ae eg Judge HIS is supposed to be a forecast f the coming football season, but to prognosticate so early in the fall is for a braver soul than I. t year I rose to inimitable heights by picking every wrong one, which au- tomatically put me right up there in the ranks of the experts but at the same time played merry you know what with my pocket book. My misplaced confidence in Columbia and Notre Dame sent one of my best pals to Bermuda, and after the Pittsbu J. S. C. game the office boy appeared in a natty English drape bought and paid for with my hard earned dollars. Also, I feel quite lonesome this year without my customary pre-season blast from California. Around the middle of September I am generally the recipient of a half dozen letters from some $ Anna High School experts. The letters, written on pink note paper as a rule, go to great lengths to point out in a few thousand ill chosen words just how ter- rible the Eastern football teams really are. However, and to get going, out West Howard Jones will doubtless have his usual crew of grim visaged movie ex- tras on hand and I do hear tales of the University of California in Los Angeles (Uclans to you), looming up as a new Sunkist Peril. These boys did stout work last year and certainly should earn enough for themselves this season to build a nice new shiny stadium with parking space at fifty cents a throw and everythin; In the East de-emphasis seems to be the order of the da Which means that the students will derive a certain amount of fun out of the game and bellicose coaches will find themselves hack on a financial plane with Latin Professors. It also means that the quality of football will be poor and the old grads will rush around with gleam- ing scalping knives. I can’t worry about that much, It is kind of hard to take the gibes from the West and South, but if it means that in the long run the game itself is given back to the players to enjoy, it is O.K. by me. Maybe the prices will be lower. Yale started a one dollar top for some of its ast year. I, personally saw a seat in the bowl worth more th a buck of any man’s money. In New York the big games are all held in ball parks, and if there is a worse spot to witness a football game from I would like to hear about it. Especially when you get to your seat and find it occupied by three cops and a couple of ardent ordham fans in the shape of Tammany Ward Bosses!
