Georgetown had by far more good
players than any one of the other
elevens. Yet on its team it had four
men who stood out as stars. Kenyon
at fullback. FIavin and McQuade as
halfbacks. Florence. end. and Conn
stock, guard. had few equals in their
positions. All these men played a fine
foot ball in all their games and stood
out as prominent factors in the play OF
an exceptionally good team.

in every game and who. with a stronger
line in front Of him. would have cut
capers in open field running that would
have been the delight of everybody eS-

pecially so at end. and McKeon and Voor.
We're good at tackle and guard.
Gallaudet had one brilliant performer
La Fountain. In any year Of less hne
end material then during the one just
past La Fountain would be worthy OF
any end position on the all-south Al
lantic eleven. He was one player in
Gallaudets squad who stood out among
the best in the section. 4
George Washington had in Ptak and
Shaw an excellent pair Of fiankers nd
in Hart at tackle and Hughes at CEN
ter sterling performers in their posi-
tions. All four had exceptional expert
ence before entering George Washing
ton and any one of them probab bly, would
have made some position on any south
Atlantic team. (.

In year of exceptionally good
teams and players. much better than
are found in ordinary seasons. the
| local colleges produced among the
! men mentioned several who will get
places on the first and second all
south Atlantic elevens. And those
men selected from local schools un-
doubtedly will match up well with
, their running mates chosen from

universities and colleges. i
The 1921 seaxon marked the passing
from south Atlantic foot ball of one or
the most brilliant and consistent line
| men the section has known--Moore or
Washington and Lee. Moore entered
Washington and Lee in 1915 and play
ed there that year and in 1916. on
teams which Washington and Lee
/ turned out in those years as good -
| represented any school in the south.
In 1916 the team on which Moore
| played defeated the Navy. 10 to o.
| Moore entered the war. with many
| other college athletes and returned
\ to w. & L. in the fall of 1920. He
played tackle that season and also the
| one just closed. He was picked as

last year and is certain OF a position
on this years team. I,
Much has been said in the press re-
Gently about the proba abilities of a
| change of control iu athletics at the
| University OF Virginia. whereby the
| students and alumni would get equkl
representation with the faculty on the
governing board. Those responsible
for such moves and publicity regard
ing them really must have known
little about the policy to which Nirr
| ginia as an institution was commit
ted. The southern conference prir
| marily. q year ago. made faculty COM
| troll Of athletic boards in each in-
| stitution obligatory with memberships
/ in the conference. and, while commit-
| ted to that policy. Virginia was
| and is. such move as has been cons
! templated by some students and alunl-
| nj of the university is absolutely tin1-
possible. As matter of fact, the
board governing athletics at the Unit
versity OF Maryland has been conf.
posed of just such a personnel as That
| recently proposed at Virginia. equal
representation OF faculty, alumni ana
| students, but the move was started
| q month ago at College Park to ap-
point morN members of the faculty to
the board so that a preponderance OF
votes will give the faculty control OF
| everything that relates to athletics
! Virginia is not going to take a step
backward by discarding a system of
faculty control it has had for seveh
years. iI
