Only Two Consistent

OF all the major universities,
" only Notre Dame and Holy
Cross seem to maintain a con-
Nsistent pace. Notre Dame has had
a winning football habit for years,
due to Knute Rockne and a never
ending supply of good material.
1t is taken for granted in the east
that Holy Cross never has a poor
baseball team.
Fordham used to be a great
football and baseball university
but now it is more of a basketball
institution. Under the coaching
of Eddie Kelleher the Fordham
quintet won 80 out of SO games
in six campaigns and lost only
three games in the last two sea-
sons.
Pittsburgh had a great run of
football success when Pop Warner
was coaching and then slipped for
a while until DR.. Jock Sutherland
produced claimant for the east
ern championship last season.
Then the basketball team followed
with a clear claim to the eastern
sectional championship.

Yale Shows Spirit

GINCE Princeton and Harvard
~ got into a football scrap that
broke up the Big Three. Yale has
been in what might have been
tough spot. 1t required real
diplomacy for Yale to be nice to.
Princeton and nice to Harvard
without breach of strict neu-
trality. Especially since a straw
vote would have shown that the
Yale campus was for Princeton'S
side in the football controversy.
But real diplomats at New
Haven have steered Yale through
so nicely that Yale has won all
the glory for real sportsmanship.
There are clever men in the
athletic council at Yale. Recently
the swimming and water polo
coach at Princeton quit the squads
and left them without trainer
or coach for the important meets
remaining on the schedule.
Yale offered the loan of her as
sistant coach and it was accepted
by Princeton. John McGraw
would snort at such tendency
toward determination, but it won't
hurt any of the college boys con-
lcerned.
