    Florida and Tennessee Also Have Indicated and United Records. MARYLAND BEATS YALE DKieIand Outfits Take Many Grid HonorS. NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-This begins to look rather like the South’s year in football. AS the 1928 gridiron season draws toward a close, three great southern eleVens stand out, unbeaten and I’M tied, IN a year which has been so marked with upsets and reversals of form that the experts are crowding the BOBBY matches even earlier than usual Florida, Tennessee and Georgia Tech have clean States for a season which has been heart-breaking to football ambitions in all parts of the country. IL May Make History Bill Alexander’s Georgia Tech team, victorious over Notre Dame, may make gridiron history before it is through, while Florida and Ten neSSee are to meet in climatic struggle on Dec. 8, the closing day of? the season. The Golden Tornado whisked Vanderbilt right out of the column OF unbeaten and united teams on q Saturday, blasting the Tennesseans’ . title hopes in the Southern Confer ence to the tune of 10 to Z. Florida eliminated Georgia, 26 to 6, while Tennessee beat Sewanee, 81 to 0. y In the matter of intersectionaI games, the south has not been uni formly successful, but it’s smaller = teams have gone out of their class. - Maryland, for example, went out of ? its class to play Yale last Saturday. Oh, yes, incidentally winning over the Ellis, 6 to 0. tt Merely Measuring While comparative scores in foot ball lead the comparer only to a padded cell, the strength of Georgia Tech can be measured intersection ally by its 10 to over the same Notre Dame eleven which mopped up the tattered turf of Yankee sta dunn with the Army in Saturdays outstanding game. Notre Dame out played the Cadets from start to finish of desperately fought game, to win, II to 6. = AS compared with the south, the east boasts but two eIevens which have won all their games, Carnegie Tech, conqueror of Georgetown, Is to 0; Saturday, and Boston college, which was to meet Fordham today.
