Nomination for the best BACK IN
the state-Jim Lalanne, OF caro-
Lima. This Bayou boy with the 1lal
feet would probably rate the state S
eridiron hero of the year with a
lot of folks.
The most stunning play OF the
wear: the blocked punt which 1u-
lanes Bodney recovered and ran
for a touchdown giving the Green
Wave a 14-13 victory over Carolina.
No. l upset of the year: Again it
might be Carolina over Duke; II
might be Richmond over Carolina,
but the Wake Forest victory over
Carolina created the most talk and
1t looked pretty convincing to US.
Best run of year-Jap Davis 0o-
yard gallop through the Georgia
Tech line to give Dukes initial
score. To this list we add Claude
Hackney's 95-yard run to score for
Davidson against Duke.
Prettiest passes - The accurate
passing of Texas Christian against
Carolina. To this We might add
the two passes that set up touch
downs for Davidson against The
Citadel here last Saturday. They
we're beauties.
Sophomore of year-In this list
we are undecided on Johnny Fred
ericks, of Davidson, Moffatt Storer,
of Duke; j. V. Pruitt, Of Wake
Forest, and Johnny Pecora, of Car
DINA.
Those are just a few of the
things we remember about 1910
football. We would appreciate
hearing about your list of superla-
tives. Send them in.
Forecasting Average
Football for~ecasting, at best, is
an up and down business. Each
week for the past II weeks we
have offered personal picks for the
weekend games.
We hit the high spot with 1888
correct the first week and hit the
lowest on the weekend of Ocober
26 when we fell to .616 per cent
correct.
In all we were right on 33C
games, missed SO and had Is ties
for a seasons percentage of 1876.
The past week we guessed right
on 81, missed five and had two
ties for an 1903 average.
And that's that until next year. l

increases in the midwest, east and
Harvest more than offsetting loss
es in other sections of the country,
college football attendance for
1910 rose two and a quarter per
cent over last year.
An Associated Press survey to-
day of 81 representative schools
from every section of the country
showed a total attendance of T.
597, 342 for 800 games this year. In
1889, SO schools, playing 317 games,
reported an attendance of 7,414,-
966. The game average, however,
this year was slightly under 1899,
the figures being 1881 for 1888
and 22,7 1888 for 1910.
The midwest, despite consistent
bad weather in sections of the Big
Six conference territory, showed
the largest gain with an increase
of II per cent. Although having a
bad season, Ohio State reported
the largest attendance with 301, 931
for five games, an increase of more
than 1000 over 1899. Northwest
ern, Wisconsin, Detroit and Illinois
each playing the same number Of
home games as last year, also
showed substantial increases but
oddly enough Minnesota, Western
conference champions, fell of
some Is, 000.

ton colleges increase of $1,000 a
boost of nearly 40, 600 at Villanova
and 5000 at Cornell, reported a
rise of four per cent. Nays at
tendance showed an increase of
102, 900 but the Army's figures
dropped off that much because the
clash between the service teams
was the Middies' home game this
year.
Princeton was the only member
of the Big Three to show an in
crease. Yale, rejecting one of the
worst seasons in years, dropped
down to 1876, 900 for six games
while Harvard's figures declined
from 1873, 900 to 143, 900.
The far west, with Southern Cali
fornia drawing 305, 900 and U. c.
L. A., 294, TIT, boosted its attend
ance "a per cent.
The big decline was in the Rocky
Mountain area where, on the basis
of reports from three representa-
tive schools, there was a decline
of eight per cent. Texas, with it's
traditional game with the Texas
Aggies as drawing card. and Rice
were the only schools to show
gains in the southwest, where there
was a drop of l IL per cent.
The south likewise showed a de-
crease of 1.3 per cent with North
Carolina and Louisiana State show
ing the only sizeable gains and Tu-
lane falling off more than 80, 900.
The Greenies, however, played two
less games at home than in 1899.

Ten Of National Poll
BY BILL BONI

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-R-Min-
nesota's Golden Gophers were
voted the No. l college football
team of 1910 today in the final as
ISOLATED Press ranking poll of the
season.
At the top of the list for the
three preceding weeks, the West
ern conference champions e e
named first by IS and second by
SIS of the 1873 experts throughout
the country who took part in the
deciding vote. In all the Gophers
polled 1924 points as they took
the place won a year ago by Texas
A. & M.
The Aggies, who had been run
ners-up, dropped down to sixth
place as a result of their z to c
defeat by Texas, their only loss
of the year. Second place went tc
Stanford, the Vests unbeaten and
united Rose bowl candidate; third
to Michigan, beaten only by Min.
nesota; fourth to Tennessee, which
finished second in 1889 and for the
third straight year completed its
regular schedule without loss OF
tie, and fifth to Boston college,
No. / Eastern team which will
play Tennessee in the New Or
leans Sugar bowl on New Years
Gay.
The last four places went tc
Nebraska's Big Six champions, an
other team whipped only by Min
nesota and now booked to play
Stanford in the Rose Bowl; North
western, which lost to Minnesota
and Michigan; unbeaten but once
tied Mississippi State, the South
eastern conference entry in Mi
ami's Orange bowl, and Washing
ton, preseason favorite but end
cf-season runner-up in the Coast
conference race.
Three other teams that have
post-season engagements finished
in the second division. Santa Clara
and Georgetown, which will meet
at Los Angeles on Christmas day,
placed eleventh and 18th, respec-
lively, while Fordham. which will
go to the Cotton Bowl, rated 18th.
Minnesota gained its rank by
coming through probably the sea-
sons toughest schedule. The Cop
hers opened by licking Washington,
the Huskies afterward losing only
to Stanford; handed Nebraska and
then Michigan their only trim
mings of the season, a n d also
knocked off Ohio S e, Iowa,

ATLANTA, Dec. 2.-REWd1ldee
Wade is scheduled to get a new
five-year contract as athletic d.
rector and head football coach at

Wade's contracts have never been
officially announced by the univer-

the neighborhood of $4,000 annu-

since January, 1881. when he
moved there from Alabama.
Hugh Faust, assistant coach who
does most of the scouting for Ten

They laid their greenbacks on the

remarked nonchalantly: 20. K. we
play in the Orange bowl November

there?" He picked up the dough
and left. Mississippi played Mi
ami that date in the Orange bowl.
