A crr.wd of 50,00 was a conven tionality.

Snnvn OutMnndlng Achievements. From an International .standpoint, the y ar perhaps lacked many of the cu'. -landing accomplishments of its Immediate predecessor, but It wis not altogether without its big momenta of this kind.

In some cases even sectional leadership was In dispute. In tho east, for example, Prlncfe ton, Cornell, the Army and West Virginia completed unbeaten sea sons, and each feels that It has a valid claim to tho championship.
