New York, Dec. 3.-(P)-Except for
sporadic firing in the south and the
traditional Rose Bowl game at Pasa-
dena New Years day, the football
season is over but the thrills it pro-
duced will linger on for many weeks.
Nays conquest of Army, 80, in
the mud and rain at Philadelphia
on Saturday-the Tars' first VIC
tory over West Point since 192l-fur-
nished a dramatic and fitting CHI
max to campaign that saw Sec
tional title-holders in 1888 swept from
their thrones almost without excep-
ton.
The sensational upheavals OF the
past season saw Alabama's Crimson
Tide, Rose Bowl nominees. and Min
nesota's Gophers alone among major
schools wind up Their regular sched-
ules undefeated and united. 1t wit
messed, too the collapse of such for
mer powers as Southern California,
Michigan, Nebraska and Utah.
Alabama, Stanford and the Colo
RADIO Aggies, alone were able to nego-
tiate the championship heights for
the second year in succession. Ala
bama's $40 trouncing Of Vanderbilt
Thanksgiving Day enabled the Tide
to share the Southeastern conference
crown with Tulane's Green wave
which eliminated Huey Longs Louis
lana State Tigers, 1912, on Satur-
day.
Stanford Wins Coast Title
Stanford's Indians, who will repre-
sent the far west against Alabama in
the Rose Bowl game, annexed clear
claim to the Pacific coast title this
year where they had been forced to
share it with Southern California
and Oregon last year. The Colorado
Aggies finished in q triple tie for
the Rocky Mountain championship
for the second year in succession but
their co-titlists this time are Colo
RADIO University and Colorado Teach
ers. Last year the co-holders were
Utah and Denver.
Otherwise, the dethroning Of 1888
champions was complete. Minnesota.

eleven in the land. swept to the Big

placed Nebraska as Big Six king by

In the southwest, Rice defeated

Panthers Power Of East
In the East. J Southerlands
Pittsburgh Panthers, beaten only by
Minnesota 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 unde-
feated, 3l-6 trouncing.
The principal disappointments Of
the season were Michigan and South
