Harold Ketron Selects All-Southern Football Team Names 4 Vandy Men, 3 Georgia and 2 Auburn By Harold Ketron. (Assistant coach of the University of Georgia, center on the Georgia team in 1901-2-3-6 and captain of the 1903 team.) EAKLY in the season 1 was asked to make an all-South ern football selection at the end of the season, and have there fore followed the playing of the teams in the South with unusual Interest and it is not until I have seen most of them in action, or at least, I might say, all of them, ex cept those in the extreme western part of the S. I- A. A. division, which I consider to be almost in a group to themselves, that I attempt this. I shall not go beyond Mississippi fn my comparison of the relative ability of the players, although there must be some players in Texas and Louisiana that are so far above the average that they deserve serious consideration. Picking an all-Southern this fall Is no easy job, for in some depart ments there is an over-abundance of material, while In other posi tions we find a reverse situation. As a whole, however, I think about as strong a team could be gotten together from the elevens of Dixie as in any recent years and that the 1912 team will hardly suffer in com parison with any of them. First Blood For Vandy. At center we have but little trou ble in making a selection; in fact, this position lias given little worry for u season or two now, and but few will dispute the decision when the award goes again to Morgan, of Vanderbilt. He Is without a doubt the best center playing in the South this year. He has about every qualification that a lineman could possess. He weighs 215 and carries three years' experience and U known for his accurate passing. In the games against both Auburn and Georgia he played a defensive tackle and at this position he was the power of the Vandy line ami clearly demonstrated that he could play defensive center, so he gets the pivot place undisputed. Loeb, of Tech, and Covington, of Geor gia, are good men in their positions and deserve an honorable mention. Guards Not Notable. Now. when it comes to naming the guards, we find anything out easy sailing, for the teams that I have seen in action this fab v ere somewhat weak in this depart ment. Peacock, right gu..id captain of the Red and B.ack out fit; Lucas, his running mute; Swofford. of Vanderbilt, and Means, of Georgia Tech, can usuallj be counted on. both on offense and de fense, but of that numbe • Peacock, of Georgia, gets ii st can. He ’*u» given this position last year aim one player who l:as not alloweu u.-.“ cures of captaincy to affect his playing in the leant and tlie same steady forward ol last sea son. In everj ga n< at >u played any guard I have seen. He has, tin weight and h's delens-- L all that could If wanted. He is übie to stop any line bucks dirt -t --ed at his side, is speedy in his tackling and possesses his shale of football gray matter. But few linesmen are better on sizing ui> the opponents' offense; neither Is there a better charger in the Go U nonbo"a l .nd s Gu7t OIG Gk«Sh; 0 THE EVANS CHEMICAL CO., CindwaU, : (®| ! £-> IWJFCTIOM A P.H-_ ZJ • m >n r att l r re > ! of the most obstinate capea guaranteed m ft ">' | 3 tolldays; noothertreattnen ? |REMEDY pOR MEJgj ••••••••••«••••••••••••••• J “HERE IS BEST IN • J ALL SOUTH”-KETRON: • Center—Morgan, Vanderbilt. • • Left Guard—Burns, Auburn. • • Left Tackle —Henderson, Geor- • • gia. • • Left End —Vandergraaf, Ala- • • bama. • • Right Guard—Peacock, Georgia. • • Right Tackle—Lamb, Auburn. • • Right End—Brown, Vanderbilt. • • Left Half—Hardage (captain), • • Vanderbilt. • • Right Half —McWhorter, Geor- • • gia. • • Fullback—Sikes, Vanderbilt. • • Quarterback —McDonald, Geor- • • gia Tech. • • • •••••••••••••••••••••••a** Southern country. It's mighty hard to keep such other players as I have mentioned off the team, for each of them is an Al, but all lack some of the requisites that mark the stellar linesman, so I give the other guard position to Burns, of Auburn, al though he has played center 4nis season. Burns has demonstrated, however, that he can play guard, this being his regular position here tofore. His backing up of the line was the feature of the Auburn- Vanderbilt game, while his 186 pounds of weight and his two years of experience make him a fit run ning mate for Peacock. Tackles Are High Class. Now, for an inventory of the tackles. Here we have a better array of talent to pick from, for there ii? hardly a team in the South that can’t boast of one, if not two, tackles above the average. But to any one who has seen the different teams In action there is but one conclusion—Lamb, of Auburn, and Henderson, of Georgia, are the players who will plug the tackle places on the 1912 all-Southern se lections. Donahue’s pupil is, with out a doubt, the pick of the season. Weighing from 175 to 180 and hav ing had three years’ experience, he is the mainstay of the Auburn line and is a bearcat on both offense and defense. Henderson carries more weight than the Auburn player, but is shorter on experience in college games. He makes up for this in the ability he lias shown in every department of the game. He is exceptionally fast for a man play ing this position, and besides charging like a pile driver, ho often rips through the line and throws the man with the bail for a loss. End Positions Easy, At the end positions we butt right into another Vanderbilt man the very first, thing, and what’s more, it’s a member of the famous Brown family. L- Brown is the player who will hold down the right wing of the line, and we find it no hai. job in recommending him. He is marked on the score card at 160, and tills is his third year of serv ice on Dudley field. His tackling on defense makes him a very val uable man, while his smashing and getting down under punts stamp him as about tlie best In the coun try. He gets the place. For the other end of the lim we must shift over to Tuscaloosa and get acquainted with a member of ARE YOU ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS?

