n YEW YORK, Nov. 23-Saturday
was a big day for Harvard,
Dartmouth and Princeton. 1t
was big day for California.
Pittsburgh, Fordham, Villanova, Notre
Dame and Nebraska. But it was
gloomy day for Yale and Navy, among
many others.
Two years ago, back in 1895, I
travelled to Princeton with a young,
light, inexperienced Harvard team that
never had a chance. Princeton won,
pulled up, IS to 0. I came back, after
the game, with Dick Harlow, who had
to admit the future carried few sunny
spots. Today Harvard is champion
OF the old Big Three, with one of the
best football teams in the country,
one OF the best drilled and most alert
set of troopers football has seen in
some time.
Hard luck through injuries followed
this Harvard team through most of
the season. But it was ready for
Yale team that hadn't been beaten
up to this point-more than ready,
with more than Yale could stop.
Blaik Builds Great Team.
A T THE same time, strong Dart
mouth team, with eight replace
ments to make in September. took
charge of the ivy circle without a
defeat, another outstanding accom-
plishment on the part of Earl Blaik
and his staff with the help OF Bob
Macleod, Howe and others who had
the speed and spirit to drive on
through.
Just how battered and bedraggled
Princeton team came back so far from
Harvard, Dartmouth and Yale de-
bacles, hostile avalanche of some
80 points, is one of the mysteries. But
Navy can testify that the Tiger on
Saturday was a different team, team
that suddenly found itself for the first
time in its final game. Fritz Crisler
had one Of the hardest coaching prob
lens of the year. with so much green.
raw material to work with, and it was
no light job to get this material up
to the peak it reached in the Navy
overthrow.
1t was a fine job for Crisler and his
staff, the last-game feature of the
year.

ON THE other side, King of Min
nesota was the outstanding per-
former of fine line, extensively and
defensively. He caught winning
passes, was stone wall to enemy

the most capable performers of the
last several years.
At tackles, we have Schoenbaum of
Ohio State and Beinor of Notre Dame.
Schoenbaum, big and rugged, was a
tower Of strength in every game, and
Beinor was the leader Of the stanch
Notre Dame line.
There is an outstanding array of
fine guards this year, and selecting
two that outshine the others is very
difficult. I believe, though, that no
one will find much fault with the
choice Of Tweedell of Minnesota and
zarnos Of Ohio State. Tweedell turned

TT BECOMES increasingly difficult
each year to select a team of
standout performers. 1t becomes
more apparent each year that foot
ball primarily is team game and that
the more successful teams are not so
dependent upon the work of one or
two stellar performers as they are on
the co-ordinated efforts of the group
as whole.
Always, however, out of any group,
few consistently brilliant performers
will stand out game after game, and,
from this group, which yearly is
growing larger. I have selected an all
Mldwestern team. The players are
spread among seven powerful teams.
With football as it is these days, and
tho fact that more and better star
players are popping up everywhere, a
mighty slim difference exists between
those selected and host of others.
At ends, Sweeney of Notre Dame
and King of Minnesota get the call.
Sweeney was of great value to his
team, an alert opportunist and a
sparkplug on offense Mechanically,
he rates with the best, fine offensive
blocker and slashing defensive
power.

The Northeast, by placing four Of
its unbeaten teams among the first
eleven, still holds the strongest sec
tional hand in the ranking list. Not
in years has this sector been so con-
spicuously represented in the grid
irons upper strata.
Pitt Overshadows Duke.
ON THE basis of their relative posi-
tions in the poll, Pittsburgh has
nothing much to fear in its final game
with Duke, to be played at Durham,
N. c., this Saturday. But the fire.
quency of form reversals lately sug-
gesLs that nothing can be taken for
granted, here or elsewhere as the sea-
son draws to gaudy climax.
Alabama rules the favorite over
Vanderbilt in their Thanksgiving Day
natural" at Nashville, but there may
be some significance attached to this
weeks ranking shifts. Alabama
dropped a notch, to fourth place,
while Vanderbilt advanced six notches
to 18th position.
1t has been roller-coaster season
in the great Southwest, but latest re-
turns show Texas Christian with the
strongest support. T. c. U. topped
Rice last Saturday and still has a
chance to capture the conference
championship. The Texas season
doesn't close until December 1.
Minnesota, the No. team last year,
made strong finish to land in fifth
place. The Gophers dropped close
decisions to Nebraska and Notre Dame
but topped the Big Ten and can we'll
afford the luxury Of relaxatio from
the national title spotlight.

Clint Frank" Thorp, Harvard-Yale
official, said. He gave one of the
gamest exhibitions I ever saw on a

punishment Frank has taken all year
as both an offensive and a defensive
star. In the middle of this game Sat-
urday his knee was badly swollen and
he was barely able to move it. I
couldn't see how the fellow could
make even another play. He could
start on only one leg But he stuck
it out when two iron men would have
called it a day.
i've seen Frank on many of his
better days, when he was as good as
anybody ever comes along But he
was about the gamest football player
on Saturday I've looked at in long
time. And he still kept playing fine
defensive football, but naturally his

1t is consclentiously revealed in Mr..

1887 as in 1886, every other sign
pointed to more and better swatting
