Big Eastern Teams
Now ShowRespect
For Southerners

Southern football is coming in for
some recognition in the East and West
TINS season, mainly through the efforts
or the University of Virginia and
Washington and Lee.
Nirginia's games against Yale and
Harvard and Washington and Lees
against Indiana and Cornell have COM
manded wholesome respect for elevens
south of the Mason and Dixon line.
The East and West have believed
too long. that they have known every
thing about football. These two
elevens have corrected this impression
or gone "A long ways towards doing
SO.
Therell probably be more Southern
elevens on Eastern schedules next sea-
son. Georgia is planning playing a
Navy game. while Washington and
Lee liz aiming to secure a game with
Princeton and Harvard. Virginia will
probably play Dartmouth a game
next season.
