Much talk relative to series of
championship games between eastern
and western elevens has been INDUCED
in of late. This subject is given new
lease of life annually. 1t is time for
something more than specimens of hot
air." Eastern colleges are inclined to
object to the scheme because 1t would
entail the playing of at least five big
games in a season instead of the GUS
tomary three. The westerners, how
ever. are always sure of playing five
important contests and have no objec-
lions to adding two more to their list.
The need of an east versus west series
has long been felt. There have been
many years when judgment on form as
to the national champions was an i'm
possibility. Several western colleges
have at various times sent out elevens
