WE KNOW BETTER i Today, we have abondoned pre supposition in favor of a measure that relates to arithmetic exactness.

We have increased the rather inexclusive Dickinson sensi tome try and made it almost Impossible to find what he called a "Perfect 30.00" football force. In this, our Courier Double System, all winning teams are; neither arbitrarily lumped into a singular 30.00 point category, nor are all second divisions teams heaped into, an indiscriminate category of the 20.00 point ratings. Florida A. and M. College's surprising Orangemen are the 1952 national champions not by acclamation, selection or preference but because in meeting Morris Brown (7 3 0), Prairie View (7 1 0), Bethlme Cookman (7 1 0), Allen (64 0), A.

and T. (6 4 0), Southern (9 2 0) and Virginia State (8 1 0), the Jake Gaith er team was up against 50 16 0 first division opposition, in the aggregate! Ask any coach how he would like being charged with the du bious obligation of keeping even a gifted personnel of modern col lege boys "up," week after week. against those seven tartars? It has never been done before, as far as this desk can remember, in our football. Scoiw 20 12 49 25 12 62 0 13 1S 14 12 61 0 14 24862 Opponent Tens. 8taU Mis.

Dickinson became nationally implemented, when me nauonai cnampion "was obliged to be an undefeated team; regardless of the opponents met, and without a thorough weighing oi me issues involved.

But, as Hoagy Carmichael's famous refrain implies, "that was long ago." Yes, back in the FROM SATURDAY, Oct 4, through Dec 6 the Rattlers were hob nobbing with latent disaster and did fail against rugged Be thune Cookman and rambunc tious Southern along the way. What elevates the Orange and Green above all others, how ever, is the combined Import of three national 30.00 victories over Morris Brown, Virginia State and Southern. What finer trio of scalps to hang in any trophy room could one want. So, Florida's "Men of Orange fighting the toughest card of the year, achieves the incredible proposition of losing two games while winning the national crown. Look at the facts and figures for your own edification; see how this is a matter of mathematical determination.

For certainly no coach can knowd what his opponents will achieve during a coming season. To help him win a title, his foemen must wallop ail comers save the "lucky" coach, thus leaving him as a towering figure of genius and capability, as the scribes and admiring alumni would be wont to immortalize. Even so, undefeated Texas Southern, edging six times un beaten Xavier, 12 7, and un bowed Lincoln of Missouri, shading fhe times beaten Alcorn, 14 12, had their minimums. I loiiua A. u.i M.
