Page Four THE DAILY TAB HEEL Thursday, November 28, 1929 ALL-TIME TEAM Many Former Football Stars Aid Sports yriter in Selecting All-University Team. (Continued from first page) think his major work was in '28. I would place our own Ray Far- ris at left guard and I think his mate on the other side is just as good, and I name 'Bear' Col lier my other guard position." The opinion. of the majority of the votes concurs with his. . On . the second team we have placed Louis Guion of '94, and Grady Pritchard '20, '21, '22. Poindex ter, Bobbins, Cronartie, Gard ner and Bennett are all prom inent, names in a review of the history of this position here at the University. In choosing our flankmen we have had more' than a difficult time. Our research has dated back as far as the famous Gibbs and Biggs combination of 1892 and the following is our answer to this problem. Four men of the number of nominees stand out more or less in a class to themselves: Edwin Gregory, Roy Homewood, "Slip" Brown and "Suey" Cochran. Home wood and Brown have been giv en our vote for the first team, and Gregory and Cochran have been placed on the second team. Both Homewood and Brown were larere m size : they were fast and shifty on their feet and terrific tacklers. Both excelled in covering punts. Gregory, '95, '96, '98, has been chosen as cap tain of the second mythical team Nat Townsend, Albert Cox, Odell Sapp, Casey Morris, Bob Winston, and Willy Merritt were mentioned. One great tackle stands out above all the others that have worn the blue and white, Gra ham Ramsay, '13, '14, '15, '16 Tommy Campbell of Harvard once said that Ramsay was the greatest 'tackle that he had ever seen on the gridiron. He was a smart football player, holding his position just long enough to protect his kicker, and then often " beating the ends sdown the field and making the tackle; no end and halfback could boxyRamsay. On the other side of the line we have chosen "Romy" Story. On the second team 'we have signed up Beemas Harrell, '19, '20 and Pierce Matthews. George Rob inson of '24 and '25 deserve hon orable mention. For the quarterback position the competition has been par- ticularly keen. Four great quar- terbacks stand out pre-eminently for recognition: "Runt" Lowe, '16, '21, Jacocks, '03, Louis Graves, '00, '01, '02, and Monk McDonald, '22, '23. Because he could do all.the things the others could do, and could also do some things which they couldn't do, "Runt" Lowe has been chosen as quarterback and captain of - our 1929 selection. On the sec ond team we have placed Monk McDonald. Foy Roberson, '04, '05, deserves" honorable mention. A fast stepping group oiMialf backs have been nominated: "Red" Johnson," George Ste - phens, Hunter Carpenter, Her man Koehler, Jim Magner, Strud Nash," Dave Tayloe, Vernon Howell and EmmettkUnderwood have all been brilliant in their own way. However, we have chosen "Red" Johnson for one of the halves, chiefly because of bis great offensive driving pow er ; the other half goes to .Hunter Carpenter.' On the second team we have placed Jim Magner and George Stephens. The fullback position belongs without a doubt to Roy Aber nethy of 1905, the greatest line plunger and defensive man that has ever gone out from the Uni versity, Bill Folger of 1916, be , cause of his great open field run ning, gets our vote for the sec ond team. "Pot" " Graves of 1898, '99, '00, '01 entered West Point after leaving Carolina and his record there rivals that of Roy Abernethy. Earl Holt, '00, and Arthur Belden, '96, ,'97, both receive honorable mention. 1st Team Pos. 2nd Team Homewood - Cochran - L. E. Ramsay ...... Harrell L. T. Farris - ...... Guion L. G. Tandy Blount C.
