mmfs B v s ?? < ra i d a ni t BOWL FOR S. W. TEAM DOUBT STILL REIGNS AA S. L. RATING (?) NAVIN DEATH STINGS EVANS QUITS CLEVELAND With North Carolina, Syracuse and Marquette now out of the run ning, who will go to the Rose Bowl? At this writing, seven major teams remain undefeated and untied. S. Methodist, Texas Christian and Cali fornia, of these seven each boasts of nine victories In the present season. Dartmouth Is fourth with eight straight wins, while New York, XJ., Princeton and Minnesota each have won seven battles. Of these only Cal ifornia hails from the West Coast, giving the Bears only Stanford ? and Monk Moscrip's toe ? to defeat for a sure invitation to represent the west in the annual classic. In the East, New York U. is not considered to be a Rose Bowl caliber team. George town, after losing to unknown Al bright, outplayed New York U. and lost to the latter only by 7-6. This game let New York U. out. Then there Is Princeton's policy of not playing post-season games, even when Rose Bowl bids are made, which lets out the Tigers. The other team, Minneso ta, is in our opinion, the strongest eleven In the country to date, but there is a Big Ten ruling that no member team is allowed to play post season games. Which is 'nuf said. No team west of the Mississippi has ever been Invited to the Rose Bowl, and the question is being raised as to whether or not S. M. U. or T. C. U. would be invited this year. In our mind, it seems that it Is only fair that Texas teams be given considera tion when the Western eleven makes its selection of opponenjt. There Is the fact to be considered that the Tex as teams arent far enough west to be given consideration as Western representatives, therefore It Is decid edly unfair that they not be given a chance to show their wares with Rose Bowl notoriety when It Is ap parent that a Texas eleven is the best east of the western zone of rep resentation. For if neither S. M. U. nor T. C. U. were given the oppor tunity to represent the East, 'when would they ever get to the Rose Bowl? The teams would have to relocate themselves in order to ever gain the mythical national title, were the Miss issippi rule to be considered. We believe that when the time comes for California (or possibly Stanford if the latter licks the Gold en Bears decisively) to select its East ern opponents, that the school's of ficials will show more plain common sense than to let a little thing like the east bank of the Mississippi serve as a barricade against what may prove to be the (strongest eleven In the country. Dartmouth hardly has the potentialities to Intrigue California. By the time some of the readers have scrutinized this column S. M. U. and T. C. U, hook up for the deciding con test of the southwest. Should either team come through in both its games, the Rose Bowl bid will in our mind, be a Just reward. Should both teams suffer scratches In the form of ties or defeats in the two-week-ends of play, then back to the east will come the bid to Pasadena. But another slant heretofore unmentioned Is the fact that Dartmouth's next opponent, played the same time of the S. M. U. Baylor and T. C. U.-Rice games, is none other than Princeton. A win for the Tigers would, coupled with defeats or ties by the southwest teams, throw the whole situation in a bad state of affairs. Should California get by Stan ford, Notre Dame would probably be the eastern choice. The Golden Bears have always wanted to play the Ram blers, and would be likely to Invite the Irish should Layden's crew get by S California. Should all of the above mentioned possible representatives of the east become holders of somewhat marred records, then you might even expect to see Alabama or Holy Cross A Three Days' Cough Is Your Danger Signal No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial Irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with anything less than Creomul sion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled. Even if other remedies have failed, dont be discouraged, your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.) out west on January 1. And there, whether you read this before or after the next game, you have a fairly good Idea of the Rose Bowl situation. Prexy Joe Engel, president of the Chattanooga Baseball Club of the Southern Association, is still working on plans for setting up the status of his team's league from class A to class AA. This move is looked upon with favor by some of the loop's repre sentative teams, while they consider it quite a risky undertaking. The In crease in status would, some feel, in crease salaries and liabilities to the point of flnancail failure, while oth ers believe that the AA rating would bring better ball players, therefore, increase attendance to the point of an improvement in financial conditions throughout the circuit. Atlanta is per haps the best minor league city in the country for attendance, and with profits for all clubs in games played in Gawgea city, all of the cities In the loop might be encouraged Into giving the proposition its chance. In talking with Mr. Engel on his last trip northward from the Lookout city, we found that, although the idea Is still In its infancy and probably would not be put across before the end of next season, it's a sure bet that with in the very near future the south will be supplied with a baseball loop the class of which is now covering the east, midwest, and Pacific Coast. The South is now producing a rapid ly increasing number of young stars along baseball lines, and surh an un dertaking, in view of the fact that a few of the old-time leagues are al ready coming back into formation as of the olden days (not so far back), would greatly increase the chances of these young players after they have made good in the qeorgia-Florida Sally, and other loops. The death a couple weeks ago of Owner Prank J. Navin of the Detroit Tigers is a shock still being felt thru out the baseball world, Navin, one of the most influential men in baseball, died just a short period of a few weeks after his charges, the Tigers of the American League, had brought a world champion team to auto city for the first time in history. It might be a good idea for some of the football elevens throughout the country who are now thinking back over practically closed seasons to re member that through the great at tendance potentialities of all football games might have brought some finan ial relief to some of suffering of the country. Already in many cities where there is more than one college, and in which two schools of the city have as yet not played against each other this season, charity games are being ar ranged, the profits of which are to go entirely to organized charity. The main opposition to the proposed plans so far has come from the athletic as sociations of the various schools, which say, "Why risk) the physical capabilities of some thirty football players when there is neither a con ference standing nor a school finan cial profit at stake?" All well and good, but do these complaints bring up the fact that throughout a season of eight to eleven games football players are playing at a risk Just as great in each game, infinitely small number of which risks prove to be either fatal or lastingly injurious to players in college circles. And in some cases schools which have their boys play for a great financial profit to the institu tion don't need the money at all for either scholastic or athletic purposes. How much better it would be if these schools in particular would devote the work and preparation for one of its season games entirely to the cause of charity. Of course where a post -sea son game would be necessary for char ity, the players themselves should be allowed to vote on the subject of how they feel about playing an added game to the schedule Just for char ity. Some may wish to play just the regular schedule, and no more. But in most cases the gridsters would be eager and willing to play another bat tle, as stated above the plan is al ready in operation in some cities. The more schools that realize the value of the plan, the better off the needy will be this winter. Genera! Manager Billy Evans ex pressed himself as surprised when his resignation as official of the Cleveland Baseball Club was accepted. Then why did he resign? The old gag about making the owner offer him miore cash per annum for his services. May be Evans will hook up elsewhere. He's a good man, but evidently wasn't in terested in his position at Cleveland other than just for the actual dough involved. Service With A Smile (and no extra charge.)
