Louisiana State was perfectly justi-
fed in not sending him into the
game. But if this was true, and
Mickal was hurt the week before
and it was practically certain he
would not play, or it was doubtful
if he would play, then Louisiana State
ought to have made that known. If
Mickal was not sufficiently hurt to
keep him on the sidelines, then there
was no excuse for not letting him
play. Unless some very good reason
exists, spectators at food ball game
are entitled to see what they expect
to see because of authentic publicity.
Think what a howl would go up
if the ST. Louis National League club
were to play here next Spring and
Dean were advertised to pitch, thou
sands were to go out because of that.
as they would. and then Dean was
kept on the bench. Mickal's presence
in the Louisiana State lineup would
have added color to what was other

Some backs may have run for
touchdowns faster than PARCELS did
for Georgetown last Friday night
after he intercepted that forward
pass but if they did the distance to
the goal line was covered in close
to nothing fiat. PARCELS tucked the
ball under his arm and streaked
down the field so fast that Roanoke
players did not even bother to run
after him.
Georgia Is Yale's Poison.
EORGIA is bad medicine for
~ Yale. The record of the South
erners this year had not been
such at to indicate they had much
chance to beat the Dark Blue, but
they did it just the same. Georgia
this year is just one of the good
Southern teams and is far from the
strength of several others.
What Yale needs is a completely
reorganized coaching system. More
good foot ball material goes to waste
in the Yale bowl than at any other
place where a big university team
holds forth.
The chances are that Navy will not
get by its game with Pittsburgh and
keep its record clear, but that probably
will help it somewhat for its game with
Army With an undefeated team fac
ing Army, Navy would be under
much greater mental strain than II
one whipping had been absorbed.
Army lost to Illinois, yet it came right
back and wiped up Harvard.
This Navy-Pittsburgh game at An
napolis this week will draw everybody
the field will hold. Right now it is
said to be almost impossible to get
tickets. Pitt without much doubt, has
the better team and should win by two
or three touchdoWns. The one chance
that Navy has is that Pitt has been
through a very difficult schedule,
knows it is great team and may not
take Navy as seriously as it should. If
it develops that this is Pitts attitude,
then Navy may get the Jump and go
out in front early in the game. If this
happens, Pitt will be lucky if 1t pulls
itself together sufficiently to win. No
more difficult situation can confront a
foot ball team than to be behind in
game in which it thought it would be
well ahead. This causes most of the
big upsets.
Navy Scores Clean Victory.
IIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC IN
" STITUTE finally came through
to win game, beating North
Carolina State, despite having one of
it's star linemen barred because of
ineligibility. For some reason the
Blacksburg men have not been doing
so well this year, despite the fact that
they seem to have excellent material
and an exceptionally hard playing
team.
Navy played and won another of
those games in which it was out
played" That expression is getting
to be little bit worn in foot ball. In
reports of games, in personal opinions
of games, one sees or hears often that
so and so won, but it was outplayed.
No matter how much ground team
gains, if it fails to cross the goal line
as often, or score as many points as
its opponent, it does not outplay that
opponent. The team that outplays
the other is the one that most often
attains the objective of the game,
which is nothing more nor less than
to score points, either by crossing the
goal line or by kicking goals. Points
are the real test of foot ball, and no
team that scores more points than its
opponent possibly can be outplayed.
Navy beat Notre Dame and de-
serves all the credit that should go
to it for such victory, no matter
how much ground Notre Dame gained
between the two 10-yard lines.
Minnesota is romping over its
Western Conference foes in way
that few other conference schools
have been able to in the last few
years. The Gophers are not merely
winning, but are winning by such
scores as to indicate an unusual
superiority over all comers. Indiana,
the only team that has been able to
stop Pop Warmers offense at Temple,
was walloped Saturday, 80 to o. AS
far as material is concerned, Mime
sofa apparently has one of the great
est squads of all time.
