STHE ATLANTA CONSTITUTIONS VOL. No. 169. Louisiana teams lr University of Mississippi lat he has done In past seasons an.l the belief that he la equally as good possibly better this year. It Is possible that others from these teams deserve places, and the fact that their names are not Included Is due rather to a failure to consider them, under the circumstances, than to a matter of preference.

MORGAN AT CENTER A POWERFUL MAN. Bet Inning center. I believe Moreen has the call by a good margin. He (a big and powerful and has Just fin ietied his third season on the team, notwithstanding his huge bulk, he Is very shifty, both on offense and defense. He was frequently down under punts with his ends, and his play on the defense, when he waa stationed at tackle, waa superb.

In addition to Morgan there were several other rood men working at the pivotal position. Adams, a veteran on the University of Mississippi team; Loe of Tech. and Covington, of Georgia, are all brilliant performers. Had the jacket some twenty more pounds la weight he would give any opponent a good day's work to take of him. AND PEACOCK SET GUARD In selecting guards more difficulty Is encountered than at any other position.

This does not mean to say that bat considered, the best to be had. It la true that Stoney worked at. center the greater pevrt of the past season, but guard Is his natural position, and the shift was made for the good of team development, and had he been allowed to remain at guard he would have had the edge on any other player. Peacock at the other guard has year. He has worked a part of the time at tackle and the change appears to have Improved his play to a considerable extent.

November The west tri ampned over the east In the principal later scholastic football game of the season toda; when the Oak Park High school, of Chicago, defeated Everett High school 11 to 14. Strong offensive work, combined with inability of the Everett team to fathom a triple pass play, gave the cnical the game The forward successfully any elr money.

"Behind the bat ergency that There are several others whose work was notable. Among these are Mc Callum, of Sewanee; Lucas, of Georgia; Daves, of underpin Means, of Tech, and Thlgpcn, of Auburn. The first two named have plenty of weight, but are rather Lacking in ginger. Daves and Means are both shifty, active men, but are rather light for the position. Thlgpen should profit by the year's experience.

TOM BOWN AND BARKER CLASS OF THE TACKLES. At tackles Tom Brown, of Vander bllt. sad Barker, of Mississippi, have been chosen without much hesitation, although competition Is stronger here tthan at the position immediately flanking the snapper back. The Vanderbllt lineman is said tq be the peer of any man who has ever filled that position for the Commodore squad. He la big and rangy and tough as scrap iron.

He has just finished his third year on the team and Is said to have developed as much aa pffense, his defensive play Is really In the secondary defense and Is credited with making almost half of the tackles for his team. Barker Is given the place at the other tackle over a list of good ones. He has played three years with "Ola Miss" and was really an experienced man before he entered college, having played two years under excelle it coaching in "prep" He is powerfully built, being especially suited tor a tackle position. He has generally been able to look after his man on offensive plays on his side of the line, and when it comes to defensive hea 1 He af very definite idea of his "mission and sets about the performance of the same in no uncertain way. In addition to these two there are several other good ones who might be selected with very little loss, of this list Lamb, of Auburn; Shlpp, of Vanderbllt.

and Henderson, of Georgia, are the best. Lamb has all the requirements of the position, but is a little shv of MM chosen In shifty and snappy as any player tc be found at the position in this sec. tlon. Add to that an excellent tight oulk of the catching. and do it well, and Graham and Reynolds.
