New York, Nov. 27--(UP) Here It
Is almost time to put the 1889 foot
ball season away In mothballs and
the two top teams Of the nation still
have. two games each to play.
Until those games are over, no
final ranking will be possible. Ten.
ilessee, generally considered the OUT
standing college team In the nation,
still has 10 get past Kentucky and
Auburn. Southern California, de-
serving second place In the ranking
ct this stage by virtue Of its hair
raising victory over Notre Dame, has
washington and UCLA still In Its
path.
Lineup
Considering Saturdays perform.
ances and the record across the en-.
tire season, the ranking should be
about as follows:
/. Tennessee, unbeaten, united
and unsecured on.
2. Southern California, unbeaten
but tied by Oregon In the opening
game of the season.
3. Texas A. and M. unbeaten and
untied--a team with one Of the
strongest running attacks ever seen
In the southwest.
4. Tulane, unbeaten but tied by
North Carolina.
8. Cornell, unbeaten and united.
8. Dusqune, which forced Its way
to national recognition by defeating
tough Carnegie Tech outfit Sat-
urday. Unbeaten and united.
3. Georgetown, unbeaten but tied
by Syracuse.
Texas A. and M. seems sure shot
for one Of the major bowl games de-
spite the fact that 1t still has 10
play Texas team spanked by that
hipper- clipper runner, Jack Grain.
Tulane likewise looks like q good bet
with only in-and-out Louisiana
State in the way.
UCLA, tied for the second time
this season on Saturday In confer
ence competition, had TO scramble In
the dying minutes OF the game with
Oregon State TO get o IL TO 10 tie.
Tied earlier by Stanford, USLA has
the gigantic task Of knocking off
Southern California II II wants to
stay In the running as the western
representative In the Rose Bowl.
incidentally, the UCLA also
have q non-contsrence deadlock
with Santa Clara against their un-
beaten escutcheon.
At It's Peak
The Southern California team
that whirled through South Bend,
Ind, last Saturday seems to be get
ting better each week. Blessed with
unlimited manpower anc. probably
the strongest running attack in the
country. the Trojans are going to
cause plenty Of trouble for whatever
eastern team gets the Rose Bowl
bid.
Some Of the high lights:
Upset Of the day-Tile way an
under-dog Yale team started rip.
ping, roaring attack against Har.
ward and came out with O ridicu.
lousy easy victory, 20 to Z.
Player OF the day-Kenny Wash.
ington, UCLA's great halfback, who,
with one minute to 60, spanked his
team to touchdown that tied Ore
gon State. He passed and ran the
ends, carrying the team o. yards IN
nine plays.
Best games Of this. week--Ten-
nessee vs.. Kentucky at Lexington,
Ky, and Army VS.. Navy at Philadel-
phia--a great sports spectacle de-
spite the fact that two $3.50 foot
ball teams will be playing.
