EASTERN SHOW
GETS INTEREST
DURING SEASON
Panthers, Navy And
Fordham Draw
Attention
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—m— The
eastern Intercollegiate football
show, starring Jock Sutherland’s
Pitt Panthers, Navy’s novelty troupe
and Jimmy Crowley’s late lamented
Fordham R&ms, this year took the
intersections! spotlight away from
the mid-west and southwest.
Although shaded. 11 games to S,
by major midwestem teams, the
east won 25 and lost 17 for an av
erage of .595 while the midwestem
ers won 17 and lost 14 for .548.
The southwest, leader last year
with 11 won and 5 lost, won nine
and lost the same number this year
and occupied third place with the
Rocky Mountain boys who won two
and lost two. The south was next
with 12 and 18 (.400) and the far
west last with 3 and 8 (.273.)
Pitt, just another ball team in its
own home town, had the moet im
pressive intersectional record, beat
ing Ohio State 6-0, Notre Dame
26-0 and Nebraska 19-6. Minnesota
had a good start with a 14-7 win
*over Washington and a 47-19 vic
tory over Texas but had to devote
most of its time to attending to its
neighbors.
Fordham. beating Southern
Methodist, St. Mary’s and Purdue
and tying Georgia, took a wider
swing than anybody else. Navy,
looking to the south, beat William
and Mary, Davidson and Virginia
before kicking Notre Dame's Irish,
3-0.
Though Michigan’s only victory
of the season was a 13-0 conquest
of Columbia, the Wolverines’ 10
year undefeated intersectional rec
ord wTas smashed by Penn, 27-7.
