Composite eleven
The composite All-Southern eleven formed by the selection of 18 sporting writers culled by the Atlanta Constitution included:
- Enoch Brown, end and captain for Vanderbilt, unanimous selection. Known as "Nuck," he was also a Rhodes Scholar.[1]
- Tom Brown, tackle for Vanderbilt, unanimous selection. He played professional football with the Toledo Maroons and was later a prominent physician of Toledo. "He had no peers in his orthopedic ability and contributed greatly to Toledo medicine."[2]
- Red Harris, fullback for Auburn. One writer describes his featured role in the offense: "Coach Donahue loved the fullback dive and would run the play over and over again before sending the elusive Newell wide on a sweep."[3]
- R. N. MacCallum, guard for Sewanee. MacCallum was later a reverend serving several parishes.
- Bob McWhorter, halfback for Georgia. He was the school's first All-American, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954. Sportswriter Dick Jemison said "When you mention football to an Athens fan its definition is Bob McWhorter, and vice-versa."[4] He was selected for the Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869-1919 era.[5] McWhorter later had a lengthy law career.
- Kirk Newell, halfback and captain for Auburn. Newell gained 1,707 yards that year, 46% of the team's entire offensive output;[6] and 5,800 yards rushing, 350 yards receiving, and 1,200 yards on punt returns for his career.[7]
- David Paddock, quarterback for Georgia. He is the only player in school history to have a petition circulated by the student body requesting that he play for the Bulldogs.[8]
- Boozer Pitts, center for Auburn. He later coached and was once professor of mathematics at Auburn.
- Robbie Robinson, end for Auburn. Robinson is selected at the end position for several all-time Auburn teams.[9]
- Big Thigpen, guard for Auburn, unanimous selection. The Atlanta Constitution claimed he "rated as good as, if not better than, any guard in the south."[10]
- Paul Turner, tackle for Georgia. His defensive work in the rivalry game against Georgia Tech was cited as helping the Bulldogs on the way to a 14–0 victory.[11]
