RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 2.-RN
teams from the state Of North
Carolina placed a majority OF the
nlavers on the 1910 All-Southern
conference football team, with the
Duke Blue Devils heading the hst
with four.
North Carolina placed three men
on the All-Star team and Wake
Forest one.
Clemson, winner of the loop
championship, has two represen-
tatives and Richmond one.
The Blue Devils are represented
by Tony Ruffa, tackle, Alex Win
terson, guard, Bob Barnett, cen
ter. and Steve Lach, back. Caro-
lima is represented by Paul Sew
erin, end, Bill Faircloth, guard,
and Jim Lalanne, back. Tony Gal
lovich, the loops high scorer, is
the Wake Forest player on the
mythical eleven.
Joe Blalock, end, and Charlie
Timmons, back, are Clemson's
representatives, and Andy Fronc-
EEK is the Richmond player.
Competition was close in most
departments, especially in the
backfield, with Lalanne and Lach
being up at the top in the balloting.
The talent is better distributed
among the fifteen conference
squads than the first all-star team
indicates, leaving a number of out
standing men for reserve duty.
Although SEVERN and Blalock
were the end favorites by wide
margins, complimentary support
was given such capable men as
Leonard Darnell, Duke; John Jet,
Wake Forest; Alex Urban, South
Carolina, and Dick Humbert, Rich
mond.
The tackles who gave Fronczek
and Ruffa their closest scraps for
recognition were George Fritts and
Bill Hall, Clemson; Gates Kimball,
North Carolina, a n d sophomore
Bob Preston of Wake Forest.
Winterson went into n guard
spot by a landslide but Faircloth
was a surprise winner as his run
ming mate. He started slowly in a
battle for a starting chance with
the Tar Heels but wound up the
season as a fireball on the Caro-
lima line, blazing brightest in the
6-3 victory over Duke. Billy Walk
er, V. M. L., and Cation, N. C. State
were reserve guard choices, edg-
ing out Barker Of Furman and
Givler of Wake Forest.
The battle for the second team
pivot berth was almost a toss-up,
Clemson's Captain Bob Sharpe
winning by a nose over South Caro-
lina's sophomore Sossaman, North
Cardinals suntheimer, Wake For
ests Pendergast and Maryland's
Smith. Stroupe of N. c. State,
Mangan of Washington and Lee,
and Zydiak, Old Dominion all-state
center from Virginia Tech, all had
their partisans among the voters.
The rangy Jones. star of Rich
mond's up set triumphs over North
Carolina and V. M. l., ran a close
fifth in the backfield balloting.
Grygo, Davis and Chippy Names,
Clemson, round out tn second
backfield. This just scratches the
surface of the loops backfield tai
ent, leaving such stars as Martin
of Furman, Muha of V. M. l.,
Watts of N. c. State and Polanski
of Wake Forest for the third
string l
