The 1922 College Football All-Southern Team consists of college football players chosen by various organizations and writers for College Football All-Southern Teams for the 1922 Southern Conference football season. It was the first season of the Southern Conference. Vanderbilt end Lynn Bomar and Georgia Tech running back Red Barron were the only two unanimous choices of a composite of selectors. Walter Camp picked no Southerners for his first-team All-American, but picked Bomar and Barron for his second team. Both Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech posted undefeated conference records and could claim championships. Vanderbilt was the only school to claim a championship and remain undefeated against all opponents. It posted the nation's number one defense as measured by points against per game and was retroactively selected for a national championship by selector Clyde Berryman. Bomar helped Vanderbilt to a scoreless tie with the Michigan Wolverines in the inaugural game at Dudley Field. Alabama also upset Penn 9–7. ==Composite eleven== The composite All-Southern eleven compiled from twenty four coaches and sporting editors of the South each of whom received trophies from the ''Atlanta Journal'' included: *Red Barron, halfback for Georgia Tech, unanimous selection, second-team Camp All-American. Barron led Tech to a 14–6 defeat over one of Auburn's greatest teams.〔cf. 〕 He was also an All-Southern baseball player who played professionally with the Boston Braves; and later coached high school football. *Joe Bennett, tackle for Georgia, later a Coca Cola executive. "Prior to the 1960s, Bennett is likely Georgia's most outstanding tackle." Both he and Whelchel were notorious kick blockers. *Lynn Bomar, end for Vanderbilt, unanimous selection, second-team Camp All-American. He played with the New York Giants in their inaugural season and was later warden of Tennessee State Prison. Inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1956. *Herb Covington, quarterback for Centre, known as "The Mayfield Flash", had to replace Bo McMillin and kicked a record six straight drop-kicked field goals in a game against Louisville. *Oscar Davis, guard for Georgia Tech, also selected All-American by Lawrence Perry and Billy Evans. *John Fletcher, fullback for Georgia, provided much of the team's offense. An account of the game against Tennessee the next season says "he rammed the ball almost the entire length of the field on two occasions." *Claire Frye, center for Georgia Tech, had formerly played football as a member of the American Expeditionary Forces. *Red Roberts, end for Centre, last year the fifth southern player selected first-team All-American by Walter Camp. Later coached the Waynesburg Yellow Jackets. *John Shirey, halfback for Auburn, was a member of various all-time Auburn teams. *Albert Staton, tackle for Georgia Tech, is the starting end on the all-time Heisman era team. *Puss Whelchel, guard for Georgia, and the unanimously elected captain from Georgia's strong line of '21. Both he and Bennett were notorious kick blockers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1922 College Football All-Southern Team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
