1910 College Football All-Southern Team


The 1910 College Football All-Southern Team consists of American football players selected to the College Football All-Southern Teams selected by various organizations for the 1910 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. Vanderbilt post the best record in the SIAA, the only blemish on its record a scoreless tie with defending national champion Yale. Auburn also posted an undefeated conference record, but lost to Texas.

Hamilton Fish’s "Harvard Law School All Stars" played three games against different "All-Southern" elevens on December 30, 31, and January 2. The one on the 31st had been scheduled for a prior date but had been rained out. The first of these was a scoreless tie on muddy ground; the second a 5–0 Harvard victory, and the third another scoreless tie.

On December 7 it was announced Fish's team was to play two games against southern teams. On December 28, they would be playing “the pick of Vanderbilt and Suwanee elevens” at Memphis and on the 31st, “the best men from the University of Louisiana and one or two other colleges” at New Orleans. A December 26 wire service article reported that Fielding Yost “may don the moleskin again.” He was coaching a “western all-southern eleven” that was to play Harvard Law School in two days. Joining him from his Michigan squad were Germany Schulz and Andrew W. Smith. The Harvard All Stars made a stop in Cincinnati on their way south. By this time plans had changed and they were to play three games: first a game in Memphis on the 28th, then Michigan–Vanderbilt–Sewanee in Nashville on the 29th, and another in Baton Rouge on their southern tour. The Memphis game on account of rain was then postponed to the 31st.
