TO THE list of bigger and better
items this foot ball season is
producing you can add exposes.
\ Tales Of proselyting are franker
and delivered unblushingly by sponsors
of this business which it assuredly
is. Almost every week somebody comes
out with a comprehensive rating OF
colleges in classes, ranging from the
amateur to the out-and-out pro-
fessional.
Now and then a coach will
break down and ask you how in
the devil he can be expected to
win games when they're only
giving him IL or IL foot ball
scholarships a year. The March
of Time threw part of the story
on the screen few weeks ago.
The new Saturday Evening Post, out
this week, hits the racket again. Fran
els Wallace writes piece called Il Am

the season, not because he calls Pitt

and an honest one, to lift a boy out
of an industrial background and drop
him on college campus. 1t was stim-
ulating to dwell upon what this might
mean to him. his future wife. to un-
born generations. Then the returns
began to come in. and some of the
boys. famous and well travelled. began
to drift back to the same old streets,
too good for hard work and not quite
good enough for the easy jobs they
had expected. I realized that some
of these all-Americas might have been
happier If they had been allowed to
bloom unseen in their native fields.
Il decided that owed an obli-
CATION to the coach and the col
lege as well as to the boy and
his family. and that playing

there is an increasing desire now to

There was some doubt as to the Co

etc. The answer, after five games. is
q total of 13 points scored by the
opposition.
Rare was the local grid expert"
who, in preseason estimates, did not

tops. There are those who today,
even in the face of the poorest record
of any Of the "big four" still will
maintain that, with the chips on the
table, the Yanchulises, Anthanovages,
etc, will rise to any occasion. At
any rate. even the disappointing Car
dinals have allowed only 81 points to
be scored on them in four games.
The total for the four major Wash
ington teams bears out any praise the
linemen may inherit. The 7 points
scored against Georgetown and the
IL against Maryland makes 81. George
Washington's 18 boosts the total to
80 and the 81 points scored against
Catholic makes for a grand sum Of
10 points tailed against the Districts
cream of the crop in Is games.
This is an average of less than
four points per game, less than two
safeties and approximately half a
touchdown per so minutes. 1t is
little wonder, then, that Georgetown,
Maryland, George Washington and
Catholic University, among them,
showed a composite record of IA VIC
tories, 2 losses and 2 ties. It takes

this but, in addition, it takes good

As our correspondent says, there

its own conference. The Southwest
