The records will also show that, some of the other teams have no ties. . However, unaccustomed as I am to Understanding, I have decided that it’s about time to bring the flat heel or common sense system to bear on the ma tional championship in football. This method does not name the champion. It merely asks you to beat team that has just fin ished a schedule, including Mich igan State, Cornell, Ohio State, Chicago, Illinois, Iowa, Mime sofa and Northwestern. At least six other teams sur vived Saturdays games undefeated, the list including Duke, which beat North Carolina State, 7 to o; the Army, which beat the Navy, IL to Z; Minnesota, which beat Wisconsin, 6 to 3, and Centenary, which beat Mississippi, 7 to 6. But these scores only show that the winners were forced to the limit by what was supposed to be inferior oppositon, and in at least two in stances the winners were. in a sense, outplayed. One of them was the Army, which, except for Johnson’s 82-yard run and a long march for a second touch down, was on the defensive all day. The other, Minnesota, could not have won except for a goal line tumble. AS for Princeton, it only welded touchdown for the first time this year in beating Rutgers, 26 to 6, while Louisiana State stayed up with the leading flight by peat ing Mississippi State. 81 to 6: But neither of this pair has played too rigorous a schedule, nor have any of the others by contrast with Michigan. The only exception that might be noted is Minnesota, which has been good and bad by alternate Saturdays. It happened to be good against Michigan week ago and the Wolverine was glad enough to take a tie that day. AS matter of fact, there are any number of defeated teams I’ll match with some or all of the leaders on current form. Tennessee would be one. stan ford, which won the Coast title on Saturday, by beating Califor. MIA, 7 to 3, would be another. Nebraska, winner over Iowa, 7 to 6, is a third and, naturally, Pitt is a fourth.
