PITT, GEORGIA TECH AND OHIO STATE
SHOULD BE ARRANGED THIS YEAR
'Teams Hold Undisputed Titles in East, West and
South, and Could Arrange Games for Benefit
of Red Cross or Some Other War Charity
f
Fan the flrst llmc '" ll,c ,lIstol'' of Hi" Biimc, football wilt bo pl.ivcd throughout
l!ie month of December tills year. The numerous army unit navy teams aru
rjjst rounilluK Into shape nml will play n scries of (tames among themselves to
title the championship or hutcer they want to settle, flames aru scheduled
rti rntla(lc,'lllla up l0 Dccc,",,or ,"1- l,ni1 Hio chanres are some teams will kci
Wt'her on l)ccem,,cr "' l'lirlstnlus '""I N'cw Year's. Thus we will have fout
'iilU roonlhH of the grldlion sport and the came will not suffer.
1 Jt lias been maintained for a long tlmo that the foptball season Is enliiel.x tuo
ihort. The teams never set going until the lirst of October, and that gives us onl
lo months of it. Then, when It is considered that only one same n week is
Vaed. It can easily be seen that the football fan sees only eight or ten contests
leforo the curtain drops. It would not hurt the came to extend the schedules
ip to the middle of December, as It would give the college teams a chance to pla
lmore games, cover u larger territory and perhaps discover which team is entitled
'to the championship without resorting to the. ravlng-i of the dopestcrs. An addi
tlonal two weeks would allow the bcxt'te.ims In the llast, West and South to play
series of Rallies and select a national tltleholder. This year, for example, Ramos
could be arranged between Ohio State, Western Conference champions: lieorgla
Tech, southern champions, and the University of Pittsburgh, champions of the
EMt. The teams could draw lots to seu which pair would play llrst and the
winner would play the third eleven. Needless to say, wldespicad Interest would
&? aroused, us It virtually would be u football viorld series and draw a legtilar
world series thrum;.
" ...
CONDITIONS arc ideal for a set of sanies of that kind this car. The.
colleges even havo an excuse to play, for the Ited Cross and other
war charities are anxious to raise as much money as possible. Also,
with Christmas cumins on. the boys in the. tervlco will appreciate a few
gifts which could bo purchased with part of the Bate, receipts. Another
thing to be considered is this: No ono doubts or disputes Georgia Tech's
claims to the southern title; Ohio State i-cored a clean-cut victory In the
West and Pitt stands alone In tho East. Why not try. out this idea
this j ear?
Wilmer Crowell Favors a Longer Football Season
WILMUIt O. CKOWELIi, Swartlimore's famous quarterback, football olllcial
and former coach at Lafayette College, forgot his Insurance business for a
time when we asked what he thought of prolonging tho season and staging cham
pionship gomes. "The Idea is excellent," he said, "andio doubt would increase
Interest in the game. In baseball we all know who won the cliar.iplimship, be
awe the best two teams light It out after the season end-. In football It should
o way. There is no reason why tho season should not be extended two
three weeks. Theie an- many reasons for this. In the Mist place, the weather
ibvajs Is good, ns tho cold spells and snow seldom i each this section of the country
Kfore the llrst of the jeur. That does away with the inclement weather argu
ment. Secondly, tho teams are Just going at top speed when the season ends on
Ttianksgix lug Day. L'p to that tlmo we read of the mistakes which will be cor
rected bcfoie the llnal game and wonder what would happen it an enorless game
football were played some time. If the teams continued to play after Thanks
living perhaps some games would be played without the usual excuses.
. "As for the world series plan, I am heartily in favor of it. There arc three
tiUtandlng teams this year and some leal lootball would be played If they got
ijether I would 'suggest that Ohio State play Georgia Tech and the winner
eet Pittsburgh. Pitt's record is much hotter than either of these elevens, as
le has played tho hardest teams In the country and has not been defeated in
i iree years.

IBucknell Weakened in Game With Dickinson
T LEAST two regulars on the Uueknell football team will bo out of the big
L game with Dickinson next Thursday. The unexpected strength of Gettys

tie several of the men were Injured. In the, second play of the game Waddell

i yet over. When play was resumed Captain Newcomb received a cut over the

The game with Dickinson sshould be a hard one, ns both teams have made
eptlonallv good records this year. JJucknell started off by beating Swarthmore,
after that met mobt of tho big colleges in the Dast. In each gamo tho team
Je a good showing. Dickinson, on the other hand, has not played so many
