Composite eleven

The composite eleven posted by H. J. Stegeman, coach at the University of Georgia, for Spalding's Football Guide included:

  • Alf Adams, end for Vanderbilt, also a basketball star and later an attorney.
  • Pete Bonner, guard for Auburn, selected for various all-time Auburn teams.
  • Josh Cody, tackle for Vanderbilt, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1970, only three-time All-American in Vanderbilt football history. He was selected for the Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869-1919 era. Third-team Camp All-American. Later a prominent football coach at many institutions.

  • Judy Harlan, fullback for Georgia Tech, came into his own upon returning to Tech for the 1919 season, "the line plunger almost unfailingly good for "must" yardage to keep a drive rolling."

  • Bo McMillin, quarterback for Centre, the second Southern player selected first-team All-American by Walter Camp, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951.
