AlliiPOWNHATCH ON 1907 GAME COACH HEISMAN SELECTS AN ALL' SOUTHERN ELEVEN Rewanee and. Vanderbilt Cop Big HonorsWith Gaston of Clemson and Davis of Tech Getting Places Others Mentioned. ALL SOUTHERN OF 1907. By J. W.

Helsman. Left End Lewis Sewanee Left Tackle. Stone Sewanee Left. Guard. f.

McLaurln Clemson Center. Stone Vanderbilt Right Guard. Gaston Clemson Right Tackle- Davis. Tech Right End Blake B. Vanderbilt Barrette Sewanee Left Half Campbell.

Vanderbilt Right Half Craig. Vanderbilt Full Back. Lanier Sewanee There will be many who will ask why McLaurin and Oaston who play at the tacklo positions should be selected as guards for an All Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association or why La Jtlu who plays at halt on the offense should be chosen as full back. I an- wer that It Is merely the necessities Of the local situation that forces men' general to play in a particular posi tion on- their own team. because the team must have balance and the coach places his stars with reference to wha.

arrangement will work out as tire strongest all around combination whether It shows up the Individual to tn best advantage or not. Bearing this in mind. It would bex an injustice to sucn men as Mcfcaurin and Gaston and Lanier to leave them off the Big" team just because they happen to be Crowded out at the places they play on their own team. but are yet In reality tar ahead or her pla ers In other potions were they but given an opportunity to demonstrate their ability in those positions. In other words.

the' man who selects tm All Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association must go over the quallflca tlons of' all the players of all the teams from the viewpoint of a coach. and select his men as he would place and play them were he called upon to line his Alt- Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Asso elation team up against some other team. A From thiipotnt of view ha could not tall to find places on his team somewhere for Gaston and McLaurtn It a question if they aren Quite as ItOOC tackles. as any placing In the assocja lion today. Both are very experienced.

very nervy. strong on defense. well seasoned and both carry the ball with power and judgment. They are. how- ever not quite as good at advancing the ball as atone 01 sewanrc AU" tjo.ii- or Tech and it is for this reason I prefer the latter two tor tackles.

as tackle Is th best line position from which to swing Out a runner. But. no guards of the' day are an Improvement over Gaston and McLauriri on defending or on opening up hole and none of them carry the ball at all so way should these two fine players be kept off the big am because of the accident that they happen to be the best men to play tackle at Clemson when at guard they could play rings around any cther guards that could be named' Others night direr with me as to that. but It my firm conviction nevertheless. Sherrlll of Vanderbilt is perhaps.

the best man of the ear that Is realty playing at guard position though Smith of Tech Is not so far behind him. Hen- enon of Tech and Dougherty of Ten- nessee and Britt of emson are excellent defensive guards. Soglnll of Mer- ocr Is A good man. Stone Is the Kton Having' explained my method or putting together the best all around team. the next position to settle is the center.

There Is probably. less argument here than at any other position on the team Stone or Vanderbilt has no rival for the He Is large. strong. fast experienced a faultless snapper and a demon on defense. In short ne possesses every qualification for a great center.

Here again however. we may pause to note that Stone only plays center on the offense on defense he backs up the line that Isto Say if the ups were given out with reference to the defensive formation we should have to call Stone a quarterback or a halfback That's another happenstance dependent upon the defensive scheme or policy of the particular coach over him. Take Lanier. who plays halfback' on the offense arid fullback on the de lease take Snyder or Tech who plays center on offense and left end on defense take Shlpp who plays halt on defense and quarter on defense or take a dozen others whom I could name and you will see the absurdity Jn the. modern method or' picking and placing players of attempUg to restrict the' abilities or usefulness of a.

man to what he can do. on the offense alone In one set position Merely. Players must be gauged by what they can do all over the field. and In every department and it thy come up to the re rjuJrements. a place must be found for them.

whether its the. 4 posl- yon thy happen to play on thepr own team or not. VlelL Stonewall Stone is fir for center. and Snyder of Tech I put second. lie is a light man for the position but chock full of grit.

and is one of the heat defensive prayers in the south. Lncas of Georgia is an excellent player. Tackles Hard. to Pick. With center and guards disposed of welcome to the hardest problem of the day.

There have seen more- good men at the tackle positions this year than at any other places. Talent for these two berths simply. overflows the ya cancles. As above noted. I got.

rid of two of them by putting them In. at guard there being no comparison between the' best guards of the year slid half a dozen of the best tackles from the standpoint' of around playing ability. JThe best tackles omitting to consid er Gaston and McLaurin now have been Stone of Sewanee. Davis of Tech. Xtevis of Auburn.

