"With the 1019 footbnll season now ancient history there comes the time of ynnr when the sporting critic must tnke up the role of Judge for long enough time to pick out a mystblonl eleren and brand it with the title of all-American, nil-Southern or all-whatever he wiints to make It.

The job Is hard enough In any event, but condition this year mnke the job harder than With the reappearance on Southern football of many warriors of a few 1 years hack, who have been nbundant In thu South- this year, ns they have been over the entire country. In fact, they are utmost Hupor-abuntlnnt for the dope artist. But here goes. Tho. most logical thing to do a case like this seems to be to first give the team captain to start 'em off on their mythical Journey In fuotballdom.

This gentleman Mhould be a rare player, a natural leader and a gridiron Solomon.1 When this description or recipe la outlined, the next Job la to linil the man to fill the bill. This year the lumorce Is rlirht lien at home, as Josh Cody has been playing around Dudley Field, where we can all get a glimpse of him In action occasionally. Ho was the most brilliant individual football player In the South during the past season. Iteing Messed with a rugged physique, HIS pounds avoirdupois, and a Utile speed In addition, he was Just doomed to he football player. At the end of his fourth year of college football at Vanderbilt he was the peer of Southern linesmen.

every game the Commodores 'played during the season -which hua just closed Josh was one of the stars "orVthe affair. Always wide awake, In every play, and. leadhiff bis (eiunmateH In the attack. Cody bus been the very backbone of the Commodore eleven. Ills play- Imr linu 11fl4.11 lu.nii filially hill llf not.

II grandstand He" was just smashing away all of the time, with every bit of punch Jie had. ho became Ihe bug-hear of all" opposing teams. He was watched In every game like a hawk: watches a ehlckun, with two or three men1, nn htm In everv nlay. Hut still he shone brilliantly in spite nhnll opposition. In addition to being a strong defensive player, hu has done all "the drop-kicking for bis team during, the past season and headed everv Interference." Good on offense and deionne aiwe, ami senooicci mu craft and strategy ike gridiron for four years under the tutelage -of Coach Dnniel MeGugln, the Suuth's greatest football wizard.

Josh Is tho only eligible man for the captaincy of our mythical sill -Southern Day at Coiiter. During the past uson there have heen l'osaiblv four or. flv pivot men who have shone consistently throughout the season, T)oy of Georgia, Sessions of Alabama, Phll-. lips, of Tech and Early of Vanderbilt have "nil well for their respective elevens. Early, the local buy.

got away to a bad start, but found himself In the game against Georgia Tech. I'hllllps, Tech's captain, has flnishedhls fourth year in great style. Itut neither of these men la good enough for an all-Southern team. Sessions and Day are the two really great centers in Southern circles this season just Dny was good enough to make the nil-American In 11)17 and has been playing the game 'of his young life all season. He Is biff fellow, with plenty of, speed- May-.

trig on weak team, the" whole "attack Is centered nhout this big fellow. Like Cody, i' he is the mainstay of his team. Sessions, mnst also be given much credit. He has 'been star ball, for Alabama for, tho oast few, seasons. Liko Day.

he Is big-. 1- and active, 'on his toes all the time, plny-( ing smashing game for Crimson eleven. He can hardly be given the berth over Dov. hut Is nevertheless one of the best indlvldmirphiyei's In if Scarcity of Cuiirdw. Although tills has heen a good sen soil for individual stars, there hav6 been -no really great guaflls on any Southern team.

C'ou- sequently some good men must be selected-(-for this position who are-nnturally -lifted for the places. Da I ley and lleudillx of Vanderbilt have both played very, well this i -Benson, but are Immature for that dlstluc- tlon. Hood of Alabama, Amis and of Georgia Tech and -'Henley of the (.. Mississippi Aggies are all good m.en;: but have not the earmarks of.v'gEcotMincsruen. Sessions, the Alabama center.

could i used in this position very easily donldpfl nrtvnntnifo. Ho is endowed bv' nn-- ns our' old Iron WU llame, whtkused to prance around on Dud- j- ley Field. Ie is fast and aggressive, a good diagnostician of plays, and quick to seize nn opportunity. A good running mate lit for this young gentlomuu would be our Tom Lipscomb, fho 'would 1HJ' in this 'L'ffiin to ii niipon'n taine. -fAv-hiini mi bio hna t.t;been annoying Tom this but has not fi' Interfered with his playing.

The ilrst game to be played here will probably be with the crack Illinois Athletic Club about 1. Return gnmes have been arranged with tho Birmingham Athletic Club, but the iiares are as yet uneeruiin.

