Georgia Tech and Southern Cali
foraiH shouldn't be your choice for

Georgia Tech and Southern Cali
fofnis shouldn't be your choice for
first.
We favor Georgia Tech because
the team was neither tied nor beaten.
and Southern California was held to
tie by California. Tech played q
representative schedule in its own
section. and 50 did Southern Cali
fornta- Each team beat Notre
Dame.
Georgia Tech did not play Florida
Or Tennessee, two Of the strongest
teams of the south. but Tech didn't
duck them. Tech never has been
accuse of ducking. and it is quite
certain that Florida and Tennessee
would have been on the schedule If
the schedule makers had known they
were going to be SO good.
And this must be considered.
There was just as much chance for
Tech to be knocked off by one of
these easy-lookinE tralcs on the
schedule as there was for the Army
to take il on the chin from Notre
Dame. New York University to be
smacked by the Oregon Aggies.
Southern California, perhaps. beat
some stronger teams in its section
than Georgia Tech did in the south.
and it surely was more than very
good team in beating Stanford. and
Notre Dame team that must have
been a little better for its expert
ence than it was when 1t was beaten
by Georgia Tech. There is, though.
the tie game with California, and
even Ii the California boys may have
sprayed the field before the game, 1t
stands on the record as a tie game.
Tho Army certainly is up there.
If not the best team of the year, it
was perhaps the most outstanding
because OF the terrific schedule it
went through with the loss OF only
two games.
Detroit and Boston College didn't
lose q game. They shouldn't have
lost q game on the schedule they
had. Ii Tennessee had not been tied
by Kentucky and if Florida had not
been beaten by Tennessee these two
southern teams would deserve an
equal rating with Detroit and B. c.
Pennsylvania lost only one game in
hard schedule. and because OF
its harder schedule we ranked Penn
above the two southern teams.

dixie HAS edge
| ON CALIFORNIA
Geor9ia Tech Favored to Win
Tournament Of Roses Game
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
NEA Service Sports Writer

The tennis players say it is smart
stud to lay back until your fellow Is
winded and then slam them in be-
fore he gets his breath. The same
strategy might be applied by the
literary athlete who has to play
around with words about football
teams.
1t has been found to be Z clever
defense to sneak over the All.Amer-
lea team on the customers, get them
talking out Of breath and then shoot
in the national ranking before they
get their second wind.
Under the conditions that prevail
this year it would be more sensible
to wait until Georgia Tech plays
California to deliver q powerful piece
on the leading teams OF 1928. but
football won't be very hot reading in
the middle OF January. And it may
be that the result Of the Tournament
of Roses game will not force a
change in any opinion that may be
offered now.
II Georgia Tech wins from Cali
fornia, the southerners will merely
cinch q first place, to which they
have at least q half title now. Ii
California should win the game We
cannot be convinced that California
would be the national champion be-
cause the seasons record as q whole
simply must be considered above
one game.
II teams were to be rated on the
one game in which they reached
their peak-and there il only one
perfect game a season for any one
team-you could be argued to death
that Carnegie Tech, New York Uni
versity, Notre Dame. Stanford, Ten
nessee and the Oregon Aggies all ha d
equal rights to first place on the
"a nkinS list. All these teams, and
more, too. had one game in which
they looked like team that couldn't
be beaten.
Considering their records, their
teams as a playing unit. their con-
sistency and the opposition they met,
We would rank the teeams as
follows:
l. Georgia Tech and Southern CAL
ifornia.
2. Army.
3. Detroit, Boston College and
Pennsylvania.
I. Stanford. Tennessee and Flor
ida.
This method Of ranking the teams
seems to be piling a lot of football
players in short space, but if we
knew any more accurate way of
putanR, them down one under an
other IN a list we would put them
down that way.
There being no prizes awarded for
seconds. thirds. fourths and fifths, it
is not a binding obligation to men
ton the teams that were not one or
two. The ones that know they
were not will not have much to say
about it.
There's a lot Of reverse English
on the ball when you start to rank
the teams. The reasons why a team
shouldn't be placed first are as easy
to find as reasons why they should.
and approaching it negatively We
can't find any valid reason why

Buckley. Sharkey's manager, failed
to arrive from Boston to confer
with Tex Richard regarding the
fight and the promoter declared he
would never stage the bout If Shar-
key insisted on guarantee Of
$4,000 as he is said to have done.
Should the Boston heavyweight
continue his refusal to meet Rick
ards terms. it is thought probable
that Paolino uzcudun may be sub
stituted as Stribling's opponent.
Rickard is said to have set Mon
day night as the final date upon
which he will consider terms with
Sharkey or Buckley.
The Muldoon- Tunney trophy

No rules or regulations were
drawn up to govern the selection of
the heavyweight to succeed Gene
Tunney although it was announced
that no organized tournaments
would he held.
In a statement issued after the
meeting, the committee said:
TEX Richard, as a member of
the committee, will confer from
time to time with his associates as
to matches best calculated to bring
out 4 man who will be generally
recognized as Tunney's successor
the committee will watch the rec
ords of contenders and consult with
boxing experts before arriving at a
decision as to who is entitled to
have his name inscribed on the
