ELEVENS IN VARIOUS
SECTIONS ARE RATED
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, October 81. The
standing of the various important
elevens throughout the country at
this midseason juncture may or may
not argue anything definite so far
as the future is concerned. In some
cases It probably does: in others
probably not.
At all events, here is how the
elevens seem to rate In the mind of
the writer and of other foot ball
specialists in the various sections:
East-Yale, Dartmouth, Pennsyl-
vania, Army, Syracuse, Lafayette.
Princeton, Columbia, Rutgers, Will
liams, LehiGh, Pittsburgh. Harvard,
Penn State. Boston College. Holy
Cross. Brown.
Yale is placed above Dartmouth be-
cause the Ellis in tying the Green won
virtual victory over an eleven that
had pointed for this contest. In
other words, at this time Yale gives
the greater promise
South Atlantic (rated by W. T.
Christian of Richmond)-Navy; vir-
ginia and Georgetown bracketed for
second; third, Washington and Lee.
In the Middle Western Conference
the writer rates Illinois easily first.
Chicago stands second at this writ
ing and seems the one team likely to
stand in the way of Illinois quest of
a championship title. In third place
the following unbeaten teams are
bracketed: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa
| and Ohio State. Michigan has a chance
TO improve her present standing but
Purdue, Northwestern and Indiana are
out of it,
OF the non-conference teams. Notre
Dame stands way up at the head, and,
| considering Illinois none too good
defense, would probably score as
many touchdowns as could Grange,
if not more, were the two teams to
meet.
South Grated by Zipp Newman of
Birmingham)-Georgfa Tech. Georgia,
Tulane, Florida, Alabama Louisiana
State, Auburn, Vanderbilt.
On the Pacific Coast Southern Cali
fornia must receive at the present
time the topmost place. Then Cali
fornia, which, however, must begin
to show form in real tests against
conference rivals in order to hold
this position or to better it. Wash
ington slides into third. Were her
schedule more difficult, she would have
great chance of taking conference
| honors. AS it is, she will probably
win all her remaining games without
land Stanford, which has been dis
appointing so far in the matter of
fighting spirit and cohesiveness.
Rocky Mountain Conference Grated
by Les Coates of Salt Lake City,
Colorado University, Montana State
, College, Colorado Aggies.
Southwestern Conference Grated by
| Sam Pace of Fort rth)-Southern
| Methodist University, whose passing
! on Saturday disposed of the strong
Texas University team; second, Texas

/ Rice, Baylor
In the Missouri Valley Nebraska's

| smashing defeat of Colgate mark her
as a formidable contender for honors,
but because of her defeat by Chi
cago, Missouri must be regarded as
standing first at the present time,

JOHNSTON THROUGH
AS MENACE TO TILDEN

William Tilden's victory in the ma
tional singles over William Johnston
ends for good, apparently. the little
Californian's pretensions to the ma
tional championship class.
Johnston was never in better physf-
cal condition than in the recent
matches at Forest Hills, and those
who have followed his play are
agreed that his form this year was
better than it was even in 1919. when
he defeated Tilden, winning his sec
ond and last national championship.
This being so, there is no substan-
tial basis for any further hopes on
the part Of eithe.' Of Johnston or his
numerous admireIs that he has it in
him to lower 'rildens haunting
standard. Nor has any one else now
before the tennis pu bic even so good
a chance as Johnstcs.
Tilden stands alo.se a genius, and
so far as can be seen now probably
will SO stand for long time to
come.

FOLWELL GETS BEST

Ability to make use of unusual

Is one Of the secrets of Bob Fol-
wells success as a coach. Back
in 1909, WHEN EOINell was coach
ing Lafayette. he discovered In the
squad n tall, Ianky fellow with a
pair of huge hands. Crane was his
name, and naturally every one
called him IchabOd.
IchabOd developed one ability
that stamped him aS unique. The
pigskin was like a base ball in his
bands. Seventy yards was no dis
tance for him to accomplish and he
could average 90 yards with ease.
IL the ball was intercepted n
was rs good as n punt. Often
Crane hurled the ball straight Mt
the defensive quarterback. If the
latter was not Qufck-witted
enough to let it ground itself and
so he put in play at the starting
pcint. he was apt to he thrown i'm
his tracks AZ he caught it. Fol-
wells ends worked fast.

an exceptionally close struggle, the
American conquering only by. the

The British star next played in the
Berthellyn cup tournament at the
Huntingdon Valley Country Club,

had it that I should be paired against
her in the very first round.
Now the Connecticut State title
was mine, and in the national event
at Hollywood, after tying with Mrs.
Latham Hall of England for low
medal score in the qualifying round,
had captured the honor in the play
off by single hole. But in the first
round Miss Leitch's sister, Edith, who
was not rated nearly so strong a
player, had beaten me 3 up and to
go. 1t was hardly to be expected
that, with my comparative inexperi-
ence, I would be able to win out
against a player who had been a rec
ognized star since 1913.
Nor did the initial stages of our
match in the Berthellyn cup tourna-
ment suggest any other conclusion
Miss Leitch maintained so comfort

holes remaining to be played she had

Harvard has been threatening for
two seasons to alter her attack, but
there has been little evidence so far
of change. 1t was said that the Grim
son would show Yale something new
in the last game of 1923, but unfor-
tunately a downpour of rain prevent
ed either team from showing anything
except an ability to slide about in the
mud. Nobody knows what Fisher is
preparing to offer, but he is certain
ly planning a, campaign in which the
quarterback will be something more
than signal caller.
Yale, last years big three cham
pion, under Tad Jones loosened up her
line and broadened the radius of her
attack. with the result that she over
whelmed the Army and Princeton
with this kind of warfare, building
original methods on the old line divide
which was one of Jones most effec-
tive weapons when he was quarter
back on the Yale team. SO far Yale's
showing this season has not been i'm
pressive, but the punting has i'm
proved, and there was certainly plenty
of fight displayed in the stand the
Bull Dog made against Dartmouth
on it's own two-yard line.
Dartmouth, under Jesse Hawley
and CanneIl, celebrated the renewal

of foot ball relations with Yale with
game from which Yale was lucky
to emerge with tie. Oberlander is
the Green Mountain boys big threat
in the backfield. but Hall also proved
great backfield runner in that Yale
game.
Cornell has the principal part OF
last years veteran line, but Coach
Dobie and George Phann have not
been able to develop a backfield to
hinge around Patterson. Hence their
defeats by Williams and Rutgers.
Boston College, irritated a bit at
the hands of Marquette. is going out
for real work under Cavanaugh, and
Holy Cross is making a good showing
this year.
Columbia is still the question mark
of the East. What Percy Haughton
is able to do on Morningside Heights
will be watched with great interest,
especially in view of renewed rumors
that Haughton may go back to Har-
ward. His defeat by Penn was no dis
grace and the Blue and White showed
up very creditably.
Williams is out to win again the
championship of the 'qittle three
Williams, Wesleyan and Amherst
and has opened the season well by
defeating Cornell.

The bucking machine develops
every muscle in the body necessary
for foot ball. 1t develops them and
gives them endurance. 1t hardens
them, if done enough, so that the
man can go through the entire game
without being tired or fatigued. The
man that hasn't that endurance will
slow up and give the other fellow
the chance he wants, providing he
has the endurance to take advan-
tage OF it. You can't make a ma
chine-trained man quit. for he can
last and feel good. You need en-
durance to finish strong, and it's the
finish that counts. If team hasn't
endurance at the finish, the other
team will pass it in the score,
even though they have looked ap-
parently equal all day.
