HE CURTAIN officially falls on the sixty-ninth season of American in- tercollegiate football Thursday. Encores, as usual, there will be aplenty. The Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl, Dust Bowl and Bacarydi Bowl will all play host to an assortment of elevens whose impressive string of victories commends them to the public's further attention. Sixty-nine years has chronicled a spectacular' metamorphosis in the game of college football. It isn't the naive sport of entrepreneurs it used to be. Its outlook now is business-like and profes- sional. But let us turn back the pages a minute, observe the game in its adolescence and note for ourselves the changes that time has wrought. The date is Nov. 22, 1890. The scene is the bustling town of Springfield, Mass. The mighty men of Yale and Harvard are about to meet in the "most gigantic" football spectacle yet wit- nessed in this nation. The grandstands groan with their overload of 8,000 persons. Prices have skyrocketed to one dollar per head and still the spectators mill onto the field. Blankets, trees, carriages and fences all hold their fill of enthusiasts. At game time 13,000 pairs of eyes seek out the 21 players, 11 from Harvard and ten from Yale. The eleventh Yale man, it seems, stopped off at Hartford to see 'his girl and missed the next Springfield train. Fortunately there is a crew man from New Haven handy and he is preparing to enter the lists and 'complete his alma mater's repre- sentation. Harvard, by the way, pulled a fast one and arrived last night instead of coming up on the Boston and Albany train this morning as is the custom. The rough and tumble gets under way -and Harvard wins. There's a round of cheers and player and spectator alike pack their bags and hurry to catch the last train home. The scene changes. It is Nov. 13, 1937. Football de-emphasis is being bandied from coast to coast. Iconoclasts have been battering at the institution of college football for eight years now, ever since the University of Notre Dame grid- sters traveled 8,300 miles of railroad ties, played before 600,000 and grossed $2,000,000 in one sea- son. The scene is Philadelphia where the Univer- sity of Michigan is slated to meet the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania in an intersectional football game at 2:00 this afternoon. The Michigan entourage, 40 strong, entrained from Ann Arbor last Thursday morning, in two special Pullman cars. Included in the personnel were 34 players, and also. included three coaches, three managers, two trainers, one scout and a team doctor. The scout has scarcely seen the Wolverines in action, so busy has he been at- UNDER M THE CLOCK with DISRAELI This is the column which was to have appeared yesterday, but which was cen- sored. The editors thought we were deal- ing too much with personalities. After thinking it over they decided that there were no personalities concerned. It is pre- sented in its expurgated form-you know, like Boccaccio. WHO'S FOO AND SO THERE or0- OUR OWN ANTI-SOCIAL REGISTER NE "AUTHOR": When more girls of a certain sorority are embarrassed you can be sure that a certain person was behind it all. When he wrote his own notice in his own little tour de force, Who's Who, And So What, he commented that he must be a nice guy because a certain person thinks so. We wonder what she will think of Mr. Hero when she hears that almost every- day her "own little god sidles up to us with eso- teric tales of her house-with numerous hushes and furtive glances at her. "Don't use my name,"j is a bromide of his ovn coinage and every morn- ing one finds him sitting at a Gargoyle business office desk-his, for no other reason at all that we can ascertain-scanning the columns to see if his dirt was printed. Invariably it isn't- there are the University authorities to consider and the Daily is not the Police Gazette. Besides the news has to preserve some element of truth. Thirty years from now if you ask him what his biggest moment in college was, he will probably tell you that November 23, 1937, because at last someone took notice of him beside himself-we mean the printing company which is trying to collect the $172 due it for printing the nasty remarks he and his colleague think up about other people. * * * THE OTHER is known as a man of horse- sense, modesty, and possessing a sense of humor. His horsesense, he showed in writing his own notice in the BMOC blunder. It would have been hard to find anyone else to have done it for him. His modesty is attested by the very casual understatement of all the activities that have seen fit not to need him during the past five years he has been snuggling up close to seniorf editors and other senior whatnots. Once, it is! rumored, he had a petition turned down for chairman of a League committee. He is not popular at all with the girls who work for the Superior Dairy Company. In the way of successes, his greatest has been the football team, for he is the only man in newspapers able to produce ream after ream about football and football players, while knowing absolutely noth- ing about the game. He was doublecrossed here however, when th team won a few games and that left him only the campus politicians to kick around-which everyone else had finished doing two years ago. Finally, his sense of humor puts him above the common herd of cattle and he is to be lauded for the exceptionally fine pas- sages he lifted from last year's BMOC Blue Book -with which he had nothing to do. They were the funniest things in Who Who. O. K., folks, they're all yours. -Mr. Disraeli. On The LevQAel By WRAG The President of the United States has pro- claimed tomorrow as a national holiday for Thanksgiving and there isn't much the Univer- sity authorities can do about it except take roll on Friday to