Princeton Ranks First.

New York, Nov. 20. The football
situation went into a greater Jumblo
last Saturday except that Princeton has
a pretty clear claim to be ranked first.
Championship is too specific a term to
be used In football. for there are ton
many complications and contradictions
and an insuf1iciency OF direct evidence
among teams concerned. Therefore Il
is more fitting to say that Princeton
ranks first or is likely to rank FIRST.
Should the Army defeat the Navy,
which has tied Princeton, the soldiers
must be considered for first place. Like
the Tigers. they have won every game
but one. which WAS a tie. They haven't
beaten rs many good teams as hare
the Nassau folks. but if the end OF tho
season finds them coiIquerors of bosh
Yale and the Navy they will have
proved that they are a pretty good
football team. 1t may be seriously
doubted. too. whether the Tigers could
beat the Army. The Army takes adj
vanfages as well AS Princeton, and
the specter of an offense which Prince
ton has had all year would be smother
ed by the Army defense, The Indians
have been eliminated as 6rst placs
claimants. Their drubbins by SYRIA
cuse put them out Of 1t. Nothing shown
the In and out nature OF football
form more than the Carlisie-Lafa-
yette, acknowledgements and gyras
cuse-Carlisle scores; Lafayette beat
Syracuse. 10 TO G. the Indians beat
Lafayette. 10 to 0. and yet, to show
the utter uselessness Of figures even
SO one sided as to bear some sembianca
to a reliable line, Syracuse
along ana beats fne INDIANS.
