true. IT, a joke. The fellows who
thought it up just jumped the gun
on repeal, got little too ossified,
and tried to be cute"
Thus did I hit the nail squarely
on the head almost month before
the two teams met. What acumen!
What judgment! What superior
marshalling of facts. To casual
reader the above two paragraphs
might convey the impression that
I considered Columbia S cause
hopeless one. But to diligent
reader-to one who digs deeper than
the printed word-the entire game
is there, just as played last Mon
day. Read those words again and
see, if between the lines, you don It
get picture of the mud, of Bara-
bas going over for touchdown, of
Columbia gallant goal line stand,
and the overconfidence of the big
Stanford team.
I don't like to brag, for after all,
selecting winners is my business, but
read the following excerpts, also
wonder along with me how any,
body could SO definitely see into
the future:

and they make the Lion bench look
a lot cosier. but that's all the good
they are. -
The sheer wisdom of it! The
game was practically charted for
my readers weeks in advance. 1t
was no surprise to me and then
when Columbia took all Stanford
had without yielding, for we knew
that Columbia was fast, smart,
courageous, and would win by a
touchdown.
I actually wish I had missed the
turn on the game and picked STAN

ed SO closely on the heels of my
sensational picking of Schmeling
over Baer, Sharkey over Camera,
and Mrs. Moody over MISS JACOBS,
as to embarrass me. People are
stopping to look at me in the street,
and several of my friends now call
me "sure shot, McLemore.

Despite demands of radio and

st. Petersburg, Fla, the Yank's
training camp. He will golf and fish
until the rest of the Rupert men
arrive.
The great man will celebrate his
40th birthday in New York, Febru-
ary 7. Friends are worried over his
prospects for 1884. He faded conSid-
erably last year. Many of his 13l
games were not completed; he suf-
fered several bad batting slumps
and was benched temporarily fol
the first time in his career for weak
hitting.

WRITER'S GIVE CREDIT To
CO[UMb|A'S GREAT ELEVEN

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3. U.P)-
Almost to a man, leading sport writ
ers of California newspapers, came
through today with praise for Lou
Little and his Columbia football
team. victors to over Stanford in
the Pasadena Rose Bowl New Years
day.
Prior to the game, most of the
writer's had expressed the opinion
that Columbia did not have a
chance against Coach Tiny
Thornhill's athletes.
Some of the sport comment fol-
lows:
Relman NORM, Los Angeles Post
Record-"Yep, that poor little
Columbia football team defeated the
splendid Stanford varsity And il
you can bear to hear the worst, it
was no fluke"
Bob Cronin, Los Angeles Illustra-
ted Daily News-"I verify believe
that the better club won. 1t scored
its points and then held when the
holding was important"
Mark Kelly, Los Angeles Examin-
er-"Columbia looked so good
venture to say that Lou Little's mer
could have beaten Stanford on any
kind of a field"
Bill Henry, Los Angeles Times -
Machine like, letter perfect, mag
nificently drilled, beautifully con
ditioned, Columbia was all of thos
things and something more"
Sid Ziff, Los Angeles Herald-Ex
/ press-"The bolts of speed which

| and the stubborn resistance whic

beat it back in the second, are the
factors which really brought about
the most surprising upset of most
surprising season.
William Lesser, or the San Fran
cisco Examiner, said: "A squad of
deadly, terrific tacklers, dogged
club, and perhaps the most sound
ly-coached team that has been seen
in the west this season. That was
Columbia. A team that couldn't be"
gin to match Stanford's power-but
a team which. with deception, could
and did-fool the Cardinals to
take the bacon away
Harry Borba, of the San Fran
cisco News: Stanford, perhaps a
bit confident of its own ability,
failed to handle the ball properly on
at least four different occasions in
the 10 yard zone The Lions came
into Western United States deter
mined to win the football game

/ but in New York where people be-
lieved. They walked into a rain

with precision, majesty and fight

dents"

ECONOMISTS OF COUNTRY DIFFER
 ON ROOSEVELT
They Disagreed About His Policies in Regard to
 Recovery Plans

Chicago, Dec 2s.--(UP)--Lead- ing economists of the world dis agreed as thoroughly as laymen today in reviews before 12 societies of social scientists of President Roosevelt's attempts to remodel the banking and monetary sys- tems to revive railroads and im- prove social relations.
 A group of 95 monetary experts scoffed at attempts to achieve a managed currency and censured ad- ministration ''infiationary" meas- ures while two other units of 2,OOO scientists in convention applauded statements that work of both banks and railroads must be CO., ordinated to prevent their collapse.
 Tabulation of questionnaire among members of the economists national committee on monetary policy, an organization of 95 ex- perts opposed to brain trust" poli- cies, revealed members almost unanimously in favor of return to gold dollar of fixed value.
 Ninety-four per cent of the com pleted questionnaires held that an immediate declaration by the ad- ministration as to whether it in- tends to return to gold standard is important to economic recovery, and 100 per cent recommended re- turn "as soon as possible to a fixed gold standard. Almost all the experts believed that a "dangerous'' imitation is threatened by expan- sion of money and credit.
 Even if a policy of currency management is adopted, the com mittee said, 95 per cent of it's members believe that such action should be controlled by the federal board.
 Not one of the men answering the questions believed that com modity price levels can be man. aged by manipulation of the official price of gold and they were unani- mously opposed to central bank and government ownership or management of commercial banks
 Ninety-three per cent recom- mended a Laissez-Faire policy of leaving commodity prices to find their own level in free markets.
