ALL-STATE SELECTION DIFFICULT TO DECIDE Many Men are Considered. Clarke of Carolina Pick of All Critics. The Gamecock in announcing an all-State football eleven did not intentionally wait until the various coaches and sport writers had picked their team, but that fact makes the task easier. Not having witnessed all the games of the State colleges The Game cock accepts in a number of cases the judgment of the professional sportsmen. To an amateur it appears that there has been a wealth of back field material and a dearth of great linesmen and ends. This may be due to the fact that as a rule only experienced men gain places in the backfield while new men are forced into line positions. The team selected by Coach W. Dixon Foster is, in The G a m e cock's opinion, a winner. In place of Phillips of Erskine at fullback Banks of Clemson looks best. Moore of Carolina is as good at guard as McKeown of Presbyterian and for this place itis a tossup. If Moore had play ed as well in all games as against Citadel there would be no hesi tancy for a choice. Clarke of Carolina and Thur ston of Clemson were the only men picked by all coaches whc made selections. Clarke has played sensational ball at end, going down on punts and mak ing frequent and brilliant tackles behind the enemy lines. Many of the enthusiasts are of believe that Beall of Carolina is better at tackle than Taber of Citadel and only his lack of ex perience keeps him out. The lineup of the all-state eleven follows: Thackston.... Clemson ..... LE Potts.........Clemson ......L'I McKeown ....Presbyterian.. LG Gee ..........Clemson .......C Lightsey......Clemson. ..... RC Eich3lberger.. Presbyterian .R'I Clarke........Carolina......RE Ellerbe .......Wofford......QE Bartles........Clemson .....LH Speer .........Furman .....RI Banks ......... Clemson ..... FE For the second team The Game cock submits the selection of J. B. Bell, sport writer of The State, except Osborne should have the place at left half and Mactic at left end: Macfie...Presbyterian. ... .L Hampton . Carolina ..... ..1L Blakely. ...Erskine. ... .. .. LG Smith...... Carolina........ Gilmer..Clemson .......R Taber.....Citadel........R'I Burnett. ..Wofford.......RE Galloway.... Presbyterian .. .Q Osborne..Carolina.......LE B P'ulton....
