In the strategy of the Far East
there have long been three prin-
cipal factors OF power, Russia
Japan and the British-Americar
combination. which has usually
worked in unison. Whenever two
of these have been united in the
past. the combination has won. as

THE ENDS
Roberts of Alabama was the
hottest number on the rockola
among defensive wingmen, being
uncircled all season. Morris
Brown had pretty fair country
ball club and the Purple Wolve-
rine players and coaches insist
the Hornet terminal was the
toughest they faced in 1910. Hor-
ton led all ends of the nation in
total passes accepted and the
writer saw him score four sue
cessive recoveries on the only
four fumbles made by Kentucky
State when the Thorobreds and
Men in Orange played October
19. A most unusual example of
alertness. Roberts stands 6-1 and
weighs 178; Horton ranges 6-2
and scales 1876.
THE TACKLES
Aggressive, fast charging and
handed, Mitchell of Xavier
polled more votes in the SINS
Players Ail-America contest than
any other tackle in the land. 1t,
then, is no surprise to see him
rated tops in his particular neck
of the woods. Closest in STAG cir
cles is Wysinger of Morris
Brown, big, mobile and murder
Gus. Opposing blockers and ends
say it's discouraging trying to
get him out of the play. He prov
ed the fifth man in many back
field the season just passed.
Mitchell scales 1872; Wysinger
POT. Both are of six-foot mold.
THE GUARDS
The coaches of the STAG rated
Griffin of Morris Brown a first
class guard and conference play
ers did the same thing by the
wholesale. He's a great blocker,
sure tackler, and interference
smasher. Cant of Florida rated
even superior to Griffin, polling
more votes and also getting the
hearty endorsement of STAG
coaches. Griffing weighs 1856,
Cant 1913.

1940 race until the last two days
before being nosed out for ALI

ged 60 votes each. The Xavierite,
a 1876 FOUNDER, is versatile, hav-
ing, at one time, played end, tao
kle, guard and center. Jones Of
Alabama rated equally high.
BACKS j
Ernest (Hunky) White of Clark
, was potential All-American ma
terial and, although he perform
ed for a club ranking first di-
vision for the first time in seven
seasons, he ran up more yardage
against Morris Brown than any
backs faced by the Wolverines
all season. Gross operations of
the 17S pound triple-threat by
leg and arm brought him 2l6
yards against the Purple. Against
Morehouse, he made ia yards on
rushes alone. One of the most
powerful and shiftiest runners
developed in the STAG in years,
White is natural.
Although he doesn't punt, JoL
tin Joe Jenkins established him
self as probably the finest cli-
max runner in the country this
year. A dandy forward passer and
pass-catcher, jenkins is about the
greatest returner of punts seen
in the loop since Severne Frazier
of Alabama, Bill Porter of S. c.
State, and Dean Blue Everett of
Florida. He ran 65 yards on a
punt return in last weeks Steel
Bowl Classic and also had a So
yard run from scrimmage for a
touchdown. He scored on a 22
yard pass catch and sprint against
Clark, pinned As yard game
winning dash on Tuskegee, tai
lied against Xavier on a 80 yard
touchdown dash, sprinted 81 and
as yards to touchdowns against
Knoxville, and also bagged pair
of markers against Allen. He had
60 points for t.he season and ten
climax runs. A 10 second track
man.
Gilmore Of Lane is one of the
best natural athletes the STAG
has developed, racing the CEN \
tury in 9.8, being conference
basketball high scorer, and
triple threat one-man backfield.
He is ahead of even Jenkins in
climax stuff, having started with
a bang last year and continued
like house afire this season. He.
punts consistently from 45 to 65
yards, passes with the accuracy
of slot machine, is vicious
blocker and tackler. feared pass
defender, glue-fingered pass-re-.
ceiver and cool-headed rascal who
doesn't know what injury is. A.
mared man all over the country,
he was SO outstanding still that
he received S5 votes for ALL
America--just one less than the
great John (Big Train) Moody,
Morris Brown fullback, to end all
fullbacks. He bagged 64 points in
1910. He was the lad with three
different touchdowns runs of 25'
or more yards against Florida in.
