SOUTH COMBINES| GRID CLASS OFF CURRENT YEAR
Four Teams From That Zone Unbeaten; NOrth-
 western Surprised
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Edit0r)


 New York, Nov. 13. (UP)-Have the band play Dixie, because the South, with four of the nations seven undefeated major teams, dominates college football today as the 1899 season goes into the home stretch.
 Tennessee, Tulane, Texas A. and M, and North Carolina offer rec- ords unmarred by defeat and there can be no doubt that they are four of the strongest teams in the coun- try. The other members of the lucky seven" are Cornell, pride of the east; Oklahoma, @ real threat in the midwest; and Southern Cali fornia, which almost has the Rose Bowl sewed up in a bag.
 Their danking, based oil informa. ton from Impartial persons in all sections, should be about as follows: 1. Tennessee, 2. Texas Aggies, 3. Southern California, {. Oklahoma, g.. Tulane, 6. North Carolina, 2. Cornell.
 On the Way Out
 Two teams--Notre Dame and Dartmouth-fell out of the race of the unbeaten last weekend. The law of averages caught up with Notre Dame team that has been winning games by uazor-thin mar gins, and the Irish fell before Iowa, | 2 to 6. Dartmouth caught an in- spired Princeton team and was de- feated, g to 2.
 Two good little fellows, whose schedules hardly justify including them with the major undefeated teams, went marching along. Georgetown defeated Maryland, 20 to o, to keep It's season record clean of defeat and Duquesne, also ua- beaten, won from North Carolina State, ' to 0.
 There is a stern test ahead for every one of the major unbeaten teams except Southern California, which has an of day this Saturday. Cornell must play Dartmouth team that will be sinarting from the defeat by Princeton; Oklahoma takes on Missouri, slick outfit that proved 1t could run as well as pass; Tennessee tackles Vanderbilt; Tu- lane plays Columbia, North Carolina encounters Duke and the Texas Aggies play Rice.
 It is a month too soon to be talk ing about a national champion, but the cards seemed to be stacked in favor of Texas A. and M. It has the easiest remaining schedule of any of the first three-Tennessee, Texas A. and M, and Southern California. The Aggies need to get by only Rice and Texas. Tennessee must defeat Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Auburn. Southern California has the steep- est path of all-Notre Dame, Wash- ington and Ucla.
 Saturday Highlights Upset of the day.-Purdue's 3 to 0 victory over a highly favored North western team. Purdue was kicked all over the field for four periods but had the stamina to stay in there and a field goal by Fred Montague, substitute quarterback, won the game.
 Player of the day-Paul Christi man of Missouri, who put Joe Me- Carthy's pitchers to shame the way he threw the ball in the Yankee Stadium against New York univer- sity. He was involved in every one of Missouri's scoring plays and al- most single-handed won the game, 20 to T. He scored two touchdowns on running plays, threw a pass for the other touchdown and held the ball on conversions.
 Game of the week this Saturday Duke vs. North Carolina at Durham, N. O.

 Army - Navy
 The Army and Navy forever--los- ing. That's the way they are singing the song these days. Navy was scuttled by Columbia and Harvard outflanked the soldiers Another Saturday like this and some one will have to call in the Marines. Tulane stayed undefeated as its fast backs went swimming through the Crim- son tide of Alabama, and so did North Carolina as Stirnweiss and La- lanne took little Davidson apart to see why 1t didn't tick. A back who probably won't make many All- Americans but should, Banks, Me- Fadden, did everything but play the piccolo in the band as Clemson past ed Wake Forest. Utah draped lei of defeat around the neck of Hawaii but we can't imagine anyone forttln- ate enough to live in Hawaii taking time to learn to play football.

