The next selections were made by John W. Heisman, who was as good a judge of football men as the country ever produced."https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1842&dat=19680426&id=MxQsAAAAIBAJ&pg=4713,3782658&hl=en Ronnie Thomas One Way To Break The Monotony Times Daily April 26, 1968Atlanta Constitution November 29, 1903 All-Southern Eleven of 1903 Powerful, and Fleet of Foot https://www.newspapers.com/clip/1924578/the_atlanta_constitution/ 11 March 5, 2015 Newspapers.com So did Nash Buckingham, former captain of the Tennessee Volunteers football team.