Hasslock of Vanderbilt. Barks of Alabama and Word-pt IF Tennessee. Brown. too of Tech is not to be overlooked and certainly deserves most honorable mention. Now Davis of Alabama is just.

about as good a defensive tackle as a man would ask to look at. Unfortunately. he does not carry the ball like Stone and Davis of Tech and from the' coach's viewpoint of around worth. must with much. reluctance be put aside.

The same might to a lesser silent be said of Word and Hasslock. For this reason I give the preference to Stone of Sewanee. and Davis of Tech. and though the competition is as I said. mighty keen for tackle jobs.

I don think many will be disposed to differ with Inc in my final choice and Its' a sufficient comment on their general excellence that they are selected over and above such field. Sonic Pretty Good' Sled. The selection of Bob make is easy for one end for he does all things in football well. He runs. tackles punts.

passes. catches. and interferes with equal facility and effectiveness all football playing- looks alike to hint and simply because or this he must be put down as one of the very btrh st grade players of th year He would make Ms mark anywhere But the selection of a running mate for him is a job proper. There's Smith of Georgia MeFadden and Coles or Oiernson wls of Sewanee V. Blake of Vanderbilt and Pratt of Alabama who are are rattling good men.

It Robert of Tech hadn't been laid up much of tb season could have demonstrated to the football world what could do in Me games. I firmly he would have the nil for the for like Blake. he does many things wen In football. As it is I must. to be conservative.

give the place to Lewis' of Sewanee. though Robert and Leach of Tennessee crowd him very hard. Leach's goat kicking from the field Is great. but he runs very well deed with the ball as well. and la an I excellent JefWinlir.

io Quarter a Problem. The same drawback that keeps Robert from getting a. berth keeps Costen of Vanderbilt out of aposltion. In addition he Is probably the superior of Barrett. but a coach must pick and use his sound men and Cpsten has hardly been that all season Blame muffed punts to an.

Injured knee If you like but its a fact still a condition and not a theory and costs games. no matter to what it due. or course we all- sympathize with poor Costen and I know he as game as the- game makes em but this selecting bust- sa is business. and not sentiment Barrett is a very good man. Still he hasn't so ery much on Buchanan and Hlghtower of Tech or McClure of Auburn or.

on noon or Alabama. I choose Campbell and Craig. Why' Because I think they are the. best men. i Now.

lets not have an argument about' It ou simply choose whomsoever you like. and Ill do likewise. Yes. I know and admit that Shlpp is a very. very good man.

but not quite as good as Craig on offense and not quite as good on defense as Campbell. Ill concede be in their-class all right. but I would prefer the other two. Everybody knows about the work of these two backs so there's no need to tarry here. except to point out Carolina Georgia and Alabama can never hope' to defeat Tennessee teams as long as the latter get halfbacks who man All Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in their freshman year.

as Craig Campbell and Lanier have done. for back field not lines win games In the new system of football. Will' not put Shlpp on end Because the position under the new system is considerably dissimilar from that of halfback. Guard and tackle work are much alike fullback and half back duties are great akin but not so much so halfback and end. We know that- Lanter can play a successful fullback for he has done it we don't know that Shlpp could play end successfully.

But be Is a great player. and Sewanee owes him much. Lanier I plane at fullback because he's just too valuable a man to leave off. He can play fullback as well as he can half. He a large strong fast.

and a wonder on open field work or handling and bringing back punts on tackling and all the rest. Ills work I consider strictly on a par with that of Craig and Campbell When it cornea to other halfbacks I do not class any of then alongside or Craig Campbell liter and ShiPP. Ware of Auburn and Reidy of Alabama come perhaps the nearest to them. MeCol- luro of Tennessee deserves notice. Marfcl of Se-canoe would be my second thoice for full though' Hughes' and McCoy of Auburn are first class players.

Wert of Tennessee is very. good man. How the Tem Compare. I would hesitate to say that the An- Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association am of 07' was better than last years and yet there Is little ground for declaring It weaker. No man of this team bucks with Mauler but nler is a more valuable and all around.

player than Manley. and makes up the difference- thatway Bob Slake Craft Stein And Sex Stone are certainly better thaft they re lat year while. the new faces on the team will fairly wen bold. their own with those- that. have vanished with th possible exception that no tackle of the year is quite th equal of Pritchard of last yar team.

On the whole th team is fully up to th bestpreviou standard. It may be worth while. noting that the relatlv number fcf men a steam ba RIJNTERS WHO MET YESTERDAY DOVGLASS CAPTAIN OF THE NAVY AD BEiVfl MEMBER OP THE ARMY TEAM ARE RUOWNED AS TOE ARTISTS. on the Southern Thtercouegrati Athletic Association is by no means i test as to the relative worth of the material on each team judged as a whole It happens that Sewanee and Vauderbili have each four men on the team ant also it happens that the rest of theli material Is fairly evenly matched th on team with the other but leavlnj out of account the four men each I on the Southern Intereolleglatl Athletic Association it must not uPPCiled that their remaining sever men are no better than the analogous seven on the Auburn. Georgia.

