CHARLEY BRICKLEY, OF HARVARD, AND A DIAGRAM OF HIS GREAT KICKING FEATS / Brickley clearly earned the title of “King of Goalkickers” when he kicked the five field goals against Yale. He showed his versatility by making one of them a place kick and the other four drop kicks. In the first period he drop-kicked a goal from the 25-yard line. In the second quarter a place kick traveled from the 25-yard line. Two drop kicks in the third period from the 35 and 32-yard lines and another from the 15-yard line in the closing chapter settled Yale’s fate. The diagram shows the kicking methods of Brickley and the distances from and the order in which his goals were kicked. By Mike Donahue. Auburn Football Team.) FIRST TEAM. Flayer. Position. College.

Jiecras&rlly he more or Jeps guesswork, a a it Is practically im possible for anyone to see every team In even one rame, Rven this would not be much help, because a player should be selected for hla work throughout the whole season rather than for his work in any one partic ular frame. At least, that is the way the writer is going 4 to look at it, and certain players that might otherwise be eligible are not to be considered because of their absence from the game during very critical times dur ing the season. Very prominent among thes are Brown and Morgan, of Vanderbilt, very good men and very probably All-Southern player®, but as far as their value to Vanderbilt from an S. I A A. standpoint i* ooncerned. they might Just as well have not been •n college. Another man te Taylor, of Auburn, who was the moat im portant man In Auburn's defense sys tem and very imi>ortant In the of fense aa wfcll. Taylor was no help in the last three games because of injuries and can not be considered, ill I T 1a then with all these misgivings that T undertake the task of ex pressing one among many opinions of what an All-Southern ream should be composed of. I am going to bunch the three center men becai* a the Auburn center trio lndh Id collectively outplayed everything they w ent against this year. Pitts at center was easily the best of the year; an accurate passer, a hard chargor on the offense, and u terror to opponents on the defense. He knew 7 how to use his hands on breaking through and his eyes were always wide open. Thigpen was the best guard of the Hear, shifty, aggresive, with plenty of r weight, he is All-Southern by a big margin. He was perhaps the most consistent player in the Auburn line, snd Just the kind of steady playel that a good guard ought to be. Lockwood at the other was ham pered a good deal bv injuries, but he played In nearly all the Important games, and was always prominent by his work. Not as shifty a* Thigpen, lie was still impervious to Any as sault around his territory, and occa sionally surprised opponents by breaking through and nailing the runner for a loss The average of the year on centers was not up to the usual S. 1. A. A. standard. • • • T HERE are more candidates for the tackle positions There were a good many fair tackles, but no really great ones, except, perhaps. Brown, of Vanderbilt, who is omitted for rea sons already mentioned If Louisell, of Auburn, had not been hampered by injuries most of the year. 1 would choose him, and if I had to pick a combination at the end of the sea son to play any other combination I would take him for tackle. His kick ing is also a very important factor. He was out a good (leal of the time, however. Perhaps the best and most consis tent tackle of the year was Schiletter, of Clemson. He is heavy, aggressive and a hard man to handle He has held his own and has mostly outplay ed every man he has been against this season. For the other tackle I will pick a player who, while he has not played that position, showed every indication that he could play it and play' it well. Dutton, of L. S. V . played a roving center against Auburn. sometimes coming through at guard, sometimes at tackle, but always boring in and tearing things up. He gave Auburn more trouble than any linesman this year. Esslinger. of Auburn. w*as a good steady player in this position, as also was Turner, of Georgia. w * * TT >BTNSON, at right end for Auburn, was the best end of the year, and i twas nearly impossible to get him out of the way Enoch Brown, of Vanderbilt, was also good, but not as good as last year. The cares of being captain and the trying to help out a weak line interfered with the effectiveness of his work. Kearley, of Auburn, is a good end that was spoiled by being shifted to the baokfleld in an effort to add weight to that department. He work ed well in the backdeld. and in the Georgia game played as good a game at end as anyone of the year. Con klin, of Georgia, was another good consistent player • • • N the backfleld there is no trouble i about the halfback positions as Newell am! McWhorter stood head and shoulders above everyone else, though I did not think that McWhor ter was quite as good as he was last r — ■“ *“* *—• ^ __ 1 —— — — * ^ —* — * • —- — ^ s r-=---=r C7 L*“' . >> " N. \ > X \ %\ V l \ N V • t YDS JO YDS J5 YDS Famous Tech Coach Selects Eleven for The Sunday American HEISMAN HAS CRACK IDI3 ALL-SOUTHERN TEAM By J.