see how many stayed home for the entire week-end. Nearly 4,000 students signed petitions for a three-day vacation but these lists did little else than impress the faculty board with the large number of men and women here who can write their names, and the fact that nearly 3,000 of these claimed to live in California and that they all wanted to go home for the week-end, also was a shock to University authorities.. However, the Dean's Committee faced the tre- mendous decision as to whether there would be a three-day vacation, and without flinching deemed that Friday's lectures on the history of Esthonian lace-making would be more important in the future than giving the students a chance to sit home and read the comics. Of course all the errors in this year's Directory can not be listed in a space smaller than the book itself, but if one looks at the names gathered under the Tri-Delt House, one will find that Hope Petrouleas has been given the very sug- gestive cognomen of "Hope Petnouless." Then there was the fellow who asked for a can of "Jack Thom Pipe Tobacco" at the Union counter the other day. The clerk didn't under- stand what the fellow wanted until the fellow pointed to a tin of "Union Leader Smoking To- bacco" and laid down a dime. "In college the student must acquire a measure of idealism for it will serve him later . . . you must learn to think also for others as well as for Iifeenis zo Me Heywood Broun Lin Yutang, the Chinese columnist, gave a luncheon Saturday for Dr. Wang, his country's ambassador, and a group of New York writing men. Lin maintains that there is a far greater psychological difference between the Chinese and the Japanese than between the people of China and America. And he holds that one of the basic gulfs between China and Japan is that the Jap- anese are utterly devoid of any sense of humor. The lit- erature of China abounds with quips and gay sayings, and I still remember a dinner in-Nanking as the best party to which I ever was bidden. I couldn't understand all the jokes, but the audience was infectiously responsive. I also liked the hot rice wine. Lin Yutang speaks with authority, since he does a regular newspaper stint for home consumption and also has published successful books here. Indeed, I am told that in Shanghai he is known as "The Chinese Westbrook Pegler." In the course of the luncheon one of the favorite anecdotes about the Japanese was put in evidence. It concerns the American and the Japanese passengers on a steamer. The latter expressed a belief that a storm was brewing, while the American disagreed. But the Oriental Cassandra stuck to his gloomy forebodings to such an extent that the American remarked, "Is it possible that you are a poor sailor?" The Japanese drew himself to his full height and1 answered stiffly, "I'll have you know I'm a first-class passenger!" Chinese Are Individualistic Dr. Wang believes that the people of China are instinctively in favor of the democratic forms of government. In his estimation the Chinese are the most individualistic of all people. But even more, he feels that the Chinese sense of humor is a bulwark against any permanent dictatorship. If there is soundness in this formula, I am afraid that there is actual need for worry about the preservation of our traditional institutions. I do not go with General Johnson in his recent statement over the air that an anti-lynching bill means Fascism in America. Nor am I moved by the complaint of Congressmen that. if the work- ing day is shortened we will all become slaves. The thing that worries me is a rapid increase of blind spots in our national sense of humor, or sense of proportion or whatever you mean to call it. These spots have more effect upon the lives of us all than the blemishes now to be noted on the surface of the sun. In particular I view with alarm the more recent reactions of the Herald Tribune's goblin editor, Mark Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan is a newspaper man of long training, and in his own right a person of infinite tact and charm. Whatever I may say about him always will be conditioned by the fact that at the Liberty League dinner he personally went out of his way to get me a seat right at the feet of Al Smith. And so, when a man who is almost a journalistic institution begins to look under the bed, even in broad daylight, there is reason for widespread worry. It's Just Hearsay I have in mind his most recent column, which ran under the headline. "Move Toward Revolu- tion Seen," and in the bank I found "White House counselors, under the guise of reforming cap- italism, seek to substitute Communism or Fas- cism." That seemed to me almost first page stuff until I found that it was taken from an editorial column by Arthur Krock who in turn, although not present at the conclave, had "reliably heard" the tale. Moreover, Mr. Krock was heartened because, on good authority he was informed that both Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Hopkins had shouted down with great vehemence the two brash and wholly unidentified persons who had wildly hazarded the opinion that maybe cap- . italism never would work. If revolution can be built of such shadows,+ I warn Mark Sullivan never to venture into the editorial offices of his own paper. I can testify that I have "reliably heard" that Walter Lippmann in a mellow mood once said, "Maybe we are all wrong and the entire scheme, of things is cockeyed." I think Mark Sullivan ought to take a sleeping+ pill and leave word not to be called until the1 tumbril comes. j I RADIO By JAMES MUDGE Air Lines: Tomorrow giffs a leetle Have-Fun- Day with turkey and trimmings-Detroit U. and Duquesne will play a ball game in Pittsburgh and the CBS will have Ted Husing telling about it all at 2 over Col-mbia's WABC net . . .
