. He possesses a
fine physique for the position.
In the V. i. i.-Caroina game Cant
was the only stumbling block to our
plays. He plays the vicious charging
game that coaches demand OF their
tackles. but seldom get He would pair
well with Kangeley. Following these
two. Blanchard. OF Wake Forest; Rip

For the guard positions I am shift
ing Thomas. OF V. 81. J.. and Wagner.
Of y. c. y. & Il. from tackle to guard.
Both Of these men arc towers Of
strength. Thomas has few equals on

There WAS dcarth of centers in

make him captain.
ATTACK OF TEAM WOULD
DE: DIRECT PASS ATTACK
The attack OF the team would be n
direct pass attack, thereby eliminating
the handling OF the bail by the quar-
tcrback. His gcneralship. GOODNESS and
absolute self-sacrilcc for his backs
makes him the soul OF the team.
