Composite eleven
[edit]
The All-Southern eleven compiled by the Associated Press included:
- Dick Abernathy, end for Vanderbilt. Abernathy began the season with two touchdown catches against Chattanooga in a 20–0 win.[1] He also caught a 38–yard touchdown pass that helped Vanderbilt defeat Colgate 12–7.[2][3] In Dallas, Abernathy blocked a punt that was recovered in the end zone. The resulting touchdown gave the Commodores' a 13–12 win over Texas.[1][2] He was selected first-team All-America by the Central Press Association, billed as the "Real" All-American team[4]
- Bill Banker, halfback for Tulane, second-team UP All American. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1977.
- Clyde Crabtree, quarterback for Florida, third-team All-American. The ambidextrous Crabtree led the "Phantom Four" backfield which led the nation in scoring.
- Raleigh Drennon, guard for Georgia Tech, one of the tacklers of Roy Riegels on his wrong way Rose Bowl run.
- Warner Mizell, halfback for Georgia Tech, second-team All-America.
- Peter Pund, center and captain for Georgia Tech, consensus All-American. Pund was never penalized and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1963. "I sat at Grant Field and saw a magnificent Notre Dame team suddenly recoil before the furious pounding of one man–Pund, center," said legendary coach Knute Rockne. "Nobody could stop him. I counted 20 scoring plays that this man ruined."[5]
- Gerald Snyder, fullback for Maryland, third-team All-American. Snyder started the season expecting to be elected team captain, but had been suspended for off-field behavior by head coach Curley Byrd[6]
- Frank Speer, tackle for Georgia Tech, first-team AP All-American. He was later a professional wrestler.
- Jess Tinsley, tackle for LSU, cousin of Gaynell Tinsley. He played in the NFL for the Chicago Cardinals.
- Dale Van Sickel, end for Florida. He was his school's first All-American, and was later a Hollywood stuntman.
- Fred Vaughan, tackle for NC State. One account reads "Vaughan is noted for his consistent playing week after week. He always is depended on and never fails to play his usual steady game. He is the main gun in the State line."[7]
