While the Knoxville Bulldogs
will miss these charging stalwarts,
some good reserve material is be

offset the loss of Cie five lettermen
and one reserve.
High schools and colleges in
search of coaches for next year
need look no further for men ued_
trained in the task of directing
athletics. These K. C. men should
be able to put out winning teams
for any school
Captain Cary has played with
the Bulldogs since he was ’knee '
high to a poodle pup ' He bas won
a letter each year since he was a
junior in the academy. This year
he is chief contender for the posi
tion of center on the coveted All-
Southern.
Saul Sanford at fullback plunged
his way to fame against Talladega
as he ripped off thirty, forty, and
fifty yards at a time. In addition
to football ability he has been a
basketball star for four years.

ihe coming season under the tutor
ship of Assisting Coach .James D
| Barnes who will again be al the
helm of that branch of sport this
'season in the absence of Coach
Harold D Martin.
Coach Martin will be away on
leave of absence to resume his

He will leave the campus early in
January.
Although several members of
last year’s eagers were out for the
first practice of the season last
week. Coach Barnes has b u t
gloomy prospects for sue e-s this
year. Having won for irnvwlf the
cognomen of "Sunny Jim" on ac
count of his congenial d'snosition
the Coach now resembles “Gloomy
Gus" instead. The only informa
tion that he has for release is that
“It looks like a long hard winter.’’
The Hilltoppers finished third in
the C I. A A. standing last season
only Morgan and Lincoln being
able to top them It is hoped that
this, the second year of the young

The Talladega has a spotted re- 1
cord this season, cannot over look'
the performances of Dizzy Pig-i

Miles, also of the S ('. and an 1
Institution in the Magic City, has
had a very bad season. Lack of
mater : al more than any other fac
tor is the handicap that Coach
Amos is racing. Having played
al of their games wtlh too high
powered an eleven has caused the
entire team to be shamelessly ri
diculd by many fans in the Magic:
City There is no doubt that the I
lads are well coarhed, but to al
low the team to continue playing
other teams who outclass them, is
like sending a well trained army
out to fight their enemies without
giving them the proper weapons
The men might obey orders, but
they are whipped before they start
fighting.
Having been unable to see all
of the Conference teams this sea

make an all-southern selection.!

the Lincoln University eleven,
whom some Eans doubt that the

the Hornets who have to do bat

With the stride that the Abbott

Still, the Hornets have the chance
to make their stinging very effec

In the event that the Tigers and

Eleven
By JIMMIE PERRY
HOW IS HIS FOR an All-
Southern football team? Maybe not
so hot. Now listen folks this selec
tion is not to be accepted as an of
ficial eleven, but solely what I
think. And of course I don't profess
to be an AUTHORITY on picking
all-star team as this is my first
attempt. I might be sorry for ever:
trying topick one when the “big
shots” pick tneir teams, and m *<■
dont' correspond with their selec
tions. Oh!! well it's no use of me
holding it back any longer. Here it
is:
FIRST TEAM
REEVES. I. E„ ।Clark)
ADAMS L. T. (Tuskegee)
HOCKETTE. L G.. (Tuskegee)
ROBINSON. C (CLARK)
COGER, R G. (Ala. State)
LASH. R T (Ala. State)
SMITH. R E.. (Morris Brown>
BAKER. Q. B, (Clark)
McCarthy R H. 8., (Tuskegee)
LASSITER. L H. B. (Knoxville)
JONES F 8.. (Morris Brown)
NOW TO explain WHY I select
ed the following men
Reeves, a rangy 187 pounder was
the cream of the crop as far as
pass snagging was concerned He
scored at least one point in seven
games and was on the receiving
one of many of Baker deadly
i heaves and ranked next to McCar
' thy for conference scoring honors
। He was b'lter than the avenge caJ
on the defense
Adams, a hard charging linesman
who could come out of the line and
punt with the best in the confer
ence and bear on the defense.
Hockettc, playing his last season
with "Tigers” from Tuskegee seems
to have made this his best year.
He made it a habit of breaking
through opposing lines and spilling
their backs for losses and blocked
many punts, two of them good for
touchdowns.
"Hog Maw" Robinson was easily
the outstanding center of the year.
He blocked five punts, two of them
being good for touchdowns and
one against Morris Brown which
led to Clark scoring on a field goal
a few seconds later. He played a
roving type and aid in breaking
up many passes and made more
tackles than any other man on
Clark's team and he can play an
end if needed
Big "Zero” Coger neds no intro
duction, having made the All-
American for two straight years.
Other than the Morris Brown game
he was a powerhourse on the de
fense and opened many holes for
the Fraziers brothers to run
through. He was slightly handicap
ped this year by injuries and did
not play quite as good as in past
years.
Lash, another one of those big
guys who can hold his own with
any_,team. His play last year won
him aplace on Joe Rainey's Phila
delphia Tribune All-American
was slightly an improved player
this year and much of the success
of the Hornets line play depended
upon this fellow.
Tiny Smith, a big 205 pounder is
my selection for the other end
slightly shading Wells of Knox
ville. Although playing his first
season at end" he was one of the
best defensive ends in the south
and aeonsistent j!M Blmqr zrC
and a conscientious worker
Baker is another one of those
players who needs no introduction.
He is without doubt the most ver-

