along aoout sunset at Pasadena next

through the afternoon without too
many injuries. Up to a matter of IA
men he has about as much man power
as Stanford has-and IA men may be
quite enough to 60 the route.
More than 80 years ago a Michigan
team left inches of Ann Arbor snow,
journeyed to s80-degree California heat
and beat Stanford 49 to 0. Also, the
IL Michigan men who started the game
finished it without calling on a substi-
tute.
OF course that Michigan team hap
pened to have Heston, Snow, Sweeley,
White, Gregory and few more who
could play foot ball all day, hot or cold.
Youn find that Montgomery, Bara-
bas, Newell and Brominski are only few
ounces under the combined weight of
Grayson, Hamilton, Maentz and Alus-
tlza-not enough to matter III respect to
physical displacement. But it must be
admitted that Tiny Thornhill can call
upon better reserves-only a notch be-
low his regulars.
The difference isn't enough to fore
cast the slaughter, annihilation and
complete destruction that so many
seem to expect.
Columbia has plenty in the way of
weight in her flrSt-string line, and that
line should be able to play most of the
game
If each team had to stick to the IL
original starters, I'd say the game was
a toSs-up

For Fun-And to Win.

a NIGHT or two ago I attended a
~ foot ball dinner where the ma
terial present-in its prime
would have made the heart of any foot
ball coach turn over at least twice.
Among those on hand were Mahan
and Whitney OF Harvard, Oliphant
Sprague and Garbisch of the Army,
ton, Fitzpatrick and Spalding of Yale
and a few more.
The discussion came up whether foot
ball should be played for fun-or
played to win.
That argument was somewhat baf-
fling to this gathering. The consensus
answer was as follows: why not both?"
The stars of the past admitted they
played foot ball to win-but also that
the game gave them more fun than any
other game they had ever played.
Young Whitney of the recent Harvard
team had this to say: Il like everything
about foot ball, including the practice,
the training, the blocking, the tackling.
It's all fun. And I'd much rather win
than lose-just as any one else would"
1t struck me that some of the older
type-stars from the East in another
foot ball span-took the game just as
seriously as the Far West and the South
are supposed to take it now.
Eddie Mahan knew but one defeat in
his Harvard career-from Cornell. And
I'll have to admit" he said. that it
wasn't any fun-that it hurt and hurt
a lot. A fine team beat us, and maybe
] shouldn't have minded one trimming
in three years. But still it hurt"
Foot ball still has to produce bet
ter all-round back than Eddie Mahan.

coach developed another argument. But
it was generally agreed that Haughton

old Yale system-about the time Yale
began forgetting its own history-mak-
ing ingredients of foot ball success.
