H. YOST has stirred up
E another argument in offering the
opinion that the Midwest had
either five or seven teams strong

either five or seven teams strong
enough to beat the best five or seven
from any other sector.
put this problem up to Dan Nc
Gugin, Yost's brother-in-law, now
president of the Foot Ball Coaches As
sociation.
/ Dan McGugin knows Middle West
play, and as the chief mentor at Van
derbilt he also knows the South.
III admit" he said that this sea-
son the Midwest had a shade in better
reserve material But with Tennessee.
Alabama. Vanderbilt, Auburn and
v. P. I. on any peak day it would have
| been terrific argument.
Il think any team in America would
have had more than its share OF trouble
against Tennessee, one Of the best teams
I've looked at in long time.
| This season, however, We lacked the
/ reserves that are now needed for full
campaign, and if you take in the av
| erage of the entire year, I suppose the
Middle West would have little to
/ spare"
Eastern coaches had no quick rebuff
tai to offer. They recall that Ohio
State tied Pittsburgh and shattered
|
back of Michigan. Purdue and Notre
Dame in the years ranking.
The Far West refused to make any
concession, figuring Southern California
a sure thing against any other team,
with Washington, Washington State and
others having practically an even
chance.
They also include California in this
rating with full team strength in the
field, as it was against Georgia Tech.
