Football success seems to be heredi
tary. Though practically every college
thin year loat Its leading players through
their entry Into national aervlce, six of
the teren sectional champions of 1916 re
tained their titles and moat of the varsi
ties which had established reputations
for gridiron efficiency again sent pawer
ful elevens Into the arena. Of course,
the bit: exceptions -were Harvard, Yale
nd Trlnceton. but at least one of these.
Harvard, would have met with consider
able success had It seen fit to go through
with Its Intercollegiate schedule.
For the first time In many years It Is
pssslbla to name a national champion,
niare can be no doubt about the su
premacy of the Golden Tornado from
the Georgia School of Technology. Nat
urally the championship of the South
roes to the Atlanta Engineers, too. I-a.t
year Washington and Lee, which held
Georgia Tech to a scoreless tie. entered
a half claim to the championship of
Dixie, but Tech generally was recognised
as the leader.
In the East the season of 1917 again
saw Pittsburg win the championship
which It had won so brilliantly the year
Before. In the middle West Ohio State
retained the supremacy for a second
year, and In the Missouri Valley Ne
braska again came to the fore. In the
Southwest Texas Agricultural held on
to the title for anothea year. The only
ectlonal championship which found a
new owner was that of the Pacific Coast.
Tkls year Washington State took the
title, while In ISM the University of
Oregon and the University of Washing
ton, which played a scoreless tie, shared
the top honors.
When It came to selecting r. coast rep
resentative .to meet Pennsylvania at Pas
lens, the Oregon eleven got the call.
Itcrth Oregon and Gil Doble's old team
ihia sear had to bow to Washington
State, which was coached by Lone Star
Diets, the old Carlisle Indian.
In the Rocky Mountain section the
University of Denver again was the
leading eleven. The Utah Aggies tied
Denver for the Mountain Conference
championship, but the former, with
aeven victories and no defeats, is re
garded as the stronger team. The Utah
Aggies won four games and tied one.
Georgia. Tech's Title Clear.
It seems almost a paradox that this
ear should have made possible the nam
ing of the first national champion In
years with anything 'like a clear title to
the honor. In the olden days the winner
t( the Harvard-Tale-Prlnceaon series
generally was recognised as the strong
est eleven In the country. In recent sea
ons other teams like Pittsburg. Colgate
ami nrown have risen to top heights In
the Hast, the Pacific coast has proved
its eight to consideration, the middle
West has eliown ability to cope with the
best In this section, and the South, under
Eastern coaching, also has joined the
merry throng.
Football now is a truly national came
and football strength gradually Is being
distributed more or less evenly through
out America. As far as the Pacific
roast was concerned, the Kast awoke to
that realisation when Oregon whipped
Pennsylvania ' last season and was
forced to even a ruder awakening with
regard to the South this year by Geor
gia Teeh'a overwhelming success over
.Pennsylvania and Us later triumphs.
With Georgia Tech first In America
nttshurj must be ranked second and
Ohio State thtrd. We are Inclined to
the belief that Pennsylvania, rated sec
end best in the Kast, was fourth best
in the national ranking. Whether Syra
cuse and Rutgers were any better than
Washington State for fifth place is a
question too complex to tackle. Michi
gan, Nebraska and Notre Dame are next
In order.
Pitt a Great Eleven.
Pittsburg's right to the Eastern cham
pionship is even more clearly defined
than Georgia Teeh'a national supremacy.
Pittsburg, under Glenn Warner tor a
third year, disposed of practically every
rival for the title and for the third sue
cselve season went through undefeated.
Pitt won from West Virginia by 1 to
J, from Syracuse by 28 to 0, from Penn
sylvania by 14 to 6, and from Wash
ington and Jefferson by IS to 10. It
was a powerful, 'well balanced eleven
and once more proved the coaching wlx
ardry of Warner. 'TIs true that Warner
more than any other coach was favored
by the return of such players as Seis,
Sutherland, McLaren, McCarter, Coug
ar. Carlson, Easterday and SeldeL It
was almost a foregone conclusion that
Pitt once more would emerge with the
title.
Pennsylvania Is worthy of second
(lace in the Eastern ranking not so
much because of It victories as Its
brilliant stand in defeat. The game
Penn put up against Pittsburg demon
atrated the fighting qualities of Bob Fol
well's aggregation. Its later victories
over Dartmouth, until then unbeaten,
nd Michigan, similarly successful until
It went to Philadelphia, clinched Fenn'a
right to the runner up place.
Mighty close to Pennsylvania for the
third and fourth positions come Syra
cuse and Rutgers. The work cf Rutscrs
late in the season, especially against the
Newport Naval Reserves, stamped Fos
ter Sanford'a team as one of the greatest
In the country. Rutgers might have
been awarded third place but for Its de
bit by Syracuse, 14 to 10, In Its third
game of the season.
Tills score Disregarded.
Syracuse get third place by a clear
margin not only because It won from
nuigers. After Buffering a serious set'
tck from Pitt Syracuse went about the
fork of rehabilitation In rather vigorous
and convincing style. Rally I nc with
urprialng vigor from the Pitt defeat
Syracuse gave Its first demonstration of
great power by snowing under Tufts, II
to 0. Later Tufts, stopped Dartmouth,
I to o. Then Syracuse defeated Brown,
conqueror of Colgate, and added Colgate,
the Michigan Aggies and Nebraska.
Behind Rutgers, In fifth place, comes
the Navy. Here we And the Unit real
opening for debate since West Virginia,
which defeated the Midshipmen by J to
Is placed sixth. We regard the record
of the Navy as better than Watt Vlit
ilnla's. in the first place the Navy de
bated Davidson by 27 to 0, and David
on Uter held Oeorgla Tech to II to 10
J nd won from Auburn, The Navy de
f'ated Georgetown by ,21 to 1, and any
tarn which could turn a trick like that
belonged among the top notcher.

