Marc Antony said Something.

Concerning reproachful epistles
for football results we skidded on.
with entire forgetfulness for any
that were correctly called.)
The evil that men do lives after
them"
The good is submerged with their
dust.
No one remembers the winning hit
But only the infield bust.
The fame of a winning run will last
As long as a match will burn;
But the cove who fumbles a twist
ing punt
Is good for a ten-year turn.
The gag is old as the dope is old.
Carved on a Caradoc brick;
Adam fell-and the headlines came
To move with an endless kick
The world moves on in the same
old way,
Singing the same old song
It's tough to know when a cove
was right,
But great to know he was wrong"

'19. Leading Eastern football
writer's have said that Notre Dame
was superior to any team in the
East. Iowa beat Notre Dame and
then won the Western Conference
championship. II that rdoesn't lift
Iowa to the top, just what is the
answer"
The answer is that It gives Iowa
a corking argument for a cham
pionship claim, which is the best
any football team can look forward
to in these stirring times.
Army and Navy.
Taking the matter of football
form, football speed and football
power into consideration the Navy
sho I'D beat the Army by something
like 10 points.
But in this modern game. where
the tide of battle can shift with
such shocking suddenness, predic-
tons get to be little better than
gussses where no one can tell what
even a play will bring forth. We
saS the Navy tackle Princeton, sr.1
We, saw the Armv lose to Yale. The
NAVY line from end to send seemed
to be stronger and the Navy backs

lence-
The Navy attack through late
years has had not only more power.
but more deception than the Army
drive. and. unless this condition is
materially changed in the closing
contest, the Navy ought to win.
West Points only chance is a
well-conceived, well-executed run
ming game of variety and deception
hooked to the same type OF passing
game that West Point used against
Yale. The Cadets will make no
ground to speak of through the
Navy line, but IL they can ever shake
French loose he will be a hard
bird to nail.
French, a year ago, looked to be
brilliant back against Notre Dame.
Against the Navy he could never

kaoked to be a star this fall against
yale. 1t remains to be seen whether
or not the Navy can smother this
elusive Splinter for the second time
in succession. On this coming occa-
sion French will be protected by a
J better line than he worked back Of
a year ago. but even with French

doesn't look up to the standard Of
Barchet. Koehler. Noyes. Cruise,
Conroy and Hamilton.
Western Supremacy.
l The supremacy of Western foot

Notre Dame has a great line. as

Ah beyond Iowa there is Cali
