moment, if possible, tn service
football teams, generally speaking
are on the top level; the college
teams with trainees ON the second
level, and the civilian teams on the
bottom.
Naturally there are executions
with teams in the second or third
class knocking off teams in the
first class. Ohio State again is ex-
hibit "A''. as the civilian bucks
number among their victims a good
Great Lakes eleven.
But on the whole you can pick
class "A"~ teams over class "B"
and clas "B" teams over class
&c" and not SC far wrong.
From purely competitive stand
point it probably would be better
to have the service teams confine
their opposition to service teams,
the colleges with trainees confine
their games to similarly equipped
squads. etc. But there are obvious
barrie ades against such a proce-
cure the manner in which the
teams of the different classes are
scattered over the country, for one
thing.
So if the war should continue
through another autumn, we can
look for another epidemic of one
sided scores, with teams going out
of their class to play for the simple
req son they want to play and they
must play schools fairly close at
hand, regardless of any difference
in strength.
Returning to Army and Navy, we
aren't sure just where they belong.
Maybe on level topping the other
three Maybe right along with the
service teams. Certainly not below
that, although we know that Navy
lost an early-season game to Geor-
gia Tech, a civilian-trainee team.

well-executed triple reverse and
dashed 81 yards for. the score.
Outstanding on the Blue Bri-
gade eleven was Presswood, Nor
ris and Goodwin. jenkins led the
Bears both extensively and de-
fensively, with Roger Dukes and
Johann Sloan displaying much abb
lily also.
