but the carnage so far finds defeat
escaped by only one of the eight
major teams that finished the 1925
campaign unbeaten.
Lafayette, the only Eastern team
neither conquered nor tied in 1925, is
the only survivor of the unbeaten
brigade and even this team has one
tie marked against it's record so far
this season. The Maroon juggernaut
ran into unexpected opposition from
West Virginia last Saturday and bare
ly escaped with TT score. Lafayette
may stumble this week against an
old rival, Washington and Jefferson,
to complete the downfall of last sea-
sons pace settlers.
Alabama and Stanford, intersec'
tional rivals who fought to a tie in
last New Year day post.season battle
after mopping up all rivals previously,
met swift and sudden downfall this
season. Georgia Techs golden tor

handing the crimson tide its first de-
feat in three years. Little st. Mary's

Lou Little announced this morning
the indefinite suspension of Bucky
O'Neil, halfback. and Messy

The sentences were meted out
for infringement of the training

game with West Virginia Satur-

definitely out of this battle. None
of the three have been with the
squad this week.
Coach Little says ne realizes the
loss of these men will seriously
hurt GeOrgetOwn's chances against

1t was while describing the prin-

team, to n representative of the AS

University of Michigans famous ath-
letic leader, paused and said:

interested. With it go courage, truth
and faith. all positive forces"
DO you mean that you can build
foot ball team on this Biblical prin-
ciple?"
II mean." Yost replied, that you
cannot build a great foot ball team, in
the modern college game, without
these heart qualifications. You must
have other qualities too-physiuue,
health and endurance. Millions of men
have those qualities, but they do not
make foot ball players even with
them. Along with the physique and
heart qualities go intellect, and /
mean an all round intellect, one which
can think, remember and imagine.

"There are more than half a million
young Americans playing foot ball this

to all those interested in the future
of this country, I say: Go and see
