TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!
WELL, THERE’S MY ALL-SOUTHERN! Take :t or leave r
please do not bother me with syllogisms, and so forth, abou;
J didn’t pick a team in order to engage in a debate: I picked
answer to public whim.
SHAG JONES. ELMER BAKER. Hockett. M
Carthy, and Hog Maw Robinson are unanimous
* n the ”P* n * on °f all the coaches and players
• / JPW 1 have contacted, and not a feu officials. Sha ;
Jones, a triple threater, has been the outstanding all
round back of the Conference. He hits a line like a
A ' ram, runs the ends like a flash, tackles like Hades,
'll blocks above average .and hacks up the line and dr
fends passes well.
HE HAS BEEN PLAYING at half all the year.
- r ' " .*9 » ’ but has backed up the line in many games. Hence.
£ »AkdoS J he has been shifted to fullback because w.th Mc-
Carthy taking undisputed occupancy of one halt
back, such a shift would enable Lassiter, that running and pass
receiving demon of Knoxville to make the first quartet Lassiter
boasts a 52 yard touchdown run through Morris Brown, a 53 yard
touchdown jaunt thru Clark, two 30 yard gallops over the
Tuskegee eleven, and any number of lengthy runs against waMMMBgjl
his minor foes. ?||| i
MC CARTHY is the hardest running as well as
fastest back in the loop. He also led the Conference inMMF Wi
scoring, according to unofficial figures, closely pursued byp
Reeves, of Clark, an end. who had 43. Captain Hockett’
has not only been the outstanding guard, but also the out
standing linesman of the year. He can run too. boasting^ at» Jone*
two touchdowns against the Alabama Hornets .one of which was a
55 yard dash.
ELMER BAKER .according to quite a few of the week end pap- '
ers. has made All-American. He has been unquestionably the most |
versatile as well as the most dramatic performer of the year. He
punts, runs, passes, dropkicks, and does everything else ।
that a good back is supposed to do. He is acclaimed all
over the southland as the greatest passer and dropkicker ‘
Mpty the :;cction has produced. His passing has given Clark
KO| ALL her victories. His dropkicking gave her the Knox-'
Tuskegee, and Morris Brown skulls, probably to-
SHgST lead.ng md vidu;d feat of the Conference year.
THAT GIVES YOU SIX MEN—Shag, Jones, Hog Mau
* B » » Robinson, Hockett, Lassiter, McCarthy, and Baker, who are
Baker more or less in a class by themselves. Robinson was the
brainiest man on the Aiken squad. He topped every center he met
and showed ability at diagnosing enemy stuff and breaking up passes
as a roving center that made him look like a back.
TINY SMITH AND PINKNEY, under normal conditions, would
have been anybody’s first team flankmen. But here s what happened.
Dizzy Pigrom, of Talladega, despite his weak support was one of the
shining lights o fthe loop, and besides, was Triple-Threat. He kick
ed. ran, and passed. As a rule, he played end on defense,
then shifted to the backfield and ran as half on ottense.
And when he didn’t go in the backfield on offense. heM^-
generally went way down field for a long pass. I can t
overlook that sort of performance. Pinkney or no Pinkney
Tiny Smith, or no Tiny Smith!
HOW DID REEVES GET IT? Well, suppose we let TJ ;
figures talk! To begin with, Reeves is far from a weak g g J Ig
sister on defense. As a matter of fact, he s unbeatable on
close formations. He’s just the average on wider for- Keeves
motions, but is a bear at handling the defensive tackle, goes down un
der punts with a dash, and tackles with a resounding force. Where’»
the black and white (figures) I referred to? Reeves was the motive
power that made Baker the outstanding passer that he was. Without
Reeves to handle Baker’s tosses, the latter would have been a goner.
The Baker-to-Recves combination will live as long as the
Friedman-Oostcrbaan couplet.
REEVES SCORED touchdowns in the Cla:.m. .Alabama !

