M'GOWAN AND DUNN PICK ALL-STAR TEAM (Continued from Page One) At center we would place Rogers of the Seniors. Although he has played some at guard, we think that he with his natural abilities and four years of exper ience would make an ideal center. He is deadly on the defence, and his offence is all that could be desired for a class man Left-guard goes to Slaughter of the Freshies. Slaughter work ed only a while in one game at guard, but that was enough to convince the most skeptical as to his worth as a line man. West moreland of the Juniors gets the call at right guard. Those who have played against him realize that further comment is unnec essary. At tackle positions we should say that Wright and LaMotte 6 stand head and shoulders above US the rest. This Wright is an old head in class football, while La motte with not so much experi ence easily makes up the defici ency by his strength and aggres siveness. No one would dispute the claim of "Red" Farr to right end. He proved the Waterloo of many a touchdownward bound, and his playing was at all times brilliant and sensational. Hiller of the Sophs is given the other end because of his superior play. In the backfield there were plenty of good men, who would have acquitted themselves with great credit on any football eleven, It is indeed a regret table fact that we had in school such valuable men who were not out for varsity. Digressing a little, class football in the past has not fulfilled its mission. It is all very good to stir up class spirit and rivah-y for the posses sion of the coveted cup. But that is not what class football is If You Want College Clothes, Hats, Caps See the United Tailoring & Hat Company 1619 Main St. Next to Grand Teaert ANOIiA 2for25 A N OK A flydw ARROW NiCOLLAR Cluett. Px,at,de & Co.. It... Mi..a intended for. Its fundamental aim is to develop men for the varsity and to inculcate interest in football. In the past how many men from the class teams have gone out for the varsity and stuck the entire season. They are too few to enumerate. Every man who has made his class team ought to feel himself personally obligated to go out and stick for the varsity. This little comment is to be taken in the spirit in which it is given. Now proceeding to the back field: at quarter we would place Wilcox of the Freshmen. In the game against the Sophs he show ed class both as field general and running with the ball, and his defence was a redeeming feature of his team's defeat. Geer is probably a better quarter, but he is given another place in the backfield. Edens and Ellzey of the Seniors seem to be the logical men for the halfbacks. Although Edens officiated at quarterback, we think that he would be of more service at halfback. He is a fast, aggressive man, and fights to the last and is always hard to pull down. He is given the captain cy of the team because of his coolness under fire and experi ence both here and at Wofford. Ellzey, his running mate, is an ideal halfback. He is very fast and uses the stiff arm to a good advantage. He has the old nev er die spirit. At fullback Geer is the pick of the field. Although rather light for his position he could deliver the goods. His greatest asset is his low charge, which combined with h is speed and quick starts makes him a dangerous man at all times. His defense and re turning of punts is of pie order. There are several good men, while not good enough to be giv en a position, who are retained as substitutes. It is an old tru ism in football that a team is no stronger than its substitutes, and these men could well fill the position of any incapacitated by injuries or otherwise. As subs we would name, Green of the Sopl-s, Templeton of the Sophs, Horton of the Juniors, Kerr of the Freshmen and Jeter of the Seniors. This concludes our selection, and we hope that it will meet with the heartiest approval of all. It would be a great bill for this team to p)lay the scrubs on University Field, Christmas Day, for a twenty-five pound turkey. W. B. McGo wan. LeRoy Dunn. P. H.
