In selecting an all-state team tnere
are certain things that ono HuS' " "a
. cessity seriously consider before aMa
ing any position to . any r the Writer has
given tho most consideration to. are the
Co-operat ton among team mates cOnuGc'
on the field OF play, men VINO are pnSS...
ally fit and can stand an entire seAsoh !, ?
work. that Is play stellar enInE e md
weck end, and men whose morale ana
flghting spirit will not be denied. IN
moving men from one position 10 an.
other, the writer has in NINA tnc ray
that il will result in better oalanceu
football team and send ,1T Ia tEe select
inC Of the backheld and ends and IN one
case this applies to the guard posltlon'
where a tackle has been moved into d
guard. ,..s
Tn selecting our backfcld and ends,
the writer has selected men who can
kick, PASS. receive. run the open nelo'
run off tackle, break the line. return
kicks and in fact everything thar - eH,
nected Of first class hack. BY using
Rarnum and Rycr At end, at any tlme
they can be pulled out OF their position
on the ofrenSe. taking the kicker RS pos
ton on punt formation. and IT gives an
told. fivo out of seven men. VINO can DC
used ms triple threat. that means
that Dare, Childress. Combs, Bycr and
Barnum, when in the back field. can
threaten with n pass, KICK or run
with great effectiveness.
AS defensive ends Dyer and Barnum
carry the distinct advantage OF having
the weight. the speed. power. enduranee'
fight, and best of all rare football JudE-
mrnt. This places them head and snouI-
doris above all other aSpirants tnrOush'
out the entire state.
As q defensive half back. GeoreG Dare
Is in Il class by himself. 1t being prac-
tically impossible for any team to com
plete a forward pass in his zone, TACK
tions, has football head that IS not
surpas scd by any other high school attn
letc IS the state As an all around foot
ball player he is without doubt the
best half back in the state. He has 4
peculiar type. never showing his real
running form until no crosses the line of
sCrimmagc. going away from MS posi-.
ton slowly. or identically as did Jim
Thorpe, in his Carlisle Indian days. PICK
Ing his way slowly from behind inc line
Of scrimmage, using the straight arm Il
good advantage. but when once across
the line OF scrimmage it was almost I'M,
! possible to down by one individual
tackler. Likewise Dare: 1t takes two
that he gets in the open. In athletics ne
is what i known as 1 'formcss athlete
but ;his type OF deceptive running
, make this boy great star and no
doubt has a big future. His weight Is
100 pounds.
ChIldress Praised
In selecting Ch!ldress of Charleston
the best halfback Of Southern west
Virginia has been picked He IS hlEhly
developed in q football sense, being a
fast, hard charging back, and runs the
open field equally well, tackles hard
and low. and handles the ball we'll both
on ofrense and defense. and no doubt
has a big future in college If he con-
tlnues going to school.
, At fullback, Combs Of New Martins
willie gets the call. Like Dare ana
Ch!ldress. he Is very highly developed
In a football sense, having what Is com
monty called Il football head. lie
charges the line well. going through
his holes, going of tackle In a manner
that makes him very hard TO stop be-
ing very fast in all his attempts lie
also runs a broken field very we'll Doing
particularly fast in this department. He
hurls the leather with deadly accuracy.
AS Il defensive back he leaves little to
he wanted. tackling hard and low. hliinG
tive holes that are In the defensive line
fast, breaking up end plays, and ut the
same time playing with his eyes wide
open very rarely the opposing team oe-
ing able to complete a pass In his zone.
Taken all In all Combs leaves little 10
be desired as high school fullback as
he weighs l6S pounds.
Farley at Quarter
IN giving Farley Of Charleston me
quarter back position the manner IN
which he has general led his team always
getting the maximum number OF points
that could be obtained. has been the
chief influence Of placing him at this