(Coach Tech Football Eleven.) ■ N attempting a selection of the I best players In their respective positions for an All-Southern In tercollegiate Athletic Asociation team for 1913 it seems well to explain again to the reading public J,hat this asso ciation does not include every college that happens to be located in the South, which is the reason that no players are mentioned who are play ing on teams in Virginia and North Carolina, and but very few in South Carolina. A couple of association colleges are to be found in Texas and Kentucky, but these are so very far away from this section that a consideration of their players would he of no interest to the people of this vicinity, and our consideration of them prolmbfv would be equally uninteresting even to those colleges. Hence they are omitted. I look for a closer agreement among writers who will attempt a selection this y r ear than is usually the case. There are as many players as ever, but fewer of them stand out with prominence from among the rest than Is customary. ttinued on Next Page, Column 3.

H AD Morgan, of Vanderbilt, been able to play throughout the sea son; it is hard to say whether any body else would have been able to beat him out for the position of cen ter of not. But we are not called upon to decide that question, for the fads of the matter are that Morgan was not in the big games of the year, so how can he be considered as a candidate for All-Southern honors? It is true that it w r aa a mere misfortune that kept him out of those g&mw. in* so would It be if he had been taken with ty phoid fever, or had had a leg cut off by a circular saw wouldn’t he have been lost to an All-S. I. A. A team Just as surely as to the Vanderbilt team? No doubt he played well in the early season easy games, but how can a man be considered in this con nection unless he gets in the impor tant games later on as well? Pint* player thought I consider him. I feel that his misfortune must not be the misfortune of the All-S. I. A. A. team, and hence 1 can not see my way to put on it a man who is too crippled to play. This brings it down to Pitts, of Au burn. and Dutton, of L. S U. Never heard of Dutton? That’s because you don't keep up with football all over the circuit. He to one of the very greatest linesmen in the association, and even Auburn hates to say whether Pitts is a bet ter man than he or not. Both lads are wonderfully aggressive on the de fense, both have the ideal weight, with just loads of experience to back it up, and both know how to tackle, to block and to open holes. I am forced to rive Dutton the call. He is a mighty strappir fellow, weighing 19t> pounds stripped tine! stands 6 feet 3 inches. In the last two years he has played the entile time in every game. Never once has time been taken out for him. Th's shows that he has splendid endurance He is an accurate passer and fast as greased lightning He Is captain of the L S. r track team, holding at present the S. 1. A A. records for th* shot and discus. He is an exceeding ly clean liver, having absolutely no bad habits, and is always in tip top condition. Pitts is almost ns good. To tell the truth, 1 shifted these fellows bar* and forth at least BO times before I finally selected Dutton. Pitts is a very fast man in getting about the field of play, and a most accurate snapper. Loeb. of Tech, is still the player of grit par excellence, but no man with as low weight as 153 pounds can be given this olace Riddell, of Alabama, is a very re liable center rush, and deserves hon orable mention Barnwell, of Sewanee, has done re markably well for a first-year man. • • • Picks Auburn Guards. T HERE can be very little doubt about the guard positions tbs year. Nearly all the teams have new' guards, and il etonua to reason that Heisman’s All-Southern Team PLAYER. Dutton Lockwood ....