Tech 01 Clemson teams. As a. matter. of fact the average playing ability of the re malning seven on either Vanderbilt 0 Sewanee is considerably that the same seven or the other four. Henci it follows that the caliber of the wnoll eleven men or any ofvthe last four I decidedly lower than that of the Sewa nee eleven or tb Vanderbilt eleven Tennessee undoubtedly leads her Slate states further south than she when 1 comes to quantity and quality or foot baUlBts.

SOME AUTO GOSSIP FOR AUTO FIENDS- It is a curious morganatic union this Floe- Ida beach' race of next Starch with Shitluckt Garage" putting the ring oxp the finger of the Florida East Coast Automobile. Association and the parental American Athletic Association saying Bless you. my children. Still anything- goes under th marriage rules of the automobile game. An Interesting Illustration of how the.

mechanical controversies of the automobile engineers gradually adjust themselves Is furnished by th use of th chain and shaft drive. Broadly speaking th chain drive ma said to be European and the shaft American but the two points of view are converging to agreement for the Amen- can designers are showing a tendency toward adopting the chain drive tar high powered cars while the foreign makers employ ti shaft drive' for small cars. The balance of th problem is exemplified In an American cu which being of French design and built hers may betaken a representative of the hlgSest type In combination. Jn this ear the double chain drive is used for 80 to to horsepower models sad a shaft drive for the 22 horse power town car. This draws- the line clearly sad the attitude of the wise one toward this car seems conclusive of the propriety or- the policy.

When theT are pinned down to the facts th majority of automobile dealers admit that then. i more talk about hard time than Is warranted by the actual state of business now as compared with other sears. Charles T. Terry chairman of the legislative committee of th American Automobile Association hopes to' bare all worked out soon th problem of uniform laws for automo bile. in th sever states This is part.

of the work being don by th American Automobile Association of benefit to all motorists yet thus. woo accept these boons of the. national body with least thankfulness are gen fl8I1T those who do not even give it tile support of twlng a member. It Is an ill wine that blows no one good. sell Sore.

benefits accrue during a alack season. Two or three Interesting inventions hare been worked' out by retail automobile dealers recently. Because one un Is heavier than another is no reason for It to be more durable. It Is not th quantity of pure rubber. and the number of layers fabric- In' a tire that mikes it heavy but.

tether th composition used In the tread. In one tire. Tor example then. Is more fabric and more pure rubber cushion than In others that are heavier it is thicker. but.

at th MOM time tighter than the general run of tires. To difference la th weight depend. upon th nee of white lead and' other Ingredients for the tread which has to be compounded because pups rubber would not stand th wear. Now that sat bsexi formally" voted by th American Automobile Association to hold ajVanderblh cup race in UpS the composer to th croakers coterie wil get busy on the word. and discord of a new eroaUnc theme.

Robbers Get 4OOO FrcAn Bank. BwlalU. Mo. November SO A telephone message from New Franklin Howard county mile front sethia says that robbers last night-dynamited the safe of the New Frank ha bask. ransacked the vaults and escaped with HMO cola and Not in several years had the two teams' punters the equal of Beavers of the Army' and Captain Douglas of the Navy.

They both played last year but booted the pigskin- much further and more accurately this season. Beaw- ers In the Yale game at West Point repeatedly drove the. hall back Intqr Yale territory for. every yard Yale had gained by rushing. He was not the equal.

of Coy but the Army ends trot down the field faster than old. Eli's- and downed the Yale backs when the ball fell so pot a foot of the flight was lost. Again in the Cornell game Beavers held his own with Walder. Who distanced Harlan. Princeton's punter.

Douglas' best performance was in competing with Burr or Harvard and he had little the worst of that argument. lie afterwards sent longer and better placed punts than Vorhis of Penn State. BALL PLAYERS SUCCESS DEPENDS ON NOISY FANS. WHO MAKE OR BREAK HIM Br BYRON CLARK. Noisy.

fans make a break a player and It. the rcoters takp after a player he generally a gone in a short tlmeS The fan doesn't. think when he starts after a young player that he can discourage him. but II. ball player is.

In a nervous state all the time in a game. If the fans only would cheer him up a little he would do much better. But the tan would much rather jumped-him especially if the player is young and has Just joined the club. The new player wants to get everything in sight and he will go after mote than an old one will. It he makes a mistake the rooter' will jump on.

him at once. In one of the' New York and Chicago games the boys in. the bleachers jumped. all over young Doyle for a bad play. What can any one expect of a young' player coming Into a big league The old players are all against hint too.

They don't like to see a young player succeed. The only' show a young plaj er has is when they cant get any one else to fm in" with. Then he gets a chance to get ther his stags fright. Doyle overcame his. nervousness enough to be hailed as a star in his first year in baseball.

