But Morris presented some attributes
in a higher degree than any of the
others and in some respects surpa ss"d
them. Morris tips The scales at l'.'
pounds. enough weight To give him Il
good chance to sand up under any
and all kinds OF defensive play. And
in thinking of that phase OF his WORK
it might be well to call T" mind thsi
while not so iiashy as some other men.

in his last three games. but injuries

In fact. space Is much TOO limited
even to give the players already men

'empting 10 pick and compliment all

to do himself even half justice be-
cause of badly bruised leg. And
there are similar stories of other
players The 2ridiron season is filled
with such instances.
To those men who have been
chosen for all South Atlantic posi-
tions public commentator is ca
tended. Those who are given nonor-
able mention should feel considerable
satisfaction in having been especially
noticed in IA year in which their
work had to be brilliant to acquire
such notice. To those men who have
not been mentioned. and there are
MANY, let them rest satisfied in con-
scious feeling that they gave their
best-all that any man could ask
and that in giving their best they
actually are entitled to just as much
credit for the records of their teams
as the most written of players.
