“/'ELL, THERE'S MY ALL-SOUTHERN! Take it or leave it bul
please do not bother me with syllogisms, and so forth. about it
1. didn’t pick a team in order to engage in a debate; I picked it In
answer to public whim.

";cq‘ \ I have contacted, and not a few officials, Shag
‘* g ®. | Jones, a triple threater, has been the outstanding all
i*«hs round back of the Conference. He hits a line like a
‘ ram, runs the ends like a flash, tackles like Hades,
e \g blocks above average ,and backs up the line and de-
R:. *’a{g fends passes well.
e HE HAS BEEN PLAYING at half all the year,
,«“ ‘iJz but has backed up the line in many games. Hence,
G AR 4 he has been shifted to fullback, because with 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 guartet L.assiter
boasts a 52 yard touchdewn run through Mcrris Brown, a 53 yard
touchdown jaunt thru Clark, two 30 yard gallops over the
Tuskepee eleven, and any number of lengthy ring Guainst seemses !
his minor foes. v !
o QY o
MC CARTHY is the hardest running as well as the§ 4 !
fastest back in the loop. He also led the Conference ing i >
scoring, according to unofficial figures, closely pursued by g
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 100, boastinggha,, Jo..es ’
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- v
ers, has made All-American. He has been unguestionably 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 arupkmkeri
‘ the section has produced. His passing has given (,‘!ark’
4 ,, ALL her victories. His dropkicking gave her the }i:mx-i
: ; } ville, Tuskegee, and Morris Brown skulls, probably t'nv.':
BB | lcading individual feat of the Conference year. |
2R R THAT GIVES YOU SIX MEN--Shag, Jones, Hog Maw
. & pobinson, 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 offense SE SR CER
And when he didn't go in the backfield on offense, (’}“
gencrally went way down field for a long pass. 1 can't@ e - R
overlook that sort of performance. Pinkney or no Pink ney_l G , &
Tiny Smith, or no Tiny Smith! ”& o S
HOW DID REEVES GET IT? Well, suppose we let f""‘j"
figures talk! To begin with, Reeves is far from a weak } ; .
sister on defense. As a matter of fact, he's unbeatable on Pt
close formations. He's just the average on wider for- pauieg
mations, but is a bear at handling the defensive tackie, goes down un
der punts with a dash, and tackles with a resounding force. Where's
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 weuld have been a goner.
The Baker-to-Reeves combination will live as long as the
- o Friedman-Qosterbaan couplet. .

F . fE beat Morehouse and Morric Brown, and tallied the only

passes for seven extra points, including the Knoxville,
i ‘;f; Talladega, and Morehouse games. There you are! Six
; touchdowns, seven extra points or 43 pointe I guest that's
Stanfield enough to warrant first team over Pinkney and Tiny Smith
who were simply polished defensive ends who were deadly dow: “eld

THAT LEAVES ONLY THREE MEN on the first team unzc
counted for, namely, E. Adams, Branch, and Lash. Adams, Tuskegee's
powerful left tackle, besides being a big, merciless brute at bloc king,
charging, and tackling, did all Abbott’s kicking. No conference boot
er has outpunted him ,and 1 don’t recall that he ever got a kick block
s ed. Lash does all that Adams did and seemed a

invitation to visit a pgymnasium

ters for fighters of importance in
the realm of fistiana. As we weat
into the spacious quarteis our eye
glimpsed the old familiar form of
Joe Waleott. the black demon of
pugilism in the deys when men
fought for the love of it and
scrambled ears were symbols of
pugilistic merit. The 'Gym’ was
swarming with fishters and would
be fighte: 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
ious expression on the face of each
and all of those half-naked athle
{es that extended throughout the

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1931
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 ower
throw a powerful Arkansas State
eleven by a one-hided count of
20 to 0. The game was played on a
| (Continued from Page 1)
'muddy field at Hodpe's park unler
the giant floodlights. Approximae
1y twelve hundred people were in
| attondance.
The Drum and Bugle Corp of e
Autress Russell Legion Post undr
the auspices of which the grid co
test was given rendered music it
the park. Dr. R. Q. Venson, chai
man of the excculive committe;
Dr. B. S. Hickman, commander ani
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 whick
was given immediately al‘terwardfi
arc to be used for the benefit o
Rust College and of the Drum and
Bugle Corp.
Rust’'s victory over Arkansas
Baptist State was the result ot
three touchdowns 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
~arotnd 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 70 in favoy of "Ox" Clemons
demons of Rust.
| Standing on his own forty yard
line, Brooks, the stellar quarter
back of Rust, quickly snatched
fromm the mud a punt and sprinted
sivty yards along the right edge of
‘lh(- field for the second marker.
| Lindsey did his little act again for
the extra point. The third and last
touchdown was made by ‘Theodore
PRrooks in the second quarter from
State's ten yard line, A try for the
extra point with a drop kick failsy
ad, and the score read 20-0 in favo:‘
of the Mississippians. Brooks and
Bruce Lindsey were shining stars
of Rust in the backtield, while
Trice, right guard, did his defense
work commendably on the line.
Heygzood, right half of Arkansas
State, was the best bet of his ag
grecation, and more than once he
made several thrilling runs around
ivnd and through the line for gains.
The cecond half went scoreless with
- Arkansas making sensational but
fruitless threats {o pass its way to
one touchdown before the bark ot
||he~ pistol.
