Generals Win Title.

TN The southwest ftlCe puIIco
Baylor, 800, on Saturday to win
the conference championship to
which Arkansas Razorbacks were en-
titled in 1888, although they didn't get
it officially, because an ineligible player
was in the Arkansas lineup in several
games. Washington and Lees Gen
erals, outpointing South Carolina, IA
Z, last Thursday, assembled the South
ern Conference throne occupied jointly
by Duke and South Carolina last sea-
son.
In the east Jock Sutherland's Pitts
burgh Panthers, beaten only by Min
nesota and only opponent to give the
Gophers a real battle, generally were
regarded as the outstanding team in
the section. They defeated all Eastern
rivals handily and gave Nays fine
eleven, otherwise undefeated, 316
trouncing. Last year Princeton, I'M
defeated and united, finished with the
best record among major Eastern
schools.
The principal disappointments of
the season were Michigan and South
ern California. indicated Big Ten
champions in 1888, the Wolverines
won only one game in eight-a 90
triumph over Georgia Techs Engi-
neers, themselves walloped nine times
In 10 games.
Trojans Have Bad Year.
TRIMMED by Washington, 14-7,
Hj on Saturday, Southern Cali
fornia wound up its Pacific
Coast Conference schedule with one
victory, one tie and four defeats, the
worst record any Trojan team has
made since Howard Jones became head
coach, but they'll have chance to
redeem themselves partly this Satur-
day against Notre Dame.
Utah's Indians, who dominated the
Rocky Mountain group for six years,
were beaten twice in conference COM
petition this year, but had the sat-
isfaction of running Utah States title
bid with 147 victory Thanksgiving
day. Nebraska not only surrendered
its Big Six crown to Kansas State, but
was drubbed soundly by Minnesota
and Pittsburgh, further indication
that the usually powerful Huskers had
struck subnormal season.
Perhaps the outstanding upset of
the season was the TO victory Yale's
Bulldogs achieved over Princeton.
Jimmy Kits, at Rice, and Lyn Wal
dorf at Kansas State, achieved con-
ference championships in their first
seasons at the coaching helms of those
schools. Francis Schmidt had moth
Ing with which to reproach himself
after his first Ohio State team, ranked
second in power only to Minnesota,
dropped only one game and that a
14-13 decision to Illinois Ducky
Pond and his chief assistant, Earle
Greasy Neale, likewise did a re-
markable coaching job at Yale, which
defeated Penn, Brown, Dartmouth,
Princeton and Harvard in a back
breaking schedule that brought de-
feats by Columbia, Army and Geor-
gia, all by one touchdown margins.
Detroit Pulls Surprise.
AIAVY'S victory over Army,
IN achieved before crowd of 3d.
600 on a placement field goal
by Slade Cutter, was the high light
of last Saturdays program marked

upset of Washington State; Missis-
sippi's 7-3 decision over Mississippi
State; Georgia's TO triumph over
Georgia Tech; Dukes 800 rout of
North Carolina State; Southern Meth
odist's 1870 trouncing of Texas Chris
tan, and Holy Cross hard-earned TO

This weeks slender schedule shows
three Southwest Conference outfits in
action-Texas Christian playing Santa
Clara at Fort Worth, Texas A. and M.
entertaining Michigan State at San
Antonio, and Southern Methodist
tackling Washington University at st.
Louis. Tennessee's joust with Louis
lana State at Knoxville and the Notre
Dame Southern California tussle at
Los Angeles complete the program.