best drop-kicker in the south. His
toe was the deciding factor in
three of Clark's hardest games.
Namely Knoxville. T iskegee ana
Morris Brown His pass led to most
of Clark’s victories.
Bob Lassiter, a 155 halfback of
Knoxville was a thorn in all oppos
ing teams he made runs of over
30 yards against every conference
team encountered, and a reliable
i safety man and a good handler of
punts
McCarthy of Tuskegee was one
of the seasons "finds". Groomed to
take the place left vacant hv Bon
Stevenson, this lad stepped in and
handled his assignment greatly. Al
though he was not a triple threat,
but he led the conference in scor
ing and made at least one touch
down against every conference
team played He was a fairly good
blocker and better than the ave
rage tackler.
Shag Jones of Morris Brown has
been one of the most talked of
backs in the South this year and
may land a position on the mythi
cal all-American He is without a
doubt the longest punter in the
south. Many of his kicks traveling
far and out of bounds which the
opposing backs can not return H r
has been the most consistent
groundgaining back in the confer

Hampton presented a team
which had a heavy, well-drilled
line with one or two fast charging
backs. The Hampton eleven re
ceives the "A" rating in the matter
of uniform work. Va. State pre
sented the best all-round eleven.
State possessed a fast charging
line with an array of fleet-footed,
brainy backs. Va. Union upon oc
casions functioned as an inspired
unit but could not maintain the
pace consistently. Va. Union in
Yancey to L. Williams, or Yancey

aerial attack in the state St. Paul

Soldiers at Doughboy Stadium to
day. the Alabama State Teachers
College Hornets chalked up their
eighth victory in the ten starts of
1931 to give them the best gridiron
reason yet experienced by the Hor
nets
With the exception of Mitchell
and Severne Frazier, crack halt

nurse injuries suffered in the More

nets were in their prime and rar

and Tennille who had been left at

game, were back in action and
rendered a good account of tnetn
sclves. Major Brown on end along
with Harris. Walton, Fields. A. D.
Brown Hobson and Captain Oran
Frazier in the rearworks were the
other luminaries of game in which
the oHrnets scored 26 points in the
first half and 14 points in the final
two stanzas when new plays ex
clusively were being tried by
Coaches Lewis and Campbell.
For 1931. the Hornets have play
ed five conference games and five
non-conference games with four
victories in each group. Conference

To Fight To Win
Over Palmetto
PALMETTO. Fla.. Dec. 8 Sara
sota Tigers take victory from Pal
metto Tornados. Before a large
and enthuastic crowd of fans the
Sarasota Tigers coached by "Rock
Haisley” was the winner in a well
fought game between them and
the Palmetto Tornados coached by
Bugle Wiggins. The game marked
the home-coming game of the Pal
metto Tornados.
The game was played on the
basis known as even almost all of
t-hs first half, with the exception
of once or twice when the Tor
nados took the old pigskin to the
Tigers seven yard line and was
unable to punch it over the goal
line.
With their backs to the wall in
the first few minutes of the play
the Tigers stood the rushing at
tact of the Tornados and punted
to midfield where the ball was
played the most of the remaining
part of the first half.
In the next half the Tigers took
the air and Rainey the passing
half of the Tigers heaved a long
pass to Haywood right end which
was good for thirty yards and a
touch down
The Tornados threatened again
in this half with Milton the fast
half of the Tornados tossing short
passes to the midget half of the
Tornados and to the fleet footed
quarter but when they got to the
goal line showed again the Tigers
tightened and they were unable to
carry it across.
The generalship of Anderson for
the Tigers was great and the run
ning of Colson, Rainev. and Brown
and the playing of O’Neal at cen
ter were the big spots in the Tiger
line. The fine pass receiving of
the midget half Nat Williams and
the quarter, Johnson and the nice
passing of Milton were the big
spots in the Tornados backfield.
