nave nnlShed hne seasons. Their
records stand without the chance of
blemish now. Each wound up its
campaign in brilliant style Saturday,
Detroit with a 33 to Is victory owe.
Georgetown and Boston college with
a 1910 triumph over it's old rival.
Holy Cross.
But there are others to consider.
Southern California, Utah and Ten.
nessee have been tied but are un-
beaten. California has bowed to no
college foe although tied by STAN
ford and Southern California. Stan.
ford lost to Southern California but
gave an exhibition Of attacking
power Saturday against the Army
that has not been surpassed this
season In big league competition.
1t Is strange il not unprecedent-
ed season when such ordinarily
mighty machines as Yale. Michigan
and Notre Dame each suffer the
humiliation of four defeats. Yet they
were only the main victims in the
surge that at some time or another
upset nearly every major team.
Every eleven IN the Big Ten met
at least one defeat during the sea-
son. so keen was the competition,
and Chicago was beaten no less
than seven times. Every member
OF the new Big Six Conference, as
well as the Southwestern Conference,
also suffered at least one reverse.
Only Utah survived in the Rocky
Mountain Conference zone and the
Indians were tied TWICE. One after
another the eastern favorites we're
knocked off, except Boston college.
Armys streak was stopped by
Notre Dame and the. Cadets were
finally crushed by Stanford. Carne-
gle swpoped along unbeaten until 1t
struck the fierce charge of New
York University which on that day
at Pittsburgh. looked like the most
! formidable force in the east. Yet
week later it was drubbed by Ore
son State. The Navy dropped its
first three games before upsetting
Pennsylvania. which otherwise turn
ed in one of the best records in this
section.
Champions were overthrown in
five Of the major fields of action.
Stanford shared the Pacific coast last
year with Southern California but
the Trojans occupy the top alone
this season. Utah displaced the Colo
RADIO Aggies in the Rocky Mountain
Conference and Texas ousted the
Texas Aggies from the southwestern
conference title. Nebraska won the
first Big Six crown in group that
was led by Missouri last year. Bos-
ton College finished with the best
eastern record where Yale and Pitts
burgh shared the 1927 leadership.
Illinois, in a race decided on the
last day. successfully defended the
Big Ten championship. Georgia
Tech appears likely to stay at the
top of the southern conference, even
if forced to share the leadership
with Florida or perhaps Tennessee.
All NuIcc Vi tICsc oOutuCIh kCdIuc
are still In the running.
The spread OF radio hook ups for
big games throughout the country
failed 10 cut down the attendance.
Besides the record-breaking out
pouring Of $4,000 at Soldier Field
on Oct. 10 for the Nfvy-Notre Dame
game, the east reached new high
, mark with crowds Of $4,000 filling
the Yankee Stadium in New York
for each Of the Army's battles with
/ Norte Dame and Stanford. Throngs
Of close to $4,000 or more witnessed
spectacles at Ohio State and Michi-
gan while 10000 saw the Stanford
California game at Berkeley and so,-
200 the Southern California -Notre
name contest at Los Angeles. In
the southwest. a new record was set
by the crowd Of $4,000 for the game
in which Texas clinched the section
al title by defeating Texas Aggies.
