Stauffer’s All-Southern Is An Awful Joke; Man Who Picked It Saw But Few Big Games Partly for the fine unconscious humor it contains, partly because foot ball fans interested in anything purporting to be a football feature. Collier's All-southern football team is here presented, as picked by Nathan p Stauffer. Passing gently over Stauffers standing in Southern football— he coached Mississippi last year, at which time the trouble started that cul minated in Mississippi s expulsion from the S. I. A. A.—the comment is made cat to a dead certainty he did not see enough football in the South this year to have the faintest conception of the playing ability of the perform ers And lastly, any All-Southern, with the Southern football territory stretching from Virginia to Texas and from the Atlantic nearly to the Pa fic. is a joke for the obvious reason that no man can possibly see even a sniall percentage of the important games. Here is the joke team, as it will be perpetrated in the magazine of December 21.) r-r-UIE season of 1912 in Dixie land was remarkable for the 1 small number of injuries; for t< at of Vanderbilt, Dixie’s imi'ion, by Harvard; for the Iraination of interseetional boun- < for the absence of place cks and the lessened number of ■ lid passes, and for an unde j.tarl -hampionship.

After seeing them piay. I believe Vanderbilt is at least three touchdowns superior to Georgetown. Fresh from the Virginia triumph, Vanderbilt went 1,000 miles to chal lenge Harvard. All Southern sym pathizers hoped Vanderbilt would extend Harvard’s resources to the limit, many believing the fast playing Southerners could win. but, ala-, their hopes were vain.

On the same day A’anderbilt burled the clawing Sewanee Tigers, 16 to 0. The choice of players for the all- Southern team Is a difficult task. For center, Adams (Mississippi), with his 6 feet 2 Inches and 185 pounds of brawn, leads the field. Morgan tyanderbilt), another giant of 6 feet 2 Inches, unfortunately was handicapped by.illness. Hen derson (Georgia), another giant, was the bulwark of his team. Among the guards, first choice falls upon Burns, of Auburn, and Lambert, of Texas, with Peacock, of Georgia, and Carter, of Virginia, as the respective second choice. At end we have a number of ster ling performers. Gillem (Sewanee) did not allow the captaincy to de tract from his skill. His drop kicking and punting were matched by his brilliant defensive end work. Robinson (Auburn) played one of the finest defensive games I have seen this year. E. Brown (Van derbilt) was the best end in cover ing kicks, but his lack of weight prevented him from being used for all tackle purposes in the new game. McGee (A. and M. Missis sippi) was another fast and deter mined end. Baker (Tulane) was a splendid receiver of forward passes, and Montgomery (A. and M. Texas) one of the best of the Texans. At quarterback no one approach ed Morrison (A’anderbllt’s 1911 star) as a general, but several equaled itis work as a runner and excelled in the kicking game. Costello (Georgetown) was a spectacular player to watch. Good tackles were plentiful. Barker (Mississippi) displayed a marked advance over his 1911 form, and gave a fine exhibition against Vanderbilt, saving Mississippi many points by his great defense. Brown (Vanderbilt) was a fine tackle, and Lamb, of Auburn, was another good tackle. So was Bowler, of Texas. Closely pressing him were Fletcher (Mississippi) and Kern (Texas), two fine dodgers. In the back field were many play •rs of high caliber. Hardage (Van derbilt) was one of the South’s best forward passers, a hard tackler, and a plucky player at all times. He merits the place of halfback on the all-Southern. Reule (A. and M. Mississippi) was a fast, powerful back of the line player, and H. Vandegraaff (Alabama) one of the most certain tacklers I have seen. These three make a back field of high rank. This 1912 all-Southem team, as chosen, has a fast, charging line of great defensive power, a back field composed of a great line plunger in Reule. two never failing tacklers, fast end runners, and forward pass ers in Hardage and Vandegraaff, with a wonderful kicker in Costel lo. As captain I would choose Hardage. MIKE DONOVAN'S SON WINS TENTH STRAIGHT NEW YORK.

Guthrie, okla., Dec. 17. — When Jimmy Thorpe, as he is called around the Sac and Fox Indian agency in Oklahoma, attempted to make good as a pitch er for the Anadarko baseball team, he did not come up to requirements and was released. This was several years ago. and Thorpe believed that he had the making of a good pitcher in him. He was a terror with the stick, however, and had he been switched to the outfield, he would no doubt have made good. Thorpe plays independent ball every summer in central Oklahoma and it is figured that ho will con nect with a big league when he finishes at Carlisle. Another Oklahoma Indian who is going into fast company next year is Mike Balenti, also a Cheyenne. He started with El Reno in the Western association in 1909 and last year was with Chattanooga. He has been drafted by the St. Louis Browns. Pitcher Bader, who goes to the New York Giants for next season, was unearthed in western Okla homa two years ago by Jesse (Tif ton, catcher for Guthrie in 1909 and 1910, and manager of Tom Hayden’s Burlington team in the Central association during 1912. Clifton saw Bader work and rec .ommended him to Howard Price, whp had the Western association team at Independence, Kans., in 1911. Bader soon made good by pitching a no-hit game against Sa pulpa. The Western association "blew up" in June and Price sent Bader to Dallas, Texas, and he was sold to McGraw during the recent playing season. . .. *RrW Cure, in 1 to 5 day, ■OF'Bf jpg fl • Gonorrhoea and Gleet.
