II is generally thought among
wise Northwestern football
men that the belief that East.
ern football was superior to
Western football was oissemin-
ated by Eastern college men
who drlfted out this way and
who could see no great good in
the Western players. The
Fastener was not disposed to
boost the Western player and
particularly the Northwestern
player.
While they naturally belittled
the Northwestern players as
teams they could not say that
the Northwest was deficient in
football material There we're too
many concrete examples to offer
in rebuttal
Practically every Northwest
ern boy who has gone East
with prep or hlbh school train
ing and who turned out for the
team has made good. Oregon
has furnished a score OF noted
players to the East. Washing
ton has also furnished its
quota.
