WESTERN TEAMS
ROLL UP BIG SCORES
Football Elevens Are Faster
Than the Best of Those
Of the East

Football scores are entertaining play
things to juggle with. but are deceitful
for purposes of useful comparison.
Yet once In a while they furnish ma
terial for discussion, If one is careful
not TO bet on the results of the taDu-
latiOns. For some reason the leading
Western teams are developing much
faster and greater scoring power than
the best elevens Of the East and there
must be one OF two causes. Either
the minor teams which furnish the
practice games are weaker in the Mid
die West than those of the same class
In the East. or else the claims of the
Western coaches that they have
achieved a faster and more formidable
school Of football must be listened to
with respect Up TO a week ago Penn
sylvania led the Eastern teams IN scor-
ing records, with a total of 259 points;
Yale, in second place with 21S points;
Princeton, having made 176 points and
Harvard only 92
In the West, Minnesota led with a
total OF 4G1 points, Chicago was second
with 357, and Illinois third with 1886.
These three teams. however, had played
several games before the real season
began. but Michigan. which had played
only four games up TO that time. had
rolled up "a total Of 226 points, or an
average of sc points a game.
II Is an obvious conclusion that
while the leading elevens OF the Mid
die West are playing football of a
quality fully up to the niost formida-
bic standard Of the Eas., the game has
not developed with corresponding sue
cess among the smaller institutions.
and time must ssread the missionary
movement to heaven the whole lump.
as has happened in the East
Nothing i8 more interesting in foot
hall annal8 than the extraordinary
swiftnessi with which the science or
the game has pervaded the whole East,
so tlNt no hrst-class eleven can now
coYat on a practice" game, or feel
sX.e that it will not be scored against
az almost any time in it's preliminary
schedule. The big fellows" in the
Middle West are spreading the football
gospel abroad in grand style. but they
are still Handicapped for lack OF con-
sistent opposition in the preparatory
season. such as win furnish as good
play as they can get from their own
''scrubs."-From the Illustrated Sport
ing News.
