BY FUZZY WOODRUFF. If you were in the army you will remember one of tbe most popular and efficacious ways of range finding. Everybody in a squad would give his estimate of the range. The average range was then computed. That average range wae nearly always the correct range.

A year ago The Atlanta Constitution and The Atlanta Journal began to apply this same method in deciding on the Ail Southern football team. They gathered together the all southern selections of every football critic and coach in the section. The players who received (he most votes for particular positions were given the honor and a gold football badge emblematic of the same. This composite pick has now been recognised as tbe south's official football hall of fame. No southern play er can receive a higher honor unless he' hanoens to be named on Walter I Camp's All American.

'm pretty sure the composite the rect one, and I'm not saying this because personally, picked the great majority of the players that have I been returned victorious. But the team presented is certainly a tremendously formidable one. It could certainly hold its own agaihst I any team similarly picked from any other section. THIRTY CRITICS AND COACHES USED. Tbe opinions of thirty critics and coaches were utilized in making this composite team.

Many of the men were placed by practically unanimous selection. For otfier positions, the voting was desperately close. No greater tribute could be paid to the brilliant quality of the vork of Bo McMillin, the Centre college quarterback, than to point to the fact that of the thirty writers and mentors who made selections, exactly one score and ten selected Bo as the All Southern quarterback. This is an honor never before paid a southern player. It will be years before the same honor is paid any individual.

It comes as a fi ling climax to a great career. McMillin will take up the work of coaching next season. It is a noteworthy fact that twenty nine of the thirty selected Red Rob erts, McMillin's running mate, for one position or another, receiving 25 votes for jin end and four votes for scattering positions. Another red head, the famous Rouge Barron, captain elect of the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech. received 28 votes for halfback.

Owen Reynolds, the retiring captain of Georgia's Bulldogs, and probably the mostr brilliant end that the sooth has ever produced, received 20 of the ISO votes. In the other Bum Day, of Georgia, at center; Puss Whelchel, his teammate, at guard; Artie Pew. another Bulldog, at tackle; Judy Har Davenport and McMillan Star in Losing Struggle Staged by Valiant Georgia Team. lan, Georgia Tech, at fullback, and Goat Hale, the brilliant Mississippi college halfback, won their positions The other guard and tackle positions, however, developed the most spirited fights. CATON OF ALBURN' ELECTED GUARD.

The contest for the guard post became a between Caton. Auburn's famous lineman, and Oscar Davis, of Georgia Tech. re ceived nine votes for guard. Caton, lin. ived thre i For the second time this raced the whole Georgia I fall the black and gold of Tennessee I Las ewamoed the title dreams of the I red and black standards of Georgia in the football world.

It is a notable fact that he is the only player who is picked out of position, which is pretty tribute to Caton's work. Perry, the gigantic Floridian, received a splendid complimentary vote. Another spirited contest developed for the extra tackle berth. Six votes were cast for Al Staton, of Georgia Tech Skidmore, of Sewanee, and Joe Bennett, of Georgia.

Staton, who played an end for about a half season, received three votes in that position, while two voted for Skidmore as a guard. Staton thereby won the WHAT A BACKFIELD IS PRESENTED. What a marvellous baekfitid is presented by this team. Harlan reached the zenith of his career of line plunging this year. Barron was probably the fastest and most formidable malfback in the country, while Hale was a team in himself.

Nothing need be said of the work of McMil Still there is hope for the oncoming generation. Of the men selected, McMillin. Harlan, Pew, Day and Al Staton will have finished their collegiate careers at the end of this year. We'll have a fine new crop next year, with Barron, Whelchel and Hale to uphold the dignity of the Hardage's G.M.C. Grid Machine Falls in Battle for Crown first downs straight running in that first quarter.

Davenport had given an exhibition of running that Stamped him the equal of many college backs doing business in the south. His ability to find opening and keep his feet, was gaining yard after yard, till he was crushed and broken and had to be carried off. The battering powerful machine of MoYtun was the victor from the whistle. Captain Head grabbed the yards through team before being brought down. It took only two plays to carry the ball the other 10 yards over the line and the sovereignty of the Georgian's line had been degraded.

The Morgan team lacked tbe brilliant luster of the McMillan and Davenport, but in team work and all around football stood out over the Georgians: the line work was better, the balance of the team was better, and it was no captain of the I fluke that three times they crossed the Hamate, one srnal line of the Geonrinrm. In the the neatest backs tbat ever lead first minrrer the Georgians rarried the the Commodore standards, led two prep I ball to the Morgan shadows of the uudiey neid this alter goal, but there tne defense tightened noon in one of the greatest and bi est fought prep battles ever witnessed in these parts or elsewhere imme Iiiiately.

The black and gold of the Morgan school and the red and black of the Georgian'! was a strong reminder of the great tied battle between the Bulldogs and Commodores, in which the none for a clear title claim was broken by the underestimated strength of the Commodores.

DEFEATS FLORIDA 14 10 Jacksonville. December The University of North Carolina football warriors today triumphed over the heavier University of Florida eleven. The final score. 14 to 10, bespeaks a desperate attempt on tbe part of the Floridians in the last half. Adopting an aerial attack in tbe third period they appeared more on the offensive, made a touchdown and succeeded in rushing the ball to North Carolina's 10 yard line in the third period before they were stopped.

