 You can set into almost any kind Of q bEawl down south about the relative merits Of possible choices for lineman on the All-Southern Conference team. But you can name one baCklield, and still be considered a respectable member of society.
 That backficld consists of Bobby Dodd, the University of Tennessee quarterback: Billy Banker, the white haired Tulane hal,back; Tony Holm, the Crimson Tides phnG,ng iullb1c.;, and Gone McEvcr, the Ten ncsscc TrampIc".
 The writer nGs consulted coaches and sports writers in Atlanta, knox Nilp, New Orleans, Memphis and other cities where the football talent thrives. When you have 10 be wrong, it is well to be as slightly wrong as possible. Those opinions have been carefully weighed in the final selections as shown above.
 Hug and "CatGsh' smith are both fast, Hug being a 1O-seccnd man. They travel ;,t great speed in punt5 and both are fine pass receivers and deadly tacklers. They are good sized men but handle thon1aelves like hghtweights.
 It seems fitting here to mention the work of several capable ends. whose work throughout the season has been Of a high order. They are Moore, Alabama; Jones, Georgia Tech: Holland. Tulane; Schwartz Vanderbilt; Baughman and Yates, Kentucky; Holt, North Carolina, and Peas, Maryland.
 The choices for the first team at the tackle position, Drury and Sing ton, are men who weigh more than 19O but who ar" very speedy for their size. Each is a savage taCkler. Other linemen down south whose work this year has been notable are: rorquer. Kentucky; J. John- ston, Tennessee; Ioorchcad and Will son, Vanderbilt; Steele and Reeves. Florida. and Bryant, Maddox and Lynn. Georgia.
 Paris of North Carolina is con coded to be the best guard the south has seen in several years. That IS saying lot with such mon as Brown Of Vanderbilt Toaycr o1 Tennessee and Adkins of North Carolina playing guard roles this year.
 sinston is a 225-pound Jewish boy and can play at either guard or tackle. His speed is uncanny. In the game between Alab@ma and Tennessee. Sinston smearrd more plays behind the line of scrlmmagc than all the other Alabama lin"m"n stopped all afternoon. In d pinch he can be pulled back to punt, too,
 The task of choosing between three great pivot men has been dii- licult. Roberts Of Tulane, Bcallc Of GDulH II NdI OllIlSL ClllNi illllN OI | ''' ncssec all have the faculty of analyZ- ing opposition plays on the instant they are started. Roberts has been outstanding in all of Tulane's vic tories EolQud of Georgia was nom mated by several coaches as their first choice.
 The backheld will have to speak for itself. So many coaches and writers were found in unison on the four men chosen that it is almost n&limous. But other star backs have been seen in the south. and among their number are: Crabtreo and CaWthon. Florida; \DunIap, Georgia Tech: Parker and Leonard Vanderbilt; Heydrick. Tennessee; Suther, Alabama; Spicer, Kentucky Hawkins Virginia Military. and Waugh. Georgia This has been a year of splendid halfba cks.
 There are 9 teams in the south nrn Conference. It is unfort unatc that 241 men cannot be named,
