a. nno 1. and several other scribes as the greatest terminal "find" of the year. Spearman's grasping fingers and sinewy arms tucked away touchdowns against almost every major team of the South durinjr the oast season. He apparently snares em best when they seem the most difficult and has been credited with turninr manv annarent "wild throws' into scoring points.

Fast as a fawn in getting down under punts, Spearman is truly the "wonder man" of LeMoyne's wonder team. SMITH, Quarterback, MORRIS BROWN Hailed by critics as the colored Carideo, Smith is the ideal quarterback. witn plenty of football brains, a talented toe, a sure arm and a sturdy pair of legs. Smith, whose first name is Dycke, kept Morris Brown in the running for the Southern confer ence championship and was one of those select few quarter backs who knew when to "and how to dropkick a field goal when the occasion is appropriate for it. Smith's dropkicks alone were responsible for four of the Wolverines victories.

several of these kicks emanating from points even as far back as the 40 yard line. BANKS, Halfback, BLUEFIELD A Pittsburgh (South Hill High) product. Franklin Banks would make a brilliant and brainy running mate for Smith. Banks is the man who put the "go" into the unbeaten Big Blues. Last year he played halfback and thi3 year served as quarter, but Banks is the kind of a back who can score a touchdown when one is needed.

While directine the destinies of Kemp's Blues, on several occasions when his backs were not Banks took the ball himself and scored. Banks is an excellent ball carrier, brilliant kicker and a superb forward passer. As a senior, he is terminating his greatest year with the Moun taineer sensations. KENDALL, Halfback, KENTUCKY STATE Adjudged the greatest runner, passer and kicker of the season, "Tar zan" Kendall has been one of the great factors in the Thoro breds spirited stampede to the top of the nation's grid pile. Kendall has one of the best shifts in the business, which shiftiness he turned into two touchdowns in five minutes of playing against Wiley.

In addition, his passing arm could iut a bull eye sixty yards away. EDWARDS, Fullback, KENTUCKY STATE A remark able broken field runner, probably the best evader of would STRVRNS. fnter.
