EAST And WEST WILL
Clash ON GRIDIRON

International Games This Year.

Kipling was wrong.

N4PIHE WIS "FOng.
Some years ago he wrote something
about East is East. West is West. and
never the twain shall meet" At that
time it looked as if he was right. The
Eastern colleges were so darned uppish
that they absolutely refused to let their
football players mingIe with the youths
who grabbed on their learning in the
sunset region Of these United States.
But that was some years ago Times
have changed. The East began meet
ing the West three or four years ago.
and since. then there has been a gradual
increase in the gridiron meetings be-
tween the football warriors OF the big
eastern and western universities. This
season there will b. eleven inrersectional
meetings and next year there will be
more.
The time is coming when the football
champion Of the East will play the foot
ball champion Of the West to decide the
championship OF the country. Its a de-
mand that the football enthusiasts have
been making for years. and one that soon
is to be answered. staging a champion
ship football battle would be no greater
task than staging a world series base
bail game
Some football experts. who object to
the scheme. say that the plan cannot
be worked out because no accurate rat
ing can BE- secured.

1t has remained for an Englishman to
Introduce theatrical tactics into the box
