CHAMPION ELEVEN

Might Cause Experts to
Give Cadets Edge.

NEW YORK, November 30.--It begins
to look as though the East will have to
do without a foot ball champion this
year. In 1927 the experts got out of
difficulties by nominating Yale and
Pittsburgh as joint holders of the crown.
At the moment 1t would seem that six
or seven teams should be rated about
equally and to name that many to one
throne would make the royal perch of
1928 a bit uncomfortable for all.
OF course, there's still chance that
tomorrow's few but important battles
will develop ruler upon whom the
large majority of fans and experts can
agree. If the galloping Cadets of West
Point can turn back Stanford, most OBJ
servers will be ready to toss out the
Notre Dame game and award the Sec
tional title to Army, but there seems to
be considerable doubt, even in the East,
as to whether the Cadets can match
the tricky game Glenn Warner has
taught his Stanford warriors.
Boston College in Running.
Then Boston College, in the event it
defeats Holy Cross, must be considered.
The Eagles of B. G. have escaped defeat
and tie so far, although their schedule
was none too heavy. Barring their de-
feat of the Navy early in the season.
they will have considerable trouble
pointing to a triumph over flrst-rate
opponent.
Georgetown, which dropped its only
game to Carnegie Tech may strengthen
its championship position by stopping
the hitherto unchecked University OF
Detroit eleven at Detroit. Brazil and
Connell, Detroit backs, will be prepared
to see that Georgetown goes back to
Washington with another defeat tackled
on its record. =,

Thanksgiving day program were New
York University's complete rout by the
oregon Aggies, IS to IS. and Pennsyl-
Vania's humiliation of Cornell, 49 to 0.
After New York UniverSity'S triumph
over Carnegie Tech last Saturday critics
were ready to award the title and
everything else to the violent Violets,
but the Beavers from the Pacific Coast
romped through the New Workers
weakened line practically at will.
With Paul Scull making glorious
exit from the collegiate gridiron, Penn
smashed Cornell into overwhelming de-
feat at Philadelphia and now is ready
to dispute titular claims by any other
eleven. The Red and Blue lost only
to the Navy this season, numbering
among its victims Harvard, Penn state
and Columbia.
After three ties in a row, Brown

Colgate in their annual Thanksgiving

too much. Ed Kevorkian's field goal

the leading role, Pitts Panthers ad-
