1917 College Football All-America Team
Official list of the best college football players of 1917 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1917 College Football All-America team consists of American football players selected to the College Football All-America Teams selected by various organizations in 1917. The selections were affected by the First World War. The Walter Camp Football Foundation lists no team in 1917.[1] Camp posted an All-Service team in Collier's Weekly, and other organizations posted All-American teams. Walter Eckersall accidentally picked two players from Tech High School in an attempt to give credence to the first consensus national champion from the south, Georgia Tech.[2] Walker Carpenter and Everett Strupper were the first two players from the Deep South ever selected All-American.[3]