The proetlces so far have found quite a number of the old stars ready to get back into the scanty clothing. Some of the men who have reported for the workouts ore Brown, IMnson, Burton, Welsh. Hughes, Petway, IGiuerson, rsiinrpn, iiuggnis uim Tlgert. lin tne khikic caw iu uiu, hi nro Tiirprt all the men mentioned have played with the in other years. Some of them have not been seen in action in several years, but old ape does not seem to be worrying them a' great deal- Doctor Kcim nna moiik nnarpe uv iitoii taking charge of things this year.

Monk Is tho captain and coach of the team, while FRANK AND LOGAN IN SOUTHERN SCRAP Mobile and Atlanta Magnates to Fight to Finish. MOBILE, Nor. 20. The Jiomlmstlc announcement from Atlanta tnnt Cliarlcy Prank has declared himself that either lie or John D. I.osan.

head of the Mobile cluh, will have to cct out of the Southern I.eaKUe only caused Locnu to set his Jaw hard iind Hinlle Erlin smile. Chol Frank, who has ruled the league off aim on for. years uf ten to Its near undoing la KoliiL''to nnd himself un ngnlnBt It when lie bucks a IlKhter like I-oRnii. The latter may not be so old In baseball as Cholly, but he's had tils tlclits outside nf (he irame and ho has yet to lose one, cither as corporation head or mmi-nr of a bill business enterprise. Frank has elected to make his test in the courts and Logan Is willing, though he would prefer to have a baseball, controversy settled Inside tho courts of baseball, where Thorow.

as everybody knows, Is over tho services of Pitcher Keller Hasty. At least thnt is the direct cause, of the row. though what really angers Frank Is that ho lias found a man In the Southern League who won't bend the kneo to Frank. It's the old laic with Frank IC ho can't mnke 'em do his way. then ho "throws em out." This time the Chubby One wll And his opponents taking courage nnd It likely will bo found that for once Charley frank will llud himself only small potatoes in the Southern League.

Case Goes to Southern Ieogue. President Logon went to tho SprlngOeld meeting of the minor leagues lo present the Hasty case to the national hoard, but that body decided a decision Ilrst must be given by the Southern League nnd that It could hoar It only ou appeal, ho when the league meets next month Logan will nsk a showdown. He Is conlldent he has the evidence that will establish Mobile's claim to Hasty right there and thnt but one decision can be given, but If It hnpnens otherwise then he will tnke his appeal to the board. If Frank still elects to light the case oat In the courts, then the Mobile cluh will give liiin bottle though, as Btuted, Logan prefers to keep a baseball row nut of court. The facts lu the HnBty case In brief are Frank signed the young pitcher concluded he could not use him, no turned hftn over to Mobile.

When HnBty began to show form uudor ltob Colemnn'B handling, I' rank wonted him back, claiming he only "loaned" him to Mobile. Frank aimed he made the loan arrangement with Charles CoIbhou, secretary of the Mobile club at that time. Caisson formerly wus Frank a llght-liiind man on the Atlanta club. Logan would not recognize any such arrangement and claimed Colsson had no right to make It. Tlien Frank went into court nnd the case is still pending.

In the meantime Frank arranged for Hnsty to report to Connie Muck. Now the issue Is whether Mack shall turn Hasty buck to Mobile or deal with the Mobile club for him if he wants to keep tho pitcher. Logan is prepared to carrv the case to the American League if linn t.i nml be has certain, reasons lo believe thnt Connie Muck will recognize Mobile claim us booh tuu cleared in court.

UME-FOGGERS TO HOLD MILITARY PARADE MONDAY Following a rtview by the school at 1 o'clock th'f It. O. T. C. battalion of Hume-Fogg High School will parade Monday afternoon at '1 o'clock Instead of last Wednesday, us originally plnnned.

"The boys will wear their uniforms nnd march over all the principal streets. The K'rls will bo lu line at 1 o'clock In their olive drab suits. The boys will stand a retreat in front of the reviewing Btand aV Eighth avenue, and Broadway, while the ''Star-Spangled Banner" Ib being have played brilliant football. Our pick has heen Olllngcr and Xcrfoss, for several reasons. Both are good punters.

Zerfoss, with the single exception of Frank Guar, Is the greotest punter In the South today. OJllnger Is also good in this department of the game, his ability having been conclusively proven In the Vanderbilt punu and the Tech game. Doth ore also guml receiving ends, good both at pulling passes down out of the nir and at breaking up 'the passes of th opposition. Zerfoss is th' better of the f. t- most finished Player In the tson.

past season. 1 hough he la rather light, he handles himself with such grace and precision as to be an exceedingly dangerous man. He is a sure tackier. Fast, aggressive and full of right, he Is wonder on the defense. However.