FRIDA Y, NOVEMBER 29, 1912. the Vandergraaf family, whose name is legendary to that college, just as the .Morrison and Brown ti tle is In Vanderbilt. In H. Vander graaf we undoubtedly have a grand little player and the best end in the South. He runs well with the ball and is the best ground gainer that Alabama possesses’. His defen sive work is indeed spectacular, and. moreover, lie is the life of his team. Turner, of Vanderbilt, and Gillem, of Sewanee, would be my choice for a second team. Good Halfbacks Plentiful. Now that the line and end places have been disposed of, we find our selves confronted with an unusual amount of available halfback ma terial and a scarcity of good quar ters and fullback men. But few teams have had the good luck to possess a quarterback and fullback of any special merit this season, surely none of the type of Davis and Morrison of last year. At half, though, even with an unus ual array of good players, there are two who loom far above the others, and these are Hardage, of Van derbilt, and McWhorter, of Geor gia. The Commodore captain is without a doubt one of the greatest halfbacks the South has ever.pro duced. His carrying the ball has been Vanderbilt’s strongest point, and in this department of the game he has had but few equals. He is a speedy broken field runner anil so extremely fast that he is a bard man to handle in tackling. His defensive work is also good, and he seems to be the main strength of the Vandy team. His absence in the Auburn game seem ed to take all the fight and dash out of his team mates. We would have him captain our all-Southenn. At right half we should put the best half playing in the South, if not in the entire country. Bob Mc- Whorter. He is as good as Har dage in broken field running and a much harder man to tackle, by reason of his weight. His line plunging is also good, while throughout the year he has been strong on defense. Those who have seen him play when in condition must unquestionably concede Bob his place on this year's all-South ern. Sikes Wins a Job. With due appreciation of the work of Vandergraaf, of Alabama; Webb, of Clemson, and Parker, of Sewanee (the last two of whom are extremely good at line bucking), tlie fullback position must go to Sikes, of Vanderbilt, without much argument. He is the best fullback of the 1912 Southern season, and one of the best I have seen in this .section in several years. In both defensive and offensive, his play ing is good, while in the Auburn game his line plunging wa- great. So it’s Sikes for full. One Tech Man Named. Quarterback (in my estimation, if all reports are true. I have not seen him play) should go to Fletcher, of Mississippi, but since be has been ruled ineligible v.e will not,con sider him. and will award the gen eralship job to M< Donald, of Geor gia Tech, though Major comes in for a strong bid, on account of ids punting. McDonald runs his team, however, in good style, and in every game that Tech has played this season he has been their best ground gainer. . old. had been having fits and spasms for two years.