of that Htand that Dartmouth wns Riven
a high ratine which later did not prove
Justltled. West Virginia held Rutgers
to a tie at 7 to 7, played a great came
with Pitt and defeated Washington and
Jefferron by 7 to 0.
Army Last of First Ten.
Washington and Jefferson brlruiKS In
seventh place, thoufrh sonic who saw the
great battle Sol MetsiKer'n eleven put up
against Pitt tell us that he had an eleven
that could have defeated Penmiylvania.
Brown, which beat Colgate when that
team looked like a formidable rival of
Pitt, and also disposed of Boston College
and Dartmouth, stands eighth, with Col
gate following and the Army completing
the list of the first ten.
The Army undoubtedly would havo
earned a far higher place had It had the
time for practice. Tho cadets were
greatly handicapped and, as rhown In
the defeat by Notre Dame, were crude.
The material was there. Even with the
lack of; time ifor preparation the Army
would have finished among the first six
had It had the services of Vandegraaf,
the All Southern tacklo from Alabama,
and McQuarries through the ncason.
The second ten Is headed by Dart
mouth. The brightest chapter in the
Green's story of n season completed un
der the stress and handicaps of war was
that written in the game with West Vir
ginia. After that "Cute" Spcars's men
fell boforo Pcnn, Tuftl and Brown. It
Is because of Its fine scrap against West
Virginia, Pcnn and Penn State that
Dartmouth merit the elecnth position.
Next comes Georgetown, a veteran back
field with a green line that showed somo
mighty fine football, especially against
Fordham and Lehigh.
Lehigh Is Thirteenth.
I.ehlgh, which started poorly but cot
going great guns toward the end of the
season, deserves tho thirteenth place,
with Penn State, which It defeated by 'J
to 0, in the next position. Right here we
might have Inserted West Virginia Wcs
leyan, a team composed' of Calac, the old
Carlisle Indian, and others. However,
the Wesleyans wero more or less a local,
comPtnation, ana we aeciuea io give
them no rating liere. They were beaten
by Penn (State and Washington and Jef
ferson, but defeated West Virginia for
the State championship.
Boston College was the fifteenth
strongest eleven In the ISast. Under the
tutelage of Charley Brlckley Boston
made a splendid fecord, beating Tufts
20 to 0, holding Brown to 7 to 2 and
trouncing Holy Cross, 34 to 6. Fordham,
which defeated Cornell by 27 to 6. Holy
Cross by IS to 0. Norwich by CO to 0
and the Allentown Ambulance Corps by
19 to 7. was sixteenth, with Swarthmore
following.
Next comes Williams, an eleven on
which Ben Boynton was two-thirds of
the strength and which went through un
defeated, though held to a scoreless tie
by Westeyan. Tufts follows, and then
we And Cornell.
' Fir Coraelf Defeats.
Beaten by Penn. Williams. Colgate.
Michigan and Fordham, the once proud
Big Red team made the poorest showing
any Cornell eleven ever made. In view
of the fact this fall was dus to the war
and that It saw fit to fight even under
such a handicap Cornell deserves a
world ,of credit.
The third ten Is headed by Holy Cross,
with Stevens, undefeated but tied by
New York University, In twenty-second
position. Then como N, Y, U Spring
Held, Amherst, Wesleyan and Columbia.
Arwe go Into the third ten we find
that our basts for ranking most often

