NOT ALL WEST IN
FOOTBALLSCRAPPING
East Has Won Some Games in
IntersectiOnal Tits
Sport Gossip.
ny WILLIAM n. HANNA.

The West has been mauling the East
right heartlessly in football this fall and
undoubtedly has shown us of the effete
sector something. Notre Dame smoth-
cred the Army and walloped Rutgers
full sore; Chicago tore some hair off
the Tigers back and escaped I'M
scratched: Detroit beat both Springfield
and Boston College; Nebra ska drifted in
from the Occident all unheraIded and
twisted the tail of the Pittsburgh PAN
ther, rated by our best gridiron zoolo-
gists as high up among the Eastern
elite
Which is right harsh humping and
leaves the cls-Allegheny set somewhat {
bruised and bewildered and shorn of
some prestige: yet the effete battIers
have not been entirely idle in banding
out international wallops. Lest we forget
some motions one afternoon and beat
Western Reserve. 10 to 0; the Navy
beat the same team. SO to o; Boston
College swatted Marietta; Harvard
threw the harpoon into Indiana; the
Army trimmed Wabash neatly; Pitt
took Cincinnati us measure and Syra-
cuse hadn't much trouble beating Ohio
University.
Considering, however. the quality of
Eastern opponents beaten by Western
teams. candor compels the admission
that that section has had slightly the
better Of the arbitrament.
When the hard Harvard schedule was
made uD last winter several huskies who
didn't return, Tolbert among them, were
expected to return. They didn't. though
and the result was a green line which
one season did not develop to the desired
proficiency Another thing is that the
backfield has not got together" There
you have two reasons why the Crimson
has had rocky going this fall.
George Foster Sanford, Rutgers coach
says the officiating on Election Day was
the best he has seen In a long time, and
Sandy's team was drubbed good and
proper that day. His attitude toward
officials is, for a coach, almost unique
The abuse. the fault finding and oft
times refusal to be accepted again by
this or that particular college TO which
football officials are treated by coaches
is outrageous. is a disgrace to the game
and Is q matter requiring prompt and
firm action by those who have its well
fare at heart and would put sportsman
ship uppermost. Some of these coaches
are as bad at heart as the baseball fan
who throws pop bottles at an umpire.
Notre Dame against Rutgers played
as If bit tagged and over-footballed
The Hoosiers didn't play as hard as
against West Point. They used a for
ward pass which was more OF liner
than the loop fling used against the
Army. They were in motion often on
their shift play and were penalized
often. It looked to the writer as If the
rule was violated when they made their
second touchdown, though the officials
did not think so. Likely as not some
day the rules committee will legislate
against all kinds of shifts.