Auburn Auburn Vanderbilt Clemspn Vanderbilt Auburn Georgia Vanderbilt Georgia Auburn few of these can stand any chance at an All-Southern berth- * Auburn's superiority to other teams this season lay in her line, and she is naturally bound to have more of her linemen picked for plac- t on th a team than any other college. Au burn’s tackles are both new and wo do not pnd them overshadowing th* field particularly, but neither of her guards is new. Thee two men—Thigpen and Lock- wood—along with the great Pitts have been able to open up with ease every center bunch they have faced this year. Both men are very heavy and powerful, and both are thorough musters of the position Of course, Lockwood Is too slow a man to make an Interfering guard, but the way he crowds his bulk through an oppos ing line and dams up the opposition <f>lay before it ever gets up to the lino more than‘makes up for what he lacks in this one department of offen sive play. Klock, of L S. U., Is an extra good guard and comes nearest to a posi tion. Malone, of Georgia, Is an aggres sive, fast and experienced player, but he is too light to hold his own with the two i have selected, and as ho !a some half dozen pounds heavier than Means, of Tech, what 1 say for him must go for the Litter also. Means, however, has finished out a most creditable four years of college foot ball. He knows the guard position thoroughly, and his limitations n playing the game are those tht per tain to physique only. Hicks, of Alabama, is coming along fast and will mane a geal capable guard in another year. Captain McOallum, of Sewanee. has played a strong game at guard the entire season, and would be my first choice for sub-guard on our team. * * • Hard to Pick Tackles. O NE of the hardest problems in this task is the selection of the tackles, and that not because there are so many good ones to choose from, but because there are so few. Without a doubt the very best tackle playing in the South to-day is Tom Brown, of Vanderbilt. The only doubt abqut Brown’s right to a place Is the fact that, like Morgan, lie has been out of the game for a large part of the season on account of injuries. Still the only S 1 A. A. game that he missed playing was that with Auburn Had he been un able to get in the Thanksgiving Da\ game I should have had to cut him from consideration as 1 did Morgan. But his work .against Sewanee dem onstrated not only that lie was phys ically sound again, but that he was still the great player of former days. Playing up to his best former form there is no good excuse for keeping him off the team, especially as there are so few good tackles anyway; and I. therefore, make no apologies for assigning him a berth. He Hrs exert - thing that goes to make an extra fine tackle. When it comes to selecting Brown’s partner on the other side of the line we are confronted by much the most difficult guess in the whole lot. The most prominent of the re maining tackles hut© been Hayly arui Kglly, of Tennessee; Dobbins, of Se- wanee, Woodward, of Tulane; TuY*- ner. of Georgia, and Schilletter, of Clemson. Preas of Tech, was much the most promising new man of the year, but inasmuch as he has been ruled out it is impossible to discuss him here. Hayly and Kelly are very fair men, but I consider them a shade too light. Woodward is not to be despised, and Kelly has done some very good work. Between them and Schilletter it is almost a toss-up. I prefer the last named because of his three years of experience, and his ability to run with the ball. He is a 190-pound man and fast on his feet for his size. Take him altogether* and he makes a very dependable tackle. Forester, of Mercer, has played a jam-up game all year. Selects Ends Easily. I N Smith. Logan and Conklin, Geor gia has three rattling good ends. Tech has a promising man in Cushman, which same may easily be said for Taylor, of Auburn albeit both these men need more experience at the position. Carroll, of Tennes see, is a good end. And here—out side of my best two bets—1 find I have already come to the end of my string. I have little or no hesitation in saying that E. Brown, of Vanderbilt, and Robinson, of Auburn, are the two best ends of the season. Brow n was off his game in the ear ly part of the season on account of his troubles as captain of a brand new and mighty green and unprom ising team; but when it came around to the big gamtfs “Nuck” was right there again with the 24-carat stuff. The greater the responsibility the brighter Brown scintillated, both on offense and defense. “Nuck” has enough weight, plenty of speed, made A11-Routhern last year, has had four years’ varsity experience, has the grit of a bulldog and is an altogether high-class and dependable end. Robinson, of Auburn, is just as good .It the Other end of the "W«- are-seven” bunch. All that I have said about Brown goes for Robinson as well; and in addition to this the latter has such good weight that It makes it possible for him to stand and hold his own against Interfer ence if he sees fit to do so instead of going under it This renders it possible for him to use Judgment, and makes It difficult for the inter ference of the other team to figure out \ hat he Is going to do and just whirl, will be the best way to go at him These are two mighty hard men to get around, and