STRONG MI. Line

LEXINGTON, Va. October 20
Although V. NJ, 1. dropped a close
and hard fought game to Virginia last
week, Coaches Clarkson and Raftery
are well pleased with the develop
ment of their team since the beginning
of the son.
The green cadet line played a mag
nificent game, and if the Cavaliers
had not been so quick to take advan-
tage of fumbles, the credit for win
ming the game could easily have been
given To V. NJ. Is forwards.
The Virginia game proved again
that White. cadet triple threat. is one
of the great backs of the South. His
running. passing. punting. place kick
ing and powerful defensive play
stamp him as unusually versatile as
well as an outstanding star in every
department.
The cadets uncovered another stellar
performer in DIETRICH. who made the
first touchdown of the game. Deitrich h

is his first year out for the team. He

vania dispose of Illinois and Chicago
her Npresent lead could not he taken
away from her. no matter what the
Army does and. indeed, she would
spring very high in the way Of ma
tional ranking.
In the Middle West Michigan is
definitely in the van. Chicago and
Ohio State are strong teams, and ma y
alter the present aspect of ranking
before they are done. But just now
the record of each is marred by tie
game. Nothing much is heard from
Minnesota, but the team has not been
beaten nor tied, although it should be
noted that her opponents thus far
have been of inferior grade. The Iowa
eleven has not been beaten, and
through her defeat of Illinois holds a
good position in the Big Ten rank. To
recapitulate, Michigan leads. with Chi
cago. Ohio State and Iowa pretty
much on a level and Minnesota re-
quired to show her actual strength
against q good opponent.
Stanford Progressing.
Stanford has been making fine
progress, and her defeat of the strong

team-especially in view of California :
poor showing in the past two weeks

as a whole, Washington, which jour
neyed a couple of thousand miles and
held the powerful Nebraska team TO
a tie. must be regarded as level with
Stanford at this writing.

far shown and not so much on the
record of games won and lost
Georgia Tech and Alabama stand
out just now as the most formida BILE
elevens in the South. There would
be no warrant in ranking one above
the other. Next Saturdays game at
Atlanta between these two powerful
rivals may be found to have settled
the Southern championship. Virginia
has shown undoubted strength, but
her remaining games will not give

her chance to establish herself in
the Southern ranking.
On the other hand, should Georgia
Tech defeat Alabama and the Uni
Versity of Georgia later defeat Tech
Virginia would go way up because
of the fact that she holds victory
over the Georgia crew. Tulane, un-
beaten, has a chance TO gain great
prestige by beating Northwestern
next Saturday. but her Southern
schedule does not give her much of
chance at the big fellows of Dixie
Her one chance is TO beat Auburn
and then have Auburn defeat Geor-
Gia Tech on Thanksgiving day.
Where are all the good punters this
year? The best that the writer has
seen to date is Wycoff of Georgia
Tech. Had Notre Dame had punter
who approached Wycoff' ability to
boot the ball last Saturday she might
well have held the Army scoreless.
