TALKING
IT OVER
BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.--By way
IN Of giving the customer break.
From S. s.: when you picked the Cubs
bet on the Yanks, when you picked
schmelinE 1 bet on sharkey. when you
picked Walker l bet on sehmeling, when
you picked PetrolIe I bet on CanzOneri.
Now l have SIG for myself. This is no
Bronx cheer. But don't quit on me now,
what with tough winter looming ahead"
There Is no such word as quit in the
Army TO beat Notre Dame and Colgate
to beat Brown. Go on out and make
yourself some real dough.

University Of Mines THE team
hasn't done very much this year except
win every game it has, played. 50 maybe
1t doesn't deserve much recognition
An N. Y. U. alumnus objects TO the
statement in this column that Chick Nee
han was kicked out as head coach. because
he was too good. "The real reason was
this In 1881 the cost Of Meehan football
at N. Y. U. was nearly 100000. The
receipts 'were slightly over 100000. But
when the overhead and the deficits on
moderate program Of minor sports were
paid, the books Of the athletic association
showed loss of $4,000. N. Y. U. teams
under the Meehan system we're the whole
show and IL continued would have been,
from the standpoint of the university,
empty successes"
one David Green writes: George
Price the actor. was rejected by West
Point because he is only feet IL inches
tall. But this coming Saturday, Price
ambition He will not play for West
Point, but he will act as one of the
linesmen in the game with Notre Dame
This, of course, is strictly hooey,
and hooey OF the most audacious sort.
Some weeks back, this same press agent
ham he represents was helping coach
the Manhattan college squad. Nobody
at Manhattan ever knew him. and they
care much less about knowing him now.
It's things like this that make a man
appreciate the delightful ecstasies Of
nausea.
c. r. r. insists the people ought to be
told something about Miami CO., university
(which has won six games in row,
defeating among others Ohio university
(which beat Navy and Ohio Wesleyan
(which took Syracuse). And now all they
need to do TO cIinch the Ohio conference
championship Is beat Cincinnati Thurs
day."
Reggie Mcnamara pOstcarded from Min
neapOlis that he lust finished riding
in his eighty-seventh six-day bike race
and that when he comes to the Garden
here next week IL will be his twelfth six
day race of the current season. Just
a real good man.
A lady from Chicago writes to me
that she. can hardly. wait for the return
maybe people will do their drinking
there instead OF at football games AS
matters are now, I think a certain
section in the stands should be reserved
for these biological insists. I go to
these games because love football, not
to listen to lot Of gin-soaked morons
crack smart. 1 have attended many
baseball games, horse races and prize
fights and for the most part, I was
treated with the utmost courtesy. Is it
too much to expect similar decency at a
college football game?"

Charles Rice. Dan Shea and Ray 0RieIey
wish to correct the statement which APP
peared in this space to the effect that
frankie Frisch played second base on the
Fordham team which beat West Point and
put an end TO Major Bob Neyland's sem
sational pitching streak. My informants
tell me Frisch was still prep school
player at that time. The correction is
duly noted and recorded. got my orig
inal information from Elmer OIiphant who
caught the major that day. figured he
ought to know.
