or so before that Dartmouth defeated
West Virginia to 2. Another way Of
looking at the same situation IS that
while Dartmouth did not permit West
Virginia a touchdown, Pittsburgh had
nine points scored against her by the
mountain boys.
There are two main reasons why COM
parative scores are worthless.
In the FIRST place some football teams
improve faster than others Some gain
their full strength early 10 the season
while others do not. .
The other reason. which Is most inn
portant Is that most coaches begin the
season by pointing their teams toward
one or two important games, usually
late 10 the season. In their efforts "a
reach the maximum power 90 that time
they often play early games with sub
stltutes and do not uncover plays and
formation with which they might win
or pile up big scores.
