New York. Nov. 3e.-The close Of
the eastern college, football season
fipds the task Of selecting . cham
pionship eleven more complicated
than usual. i
In past years It has frequently
been the case that one varsity team,
With . remarkable record ut III
hack, stood out 20 prominently that
1t was the choice tor titular hnnora
among = large majority Of the grid
iron experts. Such q situation
does not exist ct the termination
Of the 1880 play. -ei 2
Six college or university elevena
passed through the season without
defeat, but in the case Of i've OF
these teams the record Vas marred
By one or more tie games. Boston
college is the only one which has
an absolutely clean slate to date,
and that team still has one game to
play, being scheduled to meet the
strong Holy Cross eleven next Sat-
urday.
Harvard, Princeton, Pittsburgh,
Penn State and Stevens all closed
their schedule indicated, but the
tie contest between Princeton and
Harvard left the question Of su-
premacy unsolved. Penn State
played tie games with Pittsburgh
and Lehigh; Pittsburgh was tied
by Syracuse and Penn State. while
Middlebury held Stevens to score
less tie.
An Analysis of the records Of the
various college eleyens of the east
develops some interesting and con-
fusing data. The West Point cadet
team, although defeated by the
Navy and Notre Dame. managed to
roll up an aggregating score Of 81
points, which so far as scoring il
concerned gives the Army first
place in the section totals. Viii.
llama, with Benny Boynton, the
star individual scorer Of the east
is next in line with a total Of 81
points. although defeated in thre<
out Of the eight games played.
From a defensive standpoint Bos
ton college appears to hold thu
palm. as Coach Cavanavgh's grid
iron pupils held their opponents t
a total Of is points, Of which Yalt
made IL and Marietta the remain