they will hold their own in all-around football abil ity in comparison with any all- Routhern ends we have had in some time. • • * Paddock at Quarterback. THE selection of a fitting quarter- 1 back is one of the hard nuts in the basket this year. There are any •number of good quarters this year, and the Job comes in trying to de cide on the best, one. 1 am sura to make a lot of enemies here. When we confine ourselves to a limited list of 111© very beat we find that it Includes Tolley, of Sewanee. Boensch, of Vanderbilt; L. Dupont, of L. S. U.; Arnold, of Auburn; Patton, of Tech, and Paddock, of Georgia. The very best of these, J think, is Paddock. You will not find in the South this year a quarter, who can run faster than he in a straightaway, a man who can get through a smaller hole, a man who will drive nearly so hard, who will handle the ball any cleaner, w’ho w’ill select his plays and signals with any better Judgment, or w’ho will play with any more spirit. Tolley is a very good player, but he has nothing like the speed and plunge that Paddock owns. Boensch can punt and run with him. but that lets Boensch out. Arnold is a good man, but does nothing like the amount of work in a game that Pad- dock piles up. Dupont, of L. S. U., is a very £ood and acceptable quarter. He is espe cially fine with the 1 all. but he lacks the all-round finish of Paddock Patton is fine with the ball, but Injuries throughout most of the sea son rendered it impossible for him to get in tiptop condition, and for this reason also he lacked the practice to develop his defense to anything like his offensive standard; besides, his in terference must improve before he can make the All-S. I. A. A. He should be w’ell in the hunt next year, with no bad luck such as he had this season. Rainey, of Tennessee, is one of the most promising quarters I ever saw, and the Volunteers have a real find in this man. He does all things well, and by another year should be as good a man as Paddock Is this year, if not better, for he has more weight and strength than Paddock. 1 am glad I have but one quarter ! to pick, for a second choice would I harder to make than but one. * • * The Halfback Problem. T HE best half dozen halfbacks of the year have been Newell, of Auburn; McArthur, of Mississippi A & M.; Sikes, of Vanderbilt; Vande- graaf. of Alabama; Cook, of Tech, and j McWhorter, of Georgia. Probably no one will remonstrate j when I designate McWhorter as the most reliable half of the year. He has grown larger and stronger with the passage of time until now he is about as hard a man to bring dowm as ever stepped forth on a Southern grid. His defense has also Improved considerably, and he is a fine man to play back and receive punts. Not the last of his ^accomplishments is his splendid forward pass ability, and If it were desired that he should do so he would make a grand man to receive forward passes A very distinct advantage that McWhorter possesses- at least in the eyes of a coach—is his immunity to injuries; he never gets hurt—at least never so badly as to have to leave the game. I think it also due this young man to say a word regarding the clean ness of his game and his fine sports manship on this the completion of his college playing career. He has made the All-Southern ev ery year of the four, and in all that time I have never heard of any act that he committed on the field that he or anyone would have cause to blush for. This. I consider, is a rather more important matter than his playing ability. 1 trust he will permit me through this medium to extend to him my very sincere con gratulations. • • • H ITT as easy as it is to make a quick pick of McWhorter for first half, just so difficult is it to make a selection of a partner for him from among the remaining five. Newell has, perhaps, come in for more news paper space this season than any of the others, and certain it is that New ell is a wonderful little halfback. He is speedy, experienced, cool, -fast and determined. But so. for that matter, are the others. Cook and he are about as much alike in their game as are two peas in a pod. -Given the same line in front of him and I haven’t a doubt Cook would buck or go around the end quite as well as Newell. The latter may be a shade the faster on a straight run. but would he be after half an hour’s hard backing up of the middle of the line on defense the way Cook is called upon to do? I should like to say for Cook righi here that he lioa mad© th© best cap tain Tech has had in years, and when we consider that in addition to his hard work on both offense and de fense, and the captaincy of hi$ team, he gives all the signals as well and does most of the forward passing for his team, he is certainly entitled to a mighty warm handclasp for all his good work. Like McWhorter, it is almost impossible to put him out, and he has had to leave but one game since he started playing var sity football. All these things count heavily in his favor. Alabama sw’ears by Vandegraaf, and well they may, for here is one sure-enough player and halfback. No man playing in the South has shown more fighting spirit year in and year out than this light but speedy back, and the games he has won for Ala-. Kama almost single-handed are many. He will always have a place in Ala bama’s hall of