Is a. comparison and cross comparison of
scores. This method Is backed by opln- .
Ion not only of our own but of coaches,
offlrlals and others who have followed
football closely In voMous sections of the
East. To these we Klvc our sincere
thanks.
Because Colby, which lot to Brown
by 19 to 7, was the only Maine eleven
which played outside tho State wc could
not rate any of the down East colleges.
Trinity played only two college elevens
held N. Y. U. to a scoreless tla and lost
to the Yale "Informals," 7 to 0, so wc
had very Uttlo basis for ranking there.

Blizzard Sweeps Sound
as N.Y.A. C. Gunners Shoot
In the midst of a blizzard that swept
down Long Island Sound the. gunners of
the New York Athletic Club held their
usual week end shoot over their Travers
Island traps yesterday. The conditions
were the most difficult of the season.
Not only was it bitterly cold on tho fir
ing line, but the snow was driven Into
tho faces of the gunners by a strong
northeast wind that made It exceedingly
difficult to ?cc the tiny blue rocks.
The conditions arc best illustrated by
the fact that not a slnglo gunner had a
straight string ot 2.1 targets and few had
full r-cores with their handicaps. There
was a tie In both tho race' for the high
scratch and the high handicap prises. In
the former Frank H. Stephenson, the
Brooklyn gunner, who has boen doing
excelltnt shooting this year, and former
champion It. I.. Spotts racli broke SS
out of a posslblo 100 targets. It was re
markable shooting considering the con
dition!!. The shootofT was taken by the
former champion.
Tie for Handicap Trophy.

Great Showing Made by 1916
Football Players.
Philadelphia, Dec. 8. Football sta
tlstlcn collected by the athlctlo authori
ties of the University of Pennsylvania
show that with the exception of two men
who were rejected for defective eyesight
every member of the 1916 team' and the
first nine substitutes are In the national
war service.
"The records made by Pennsylvania
football men," said M, J. Pickering, the
graduate manager, "show conclusively,
in our opinion, that Pennsylvania's stand
In maintaining football and other sports
has stimulated enlistment rather than
retarded It. Not only that, but It has
been of the greatest benefit to the stu
dents who have remained. In addition
to the almost unanimous enlistment ot
our athletes In football, track, rowing,
baseball, Ac, our student body has given
approximately 2,000 undergraduates to
the war service."

New. Orleans, Dec. S. The tia.ss of
thoroughbreds which competed at tho
Jefferson Parish track this afternoon
was much better than any since the
meeting began,. Two handicap", the
Sheriff Marrero at six furlongs and the
Iceland at ono mile and .1 sixteenth,
attracted small but rather select tlelds.
Kach resulted in a stirring contest.
The Dixieland was for all ages and
went to M. C. Moore's five-year-old I
brown gelding Marlon Goosby. He
carried top weight with 120 pounds and
was ridden by W. Keisay. The little1
jockey held him oft tho early pace and
reserved his speed for the final drive.
In the stretch he gave Marlon Goosby
his head and the gelding went to the
front and won in clever fashion. Libyan
Hands, which carried the silks of August
Belmont two years ago, finished second
and F, O. Goode's Warsaw was third.
Tho surprise of the race was the fact
that Iluens failed to cam any part of
tho purse. H. Wattcrrou's old brown
horf-e dlil not run his raco and was
beaten off.
The Sheriff Marrero Handicap also
wa-s an nil ago affair. It was won by
C. K. Holland's three-year-old gelding
Assume. Frankle Uoblnson sent hjni
kay frim the harrier on his toe; n4
held him in a commanding position
throughout, At the end he was an easy
victor, with W, C Capps's Murphy
second and W. Perkins's First Ballot
third. Assume was the favorite for the
event and was heavily backed at 7
to10.
Tho handlcappors had a good day
financially. There were no surprises
and four of the winners were favorites.
They wero Producer, 9 to 5, In the first

