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.

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 ter ground gainer than hack In the state but this Is his first year In the From Par lor to Kitchen We have a com plete Rtook of fur nishings for the en tire home. The larg est v ar i <> t v f ro m which to make your selection. game and he is not as steady as the two I have named. McMlchrrel Is good but not so brilliant as Prentiss. Mc- Coy is very good but his all round work is not up to the standard set V>y the two selected. Wilkinson and Davis have been In the game for three years each—and they are in thegame every minute of the time. Wilkinson can circle the ends, buck the line, or play the passing game, and Is one of lhe best on defense In the state Davis is the best punter in Georgia an ex cellent forward passer, ean advance the ball as well as the best. Is fine on running back punts, or hacking up a team In any style Taking everything Into consideration, these two are a lit tle better than the others mentioned. Full Back. Bryan Is named as the Human Bat tering Ram. This lad Is the sensation of the season, and stands head and shoulders above the other fulls, except Hatton. Bryan is an aeurate forward passer and Is the best receiver of pa.ss cs in the state, He Is a sure tackier, always gets his man when running Interference, Is good at breaking up Interference, Is a good punter, and can tear holes through any line. Ills headwork Is brilliant, his thinking ap paratus being of the chain lightning variety Indoor athletics have devel oped him to a great extent. 1 have 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 mer the line, Hatton Is without a su perior In prep football. 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. ONE-MAN COACH SYSTEM FOR PRINCETON FOOTBALL Princeton, N.

Manager Dudley Getting 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?