fame. I don’t know whether T feel more sorry for Newell or for Vandegraaft or for Cook that I decide in the end to turn to Sikes, of Vanderbilt, for my other half. This man is heavier than either of the other three. He, in my opinion, is as fast as any of them, and is quite as good a defensive play er as there is in the South to-day. This last is my real reason for de ciding in his favor, although all must admit that he 'knows how to get around an end, how to make forward passes and, most assuredly, how’ to buck, for did not almost every critic pick him as All-Southern fullback last year? I myself placed him as All-Southern quarterback, which goes to show’ how versatile a player ha strikes football folks as being. * • * I MUST take time to point out that 1 most persons, not experts, assign too great a value to mere ability to run with the ball. They forget all about the other features. Now, in the East they incline to give the prefer ence to a man who is strong on the defense. That is why Yale for years and years had such a wonderful de fense. Look at it a moment this way: When Auburn and Vanderbilt came together, Newell’s offensive ability failed to show simply because Sikes’ defensive ability canceled it; but Sikes’ usefulness did not end there, for he was still the best interferer on either team, he could still run very well, ihdeed, with the ball himself, and rie could make the forward pass that resulted in Vanderbilt’s touch- d own. Give Sikes the same line in front of him that Newell had and he would buck, I believe, about as well as the best of Auburn’s fullbacks. Give him that same line and he would go around the ends about as well as does New ell. And then you would still have his wonderful defensive strength and his superb interfering ability. When you take EVERYTHING into consid eration, I believe Sikes is the most finished football player south of the Ohio. It’s hard onfthe others, for certainly it does seem that after putting in four such years of fighting and toiling as th© others have, they should be en titled to a place somewhere; but, somehow, I can’t see them alongside of Sikes. In the East he would be chosen in a minute, possibly even ahead of McWhorter. Logan, of Clemson, is worth very- much more than a passing mention. He is very fast, fine in an open field, and runs with great spirit and power. He reminds me over and over again of Roy Goree. Hester and Tenney, of Florida, are the best men on their team. The for mer would look good on most any Southern team. MacArthur, of Mississippi A. and M., is a real good half. Last year he played in the line, but on being tried out in the backfield this season, he promptly showed an ability to handle the problems of the position such as to encourage his coaches to keep him there the whole season, and to excel lent advantage. Cochran, of Mercer, deserves a most honorable mention,, and so does Fol- ger, of Citadel. Pick Auburn Fullback. XT O one doubts that the fullback must come from Auburn. But which of the four great fullbacks there is THE one for this selection? That’s a hard question to answer, and even the Auburnites are at a loss to say which, on ihe whole, is •the best of their unusually abundant crop. As one Auburn man put it to me: “Harris can do more work than any of the others; Bidez goes the hardest, but can’t last: Hart is the most dangerous, as he is likely to get away most any minute, while Christopher is the best in a slightly ^broken field.” Take your choice. After some deliberation and some dipping of coins I choose Tigris, for few teams can have moy e * i\<- good fullback, and if we are restrict ed to one—and there is but one se lection permitted for the first team of the S. I.A.A.—It will have to be the man who can do the most work and last the longest. That policy seems to have worked we’ with Auburn’s team this year, for they have inva riably started the game with Harris in the line-up. which meant that aft er takins- him out and resting him they counted on the opportunitv of being able to put him back In again for further work before the game was over. Afivway, anyone who saw his work against Georgia must be persuaded that he will do very well Indeed, whether any of the others will or not. Next to Auburn's fullbacks come Crump and Powell, of Georgia, with Webb, of Clemson, hardly a nose be hind. Altogether, considering Webb’s punting and forward pass ability, I must say that I would prefer to have Webb on my team to either Crump or Powell. Johnston, of Tech, has done very well at the position in his first year, and will be a much better player In another season. Long, of Alabama, earns honorable mention. • * * A Good Average Team. T"* HE team that I have selected * would, I believe, about hold Its own w ith the best previous All-S.I.A. A.teams. It is not a remarkably strong team, and on the other hand it can not be said to be weak. It is Just a good average team. Neither do l think there is a man on it able to displace any mai* whom I have here tofore selected for a position on a team made up of selections from all the All-Southern teams of the past. From the team standpoint, however, it will do very well, for it has the necessary weight and speed, and the players individually know' quite as much football as those of former representative teams.
