" "'IRISH" IS SURPRISE
(By Kenneth Cook)
t the Thanksgiving Day
Jmtt left, the football season in the
Sed States can be said to have
one of the best known. Two

JrTt Is the immense crowds that have
Zn the gam8- Every major 8cho1
Tthe country has had a huge in
itta over last years crowds. Tar
liouVly is this noticeable at the
IhooU with new stadiums. The huge
Trowds do not seem to be only in one
-ction of the country, but in every
Lotion, showing that the sport closely
rivals baseball as a national recrea
tion. A few examples of the crowds
California and Stanford drew
t 000. Chicago and Illinois drew
iflW Michigan and Wisconsin
inw 44.000. Yale and Princeton
w 80,000.
The second feature to mark this
games is the large number of
jpsets that have occured. Chief
jmong these can be numbered the 14
to 7 defeat handed Notre Dame by
Nebraska. After winning by decisive
ores from three major elevens in
fowecutive games, the Catholics
ame west to lose to the Husker
tm. Syracuse after playing brill
iant ball all season and having their
god line uncrossed, were defeated
ky Colgate 16 to 7 after Colgate had
fcowed to the Navy 9 to 0. Cali
fornia undefeated in four years and
giin the Pacific Coast , champions
'were held to a scoreless tie by the
JittJe-heard-of University of Nevada
Xetm. Middlebury a small Massachu
setts school came out of obscurity
long enough to hold Harvard to a
t to 6 tie.
The Big Ten conference closed its
seson with last Saturday's games.
Illinois stands out as the strongest
lean in the conference by virtue of
I conference victories with no de
feats. Michigan also undefeated has
a strong team having won 4 confer
ence games, lost none, and won 4
games outside the conference. Corn-
Won Lost Tie percent
Illinois 5 0 0 1000
Michigan 4 0 0 1000

parative scores show both teams to
be of about equal calibre and a irnmn
between the two would draw an ex
ceptionally largo crowd. Chicago
also stands as a strong team having
lost but one game, to Illinois 7 to 0.
Iowa after a good Btart, failed to
show enough stuff to finish the seas
on in good shape, winning three early
season games and losing as many late
season contests. Minnesota after
going thru the season undefeated
were defeated by Michigan 10 to 0.
Wisconsin also showed good material
but were unable to win games. North
western and Purdue had a great fight
for the celler position. Purdue sav
ing herself from this place by a 3
to 0 defeat of the former.
The final standings in the
ference were:
con-
In the East some wonderful teams
have been developed. As usual Army
and Navy produced strong elevens,
altho neither team finished the seas
on witnout a defeat. Yale stands
as the leading undefeated team in the
East Winning from Harvard, Prince
ton and Army by decisive scores the
Hull Dogs seem to be about the best
in the East. Washington and Jeffer
son, Pitt, Penn State, Colgate, Penn
U. are teams which have come thru
hard schedules with few defeats.
Syracuse is also one of these teams
having won from some of the strong
est eastern teams and the strong Ne
braska eleven. Cornell is still an un
defeated team but they have not
played the major elevens that the
others have. West Virginia is also
a strong undefeated eleven but their
record has one mar in a 13 to 13
tie with Penn State.
In the South, no especially strong
team has been developed but Ala
bama, Alabama Poly, Georgia Tech
Centre and Vanderbilt have come
through the season with few defeats
and having shown some real footbalL
The Missouri Valley has had an
odd season of it, many of the games
ending in ties. Nebraska and Kansas
U. still are undefeated with little
prospect that either team will lose
their Thanksgiving Day contests.
In the Rocky Mountain conference
Colorado U and Colorado Aggies de
veloped strong teams the latter play
ing 10 to 0 with Chicago early in the
senson.
On the Coast California again
reigns supreme keeping their record
of no defeats in four seasons. The
Californians were however held to a
scorless tie by Nevada and did not
have things as easy this year as in
past seasons. Washington U., Wash
ington Aggies, Nevada and Stanford
rank among the leading teams of the
country.
As for individual team playing the
game this year seemed to develop
more line work than any other phase
of the game. California. LUinois,
Syracuse and California were types
of teams that played a heavy line and
featured them in their play. Notre
Dame, Colgate, Nebraska, Michigan
and many other taems relied more on
their offense than these other teams
but were also able to show a strong
defense, especially the Nebraskans
whose line actually outplayed the
famous Syracuse line. Passing feat
ured many of the games, and proved
a major feature in the scoring of
most teams. Punting and goal kick
ing was also stressed and the seas
on saw some wonderful kickers de
veloped, chief among them Layden of
Notre Dame who averaged over 50
yards on his punts and McBride of
Syracuse who drop kicked against
practically every Orange opponent.
Individual players are to be found
on almost every team and the writer
hesitates to pick a mythical eleven.
Suffice to say that the season has de
veloped some wonderful teams and
players and is in a measure one of
the most successful that the gape has
known.
The first state-wide gathering of
Wisconsin foundrymen and men of
the metal industries was held at the
University of Wisconsin this year.
Track was the most popular sport
at the University of Wisconsin last
year 2,017 took part in it.
More than 1,300 calls for teachers
were received by the committe on
high school relations of the University
of Wisconsin this year.
More than 400 courses of study are
given in the summer session of the
University of Wisconsin.
