Only the south failed to produce anything that could be deemed a climax. in consequence Of which Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, Florida and tennessee remain the recognized authorities, with Georgia also well placed as far as the actual conference race is concerned.

Princeton, of course, was a much improved outfit on Saturday, so this ranking is no slight of Ohio State prestige or that of the Big Ten in gen. eral. In fact, il Princeton beats Yale they won’t be able to read the Tiger out of eastern consideration with the aid OF a loud speaker. Eastern ! and conference prestige broke right
