Death came instantaneously and

August 2. at 1880 o'clock. The
president was a victim OF a stroke OF

Death came to the chief executive

fetal statement issued by physicians.
was apparently due to some brain
eyolvement, probably an apoplexy.
Death Unexpected
The end came so suddenly that
the members of the official party
could not be called. II came after
a day which had been described by
Brigadier General Sawyer, the pres
ident's personal physician, as the
most satisfactory day the president
had had since his illness began. The
physicians in their formal announce
ment OF the end said that during
the day he had been free from dis
comfort and there was every justifi-
cation for anticipating a prompt re-
eoyery."

the death OF Mr.. Harding Vice Pres

 Tn the east Mallory of Yale was an outstanding star. Never a drop kicker or place kicker of prominence, Mall iory led the east in this department of play with six goals from field. Most of them played prominent part in Yale's success.
 Pfann of Cornell and Wilson of Penn state were two other players who were the heroes in practically every game played by their respec- tive teams. On the coast Don Nichols of California was in the same class.
 The brand of football played by the colleges during the 1923 season had a distinct appeal, it featured open play, so much favored by lovers of the game. As result all attend- ance record were broken in every section of the country.

 Then there is California and Andy Smith. Four four successive years smith has coached California to Pa cific coast honors. That California teams rate with the east and west has been conclucively proven in the meetings that have taken place, California holding the edge.
 Five teams, Yale. Cornell, Illinios, Michigan and California have per feet right to initiate their chests and say we are the best ever. Since there is no way Of settling the argument, a draw decision five ways is the only verdict possible.
 The football season has been filled with innumerable upsets. No longer is the outcome of any game cer- tainty under the new rules. The domination of the big colleges is a thing Of the past in football. The smaller schols turn out good teams and with the open play and the un- certainty that goes with it, there is always a chance for the underdog.
 Several of these decided upsets, have kept the championship situa- tion from becoming even more com plicated.
 Had not Notrc Dame been beaten would have given Notre Dame a rat ing with the five unbeaten teams that have been mentioned. In all some of the critics would have gone even stronger and placed Notre Dame at the top of the foot ball world. The defeat of Notre Dame was unexpected, since Nebraska had been beaten by Illinois A to and tied by both Kansas and Missouri
