In Craig's opinion, Bob Blake was the South's greatest player. Puss Derrick, guard and captain for Clemson. John de Saulles sums up Derrick's play in 1905; he "is a veteran player who, by steady improvement has put himself in the first rank of linesmen. He was the mainstay of the Clemson season and no other Southern player could so satisfactorily fill this important position; hence, to balance the team and utilize the best of the material available, he is shifted from center to guard." Ed Hamilton, end for Vanderbilt, coached Vanderbilt basketball in 1903–1904 and 1908–1909 Frank Jones, tackle for Auburn, captain-elect for both football and basketball. Frank Kyle, quarterback for Vanderbilt, once head coach at Ole Miss. Owsley Manier, fullback for Vanderbilt, a "great plunging back."https://books.google.com/books?id=e8s2AQAAMAAJ&q=edgerton&pg=PA328 Vanderbilt–A University of the New South Henry Jay Case 327 Outing 1914 64 Google books Robert C.
