GRID CHAMPIONSHIPS
ARE Still DISPUTED
Ohio State Only Eleven that Has
CEnched Title in Any Section.

New York, Nov. 27.-With a few scat
tering Turkey Day games to be played
the football season of 1916 may be con-
sidered as good as over, and with the
curtain practically runs down champion
ships In both East and West remain dis
puted.
In the East Brown and Pittsburgh are
claiming the laurel, with a majority Of
critics favoring Brown as the logical
titleholder because of her victories over
Yale and Harvard. Pittsburgh, with wins
over Pennsylvania and Syracuse Is un-
deniably strong. but unless Pitt meets
Brown the latter team will be handed
the title by the many. Yale stands out
as the sensation of the East among the
major schools. and the Bull Dogs,> with
their battling coach, Tad Jones. are the
talk Of the Atlantic seaboard and the
football world as a whole.
In the West Ohio State has clinched
the Big Nine Conference title, having
gone through the season without de-
feat, but although the Buckeye eleven
has a clear claim to the conference title
sentiment in football circles Ii strong

breaks Of the game. Minnesota was
forced to take an undignified seat in the
Western gridiron spotlight. That one
game ruined the chances of a team of
championship calibre-the greatest Min
nesota has had since the old days.
Other Western teams outside the con-
ferencS-namely Notre Dame. Michigan,
the Michigan Aggies and Nebraska-have
no substantial claims for a title this
year. for none OF these teams have
shown the strength of former years. OF
the "outlawed" quartet Notre Dame was
the strongest. but in losing her game
with the Army this year Notre Dame lost
something of the prestige she held in 1914
and 1915

According to the declarations of

Ever see a tramp wrap himself
in newspapers, ana wonder why?
The answer is simple. Just to
keep warm. Paper being a Mons
conductor, prevents the cold from
entering and prevents the heat
from escaping. Because of its
observation-disclosures the idea was
obtained for a suit of paper to be
worn under the outer garments of
aviators who find it almost impos-
sible in making flights to any alti-
tude to keep warm. The photo
