Quality Since 1887 1939'S GRID BESTS; IS UP T0 FIGURES ; | 'American Football Stafis- fical Bureau Shows Surprises By GAIL FOWLER SEATTLE, Feb. 12. — The back door is as good as any, just so you get in, and Ohio State used the ! tradesman’s entrance to become not !only the Big Ten football champion | but the nation’s 1939 leader in of- fense as well. Figures compiled by the American Football Statistical Bureau showed | | that Ohio State—winner of the Big Ten title even as it lost its last game 'to Michigan—took top position on| offense while two leaders during/ ! most of the season, Tennessee and Southern California, ran into tro- ble in the closing weeks. | - The Bureau’s figures showed these |other “bets.” i | Defensive team: San Jose ( State. 1 Ball carrier-passer: Kenny Wash- {ington, U.CLL.A. Pass catcher: Louisiana State. Punting team: Auburn. The AFSB, set up to provide a yardstick for college football per-| formances through the medium of statistics compiled by a standard system, has just come up with fi- nal tabulations ‘in all branches of play after months of wading through | figures turned in from practically every major college. This is how they stacked up in the various departments: Tennessee slipped to second place in the total offense department mainly because the Vols wound up with a net loss from rushing against Vanderbilt. Southern California | skidded to fourth after its 9-7 win jover Washington and 0-0 tie with U. C. L. A. Mississippi eventually slipped into third place. Average Is Lowe: | The Bureau ranks total offense team leaders on the average per game. Ohio State’s mark was 3093, | well below Fordham’s 3416 in 1938 and Colorado’s 3754 in 1937. Ten- | nessee averaged 308.3 yards, Missis- | sippi 3078 and Southern Cal. 307. | Wake Forest was a close fifth with 306.2. The lower average for the top calit) | Ben Kavanaugh, two factors: Tougher, more uniform opposition and lack of an outstand- ing u‘dtvxdal ground gainer like Colorado’s Whizzer White in 1937. As to the best defensive team, you really have two choices. If you fa- vor a small school which went through 13 games and held its oppo- sition—some of it admittedly not too robust—to an average of 71.3 yards per game by land and air, your team is San Jose. ' If you favor a big school which held its 10 foes—mainly from the tough Southwest Conference—to 76.3 yards per game, you'll pick Texas A. and M. Those two were the only teams to limit the opposition to less than 100 yards a game on the aver- age. Tennessee, unscored upon during the regular season, ranked third with a 102.3 mark—and they say the Vols didn't bother to present their real defense until the opposition moved in as far as the 20-yard line. Alabama’s mark in 1838 of 779 is above the 1939 best but Santa Clara’s 11937 defensive mark of 69.9 yards re- mains first in the bureau’s ranking over the three-year period it has been checking the figures. Boston _College, with .102.9, and Georgetown, with 1182, ranked fourth and fifth in the defensive ranks. Harmon Best Runner While U.C.LA/'s brilllant Wash- ington was the best combined ball packer and passer for 1839 on the basis of bureau figures, he was nei- ther the best ball carrier nor the best’ passer. Washington’s combin- ed talents accounted for 1,370 yards. Tom Harmon of Michigan piled up 1,356 yards and Kay Eakin of Ar- kansas amassed 1344 yards. Harmon led the baii carriers with ‘a 105.8 yard average gain by rushing per game,;the only mark over'100 yards since Whizzer White's 140-yard average in‘1937. Eskin, No. 1 passer in the nation, completed 78 of 193 attempts for 962 yards. Although Harmon's average was tops in rushing, John Polanski of Wake Forest led the rushers in total yardage, amassing 882 yards in 10 games against Harmon's 868 in § ames. Grenville Lansdell of Southern California, with a total of 1,139 yards running and passing, and Plunkett of Vanderbilt, with 1129 were fourth and fifth in that depart- ment, Auburn’s group of punters gave the southern school an average of 4325 yards per kick during the season. Harry Dunkle of North Carolina set up the best individual average, 46.62 yards per try. In pass-catching, Ken Kavanaugh of Louisiana State came through with a final rush to regain the hon- ors he relinquished in .mid-season. He caught 30 passes for a total of team this year may be traced to 467 yards during a 9-game season. ¢
