EIGHT
AN “ALL PREP” FOOTBALL TEAM
FOR STATE THAT COULD PUT UP
ft GOOD FIGHT ON ANT GRIDIRON
Mr. John Wilson, Coach For the Academy Machine, Has
“Doped” Out the Best Eleven, in His Opinion, Among the
Pig-Skin Players of the Prep Schools and High Schools of
Georgia- --•’White” Davis Best Punter in the State and
Bryan May Be Termed ‘‘the Human Battering Ram.”
(By JOHN WILSON, COACH A. R. C.)
The task of Relucting an "All l’ri'p’
team for Georgia Ib extremely difficult
an the strongest teams of the Rtate nr*
composed, to a large extent, of now
men and It Is Impossible to select a
team without giving some of theße
first year men a place 1 have follow
ed the games of our lending prop
ttnnis and after close study porsonal
observation, frequent discussion with
mrious authorities, I have, Hfter due
deliberation, chosen a team that, In
my opinion Is the best, among the
prep schools and high schools of the
State:
Ends —Harden Riverside; Godwin,
G. M. C.
Tackles—Bell, Gordon; Crane, Riv
erside.
I Guards—Hatton, Riverside; Mc-
Kenna, Benedictine.
Center —Amis. Gordon.
Quarter —Jones, Riverside.
Halves -Wilkinson, O M C.; Davis,
Richmond.
Pull—Bryan, Richmond.
Ends.
Harden, of Riverside, Godwin, of G.
M. C., Am entrout, of Richmond.
Moore, of Benedictine, and Hughes of
Gordon, are all good ends, possessing
speed, ability to advance the hall, abil
ity to catch passes, good. In general,
on offense and defense. Of these men,
Harden and Godwin have hail the ex
perience and have a shade on the oth
ers.
Tackles.
For the tackle positions, Bell, of
Gordon, Crane, of Riverside, and Mc-
Kenna, of Benedictine are head and
shoulders above the rest of the tackles
of the stale. These men have tha
weight the ability to advance the ball
and to break through aud spill plays.

guard.
Guards.
This position has not brought out
■my stars this season. Several men
have shown tip well but not quite well
enough for All Prep. Burkett, of Gor
don, and Daniel, of G, M C., are the
best of the lot Hatton, of Riverside,
Is a natural lineman and really belongs
at guard. McKenna certainly deserves
a place on the team These men have
been selected because of their weight,
ability to break through, fighting spir
It, and experience These two lines can
open holes for any hack field.
Center.
For the position of center, the name
of Amis Is down but this position Is
given him because he has a little more
weight and a. little more experience
than Rupert, of Richmond. The two
nre equal In all departments, the place
going to the Oorraon man for the reas
ons stated.
Quarter.
As the man behind the gun, Jones,
of Riverside. Is named He far out
ranks any quarter of the present year.
He possesses ability to advance the
ball, is good on returning punts, Is a
hard tackier, an excellent broken field
runner, and last, but by no means
least, is a good field general. Sims, of
Gordon, and O'Connor, of Benedictine,
are good quarters but neither is ns
good as Jones.
Halves.
For the halves several names are
prominent and tacked on to ns good
prep players as any team eould want.
Prentiss and McMlchael, of Gordon,
McCoy, of Riverside, Wilkinson, of G.
M. C., and Davis, of Richmond, nre
the pick of the lot. Brentlss Is a let

Full Back.
Bryan Is named as the Human Bat

of the season, and stands head and

Hatton. Bryan is an aeurate forward

seen him time after time, when it was
impossible to gain through a line dive
completely over the line, gaining sev
eral yards. Hatton Is a good man but
not so good as Bryan. Hatton Is too slow
for the style of football played today
nor has he the all round ability of
Bryan. At the old style game of ham

Bummary.
In selecting a team I have endeav
ored to collect an aggregation that
could play any style of football. The
line from tackle to tackle, will average
170 pounds. The backfleld Is fast and
can play either the wide open, running
or passing game or the old style of
hammer the line.

Future Try-Outs---Things Are
Shaping in Baseball Way To
wards Banner For Augusta.
President Kalbfleisch of the Augus
ta Baseball Association will endeavor
to again gather the stockholders of
[the association together In an effort
ito settle several Important questions
j before the official meqting, which:
| will he held about the first part of the
.month of January.
A meeting Is called for Tuesday
night at 8 o’clock at the Merchants
and Manufacturers’ rooms- the new
quarters. Mr. Kalbfleisch stated that
Friday night that he was present and
waited some time for the stockholders
to arrive. Hence the meeting was
postponed and will be held Tuesday
night. Do not forget the date and
the place, as matters of decided Im
portance will he brought up.
A communication was received from
Manager Dudley stating that the
country was full of good baseball
players, and a great many of them
excellent ones, who could be produced
for the Augusta club, and that he was
using every method available in the
|art of getting them. Dudley is at
tempting to "corner” the majority of
i these men, the players with good
playing reputations, and will give
| them an official try-out in the spring.
Things are gradually shaping to
wards Augusta having one of the best
hall clubs In the South Atlantic Lea
gue, starting, of course, next year.
Everything is arranged to erect one
of the best grand stands, in fact, the
best, in the Sailie League, and should
the fans of this town give their co
operation towards this great asset the
matter will go through without a
j hitch.
| Even if Augusta has not been prom
inent in the past ns a pennant winner,
she has been known as a fighter, the
kind of a team that the other clubs
are afraid of. Surprises are always
looked for when Augusta is the op
ponent. Now, by no means, do the
officials of the future club desire for
this spirit to die out. No, on the other
hand a team is being mapped out for
this burg that will keep up the repu
tation.
It is rather a little cold to talk
baseball just at present, however,
there is nothing like keeping up the
spirit, so pass the good word, and It
will bring good results in the 1916 sea
son- and, maybe, a pennant winner;
who can tell?
