SPTs sPoRTITORIAL
. There's Nc East or Vest!


Coach Jack Wilce doesn't think
because his Buckeye eleven won the
Western Conference title that his
players know all there is to know
about football.
Jack has been down east and
looked over the big eastern teams
just to see what he could see.
When the Ohioans show in Pasa-
dena on New Year Day as repre-
sentatives of that part of the foot
ball world which lies east of the
Rockies they'll undoubtedly show
some new tricks.
game and he knows that they play
despite the sectional ideas hat have
long held forth in the east.
He recognizes the fact that the
California eleven will be well drill
ed in breaking up forward passes
and he's going west with a better
team than the one that finished
ahead in the Big Ten.
There's a lot of praise due a man
like Wilce. He might have reason
ed it out that he had a team good
enough to win title honors and that
it should be good enough to show
up the coasters. But he didn't.
The Californians are coached by
Andy Smith, former University of
Pennsylvania player. He has been
coaching on the coast for several
years but the Bears are his first
champions.
There was a time, perhaps. when
the best football was played in the
eastern neck of the woods.
But like everything else the game
went west and has grown to that
stage of development when it is
just as good as the far East brand.
S~ectionalism has passed. Today
there is no east or west in the grid
iron sport. Football is football,
from the Pacific to the Atlantic and
also in between.
