Perm's Team Second te Nene in Spirit
F' NO way is it pi-dble te ileterr.i i.e w;iere California heuld itnnd In the
ranking, bur if the Pacific Ce.i'-t champleni pl-iyed eitlier Princeton or
Cernell our menej would go down en the teams representing the East. We
might lese though we don't think we would but we would be assured a
battle that would he entirely sitNfncterj.
Right here, ulwi, we want te declare that our ranking i chiefly baed en
comparative Fcore. Venn's ffchtln? eleven, at the tiip of it.s development,
Blight have licked any team in the world perhap would have done se. It li
no discredit te the Quaker te be p'aced 'e far down the line In thi ranking;
If spirit and courage alone were nun-Mend, the lied and Hlue would be at or
ery near the top.
Because Princeton, Cernell, Iowa and California wen nil their game,
we ranked them in the order namd. New it is proposed te consider ether
elevens that had a iine record en the gridiron. First aie West Virginia, Army
and Michigan, tennis that were lied but escaped defeat.
West Virginia, coach"! by Tubby Spears, was n great tenm and traveled
through a hard schedule with only a 1--1- tie in the game with WahIngten
and Lee te mnr its ste. Victories ever Pittsburgh. !-0; Rutgers, "s-0;
Indiana, 8.1 -0, and Virginia, i:i-0. and the final triumph ever W. and ,T
14-0, proved the class of the Mountain" er. Tliey get fifth place.
Army is placed sixth because they tackled elevens far nnd wide, escaped
defeat nnd came through with a magnificent win ever their traditional rivals
from the Navy te provide a climax, for their grid campaign. A team that ties
Tale nnd Notre Dame, beats Kansas and Auburn and live ether mere or lees
capable elevens, nnd then outfights the Annapolis Middies, is entitled te be
aerleusly considered in ranking the teams, and one might net go far wrong if
he steed the West Pointers just below Princeton and Cernell.
Michigan had a great tenm. Eastern fans did net see them this season,
but their impressive victories in Conference battles stamp Yest's men ns
game nnd bright gridiron players. The Wolverines were tied by Vanderbilt,
Therefore they cannot expect te be given the highest honors in an all -country
mythical ranking. We put them below six ether teams in seventh place
because, while we didn't see them play, we de net believe 'bey would bent nny
f the elevents given the first tix places. And that's thnt.
T IS a peculiar fact that amemj the big team that played really
hard tchrdules ire de net find one that iron all garnet errcpt one.
Syracuse, .Node Dame and Chica'u each wax defeated enre and tied.
However, ier feel that at this point tec mutt depart .lewcirhat from
the actual records of the team and endeavor te measure them en
what they did in important games.
Pitt Defeated Twice
PITTSBURGII lest two games, their conquerors being Lafayette by 7-0
and West Virginia by 0-5. However, Pittsburgh comes next in our cham
pionship list because of the Ul-lt victory ever Syracuse, that 7-6 win ever
Penn and the 14-0 triumph ever Penn State, net te mention the 7-0 bump
of Bucknell.
Syracuse, with the defeat by Pittsburgh and 0-0 ties with Penn State
And Brown, the only blnck marks en Its stiff schedule, gets the next position,
r'nlnth. Chicago, beaten by I'rinceten and tied by Wisconsin, stands tenth.
Ketre Dame, licked by Nebraska and held te a scoreless tie by the Army, Is
tBtltled te eleventh place.
New we cemu te teams that might have earned higher places but cer
tainly would net ask them in view of what happened. First Is Lafayette, a
team that wen hard games with Pitt, Bucknell, Bosten College, Rutgers and
Lehigh. The 14-13 victory that W. nnd J. get ever Sutherland's Enstenians
,alfbt net count se heavily, but the fact remains that Lafayette did net have
the line old driving power In the game with Lehigh, which was wen by the
narrow margin of a field goal, and then lest te Oeorgetown last Saturday 13-7.
Xtfayette was due te stand at or near the top of the list this year, but fiankly
fcer finish makes It Impossible, in our opinion, te plnce her ahead of any of the
eleven teams previously ranked.
Penn gets the thirteenth rung en the ladder. The Quakere had enough
1 Jfeht te beat the Navy and Penn State and In scoring power were as geed as
Pitt, each eleven getting a touehdewn Warner's team get the try-for-pelnt
ad Helsman's kicker failed. And there was no disgrace attached te that
0-0 defeat at the hands of Cernell.
The Nnvy, victorious ever Penn State, Georgia Tech and Bucknell, came
two croppers, both en Franklin Field, being downed by Penn and the Army.
Therefore, while we liked the fighting spirit and attacking strength of Folwell's
Middies, they could net be put higher than fourteenth, in our opinion.
Harvard, because she beat Centre and Yale, Is given the fifteenth place,
although she lest te Brown 3-0 and Princeton 10-3. The Crimson did net
laek one atom superior te nny of the elevens found ahead of it in the ranking.
Tale, beaten by Iowa, Harvard and Princeton, gets sixteenth position. The

The "Hit" That Gave Ty .400
TIH3 official averages show that Ty Cobb hit .400 for the third time la bis
career. These figures will go down in the receni books and they can nem
be changed.
It wns through the grace of Ban Jehnsen that the renowned Georgian wsi

from .300 te .401. urw
According te the official averages at the end of the season, Cobb had 210
hits, but he wns awarded another by Big Ban se that his percentage would read
the prcdeus .400 mark.
It was fine sentiment that prompted the president of the American Leant
te this action. He wanted the Detroit veteran te gain his objective when he u
se close, but such practice Is net for the geed of the game. '
The official scorer gnve Everett Scott an error instead of n hit for Cobb en
the disputed piny nnd the Baseball Writers' Association of America are plnnnlBs

If the league executive is going te overrule the official scorer whenever hi
pleases why ha'e an official scorer. The difference between nn Infield hit and nn
error is a matter of individual opinion and every scorer favors the hitter u
fnr os possible.
KTE DOUBT If there is any one connected with baseball who I net
VV (lad te see Cobb credited again with a .400 average, but the deci

Sportsmanship of the Spectators
HOOTS and Jeers are raised in earnest pretest against any display of peer
sportsmanship en the nthletlc field. The spectators demand that athletes

Hew about the same demands being made upon the spectators? In New Yerk
recently n judge at a boxing bout was assaulted after be had rendered hit if '

game.
The decision of the New Yerk Judge did net meet with the approval el
some of the fans and the verdict of the soccer referee ln awarding a penalty Hrls
which wen the match was considered unfair by a few of the onlookers. Tin
spectators backed their opinions with crimiual attacks.
These attacks en officials disgrace sports. The spectators cannot nt
standards of sportsmanship for the performers and then net lire op te them
themselves.
There is as much of a demand for fair play among the fans as there is ameni

The officials may have erred In their decisions and It Is the fans' privilege te
disapprove, but by no stretch of ethics could en attack en the nrblters Se
