EASTERN TEAMS STRONGEST

Scored Most Points in Intersectional Contests with Teams From West and South.

Although most of the Eastern college football schedules are still in the making it is evident from those that have been announced and from reports abroad that intersectional games will be featured to a great extent among next autumn's gridiron contests. In the intersectional games played during the past season the Eastern college elevens have more than won their share of victories. During October and November Eastern teams participated in 18 intersectional games against Southern or Middle Western elevens, winning 15, tying 2 and losing one. In the six games played against Middle Western teams five were won and one was lost, in which Michigan defeated Syracuse 14 to 13. In these contests the Eastern teams scored a total of 103 points as opposed to 64 for their opponents.

The Southern teams proved still less formidable, for of the 12 games played with them the East won 10 and two were tied. The two tie games were between West Virginia and Dartmouth, and Rutgers and Washington and Lee. In these 12 contests the Eastern elevens scored a total of 270 points to 36 for their Southern opponents.
