RALEIGH, Nov. 23-UD- For
the third successive year, or may
be it's the fourth or fifth, the Blue
Devils of Duke University dominate
he 1915 United Press All-Southern
Conference football eleven, with
Wake Forest and Clemson tieing
for second place honors.
The members of the team this
year, as in all years, were chosen
by poll of Southern Conference
coaches and sports writers in the
loop area. The Blue Devils were
given four places on the first
string, and three on the second.
Wake Forest and Clemson again
were tied for second place on the
second string, with three each.
Kelley Mote. 22-yeaf-old $780,
pound ex-marine VIZ student from
Atlanta, Ca, received the unani-
nous vote for the left-eud berth
on the first team, and thusly earn
ed the captaincy of the mythical
eleven. Those VINO have seen Mote
in action agree that he is the
south's number-one flankman, and
has shown the stuff when it was
needed on defense.
The other three players on the
first team are Ernest Knots, Abe
marie, Ed Sharkey, Arcadia, Fla,
and George Clark, Wilson.
The Demon Deacons of Wake
Forest and the Tigers of Clemson
college, each placed two men on the
first string. They are, in the order
named, Dave Harris, 1914 all
conference first stringer and Nick
Sacrinty; and Ralph Jenkins, also
a 1914 an-conference man and
Robert Turner.
The mythical eleven, which the
coaches and the sports writer's
said by their vote that they would
lay their money on any time, are:
Left and right ends-Kelley Mote
and Dave Harris. Here's the COM
bination flankmen who play as
good a brand of football as has
been seen in the loop in many a
year.
Left and right tackles-Robert
Turner and Ed Sharkey. Turner
has been one of the main-stays
in the Clemson blocking power
this year, and has aided the Tigers
nightly in their scramble for lead
ership among the conference ele-
vens. Sharkey will be remembered
as the number two center on the
Duke Sugar Bowl team, but has
been shifted to tackle this year.
Left and right guards-Ernest
Bear) Knots and Phil Ball.
Knots was Duke 1914 and 1943
circumference member. He's a de-
fensive player and has knack
for roaming in the enemy back
field. Ball was South Carolina S
outstanding guard. He received
his naval reserve commission
Just before the Miami game onl
Nov. 10.
Center-Ralph Jenkins of Glenn
son, again was chosen first string
center. He was the 1914 all-confer-
ence's center with only one or two
dissenting votes. He has continued
this year his outstanding play.
Quarterback - Howard Turner.
North Carolina State colleges
flash. Turner is probably the con-
ference's fastest runner, and scor-
ed the longest run Of the year
los yards-against Duke for
touchdown. He's the number one
cog in States up-and-coming elev
en-. He was member of 1914 all
conference first stringers.
Left and right haf-George
Clark and Nick Sacrinty. Clark is
probably one Of Dukes finest
broken field runners since the days |
of George McAfee. He was pre-
a third stringer, but soon
found himself in the starting role
when injuries took their toll of the
two leading tailbacks.
Fullback-Lynn Chewing, a 49,
year-old freshman from Richmond.
Va, was the practical unanimous
choice for this spot. So far this
season he has scored 81 points,
and has a punting average of IS
yards. He has gained more than
$40 yards rushing and 300 yards
returning kicks. He's a fast, smart,
aggressive back.
