the "all comers'' champion team ON the
Saturday after Thanksgiving.
The eastern league should include every
state east of Ohio, including Maryland.
In this division would be Cornell, Co
lumbia, Lafayette, Lehigh, Georgetown,
Brown, Amherst, Dartmouth, Williams,
Boston Polytechnic and any Others.
The central league should include all
states west of Pennsylvania and east OF
the Mississippi. Some great teams would
be developed in Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Ohio and Indiana.
The southern league should include all
states south of the Ohio river.
The western league should i1clude all
states west of the Mississippi.
Now, TO "get together" Let each state
have its championship settled the last Sat
urday in October, or, If the number OF
states in the league be too great, have 1t
settled the third Saturday in October.
Allow circumstances to govern each case.
The one result TO be reached would be to
have all championships of the different
leagues settled by the first Saturday In No
vember. The interchampionships would
then be played.
On the second saturday,of November,
the day of the Yale Princeton and Har-
ward. Pennsylvania games, the west-south
and central-east games should be played
On the third Saturday, the day of the
final game between the "big four" the
winners from the west-south wsuld play
tho winners Of the central-east.
Then, either on Thanksgiving day or
the Saturday following, the game for the
championship OF the country should be
played. II this result Is brought about, 1t
win be marvellous triumph for the broad
and fair mindedness of American college
men and a source Of great delight and In
terest TO hundreds of thousands who love
what is best in pure sport. The expenses
would more than be cleared in each game.
Another branch of football that is quite
as important In its way should have bet
ter organization. fhe teams of the athletic
clubs are too important to be in the unsat-
isfactory state in which they are. Boston,
Crescent, Orange, New York, Columbia
and any other eastern teams available
should form an eastern league, and Chica-
go, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Allegheny and
any others available in the west should
form q western league. The meeting of
the champions Of these two leagues on
Thanksgiving day would soon grow to be
m event of national Importance. Burr

is not favorable TO long engagements. IL
