The idea of an eastern football con
ference is a good one.
Yale. Princeton, Harvard and about
seven other prominent colleges would
form the new conference under a plan
proposed by some of the leading foot
ball coaches in the east.
Brought in close relationship, the
same code of rules would govern all
conference games although members
could go outside for opponents. The
intense rivalry between Yale, Prince
ton and Harvard would remain un-
broken, but the chief benefit Of the
proposed conference would be the in
fluence brought to bear on smaller in
%stitutions.
The western conference regulations
serve as a model for most of the col
leges throughout the middle west. An
eastern conference would certainly
have the same powerful influence.
Football is growing so fast that it
is only a question of time when a CEN
trail administrative body like the pro-
posed eastern conference will, be an
absolute necessity. The game is now
on its highest plane. Numerous re-
forms have brought marked changes,
but there's still room for improve
ment.
Ia the. mad scramble to assemble
winning teams there still exists iii
some quarters a tendency to take q
short cut to fame. Fortunately for
the good Of. the sport the day of the
tramp athlete is about over. But
husky young men are still lured to COL
leges and the brand of knowledge
handed out isn't usually the main at
traction.
In the. east this practice would soon
he stamped out with q sharp-eyed cen
trail body on the job. The football sue
cess of a little college is never com
plete until a game is scheduled with
Yale. Princeton or Harvard. With
most of the great institutions formed
In a conference the ambition of the
little institution could never be real,
Izad unless all conference regulations
were strictly observed.
Another angle to an Eastern con.
freence would be the final settling oil
football supremacy. At the end of ev,
ery season there's 4 spirited pastlmt
bf pickinc the t'best teams that car
never be brought together except or
paper.
Yea bo! What an attraction to havt
the winners of the eastern and western
conferences clashing for the football
championship of the United States
Only drawback to this plan would be
lack Of seating capacity.
Can you imagine how many people
Princeton and Chicago would draw il
the two great colleges ever clashed fol-
the championship?

WAS TOUGH DAY
FOR BULLDOGS,
HERE AND YALE
Sturdy EIevers Play 2 Games
on Same Morning
for Title.

II is seldom that a team plays two
football games in one morning to de-
eide n championship. 1t is a stalwart
eleven which can stand the gruelling
scrimmage up and down the gridiren
where savage tackles rack even the
sturdiest, and muscles and bones are
strained to the utmost. An eleven
must be in the pink of condition for
one game; il must be Il collection of
super grid warriors to keep the dar-
Der UP through a pair.
The Crackerjacks and the Bulldogs
are two such teams. and ii was an
epochal struggle when they met Sat
urday morning to settle the 1922
championship of the Sixth avenue
gang. Bitter was the rivalry and no
vacant lot in the stronghold of either
branch of the gang would suffice for
martial territory. Neutral ground it
must be, and Park Drive in back of
the deer pens was finally selected.
Ardent supporters Of both were on
the field to cheer, nay more, even to
play, in case their favorite became en-
quilted in a triumphal grid march by
the enemy. 1t was this too enthus-
iastic support which disrupted the
first game. Some member of both

Far from settling the contest, this

Chicago, Nov. 26.-tBy The Asso-
ciated Press. Iowa and Michigan
were left the outstanding claimants OF
the football title in the Western con-
ference by the closing games of the
season yesterday in which Chicago, the
only other contender. was held to q
scoreless tie by Wisconsin.
Iowa ended her season with a 81 to
3 victory over Northwestern while
Michigan was defeating Minnesota IL
to T. In the other games of the day,
Indiana and Purdue tied for last place
by playing each other to a Z to Z tie.
and Ohio defeated Illinois 6 to ).
The question as to whether Chicago
will be allowed to share the title with
Iowa and Michigan is that prob
ably will not be decided until confer
ence authorities have an opportunity
to meet and discuss the question.
Some observers argue that since
Chicago did not lose q game, the Ma
rooms still have a 1000 per cent aver
age in spite of yesterdays tie game
while others say that by failure to de
feat Wisconsin. q twice defeated team
Chicago failed to show the strength
displayed by Michigan, and thereby was
eliminated from the race.

BEST GRID PLAY
BY SOL METZGER.
Copyright, 1922, Sol Metzger.
Rv SOL METZGER


Team has ball, third down, one yard
to gain, opponents 30-yard line, first
quarter, neither side having scored.
Most quarterbacks make the mistake
of using a play just to gain the first
down, a straight line buck. This is a
mistake. Opponents realize that such
a play is to be made and they stiffen
the defense in the line to block it. A
team should here employ its strongest
and best running attack in order to
gain far more than the necessary yard.
The point to bear in mind here is that
it is better to gain from five to 10
yards in such a situation than a mere
first down. The former places you
nearer the opponents goal. and that is
the prime requisite. Figure on the
situation from the standpoint of
whether you prefer a first down on the
opponents 24-yard line to one on the
opponents 30-yard line, and you have
the answer TO the above situation.
