good, strong, rugged back who weighs
IT'S and who has so much determination
that he just breaks up ball games. TIC
begin with, he is a fine blocker. He
leads Lumpkin when Lumpkin carries
the ball. and while Lumpkin is a big
strong and first class back, M1zeH has
been OF the greatest aid to him.
He passes skilfully and punts skill
fully, and Extensively his record is
astonishing. My Vanderbilt eleven was
able to stop the other backs pretty well,
in the main. but couldn't stop Mizell.
| He gained 201 yards against us. Against
Alabama the score was 10 to 13 at the
end of the thSd quarter. Thereupon
Mizell broke up the game and Tech
scored three touchdowns.
"a careful study of details shows
Mizell did the damage. Tech gained
343 yards in that game and MiZell got
223 of them. In all his games most of
his yardage has been consistent driving
of 3, 7, to 10 yards. He Is spectacu-
larly brilliant, however, in an open
field.
I'm addition to possessing all this re-
markable ability on the offensive, Mizell
is particularly effective on defense, and
has made far more than his share of
tackles in every game. He is an ideal
back, and on any team in America he
would be star"
Harpster VS.. Williams.
Without a doubt the two greatest
northumberland this without dis
paraging some other fine quarters-are
Harpster of Carnegie Tech and Williams
of Southern California. They are Won
derful men, and showed in all their
games ability of the rarest sort. 1t was
difficult to make the choice here.
Bob Zuppke had studied the two
with the utmost care, and he was the
deciding factor of the board in putting
Williams over HarpSter. He believes
| Southern California wouldn't be the
same team without Williams, who, he
says, has everything great quarter anc
field general must possess. Williams
| judgment is unusually good, and his
| ability in passing and in all other de.
partments of the game is surprising.
Possibly Harpster is a better passel
than Williams, though that is far from
settled. The Carnegie Tech boy certain.
| ly showed great ability against New
York University. probably setting q
record by the number OF completed
passes he threw. He has other great
qualities, and is as magnificent a player
as one would want.
| Yet Williams did such wonderful work
with line hardly as strong as Harpstel
| had in front of him and ran his team
with such superb Judgment, that he
seems the ideal quarter for our frs
considers that he would have as mates
such great passers as the three Other
men chosen for the backdeld.
All over America were many backfelc
stars. and we regret that We could moi
find places for more of these boys. Bu
we measured the performance OF eacf
carefully, and considered the quality
of opposition in making our selections
Miles a Defensive Star.
Miles of Princeton is brilliant play.
er, but he suffered from accidents anc
possibly was not as great this season
as last. He is undoubtedly the finest
defensive fullback in America when a.
his best.
Glasgow of Iowa is back of rare
ability. He performed with the greatest
credit in every game. Wittmer Of
Princeton has remarkable power, and is
| back any coach would welcome
Banker, Tulane, is another back who
has earned the praise of public and ex-
pertS-a most dangerous man agains'
any opponent. Howell, Nebraska
starred in every game. Hovde, Min
nesota, did much toward making the
/ success of his team.
Lloyd Thomas, Southern California
is a back who has made followers OF
the game on the Pacific Coast sit III
and take notice. Howard Jones of ou

est players in America, and worthy OF ;

Illinois contest and was not at his bes

is a fine player who gained hundred
of yards during the season, but he

Two Stand out Centers.
Passing from the backfeld, We tool
up the center position. Here our prob

proved to be more good centers than a
