In the face of so many strange twists one - displayes probably more andacity than wisdom in attemuting to rate the teams on their showings dur- ing the: season. However, in view of the fact that no harm is done even though \errors are made, one may take the liberty of grouping the twelve best college teams. in the east, the “football east.”, The order follows: Syracuse. b Colgate. Dartmouth. Penn State. Pittsburgh West Virginia. Harvard. Washington and Jefferson. Pennsylvania, Princeton. Lafayette. Yale. Where Is Center? One’ may ask wHRere does Center| college come in? 'Center college is not in the east. Center college was the sensation of the season, not doubt, but ts victims were mostly from sections of the country that can hardly be la- beled “East.” and this is merely a weak attempt to cred't teams of the same section with positions they seem; to have earned. JAY GOULD SUPREME AT COURT TENNIS Jay Gould, the millionaire sports- man, still reigns supreme at court ten- nis over the select few that are pur- suing the sport throughout the world. After 'a lapse of three vears, Gould, who had surrendered the open ama- teur and professional title the World War, recently defended it successfully against Walter A. Kinsella, nrofes- sional 'squash tennis champion of the world. Although defeated, Kinsella put up such a thrilling exhibition that he is undoubtedly ‘the second strong- est player in this sport. with the oft beaten Columbia elev- | ROUSH WAS LEADING HITTER IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

In the Nationa! league ~the Cincinnati Reds were presseq hard by the Giants and the Chicago cubs In the American League the White Sox had to extend themselves to a point of exhaustion to overcome the opposition of the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers. The premier honors in batting went to Eddie Roush in the National League anqg Ty Cobb retained his laurels in the American League, which were wrested from him but once sinee he became a regular of the Detroft Tigers. The lone individual who - was able to accompli‘h this was Tris Speaker, who pulled: the trick in 1916. Roush maintained a hitting streak throughout the season that won many Roger Hornshy of the St. Louis Cardinals gave him a stiff fight for’ the honors. - Cobb had things pretty much his own way in the American League. 1919 MARKS REVIVAL OF CRICKET IN AMERICA There was a marked revival of in- terest in cricket in this country and {the American classic, the Halifax Cup | competition under auspices of the !
