Earlier this year, the Litken hous System came out with a rat ing of the top 10 Negro football teams which, at the stage of the season placed Shaw U. of Raleigh, N. C., atop the national standings. The early rating deserved and received a big laugh far and near. It was nothing short of a farce. I suggestel then and there that eith er the Litkenhous System sponsor should introduce himself to Negro football by availing full and com plete information Or else that Sys tem should stick-to its main func tion of rating white football with which it is familiar. Now, the Litkenhous System ‘comes out with a rating whicti places Morgan first and Morris Brown fourth. * This, alone is a monstrosity, and other weak points of the System, as applied to Negro football, pale in significance when compared to these two major fail ings. I do not propose to know the technical workings of the Litken hous System with its Difference- by-Seore method of rating teams. But I do know that any system which on the strength of records and performances in Negro foot ball in 1941, puts Morgan up front as national ^champions and releg ates Morris Brown to fourth hon ors is a travesty on justice, a downright farce, and, in my book, is the Joke of the Season. I say this, for the following reasons: 1. Morgan is the only major team in the country of champion ship caliber which plaj’ed only sev en games. 2. Morgan is the only major team ip the country of champion ship caliber which played exclu sively teams of its own loop. 3. Morgan lost to Hampton In stitute in one of the major upset.? of the season and, all told, boa*t.?l only the rather modest record of! six' wins, one loss, no ties. { 4. Four of Morgan’s sevan | games were against secon dlvisio i clubs. Against first division oppo sition, Morgan won two and lost one. o. On her own performance, Moi'- gan did not even win the chani- pionshin in its own conference. (The CIAA probably will award thi- title to Morgan, runner-up, because of ineligibility charges a gainst N. C. State whcih cause fivj games to be thrown out,) Who can see a national cham pion which is not even the outright champion of its own conference? Now, let us consider the quality of schedule played by Morgan from another piont of view. Let us look at the won and lost records of the teams which Morgan faced, as an index as to their class. This record is given below: Morgan Opponents: Team Va. t^nion Lincoln (Pa.) Bluefield M. C. Smith A. and T. ' *Hampton Va.
