This year the Dixie landslide has continued. On the second Saturday of the season, Louisiana State and Alabama overpowered Holy Cross and Fordham-two of the East's most powerful teams. The following week, Tulane trimmed Fordham and North Carolina trounced New York University, a less touted but promising outfit. By last week even the proudest Northerners had to admit that football was acquiring a decided Southern accent. A little grudgingly they conceded that the most outstanding game of the week was not in Yale's hallowed Bowl, not in Minnesota's famed Stadium nor Los Angeles...

Most scouted player on his team is George ("Bad News") Cafego, son of a Hungarian coal miner-a rugged, jimber-jawed quarterback who has the reputation of being able to do everything but blow the referee...

...Eshmont (No. 1 ground gainer last year) was swamped by Tulane's smashing Green Wave-and Fordham, pre-season pride of the East, was beaten (7-to-0) by a team from the Deep South for the second week in a row (last fortnight it lost to Alabama...
