The Constitution's editor Dick Jemison also selected a team. Former Georgia player and captain and then assistant Harold Ketron selected a team. Georgia Tech head coach John Heisman as usual picked one also. Former Mississippi head coach Nathan Stauffer selected an All-Southern team for Collier's Weekly.
context_section_description: The composite All-Southern eleven formed by "consolidated pick" of ten sporting writers culled by the Atlanta Constitution editor Dick Jemison included:
  Rube Barker, tackle for Mississippi. Later, he was a practicing physician in Oakland, Illinois.
  Enoch Brown, end for Vanderbilt. Known as "Nuck," he was a Rhodes Scholar.
  Tom Brown, tackle for Vanderbilt. He played with the Toledo Maroons and was later a physician. "He had no peers in his orthopedic ability and contributed greatly to Toledo medicine."
  Jenks Gillem, end for Sewanee. He was a renowned punter and kicker, selected as the punter for the Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869-1919 era. He later coached.
  Lew Hardage, halfback and senior-captain for Vanderbilt, unanimous selection, was also selected third-team All-American by Walter Camp, the fourth ever Southern player to get such a recognition.  Innis Brown in 1912 wrote "Hardage has been rated as probably the most successful man in the south at making forward passes."
  B. J. Lamb, tackle for Auburn. Known as "Sheep," he practiced tackling on trees.
  Bob McWhorter, halfback for Georgia, unanimous selection. He was the school's first All-American, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954. Sportswriter Dick Jemison said "When you mention football to an Athens fan its definition is Bob McWhorter, and vice-versa." He was selected for the Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869-1919 era. McWhorter went on to have a lengthy law career.
  Hugh Morgan, center for Vanderbilt, unanimous selection. Chosen "by a good margin" wrote Brown. Later, he was a world-renowned internist and medical professor.
  David Peacock, guard for Georgia. Known as "Emp," was an assistant coach for his alma mater in 1914. He was once president pro-tempore of the Georgia state Senate.
  Ammie Sikes, fullback for Vanderbilt. Brown chose him for his speed.
  Lee Tolley, quarterback for Sewanee. Later, he was a Southeastern Conference official.
