NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The 1899
football parade now heads for 4 new
year, with appropriate opening cere-
monies In various bowls" on New
Years Day.
There will be q couple of side ex-
cursions next week to decide cham
pionship races in the Southeastern
and Pacific Coast Conferences, but
that is all there Is left in winding
up the season.
Already two teams have been
named for the post-season clashes.
Georgia Tech, certain to get at
least a tie for the Southeastern Con-
ference crown, accepted an invita-
ton to appear In Miami's Orange
Bowl as soon as it finished the
regular season Saturday by beating
Georgia, 1870. Arizona State of
Tempe automatically earned q spot
In the Sun Bowl at Ell Paso, Tex,
when it won the border conference
title.
Other Sectional Champions.
The other sectional champions are !:
East (unofnciaD aD-Cornell.
Southern Conference (unofnciaD
Duke and Clemson. (Both unde-
feated in conference. Duke had one
more victoryO
Big Ten-Ohio State.
Big Six-Missouri.
Missouri Valley-Washington UNI
versity.
Southwest-Texas A. and NJ.
Mountain States Big Seven
Colorado.
Rocky Mountain-Colorado Mines.
Although Georgia Tech won six
straight Conference games and lost
only to Notre Dame and Duke by
very close margins, the Engineers
aren't rated the equals of Tennessee
and Tulane in their circuit. The
Tennessee Volunteers, triumphant
over Kentucky, 1870, last Thursday,
still have to get past a pretty good
Auburn team next Saturday before
they can claim the honors in their
own section.
Coast Race Still On.
Meanwhile, Tulane, rated by many
the Vols equal, wound up with a 80
20 triumph over Louisiana State in
a thrilling encounter marked by
long runs and constantly chang
ing lead. They won five conference
games, didn't lose at all and were
tied only by North Carolina.
The Pacific Coast. Conference
title will be decided Saturday in the
meeting between two unbeaten
teams, Southern California and U.
c. L. A. Up to last Saturday, that
looked a cinch for Southern Cali
fornia in view of the Uclans' three
ties. But the Trojans' game with
Washington put a slightly different
aspect on the whole matter.
Perhaps they experienced a let
down after their triumph over Notre
Dame the previous week. That often
happens. But the Trojans trailed
for three periods and finally won
out, 81, after the closest squeak
they had since the opening game,
when they were tied by Oregon.
They couldn't pass through the
Washington line far enough to Offset
Dean McAdams' kicking, so they
finally passed over it, gaining all
9 points by the air route in the last
quarter.
Tennessee Likely Bowl Team.
The winner Of the U. s. Gu. c. L.
A. game. of course, will be one Of the
teams in the Pasadena Rose Bowl
January /. Tennessee is expected to
get the call. If it completes its sea-
son without defeat. Tulane likely
will wind up in the New Orleans
Sugar Bowl. The rest of the bowl"
field appears wide open.
The Texas Aggies. who won the
Southwest title and their 10th
straight game by beating Texas,
900, November 30, are in the run
ming. Other outstanding teams that
finished their seasons without de-
feat or a tie are Cornell (Which is
cold to post-season bidS, Colorado
Mines and San Jose (Calif) State
Duquesne, which staged fine come
back Saturday to gain a 1910 tie
with Detroit in its final regular
season game, and Georgetown are
among the unbeaten, but tied teams.
Rutgers was eliminated from this
group by a 1870 loss to Brown on
the second Thanksgiving and took
its place on an "honor roll" of once
beaten teams along with Boston
College. Princeton, Duke, Clemson,
North Carolina, Missouri, Nebraska,
Oregon State and Santa Clara.
Boston College Sparkles.
Boston College scored one of the
most notable of the last-day
triumphs by beating a strong Holy
Cross team, 14-0, to complete a
notable freshman" season for
Coach Frank Leahy. Another first
year coach, Emery (Swede) Larson
of Navy, collected q lot Of glory
when his Midshipmen beat Army,
100, in the annual clash, notable
mostly for its colorful side lights
than its importance as football
game.
Stanford, unable to win game in
the West, turned In the days biggest
upset by whipping Dartmouth, 14-3,
