"We have reference to Doug Wycoff of Tech who, for three straight years, was practically the unanimous all-Southern football choice, despite the fact that Georgia Tech had very lean years during his period of play at this institution. If Wycoff had been flanked by such a pair of halfbacks as Red Barron and Buck Flowers, or Thomason and Mizell while he was with the Jackets, he would have been an all-American. As it was he had to carry all of the offensive load and on the defense he was a wheelhorse. He was a great punter and passer. If Wycoff was not the best all-around player the South had produced then he was very close to the peak." http://infoweb.newsbank.com/iw-search/we/HistArchive/?p_product=EANX&p_theme=ahnp&p_nbid=V58T58POMTQxMDMwMzM5NC43MTM5MDE6MToxMzoxMzIuMTk4LjUwLjEz&p_action=doc&s_lastnonissuequeryname=7&d_viewref=search&p_queryname=7&p_docnum=10&p_docref=v2:1223BCE5B718A166@EANX-128FF32B80887657@2426737-128A4A7BEB9ED906@9-129012CAE1D1156F@ Famous Footballers January 30, 1932 Times-Picayune Personnel Depth chart The following chart depicts Tech's lineup during the 1925 season with games started at the position shown in parentheses.
