NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The
dizziest football season of them all,
complicated by the uncertainties of
war, had all but run its course to-
day, leaving coaches, players and
fans convinced that the definition
of armed conflict by fellow named
Sherman was masterpiece of I'M
reinstatement.
In spite of an unprecedented
quota of form reversal, all sections
of the country have succeeded in
browning champions except the
Pacific Coast, where they may need
another two weeks and the help of
a bloodhound to find a conference
titlist and host team for the Rose
Bowl game.
Although there still are few odds
and ends to be picked up elsewhere,
the remainder of the country saw
the screwy campaign stagger to
what amounted to a finish Saturday
and unload what surprises it had
left on an unsuspecting public.
Several Loud Explosions.
Holy Cross, 4to-1 underdog,
crushed Boston Colleges previously
unbeaten Eagles, 55-12. Navy pinned
a 14~0 defeat on an Army team that
was favored at 3 to l. And Georgia,
humbled by Auburn the week before,
bounced back to ruin Georgia Techs
spotless record, $40.
All told, the days activities added
to the lineup of conference cham
pions until now it looks this way:
Western-Ohio State.
Ivy League-Pennsylvania.
Southeastern-Georgia.
Big Three-Yale.
SouthWest-TeXas.
Big SiX-MisSouri.
Southern-William and Mary.
Missouri Valley-Tulsa.
Big Seven-Utah and Colorado
(tie).
Pacific CoaSt-Still undecided
Washington State lost a chance
to clinch tie for the Pacific Coast
crown by playing a scoreless dead
lock with Washington Saturday,
leaving U. G, L. A. on the inside track
with four victories and one defeat.
Southern California, which still has
chance for a title tie. plays
Montana this week and U. c. L. A.
meets Idaho in conference play
Then U. S. C. collides with the
Uclans December IL in what looms
as the deciding game.
The Pacific Coast champ, when
selected, will 60 into the Rose Bowl,
January /, against Georgia, which
was invited soon after its Saturday
victory, clinching the Southeastern
Conference title.
Tulsa's Record Unique.
Tennessee closed its season with a
1877 triumph over Vanderbilt and
was named to play in the Sugar
Bowl against Tulsa, Missouri Valley
champion and only major team with
an all-victorious record.
With the Southwest Conference
title tucked away. Texas has quail
flied for the Cotton Bowl and
Georgia Tech has been invited as
the other team. Both are expected
to make their decisions today.
In Saturdays Southwest Confer
ence games, Rice BANKED Baylor,
300. and Texas Christian whipped
Southern Methodist. l4-6. The loop
will close its season with S. M. U.
playing Rice Saturday, although
Texas A. and M. has an intersec-
tional date with Washington State
the same day.
Ohio State, the Big Ten champion,
finished with convincing Alp vic
tory over Iowa Pre-Flight, which
still has a game with Missouri this
week Michigan closed the Big Ten
campaign by stopping Iowa, 28-14.
Notre Dame BANKED Southern Cali
fornia, 1870, and ties into Great
Lakes Naval this week.
Other games Saturday send Will
liam and Mary's Southern Confer
ence champions to Oklahoma, which
finished second in the Big Six when
Nebraska was upset by Kansas
State, 1910, and San Francisco to
Mississippi State. ST. Mary's Pre-
Flight, whipped by Stanford, 1918,
tackles California Sunday.