touchdowns, seven extra points or 43 points! 1 guest that s
Stanfield enough to warrant first team over Pinkney and Tiny Smith
who were simply polished defensive ends who were deadly dov.., field
after punt receivers.
THAT LEAVES ONLY THREE MEN on the first team unac
counted for, namely, E. Adams. Branch, and Lash. .Adams. Tuskegee’s
powerful left tackle, besides being a big. merciless brute at blocking,
charging, and tackling, did all Abbott’s kicking. No conference hoot
er has outpunted him .and 1 don’t recall that he ever got a kick block
. cd. Lash does all that .Adams did and seemed a
. V harder tackler, but he had no such ability io
punt. Lash had a great year spilling interfec

Joe Walcott Talks About I'he

Sometime ago we accepted an
invitation to visit a gymnasium
especially fitted as tiri'ning quar
ters for fighter-: of importance in
the realm of fistiaas .As we went
into the spacious quarto, s our eye:
glimpsed the <>id familiar form of
Joe Walcott. Ilie black demon of
pugilism in the days when mon
fought for the love of it and
scrambled ears were symbols of
pugilistic merit, Tim ’Gjrn' wi.-.
swarmim, with fighters and would
be fighter Joe was there looking
them over Every palooka. in a re
galia of the profession, was work
ing like a Trojan. There was a ser
: ions expres: ion on the face of each
। and all of tho. e half-naked athle
j les that extended throughout the
. Gym. and the manner of their
workouts, the earnestness a n ci
I energy they displayed, bespoke tho
i galley-slave forced to the oars or
, a group of bondmen, of old Sparta.
, making readv to go forth to mor
j tai cornbat. V/e looked around for
I Mr. Walcott who was not so very
j far away from where we were
i standing. He was shaking hands
i with Johnny Risko. the heavy
, weight baker boy from Cleveland,
i Risko was just leaving floor of the
। Gym after having a four round
(t-It with his sparring partner. We
i collared Joe. forthwith, and asked
i for an audience. It was granted.
We got set and led off in this wise:
j Joe. tell me. Did you have to go
through all this kinda stuff in pre-
I parations for your battles? Are all
। those stunts these fellows keep
। putting on any good to them? Why
i .?••. we haven't sen a smile nor

TO Q
MEMPHIS. Tenn., Dec. 8—
An undefeated Rust football team
came up to Memphis Saturday eve
ning from its little academic haunt
at Holly Springs. Miss., to over
throw a powerful Arkansas Slate
eleven by a one-hided count of
20 to 0 The game was played os a
(Continued from Page 1)
i muddy field at Hodge's park unler

! ly twelve hundred people were in
I athmdance.
The Drum and Bugle Corp of tie

test was given rendered music it
the park. Dr. R. Q. Venson, chai
man of the executive committe;
Dr. B. S. Hickman, commander ail
many other ex-service men of th
colored post witnessed the gam.
in their distinctive uniforms o.
white and blue. Proceeds resulting
from the game and the dance whicb^
was given immediately afterward 7
are to be used for the benefit or’
Rust College anil of the Drum and
Bugle Corp.
Rust's victory over Arkansas
Baptist State was the result of
three touchdown.': made in rapid
succession during the first half.
State kicked off to Rust and that
helped to prove the undoing of the
boys from the wonder state. The
Mississippians began a line plung
ing attack on Arkansas' forty yard
line, and moved on down the field
to the six yard line at which place
Theodore Rogers, right half, dotted
arottml left end for the first tally.
To make the game sweeter for the
rallying rooters of Rust, Lindsey,
fullback, bored a hole through the
: Inie for the extra point. The score
was 7-0 in favor of "Ox" (’lemon’s
demons of Rust.
Standing on his own forty yard
line. Brooks, the stellar quarter
back of Rust, quickly snatched
from the mud a punt and sprinted
I sixty yards along the right edge of
I the field for the second marker.
Lindsey did his little act again for
th? extra point. The third and last
touchdown was made by Theodore
Brooks in the second quarter front
State's ten yard line. A try for the
extra j oint with a drop kick fad.-,
“d, and the score read 20-0 in favoii
of the Mississippians. Brooks and
Bruce Lindsey were shining stars
of Rust in the backfield, while
Trice, right guard, did his defense
work commendably on the line.
Heygood. right half of Arkansas
State, was tlie best bet of his ag
gregation. and more than once he
made several thrilling runs around
end and through the line for gains.
The second half went scoreless with
Arkansas making sensational but
fruitless threats to pass its way to
one touchdown before the bark ot
the pistol.
