This is one foot ball game" he said,
"that I don't have to worry about. My
nervous system will take its beating
next Thursday"
The observers name was Andy Kerr,
head coach Of Colgate's unbeaten Red
Raiders, who swarm down after the
Brown Bear at Providence on Thanks
giving Gay. Brown already has beaten
both teams Andy Kerr was looking at.
Brown also has cracked the unbeaten
marches OF Holy Cross and Columbia.
And now Brown is waiting to add Col
gate to its list of victims.
This coming Brown-Colgate game" !"
Kerr remarked. Should be one of the
hardest, closest battles aay foot ball
crowd has seen this year. They are
poth strong, and where the strength of
Doth lies more in team ability than it
does IN one or two outstanding stars,
know Colgate Is ready to go and I
understand Brown is all set with its
full strength. 1t isn't often that two
leaders meet as late es THANKSGIVING
day with clean states and both teams
IN such fine physical shape"

ing OF Bob Parker, who through the
last three seasons has played almost
every job on the Yale team, and PLAYED
every job well.
Parker, halfback and then a quar-
terback, became a high-class end In
less than two weeks, and he was at his
