FOR COAST CHAMPS
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.

w. =. stan correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. -27.-Just one
more chapter remains IN front OF
the last page OF the seasons football
book. In downing Arizonia yester-
day 3S TO 0, Centre College left IL
up to California and Washington
and Jefferson TO put on the final
touches on next Monday in Pasadena.
Centre won as expected and the size

Perhaps on the Coast It might be
regarded as a victory for the East
Geographically. however. Centre is
no more representative OF the East
than Arizonia is a full hedged repre-
sentative OF Coast football.
The Washington and JET
ferson game can be regarded as one
OF the big feature games Of season
tina tsparkles with brilliant contests.
At first the east didn't think so much
OF the selection OF Washington and
Jefferson but when II was learned
that the Presidents were the only
big team that could make the trip.
sentiment changed.
II there is anyone to be surprised
In that game IL must be California
because Earl Neale is taking his
charges to Pasadena with their eyes
opened. Ohio State went out blind
last year and-they saw the light af-
ter rather a painful operation.
Neale has put in most OF his time
developing a defense for the forward
pass which is regarded as Andy
Smiths most formidable weapon.
Neale had some valuable help from
Jack Ward. one of Ohio States best
scouts who saw the game last year
and who turned over his observa-
tions to the Washington and Jeffer-
son coaches.
The Presidents have a worthy
team and they are ft representative
Of the East although some OF the
critics on the Atlantic Coast are in
clined to discount their record be-
cause OF light schedule in compari-
son 10 some that other big Eastern
teams went through.

A left-handed first baseman Is al

IL Is also a very good idea for a

1921.
International games had much to
do with the great popularity at
tanned by the gridiron game.
Evidently the coaches and direc-
tors OF athletics at the various in
stitutions are aware OF that fact.
The schedules Of the leading in

clashes that will enable the critics to
get a good line on the style Of game
used in the different sections OF the
country.

bilt al Nashville. This will also be a
family affair. Dan McGuigan, who
coaches Vanderbilt. is a brother-in-
law OF Yost This game will mark
the opening Of Vanderbilrs new

Gates its new field.
Indiana has arranged a home and
