junction of the Penn goal line and
the north sideline. He appeared
to have scored, at the end OF his
lunge. However, D. w. Very,
referee of the game, declared
Mellendick had gone out OF bounds
at the Inch line.
Now-how could Mellendick
have gone out of bounds at one
inch line? After all, the official
declared Mellendick's foot out OF
bounds. If Joe'S foot was out OF
bounds, at the one-inch line, is 1T
not true, in view of the direction
he took while running, that the
upper part of his body, including
his right arm, carrying the ball,
was across the Penn goal line
before his foot could go out OF
bounds at the one-inch line?
Just visualize the play, then stop
and study it all out. What do you
think?
Football officials make mistakes.
They are human, just as the rest
of us are human. No one blames

It isn't that one wants to blame

self, Alabama has the easier
course to California. The Tide
should beat Kentucky, Tulane and
Georgia Tech before meeting
Vandy. Vanderbilt must play
Tennessee, which is no bargain,
and also faces some trouble from
Georgia Tech.
On the West Coast, University
of California rolled to victory over
the Trojans Of University of
Southern California, winning by
score Of 20 to 6. Some 10000
lovers Of football were in the
stands as the Golden Bears
crushed their cherished foemen of
the South.
Pittsburgh, by virtue Of its de-
ciSive victory over Wisconsin re-
tainS its station as Rose Bowl
candidate from the East, and if
the PantherS receive an invitation
they will accept without delay.
Rejecting Rose Bowl bids, with
the prestige attaching thereto, is
not included in the Panthers'
plans of setting its house in order.
BROWN SURPRISES
While football fans cheer along
many fronts, let's raise a cheer
for the old Brown Bear, which
came out of Information on Satur-
day to whip a Columbia team that
was rated as vastly superior. It
was Browns first victory in major
competition since it defeated SYRIA
cuse in 1888. AS the Bear rose,
so rose the Leopard of Lafayette,
which confirmed it's victory over
Georgetown by downing New York
University.
Dartmouth's decisive victory
over Harvard on Saturday eStab-
fishes the Green Indians as one
of the leaders of the East in all
aspects. Harvard showed a lot Of
ability against Navy, and went
into the strife with the Hanover
eleven on even terms. Neither had
been defeated, both were finely
coached, and all elements were
suspicious for a great game.
Dartmouth, coached by Earl
Red" Blaik, of Army, has turned
out a great team at Dartmouth.
It is well grounded in every par.
ticular. It's line is turned by
Harry Ellinger, also Of Army, and
one of the best linemen West
Point ever knew. That the Green
should be three touchdowns better
than Harvard was surprising.
When discussing Rose Bowl
possibilities, it will not be wise to
overlook Baylor University down
there in Texas. The Baylor boys
turned back Texas A. & NJ. College
which was highly rated in the
most select circles in the Lone
Star State. Baylor faces stern
competition from Texas Christian
University, and if it can survive
this test will go ahead to the
championship in all probability.