Despite the warm weather there were thrills a plenty for ihe some 7. Mm Tbe Tar Heels overcame a disadvantage in weight of 20 pounds to tbe man by fleetness of foot, and Captain Lowe served as the pivot from which eleven forward passes spread ont to a well trained machine. Two of these passes gave the the victory. Changing about the North Carolinians squirmed through holes in an unexpected Florida line and again they skirted the ends, and as a result North Carolina had far the better of it in the matter of yardage. It was Florida's burden mostly, to hold.

yf Florida's first store came after a few minutes of play when Dixon kicked a goal from placement from mid field. The second ami final came when Dixon tossed a to Carlton for a 20 yard gain. The work of Lowe and Johnson in Carolina's bnckfield featured, while Pomerov bore the brunt of Florida's Offensive efforts. L. S.

Real warriors are going to see Young Stribling and Fearless Ferns when they go into action for the lightweight championship of Georgia at the American Legion's boxing show at the Auditorium on Monday night. Every soldier of the world war now being brought back to health andi strength at Base Hospital 4S out on Peaehtree road. will occupy place of honor on the stage during the titular struggle of tbe little fellows. The other guests of the legion will be members of (Jeorgia Tech's Golden Tornado.

Coach Alexander has been invited to bring his entire varsity squad down to see the fisticuffing and! has accepted. With these veterans of the battlefield and gridiron watching their gloved warfare. Ferns and Stribling need inspiration. Striblinj to lick Ferns as Ferns little to lick Stribling and StriblingT young pugilit nn old one for that was to lick anybody. Stribling remembers that "draw" fight in Macon, when he was morallr defeated, though the judges called the est school boy way to wipe out whatever stain attended that moral defeat and he knows that the way to do it will be to bent Ferns conclusively.

And he has gone about the job of do iug this in his workmanlike way that means that he will be at very top form when he clashes with the Atlantan. Stribling is supremely confident, but he is not one hit more confident, the result of the battle than Ferns. Walk Miller's entry completed his tra iteniav. lie nas ocen oil! all week with the veteran, Edd Hanlon, as his chief sparring partoe Ferns' Plan of Battle. "I haven't been trying to box a said Ferns.

"What I've been doing is developing hitting. I guess maybe Stribling can outbox me but he isn't going to get the chance. This is one time when he will have to fight. Hell have to light every step of the way. too, for you ran put down right now that I'm going to be right on top "I'm planning this sort of battle because I know it's the battle that will win.

When we fought in Macon. Stribling hit me with everything he bad. He didn't feaze me. He's going to. hit me a lot Monday, but you can bet 1 can take them.

But if I get one solid punch at his jaw. (Stribling is going to drop. He can't hurt me. and I can hurt him. Right there is where I'll win." Indications arc that the biggest boxing crowd of the season will see the cness place and the Hex.

At the banquet there was a spirit of football nhibited that had made the university eleven a dangerous foe during the past year, and the keynote seemed to be "Watch the Bluebirds" for the next year or so.

Coach Hager made a short talk on the boys tbat he had been with duriug year, i.aptain wnru also made a talk on the success of the team, aptain elect Murray outlined a few anu spoKe oi tne banquet when it was aonounoced that only three men of the 1921 eleven will not return next year.

December Fenn State college's football team came out of the east and defeated the University of Washington eleven, 21 to 7, in University stadium here today.

Score by periods Penn State I Pel from Killingei Stat had scored three touchdowns and a total score of 21 points and the third period was well advanced that Washington took the actual offensive. On the kickoff after Penn's last goal, Captain "Kay Eckinann. playing his final game for the Purple and Gold, received and breaking straight through the center of the advancing Penn State line, carried the ball to midfield on a long straight run that brought the spectators to their feet with a roar.

The Sundodgers hod their blood up and smashed irresistibly in the goals, four and five yards, at a time, nearly every play was through the line. Eckmann. who carried the ball repeatedly, took it over from the one yard line for Washington's only touchdown. Scored Early. Penn State scored early in the first period.

BY CLIFF WHEATLEY From the mass of business transacted during Its annual convention at the Piedmont hotel, five cardinal features stand out as results of the Southern Intercollegiate conference meeting which was brought to a close last night. These things are: Three year limit on participation in varsity sports. Faculty control of and responsibility for all athletics. Eligibility disagreements referred to committee when all other methods fall.

Adoption of a strict migratory rule. Scholastic requirements far above the standard now in force. Three year limit on playing is a distinct improvement on the old S. I. A.

The following institutions id the south shall be considered for conference purposes University of Carolina, George Washington university, Georgetown, Catholic university, Tulane. Louisiana State university. University of Florida, Van derbilt university, Johns Hopkins, Furnian university, and tha University of Mississippi." Furman and the University of ssippi were not included in the orig inal list drafted by the committee, but were added when discussion started on the floor. President Sanford and other prominent figures in the conference rallied to the support ot Furman in not being listed as a coU leg" for conference purposes, but Dr.