As in former years the contest was
remarkably fast, especially in the second
half. The tlrt half ended with 'the
visitors leading by 16 to 9. The locals
played a much better game in the second
period and soon tied things up. Pro

BIG FINX IS DOWNED
Sula Hevonpaa last night nearly broke
up the wrestling tournament at the Lex
ington Theatre by refusing to go on
with "Strangler" Lewis unless the
dreaded head lock was barred. Al
though the strangle hold Is the only
lock barred by the tournament rules,
many of the competitors object to the
"Strangler'a" head lock as more severe
than the throat hold.
Bather than disarrange the pro
gramme, Lewis waived his rights and
went on with the head lock barred. It
was a vicious combat. George Bothner
warning the Finn to keep his fingers out
of Lewis's eyes. The Finn then look
the strangle on !wls and the refereo
was compelled to tear loose his clutch.
After considerable rough work by both
sides Lewis put the Finn on his knees
with a neck hold nnd0trlp and pinned
hfm to the mat with a half nelson ami
crotch' In 15;.H. The Finn's defeat
pleased the spectators.
Harold Christiansen found that Karl
Pospisii, the giant llmarlnn, was a dif
ficult proposition nnd n draw was the
best he could do. Christiansen Is con
ceded to be quite an clever nnd scientific
as any man In the tourney, hut he lacks
weight, scaling at 190 pounds to 210 by
Pospisii. The Swede clamped some flue
locks on Pospisii, hut larked the power
to, force his man tn a fall. In the mat
ter of defence Christiansen Is a second
Bothner.
Kbyszko had a haid tussle with Hjal
mar Johnran. but finally subdued him
with u double leg hold In 25:30. Ivan
Llnow, the CoRsack, threw Carl Bush
so hard that the lalter's right arm was
severely wrenched nnd lie was compelled
to quit.
John Frcberg of Chicago and Cyclone
Burns of Boston, two well matched ath
letes, engaged in a spirited contest full
of ground and lofty tumbling. Each
was in danger rt number, of times from
dangerous seizors and toe holds, hut
neither could pin the shoulders of his
opponent. The bout lasted the limit of
twenty minutes.
The first hearty laugii of the night
was due to the nntlci of Carl VogeJ.
Saxonlan, and Tommy Draal; of Hol
land. In grotesque actions Vogel fs a
close rival of Suln Hevonpaj. and Draak
met him more than half way. They
wrestled all over the stage, knocking
down the scenery and causing an up
roar. They kicked and cuffed each other
according to go as you please, rules, and
Iteferee Boche had a busy time. Draak
finally dumped Vogel with a cross but
tock and pinned him with a head lock
and armhold In S :4S.
I'lerro Ie CV.osse. the French belie
moth, was compelled to quit owing to
an Injury nfter wrestling nine minute
and flfty-fie seconds with Pierre Le
Beige.
BAY SHADES DUNDEE.
Pittsburg; Boarr Scores Over Local

Pnti.ADSi.rHtA. Pa.. Dec. S. Johnnv
Bay. the Pittsburg sailor, shaded Johnnv
Dunde, the fighting Scotch Wop. to
night in one of the most gripping bouts
ever seen In the National A. C. The ver
dict wav won by the closest margin, and
only a. strong tally by Bay in the tln.il
rounds of the affair decided the issue In
his favor. So gripping was the battlo
that during the last tlireo rounds vli
tually the whole house stood and yelled
lustily as each boxer displayed especial
cleverness. .
In tbe fourth round Tlay landed an
uppercut that knocked n tooth out of
Dundee's mouth. Bay took the two Inst
periods by beating his opponent to the
punch repeatedly as the battle pro
gressed. Ray's blows were worth two of
Dundee's, and gradually Ray tightened
un his defence.
