their last ditch. In one of the fierce tus- sles, Ref Snyder dropped the ball, but as Wright fell on 1t no harm was done. There was final stand by West Point along their goal line one yard from the chalk mark. The ball was swung back to Douglass, the Navy captain. He drove through the rush line as throughfa gate, and with the entire Army team piled high above him and his comrades cheers ring ing in his ears, he went oyer the line for q touchdowns Lange kicked a goal and the score was to in the Navys favor
 When the ball was again put In play there was artillery duel between Beavers and Jones, in which the siege guns of the latter seemed to have shade the better of 1t.
 The end of the half found the ball on the Armys Z5-yard line
 When the players again appeared, West Point seemed to have become rejuvenated. The spirits of the cadets scared. In the first few rushes the Army swept over the field like the Huns of old. 1t was more or less of continuation of the bunting duel between Beavers and Jones.
 Several times the Navy drove the ball well down into Army territory, only to have it sent out again from Beavers.
 Try as they might, the Army could not get past that fatal line. Several of the men were put out of the race, and so the battle went with the Army graphing to the last but without avail.

RANKING OF THE TEAMS.
>%%<%><>+%>+%t+4..*e<%>%~


 As in all other years, J. w. Heisman has leapt to- the front, and ranked the football teams of the Southern Intercol- legiate Athletic association.
 Heisman, during the late season, coached the team of the Georgia School of Technology, and in spite of the fact that the men he trained went down in defeat before Vanderbilt, Sewanee, Au- burn Clemson and Tennessee; in spite of the fact that the showing of his men was great disappointment to the Att lanta sporting writers. who predicted but two possible defeats; and in spite of the fact that he must know he Is doing an injustice to the other teams of the as sociation, he gives first place in the third rank to the college from which he draws salary.
 While Heisman every season ranks the teams of the association and chooses the All-Southern team, it must not be imagined that he is authorized by the association so to act. 1t Is probable that Heisman has three reason for leap. Ing into prominence; first, a natural de- sire to see himself and his expressions played up;" second, prominence gives him advertisement, and his argument furnishes an excuse for whatever failure he might have scored during season: {: third because of the fact that he Is probably remuneI ated by the newspapers for which he writes.
 Coach Heisman's Ranking.
 Coach Heisman gives first place in the standing to Vanderbilt. The second place he awards to Sewanee. It might be remarked that to do otherwise was a matter of impossibility, whatever his personal desires might have been. ' In the third rank he groups five teams, and lines them up in this style-Tech, Clemson, Auburn, Tennessee and Ala bama.
 He gives Louisiana eighth place; Geor- gia, ninth, Mississippi, tenth; A. & M. of Mississippi, eleventh, and Mercer, twelfth. That the above alignment is ridiculous is obvious from the fact that he places Auburn and Tennessee below Tech, In spite of the fact that both of these in- stitutions scored a signal triumph over his Blacksmiths.
 Inasmuch as Heisman has so honored the Tech, his team, 1t Is interesting to review the work of that institution. In the beginning of the season Heisman pre- dicted great things for the Tech The Atlanta sporting writers were right be- hind him. The Atlanta Georgian stated that Tech would not suffer but two de=

Ranking the Teams.

While 1t is known that the percentage basis Is seldom used in football, 1t some- times proves an excellent index into the merits and demerits of a situation, espe- cially when the teams concerned have confined the major portion of their oper- ations to a class including each other
 The writer, therefore, ranking the teams, places Vanderbilt and Sewanee first and second, respectively and the other teams are indicated in the percenl- agobe table above.
 While this ranking is open to criticism and while 1t possesses flaws. no doubt, it Is submitted with the certain belief that 1t will appeal to the majority more for cibly and reasonably than the Heisman ranking.
 might attack the position awarded Ala bama above, it is certain that no man can put the Tech first.
 Barring the Tech-Tennesse dispute, Ala bama played as many games in the mid dle class did the Tech. Outside the middle class, both teams played Sewanee and both were beaten. In addition, Ala bama played and defeated the strong Louisiana team, which Helsman ranks higher than Georgia, the only team of the middle class from which his team won.
 There other points that favor Ala bama to the Teach. Barring the Van derbilt game, which Tech lost overwhelm- ingly, as a matter of course, every other struggle in which Tech figured occurred in Atlanta, Techs home city. On the other hand Alabama played games in Birmingham Mobile. Montgomery and Columbus, Miss.

goal. The 'sMiddes'' looked much lighter than the Army men but more stringy and active.
 The two teams deployed over the field in battle formation. Here was the crescendo of months of effort, the long looked for time having arrived. For few seconds the great crowd was silent as Beavers backed away from the line for the opening kick at the ball. There was cheer as he ran forward to the pigskin. sending it high over the heads of the Navy line Then for time the gray turf was dotted with flying groups of skirmish CTS The ball was brought to the Is yards line where Douglass ripped 1t back into midfield With hne kick Here the two teams buckled to- gether like game cocks, with both sides of the field cheering in wild chorus It was an intense, roaring scene, where scrimmages of blue and gray were piled shoulder high. The army could do nothing with the navy line, the lat fer niling in their swift backs in a bunch to meet every charge. For a while there was a bunting duel between Beavers and nes,Aduring which the battle flags swung nladly this way ana that and the roar that went up could he heard far beyond the barriers of the field. On the armys 35 yards line after n long series of punts, the ball fell into the possession of the navy. Here Jones dropped back for punt and the ball went circling over into the army lines and fell into the arms of little Mount ford, the quarterback

How Heisman Stands.

The fact that Tech made such a miser- able showing this season, in spite of the fact that in the beginning that team had such excellent material. would indicate that Hesman is fast deteriorating as d coach of football teams.
 It is barely possible that Heisman can- not teach the game under the new rules The game today is not the game which he understands With the old game Hes- man can make splendid reputation any where, as he did with Auburn. But he ahs never done wonders since the open game figured, and the record of his team this season might be the beginning of the end.
 In the writer's opinion the comparative records Of Alabama and Tech, the first beginning the season with an admitted bunch of green men, and the second with fine aggregation, stamps Dr. J. w.. H. Pollard Alabama's coach, a superior football instructor than J. w. Heisman, hitherto Considered the wizard of the south.
