ton Bergman has been manufac-

of his 10 years in Washington, but
this years job surpasses all pre-
vious efforts.
Cotton Is Magician.
Cotton is eligible for membership
in the magicians' union for develop
ing two lines from a lone end
left standing by last June's gradual
ton breeze. We confidently pre-
dicted c. U. would be an iron-man
eleven, but "Fod" pitched us curve
and We fouled that one into the tall
weeds. In three games the Cards
have used two full lines and you'd
have to have microscope to dis
tinguish any difference between
them.
Pete Sachon came to our rescue
by playing so minutes against De-
troit and st. Anselm, but let us
down in the Miami game when he
knocked off one and half minutes
while Leo Houck. jr., took over the
helm. Sachon's work is the magnet
attracting attention to the team and
without him Cotton's fine work and
all of Bergman's strategy might be
wasted. He is the spark plug. mag
neto, steering gear and at least
three cylinders of the machine and
his absence from the lineup leaves
terrific void in the backfeld.
Sachon Takes Bow.
Sachon is one of the best and
most consistent kickers in the coun-
try-including PENIS Francis x.
Reagan, who boots 'em a mile. Petes
passing this autumn has been al
most letter perfect, a far cry from
last year, when he was wilder than
a rookie in spring training. He calls
plays as though reading them from
book, and COMPOUNDED everybody
by drop-kicking two field goals for
the winning points against Miami.
Put him down on your all-some-
thing-or- other team, because he de-
serves recognition.
Brendan Stynes, Mike Cherello
and Tim Murnane are few of the
llnemen who have distinguished
themselves. Murnane looked par
ticularly good against Miami and
even had one qualified observer call
ing him another Joe Yanchulis. That
is the ne plus ultra of pivot play
at Brookland and Murnane can feel
highly complimented.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The 1910
college football season is half over,
roughly speaking. and for the first
time it is possible to approach with
some confidence the task Of naming
those sectional leaders who still are
in line for national honors.
The more important teams have
followed form" quite closely for the
past week or two in everything but
the size of the scores, so there are
few, If any, cases of title contenders
being upset by low ranking teams
or of beaten outfits coming back
into the races.
The list of undefeated and united
major teams still is an imposing
one, but barring form reversals in
this weeks program of major games,
it should take in all the candidates
for the mythical national cham
pionship.
Many Boast Clear Records.
In this category are Boston College,
Georgetown, Cornell, Pennsylvania
and Fordham in the East, with
such teams as Navy, Penn State,
Columbia, Rutgers, Lafayette and
Franklin and Marshall still boast
ing clean states. In the South are
Tennessee, Mississippi and Clemson:
Northwestern, Michigan and Mime
sofa, the big three" of the Big Ten,
and Notre Dame and Detroit in the
Middle West; Texas Aggies and
Texas in the Southwest and STAN
ford on the Pacific Coast.
Unbeaten but tied once or more
are Mississippi State, Kentucky.
Southern Methodist, Texas and
Southern California. Others still in
line for sectional and conference
laurels, although beaten by outsid-
ers, include Holy Cross. Villanova.
Duquesne, Duke, Washington and
Lee, Georgia Tech, Indiana; three
Big Six teams, Missouri, Nebraska
and Oklahoma; Colorado and Den
yer in the Big Seven: Rice. which
hasn't played in the Southwest
Conference, and Washington.
Since this weeks games may have
important bearings on the outcome
of the national race as we'll as con-
ference contests, here's how the
situation shapes up in various Sec
tons:
