The writer. as a result of personal
observation. gained in the east, the
south and the middle west in the sea-
son of 1920, ranks the gridiron leaders
as follows:
EAST-PrincetOn.
MIDDLE WESI-Ohio state.
SOUTH-G.eorgin Tech.
FAR WEST-CaiifOrnia.
Princeton wins the eastern title be-
cause of cumulative excellence in play
throughout the season.. The outfit,
when fully groomed. presented no
marked flaws in any department of
play: indeed, the entire eleven showed
smoothness. skill and power in all
branches. The Tigers came through
a difficult schedule, defeating Swarth-
more. University of Maryland. Wash
ington and Lee Navy, West Virginia
and Yale. They played better foot
ball than Harvard in their 1414 game.
and, basing judgment upon the reia-
tive showing of Nassau and Harvard
against Yale. there can be no hesita
ticn in awarding supremacy to Prince
ton.
Boston College Formidable.
Boston College has played superb
foot ball, but inasmuch as Yale was
able to jam through BoSton'S line for
two touchdowns-indicat that Bos-
tons defense was greatly inferior to
her attack-there is no reason for
placing her al Princeton's side
Other unbeaten teams of the east
were Harvard, Pennsylvania State
Pittsburgh and Stevens. Harvard did
what she wished to do in her season
except beat Princeton; but her sched-
ule did not contain so many hard
games as did Pittsburgh's or Penn
sylvania States. Still the only fair
thing to do will be to rank Harvard
and Pittsburgh on a line with Boston
College. and Pennsylvania State third,
played through fine season in her
class. but did not defeat teams quail
ifed to give her high ranking.
Palm to Georgia Tech.
In the south the writer has no hest
taton in awarding the palm to
Georgia Tech-one of the strongest
in order. Wake Forest, Davidson.
Oglethorpe, Vanderbilt. Centre. Glenn
son, Georgetown and Auburn. Pitts
burgh beat Tech by d 10-to-3 score
in a game which found the two
eleyens about evenly matched.
Virginia Military Institute has a
claim to dispute this ranking, and
most certainly leads the south At
lantic division. But on the whole her
schedule was not so arduous as Techs,
and Furthermore men who have Of
ficiated in games played by the two
teams advise me that Tech would in
all probability have beaten V. NJ. /.
had the two outfits met. Besides
these two eIevens the outstanding
teams of the south were Centre, which
took a good while to recover from her
Harvard trip. and Auburn.
