Those Days Are Gone
AS fellow who was as close to
Columbia football and Colum.
bia University alumni last fall
as a hair shirt to a martyr, I
never heard, or overheard, a
single player-coach or alumnus
say that he would like to see
Columbia play Yale in a late
season game.
What would they have wanted
to play 'em for-laughs?
They did say that they would
have liked to play Princeton
again. And they naturally
would have, since that was the
worst game they turned in all
season and left the only black
mark on their record.
That they could have beaten
the Tigers in a return game is
certainly open to question.
Princeton had a lot Of football
players if not a lot of football
team. But I don't think you
could even start an argument
among football men by saying
that they would have gone gal
Looping over the Yale that dilly-
dallied through an afternoon
with Harvard.
The delusion from which Mr..
O'Hara, if indeed it is Mr..
O'Hara, is suffering is a com.
mon one among gentlemen Of
his generation. He hanks back
to the days when the Big Three
meant football power.
Those days are gone. So Is
the Big Three. And with them
has gone most of the eagerness
of other colleges and univer-
sites to beat the erstwhile
members of the Big Three.
No More Bang in It
Does Mr.. O'Hara, or the other
gentlemen who isn't Mr.. O'Hara
think for a minute that Geor-
gia still would get much Of
bang out of licking Yale?
Georgia has had 'em down
oftener than Baer had Camera,
and after the first six or seven
times they must have stopped
counting.
Naturally Columbia would
like to beat Yale. Columbia is
proud of its gridiron record
under Lou Little's coaching.
Obviously they would rather
beat Yale than Middleburg or
Vermont. It's a better win for
'em. And equally obvious is the
fact that all coaches and teams
like to get started on the win
ming foot.
But if the New Workers. boy
thinks Columbia would rather
beat Yale than Cornell or Penn
or Syracuse or Brown. well,
he ought to come up to Morn
ingSide and see our boys who
downed the West some time.
And now, if you'll excuse me,
I'll get myself a bag of bananas
and catch that train for Detroit.

Dizzy Immediately parked his
wife in an adjoining room, his
feet on the white bedspread, and
announced to the visiting scribes
that he was ready to give them
the real dope on the series. And
did he? Just listen:
well beat the Tigers sure.
The series may go six games.
They'll all be low-score games.
Not more than two or three
runs for the winner any day.
I'm ready to pitch all four
games if FriSch wants me to-
Having got all that off his
chest in one breathless rush, the
shrinking violet went on in his
usual modest manner:

Rogell is the toughest guy the
Tigers have to pitch to. Green
berg? He's a cinch. / knew
him down in the Texas League.
He never could hit me and he
can't hit me now. I'll pitch
him high inside and he'll be
just as soft as Bill Terry. Yeh.
sure I mean Terry. think
he's the easiest guy in the
National League to pitch to.
KNOWS ROWE
"ROwe? ShuckS, knew him
down Texas way, too. Say, his
team, that was Beaumont,
never did beat me. We were
both great pitchers this year
but always did have it on him.
81 knew this fellow White
and Fox, too, down there. They
were easy for me.
I'D like to start the first
game but maybe Frisch will
start Hallahan and he'll beat
them sure. Look what he did
to them before. My brother
Paul will be the best pitcher
in the series. You know, he's
what you call nOnchalant.
Know what l mean? Nothing

"WelI, not much"
All this time brother Paul was
sitting on the other bed watching
brother Dizzy like an affectionate
hound dog watches his master and
with about the same look in his
eyes.

NEW YORK, Oct. at seems
hardly fair that in the midst
of winning streak in which I
have picked practically every
thing right, including the third
one from the end, I should go
away out to Detroit and leave
you customers to your fate in
the matter of the Yale-Colum-
bia football game on Saturday.
On past performances Co
lumbia should win the game be-
cause it has been one Of the
good teams of the East during
the past four years, whereas
Yale has been for approx
mately the same period one Of
the bad teams Of the East.
note where some Of the
boys in the pre-game publicity
have been going back to the
time when Columbia taught
Yale to play football. Only, If
my memory is not in error,
while Columbia was teaching
Yale, Yale was winning the
game. So maybe we'd better
throw that out.
This game, which chances to
be the first interesting and i'm
portant contest in the East this
fall, will provide a meeting be-
tween the laughing lions Of
Morningside Heights and the
non-laughing Yales.
In Reply to Mr.. 0'Hara
All this fall, stories announc-
ing that Yale had turned over a
new leaf and would send out, if
nothing else, a fighting, hard
playing outfit have been piling
up. These have come either from
Yale or from sources close to
Yale, so it looks very much as If
there might have been some
thing to the stories Of the laugh
ing Yales.
Otherwise, why all the stress
on 1.-The rugged, serious squad
that Head Coach Pond is whip
ping into fine physical condition
through long hours Of hard drill
ling" The quotes are not mine.
Only the New Yorker Maya
zine, a bright and entertaining
club-fellow, or rather the New
Workers. football scribe, seems to
cling to the theory that the
laughing Yales were what the
good dons ordered at New
Haven. These quotes are his:
This is not to say we are
unprecedented; as always we
hope Yale wins. But the mere
fact Of their teams playing Yale
is going to make Columbia
alumni easier to bear. Last year
it was pretty hard to take, that
business Of what they would
have done in q late.SeasOn
game against Yale. Princeton,
you must remember, did zoos
worth against Columbia, but ap-
parentIy that didn't count; what
Columbia wanted was a chance
to beat Yale, and now they
have it.
We only wish that If
Yale should win, it could be
with Bob LaSSiter. For some
strange reason, Columbia people
were particularly bitter against
LasSiter because he was seen
laughing while playing football"