There is A Chicago fin on. the wt side that win drive a player' to the madhouse. Ha has a voice like. the biggest lion and he can use it more than the lion ever thought of. He was at.

the Detroit and Chicago games and had everybody crazy in the grand stand with that roar of his. In the Western league not long ago the game was a tie and there- was a storm' coming up. They were in a hurry to get the. game. out before it rained.

Two- men were out in the tenth inning and the next batter came up and hit a little fly right over the who was waiting to catch it when the wind came up and earned the ball out of the grounds and In a cornfield and it never was found afterwards. It won the game. If play that had come in th early part of. the game there would have been a hard kick on it but as it was the last of the one everybody ran for the clubhouse to get out of the rain and let it go. at' that.

There' was a funny decision made years ago in the Northwestern league in a game between Peoria and Quincy. A. long fly was hit. in the left field and the left fielder got on top of the fence and caught the ball. The umpire would' not allow the out.

saying the bill was out of the field. The Peoria thm which suffered the decision left the' field and would not. finish the' game. After a man made' a play like that he. deserved credit hut did not get it from the umpire although every one at the' game was with the Peoria team.

That was the kind of work that hurt the Northwestern league more than anything else. I umpired In the Northwestern for two years but never gave a. man. a home run oraa wonderful a catch. I have made lots hr bad mistakes but.

not like that one. It was about thla time that ffmii Poe. tee was in the Northwestern league. We called him Wild 111. lie was a great player in the field hat ha thought he could pitch.

HeTwu swift one but you never could tell where a ball was going He was pitching one day in a hot game and his arm. cracked like a pistol. Ills arm had broken and poor Foster was gone as ball player. Before that he came out first with St. Paul club in 1882.

nil later on be played field for New York. He was just like Rube Waddell. always raising the mischief with his. club by going away and not. saying a.

word to the manager. He lid Rube would have been a good pair to have in one team IA the same time for a manager to look after. Foster was a great base runner and fast. and. you never could tell whether he was going to slide or jump oyer you.

In a game at Fort Wayne he tried to jump over. Ed Marrl1l. the second' baseman. He landed right on Ed's back and stood there and the baseman could not catch him with the ball. Foster jumped off and got the base safe and then.

laughed. at. him. It made Ed so mad life threw the ball at hint but- missed and Poster went to third base on the' play. Poster was the trickiest player on earth.

at that time. and the. roughest kind of a ball player. He Carrie from the' far' west and he could not get over being rlugh till- his arm was broken. He.

has not been heard from since that time. He. probably is out west riding burros or donkeys for he would have a good time wherever was The first time ever saw him Was when he came to. Port Wayne with the St. Paul team.

When he got off the train you would have thought Buffalo. Bills Indiana. were In' town--- for he commenced to yell like an Apache The people all ran out from- their houses to see what had come to it was only Foster. lie was a big drawing card add every one in town' wanted to see him play halt AMERICAN ASSOCIATION HIT SOUTH LASTf SEASON Milwaukee Wls November 30.

Philadelphia Pa November 3 The- Navy1 today defeated its lubber twlnM the. Army In therxannual foot. ball conflict on Franklin' field by the score Of. 6 to 0 before a urulfani and representative assemblage of nearly 30000 Though the score looks close. the West Point team never se rlously threatened the Annapolis goal the midshipmen playing all' around their opponents at nearly every stage-of the contest.

The result- was a surprise to the Army for. with' a heavier team more experience and a better seasons record than the Navy. the cadets from up th Hudson could see nothing but victory But after the first tew scrimmages. It was seen that the Navy was very sttong and the way the midshipmen broke up. the- cadets' line and raced around their ends took the Army' off their feet.

The Army was plainly on the run but like good soldiers. thy came back and fought the sailors hard. It was no use however for it was the Navy's day. Fourth Class Contest. From a scientific viewpoint the game will go down in history as a fourth-class contest.

The new. style plays particularly. the forward pass were features nearly every time they were' tried. Neither side appeared to have the strength to- penetrate its opponents line successfully and' both te ms resorted to much punting' and. end.

runs. The only score of the game was made In the first half which. was full of action. from the off to. the' timekeeper wbist e.

The midshipmen twice had the ball within striking dl. tanee and each time failed' to follow up their advantage. Douglass ma It. The Army braced but the Navy was not to be denied. Selecting Douglass to.

make the try the midshipmen dug their feet Into the ground. and with a might plunged' forward Doug lass with them with what proved to be the winning score. Lange kicked the goal. The second half was more or less listless play frequently being stopped to enable the trainers toflx up injured men. Each team constantly punted wlthjthe hope of recovering the ball on fumbles In Its opponents territory.

The star of the rue was Captain Douglass. 1111 punting was uniformly good and his tackling sure. But it was. running with the ball where he showed best. tDemott and Dague.