Tech athletic au thorities probably realize the fact today For with a perfect football day, a holiday, anil practically no rival attraction, so meager a throng witnessed the Thanksgiving strug gle between Clemson and the Yel low Jackets that it was lonesome out at <)once DeLeon park. And, by the way, the score was: Tech 20. Clemson 0. But the score has nothing to do with the case just like the Howers that bloom in the spring, tra-la. The crowd —“gathering" would bo a better word—had the opportunity of seeing tile first football battle ever waged in the snow in Atlanta, but football fans seem rather to prefer the comforts of a cozy fire side to the pigskin pastime, with any sort of trimmings. Anyhow, they weren’t on hand. Even the Tech rooting section was noitceably small, while the rest of the outpouring consisted of a few policemen and some forlorn indi viduals who didn’t have any other way of spending a Thanksgiving afternoon. No “Pep” For Tech. Though the Tech team played their usual machine-like game, the anti-climax spirit was present in their ranks with a vengeance. When they trotted on the field and warm ed up. Captain Leuhrman was com pelled to exhort them time and again that the season wasn’t quite over, that there was a meed of glory in trampling on Clemson's carcass, before he could engender enough pepper in his cohorts to season a hard-boiled egg. It’s true that when the team started playing it worked with the same old dash that has made ft formidable, despite its miniature size. But they went about it as if it was a day's work instead of an afternoon’s play. Their hearts had been left in the Georgia gam&. So had the hearts of the Tech stu dents. So had the enthusiasm of the Atlanta patrons of the pastime. There wasn’t as much enthusiasm apparent at Ponce as there would be in a prohibition convention in Louisville. Ky. Nothing to It but Tech. As far as the game went, it was a practical procession for Tech. Clemson fought some in the first half, but then seemed to lose spirit and allow Tech to parade. The South Carolinans seemed to out weigh Tech by a wide margin, es pecially in the backfield, and at times the Tiger backs successfully bucked Tech’s line. Their work was never consistent, though, and whenever the Jackets’ line was im periled they braced wonderfully and held for downs. Webb, the Carolina fullback, proved a powerful bucker, but his slowness in starting frequently per mitted the Tech men to get through and halt his advance. Tech’s entire team played splen did ball. McDonald and Moore made sensational broken field runs time after time, while Leuhrman hit the line for substantial gains. The Jacket offense was as varied as a Thanksgiving celebrant's path homeward, which made the game pleasant to watch, even if those present would have appreciated a yell or two or some other sign of • life. Ball Wet—Little Fumbling! Though the ball was wet and slippery, the game was practically free from fumbling, and it was a striking fact that whenever either team let the ball slip that same team recovered. A high school inclination to wrangle marred the last 1 wo quar ters, but by that time nearly all the spectators had left the park, and it didn’t make much differ ence. But the Tech authorities, wheti they make their next batch of con tracts, will in all likelihood re member the Thanksgiving paucity in attendance and arrange their games accordingly.

League Meets in Little Rock, Not Birmingham -!•••!• Billy Smith Will Fight “Sliding Scale” Limit By Percy H. Whiting. ' T4HE. fall meeting of the South- [ ern league will be held in Little Kock and not in Bir mingham. as was first announced. This change is made because of the illness of tile wifi of Judge W. M. Kavanaugh, president of the South ern league. President Kavanaugh asked that the change be made if agreeable to the club owners and naturally all consented, despite the fact that it makes the trip longer for every club president except one. It is likely that the spring meet ing will be held in Birmingham, a it is customary to hold one meet ing each year in the city which won tile pennant the previous season. $ # e ZANLY one point of interest will come up at the Southern league electing officers, and that will be meeting except the formality of the question of the salary limit. At tlie recent meeting of the Na tional Association of Minor Leagues in Milwaukee the salary limit ques tion was taken up, but the way it was handled was a joke. The rep resentatives of the various leagues knew well that no national associa tion could handle the matte, of sal ary limits and that each league should be allowed to legislate for itself. So naturally nothing was done. , « « # THE matter of a salary limit is therefore up to the Southern league, in all its pristine freshness —an old question that is new with each succeeding fall. The local notion is that it is all right to let well enough alone. Charley Frank’s scheme of a. “sliding scale” has met with no warm response from Bill Smith. Frank’s idea is to make it possible for a club to carry as many as eighteen men. If the club carries eighteen its salary limit is $3,600. If it carries seventeen its limit is $3,400. if it carries sixteen the limit drops to $3,200 and so on down tn thirteen men a,nd a $2,600 limit. That's the "sliding scale" idea. It would also be provided, under the Frank scheme, that no player should be paid over $250 a month and not under SIOO. « K « CAYS Bill Smith: “I don’t like Frank’s plan. In the first place I don't see any sense in a change. SEABOARD ANNOUNCES LOW RATES TO WASHINGTON. Tickets to be sold December I, 2 and 3. limit 15th.