It Is nt diagnosing the opposition's plays that has made him invaluable to the Commodores. His value was proven in the Alabama game, when be demonstrated tlio ability to break up the Crimson aerial attack single-handed. fie intercepted two passes and ran them hack for a total of more than sixty yards, Incidentally paving the way for the Commodores' hist touchdown. Ollinger is likewise a beady player. His punting and all around-work was a big factor In tho Tech defeat last Thursday.

Ihe other men mentioned are goud wiug-men. but have not the ability of the pair selected. Flowers at Quarter. The season just passed has failed to bring out any grcnt quarterbacks of the type of the lamented "Rabbit" Curry nnd Kay Morrison who used to hold the lime-light In the South. Trapp of Auburn, Hatcher of Tennessee nnd Gulll of Tecli art as good as there are at present.

Trnpp is the best of the trio, being fast and shifty. He rivals Derryhlll and Flowers in his ability to return punts. He la a good general and a good broken field ln'tn; llu ia not 1uIto Boon enough for nli-Southern. Guill Jins not plaved at quarter. very much this season, having been shifted to end when Flneher went to tackle.

He was not a wonderful back. Hatcher and-McCabe have been alternating at quarter for Tennessee. The pair the punch of the' Volunteer eleven. McCabe is- a youngster but promises to develop' into a wonderful back before he finishes his four years of college football. Ho will llinkn hntfnr llm.

else, although Bender Roems bent on using Ul 1U1I. 1L iUOKH JlKe 1110 bCBt thing forour fictitious eleven would be to Beloct a good man for quarter and put him in that place. Flowers Is the man selected to fill the vacancy. Dy his hrll-liant work this year FlowerB has again called the attention of all the sport writers in-the country to his ability. He was au almost universal favorite in tho selection of all-Southern elevens in the year of 11)17.

This season bos been, even better than the 1017 one. Ho beat the Commodores single-handed, making all three touchdowns made by the Yellow Jackets after brilliant runs. Ho punts, carries the ball and does everything a model quarterback should do. I'le Is a wonder at returning punts and would make a good defensive quarterback for this reason alone. In nddlilon to this talent he is the best broken field' runner In the South.

He has the experience' and football wisdom essential to be a quarterback of the first-closs variety. Berry, and Steve Halves, Berryhlli and Stevenson -are the hnlvcB for our team. After a careful consideration of the best back In the South, we must hand these hoys have the places. Scott and -Williamson of Auburn, Ilarrou of. Tech, Lenoir of Alabama and -Coughlau of Se-wnnee have been considered for the place, but were deemed to bo a little behind Berry and Steve.

Berryhlll's dazzling speed will recommend him for the place. In every gnme he. has starred for the Commodores. At returning nuutn he Is a marvel. With out strong Interference he has been able to gain ou nil the teams Vanderbilt played uurint; tne season, oteveuson or.

Ainnama is fullback who would fit In perfectly In the other vacant He Is a. big fellow hut Is fast ond shifty. He punts, runs and smashes" the line, fin 'is the best In the South when it- comes to gaining ground or fake punt formation. His weight, speed and ability to-pick an open-lag make "him one. of "the best backB In the section.

Harlan of Tech, StevenBon of Alabama, Shlrling' of Auburn, RusboII of the Mis--Blsalppl Aggies ure the beet bets In the Soutn at the fullback position. Harlan nnd Stevenson are by far the best of tho lot. In fact, they are both so good they have both bee picked for the ull-South-ern team -now in the process of creation. Stevenson wnsput at one.of the halfback positions and Harlan will fill the fullback vacancy. Harlan has played consistently during the whole, season.

He is the plunging fullhnck'Tn the South. His ability wus 'proven in the latter part of flu? Pittsburgh-Georgia Tech game when he tore the Pitt line apart at will. He has been Tech's greatest asset next to Flowers. The team which has been selected certainly looks good on paper nnd, from all appearances, would he a wonder In action. With a fast powerful line and with both speed and weight -in; the back field there would he a punch'ln the eleven.

Which would tho" Centre College o'utflt "df Danville, Ky. Tho -line would, average about W5 pounds, from tackle to tackle, being well balanced. This Hue-Is notr'ns heavy as it might be, but the 'speed of these big fellows would offset any difference In weight. A quickly forming interference of tremendous iwnr would be possible. With two game little ends tin flanks would be amply protected.

Both the men choBen for the wings aw uiv tuoklers, good receiving ends nnd "xetdleht punters. The boekfleld would be -composed of two medium -fll Jsed, fast men. Berryhlli and Flowers. With these two to skirt the ends and return punts tho of feu -Blve. power of.
