"VoUNG people Of today" a
L mother writes, "seem to re-
gard it as a sign of immaturity
or weakness to be thrilled with
anything. Their idea of So
phistication is to appear bored
with everything, the having-done-
all-seen-all attitude that finds it
very difficult to be impressed with
anything. 1t is most annoying to
find that anything you can offer
them for a good time seems to be
inadequate, that the thrills of your
own youth cannot be- repeated for
them. It seems to me they miss
a great deal"

not expect that the thrills of our
youth will equally impress tn e
young people of this day. So
much that came to us gradually
as colorful experiences are part
of their daily background. But
there is something definitely true
in what she says of a pose, of a
deliberate care never to seem inn
pressed, of a pretense at being
bored.
1t may interest such young
people to know that that super
sophisticate, G. K. Chesterton,
said "there are no bores, only
people who are bored" In other
words there can be nothing inter-

bored!
That takes us right down to a

good passer and he was better IA
vored than his equally able oppo-
nent, Sid Luckman, in having sky
scraping wings to grab his losses.
Then, too, his coaches seemed to
have stressed this aerial prepara-
ton more than did the Columbia
mentors who provided better bal
anced attack.
In the second period, for instance,
the way was paved for the tying
touchdown by means of an aerial
connection with Wilson standing on
the line. On this play one side of
the line stays in position until the
ball is tossed to the receiver, then
forms for interference down the
field. Greasy Neale has been using
it at Yale for several seasons-in-
deed the Ellis scored touchdown
Against Cornell with it.
It is not. It merely is a few de-
grees and seconds removed from
the border line where illegality be-
gins. Like that short, rifle toss over
the line-first used in proper win
ming style by w. and J. years ago
and again properly handled by Mey-
er and Hips in time of need.
Defensively Army made mistakes
i'm mechanics as well as in cere-
brati0n-which could very well lose
late season games. 1t is probable
such defects can be remedied within
another game or two. The real
weakness right now exists in the
backfield and there can be some
wonder it was mot long ago noted
that Stromberg at right end has
more real driving power than any
Cadet ball carrier.
Columbia's problem is in the line,
usually the place where Little
coached teams are at their best.
Luckman, who seems likely to be
the most popular football hero in
local baseball parks this fall, needs
more time to acquire big league
savvy on the defense. That largely
is because he can be drawn out of
position.
Furey also is q back who would
win the esteem of almost any coach
for all that he weighs less than 40
pounds. Perhaps he does not catch
the eye as quickly as did one or two
other members Of the famous Co
lumbia football family but he is
alert on the defense and may be the
best interferer the Lions have had
in several seasons.
Schulze, the rangy end, is another
athlete who strengthens the old grad
convictions that Columbia is back
on its feet this year.

Uncle MiS
Says: -
A Man in Trouble

No matter how uncouth a man
may be, if his character is firm
and he faces trouble like a man,
your heart warns to him.
Give a newly met m a
chance to show his good qualities
before rejecting him as a friend.
Great fault of daydreaming
about the great achievements one
contemplates is that one is likely
to go to sleep.
Oft a man doesn't wish to be
asked, "What do you want for
dinner?" He likes to be sur
prised-agreeably, of course.
Enjoying You
How restful to feel that you have
only to sit and look pleasant to
make your friend enjoy your
presence.
Almost all ignorance is due to
the ignorant not wanting knowl-
edge. 1t is free.
Life is something much bigger
than human consciousness.
Socie+y's Gain
Solitude is not to be considered
solely from selfish standpoint.
Society may profit much through
the frequent individual adoption
of it.
Nice people are people who are
polite and pleasant to you; and
it is next to impossible to make
you believe otherwise.
To get a big job done, begin
working at it gradually and go on
ceaselessly.