REDSKINS AND GIANTS HOLDING
 PRO GRID LEAD
Brooklyn Smeared APO; Farkas Stands Out;
 Bears Cage Lions
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Nov. 13.-(UP)-Pro- fessional footballs spotlight focused today on the Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears, who came though Sundays games with new offensive laurels.
 With devastating attack which shocked a throng of 28,54l, the Red- skins overwhelmed the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets field APO, and maintained their deadlock with the champion New York Giants for the eastern division leadership in the National Football league. It was the most crushing defeat any team has administered to another in the circuit this season.
 The Chicago Bears clung to their championship hopes by knocking off the Detroit Lions before 42,684 at Briggs stadium, g to 13, and tied the league record for the most points scored by one team in an H. game schedule, With 223 points in nine games, the Bears are a virtual cinch to crack the record made by the Green Bay Packers last year in their final two games against the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Cardinals.
 Packers, Lions Lead
 The Bears triumph enabled the Green Bay Packers, who defeated the Eagles, 23-l6, before 23,000 at Philadelphia, to move into tie with the Lions for the Western Division lead, each with six victories and two defeats. The Bears are half game behind with six victories and three defeats but cannot be counted out of the race because they are almost certain to win their two remaining games while the Lions and Packers have much tougher schedules.
 Playing a typical Giant game in which they refused to give out more than necessary to win, the New York Giants licked the Chicago Car dinals, 17-7, before 28,2l7 at the Polo Grounds and remained dead locked with the Redskins in the eastern end of the circuit.
 Spearhead of Washington's sav- age attack which ripped the Dodg- CTS unmercifully was Anvil Andy Farkas. the 23-year old Hungarian halfback from Detroit university now playing his second year in the loop Farkas scored three touchdowns making a 9l-yard run on the open- ing kickoff for the first. He gained 124 yards in 25 attempts from scrim- mage, more than the entire Brooklyn team. Dick Todd, Washington's freshman from Texas A & M, was the No. 2 man in the Brooklyn massacre. He scampered 80 yards for one touchdown and tossed @ short pass to John Spirda which gained 76 yards and led to another touch- down.
 Fumbles
 The Bears were outgained by the Lions, 366 yards to 299, but they cap. italized on Detroit fumbles, inter- cepted passes and penalties to hand Gloomy Gus Henderson's club its first setback at home.
 Although the Eagles were beat en, little Davey O'Brien showed somt of the form which gained him All. American recognition at E. c. U. last season. O'Briens running ane passing set up first period fielc goal and led to third period touch down. The Packers scored in eevr. period, making three touchdowns anS field goal but were listless on tn, defense.

Coach, Washington Redskins.

Because I'm perfectly content
to stand pat with the players we
have and am satisfied that we
possess everything we need for
the championship drive, you can
discount all talk of trade in
volving the Redskins. So we're
set, physically and mentally, for
the toughest and last two games
of the season, for you don't have
to remind us of the task ahead.
From our standpoint, nothing
worse could have happened than
that which did when the Cleve-
land Rams upset the Detroit
Lions last Sunday. You realize, of
course, what that meant to the
Lions; another defeat and they're
out of the Western title race.
Naturally they'll be desperate
against us here Sunday and meet
ing us on top of an unexpected
setback isn't going to find them
in pleasant frame of mind.
And if we're to beat them, we've
got to be on the ball all the time,
not letting up a single moment.
They've got passers like Johnny
Pingel and Dwight Sloan and
runners like Bill Shepherd, Lloyd

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 21.-Princeton

but to observers who have followed
the Middies this season it is evident
they are looking beyond Saturdays

Philadelphia two weeks hence.
Flurries of snow and examinations
harassed Navy yesterday, curtail-
ing its time on the field and ham,
pering the players, and today the
players were bothered again by
exams Pat Gray, blocking back,
was discharged from sick bay today
and rejoined the squad, and yes
terday the team regained the serv-
ices of Monty Whitehead, another
back.
Gray's place in the lineup has
been filled by Ed Gillette, who prob
ably will be shifted to another post.
Sammy Boothe and Tommy Blount
are expected to team with the pair
behind the line for the opening
kickoff against Princeton. A patched
up line will start the game with two
rockies, Montgomery and Foster, at
ends; Bergner and Trimble, tackles;
Sliwka and Wolfe, guards, and Sims,
center.

With the exception of Jay
Turner, who won't be ready to
play before the Giant game, We'll
have every man on the squad
available for duty. Ed Justice,
hurt in the Green Bay game, may
be able to play for short while
and Erny Pinckert definitely will
be ready.
Amid all the acclamation over
the Redskins sensational pass
ing and running of the past few
weeks, I'd like to point out that
our tackling in the last three
games has been excellent, with
the exception of a brief period
last Sunday when the boys were
coasting on a 15-point lead.
Incidentally, we've been told
that in case the end of the season
a week from Sunday should find
the Redskins and Giants tied for
the Eastern championship, coin
will be tipped to decide whether
the playoff for the sectional title
will take place in Washington or
New York.
The only playoff we're count
ing on, however, is the one be-
tween the Eastern and Western
champions. We want to have
that Eastern title by December 81

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The old

after the thirty-f1rst running of the
intercollegiate "A cross-country

For MacMitchell can run a mile
on a cinder path in around Ala, or
he can go up hill and down dale, as
he did yesterday, in record-shatter-
ing time. And there aren't many
good milers who like the cross
country grind. That's why the name
MacMitchell may be blazoned on
the trophy three times before he
runs out his eligibility at New York

Competent critics call the kid

Manhattan, Billy Smith of Penn
State, last years winner, and Don
Smith OF Maine, New England cham

MacMitchell ran the 5 miles in
26:28.6 to lead Moriarty by about 60
yards His time clipped five seconds
of the mark set by Smith last year
who ran third today.
Replacing MacMitchell as fresh
