The All-Southern eleven representing the consensus of newspapers as published in
Fuzzy Woodruff's A History of Southern Football 1890-1928 included:
Bob Blake, end for Vanderbilt, unanimous selection, was a
lawyer and
Rhodes Scholar.[2] Blake made the drop kick to beat
Carlisle, "the crowning feat of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association season."[3][4] He was selected for the Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869-1919 era.[5]
Dan Blake, halfback for Vanderbilt, unanimous selection, brother of Bob. He later coached.
Lob Brown, end for Georgia Tech, captain-elect who helped Tech to its first defeat over
Auburn.[6]
Honus Craig, halfback for Vanderbilt,
Dan McGugin once called him the South's greatest athlete and Vanderbilt's greatest halfback.[4] One report says "When Craig was confronted with the above formidable title yesterday by a reporter whose business it is to know such things, he blushed like a girl and tried to show why Dan McGugin's judgment is not always to be trusted."[4] In Craig's opinion, Bob Blake was the South's greatest player.[4]
Owsley Manier, fullback for Vanderbilt, unanimous selection, a "great plunging back,"[2] selected third-team All-America by
Walter Camp. Manier scored five touchdowns against
Alabama in a 78-0 victory and again ran for five touchdowns over
Georgia Tech (37-6) in
Atlanta.[10] Manier was later an assistant coach and practicing physician.
