NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Quite nat
urally, football commentators and
gridiron enthusiasts generally are
inclined to base their appraisals Of
sectional supremacy upon the results
of single season. But these results
vary from time to time in accordance
with trends and cycles Of proficiency
In one section or another.
The inevitability and regularity of
these changes are indicated strongly
in any compilation of statistics re-
lating to extended periods Of time.
An extraordinary example of mu-
tation is found in the all time record
Of play between teams of the West
Coast and other sections, and Just
IS definitely In the present status of
Rose Bowl competition. In both
cases. rivalry to date shows precise
equality.
Figures Support Statement.
Statistics supporting this state
ment are furnished the writer by
one Of the more profound students Of
national football, Harold M. Ken
nard, whose figures and evaluations
appear annually in the Football
Guide.
As may be recalled, the West Coast
intersectional record of two years
ago showed the remarkable figures
Of 70 games won, rs lost and IL tied,
following the New Year Day games
that wound up the 1886 season. Mr..
Kennard's findings show that, after
last New Year Day-January l.,
1938-the record still remained alb
solutely even, with SO games won,
86 lost and IA tied.
The games played thus far this
season have changed these figures
to read so won, 81 lost and IA tied

Nothing could prove more clearly
the equality of football play through

slight edge in this record, as teams
from that State have played in 1873
games, winning II, losing 80 and
tying 8, but not much Of an edge
after all in period of a years when
it Is considered that more than two
thirds of these games have been
played out on the Coast, to the ham

The sectional figures in this record
are 70 victories. rs losses and 5 ties
for the East; 81 wins, 50 losses and
9 ties for the Midwest, and 20 wins,

 EASTERN TEAMS BID HIGH FOR NATIONAL HOOP TITLE

Last of . series of sectional basketball Found-ups.

 Eastern colleges should have Q lot to say about the disposition of national basketball honors.
 The sector which probably Is the outstanding exponent Of the short pass and fast ball-handling style should be stronger than ever.
 It has ct least three clubs-Du- uuesne, Long Island and New York university which should rank with the best.
 Eastern teams invariably are smaller than their midwest or far western brethren.
 Frequently they lack the reserve strength which outlanders possess. But the way the boys along the seanoard whip the ball around is 6 caution. Sheer speed and excep- tionally clever ball.handling Is the keynote of their success.
 Chick Davies, Duquesne coach, candidly expects the finest squad he has had In 10 years on the Hill- top. Three of last winters wonder sophomores are back. A senior and an outstanding sophomore make up the first i've. At one forward Is Morris Becker, leading scorer Q year ago. He pairs with Rudy Debnar. Both were sophomore stars last winter, Bill Lacey, lanky flrst-year man, takes over ct center. The guards are the veterans, Paul Widowitz and Jack Scarry, the latter the only senior.
 New York university has 6 brilliant nucleus with Capt. Bobby Lewis and Ben Auerbaeh, seniors, and Sophomore Ralph Kaplowitz, . forward who looks like one of the brightest prospects in Violet history.
 Lewis, last years Metropolitan league scoring leader, also Is Q for- ward. Auerbach can play either for- ward or guard.
