It was in those Spring races Gran
vile showed some Of the traits Of his
sire, Gallant Fox. Great as he was.
Fox was not an easy horse to ride. He
couldn't leave the starting gate as fast
as Granville. You had to be careful
he didn't get left, for he'd stand there
like an old COW. If you moved too
socn with him in a race and got lead
of q couple of lengths, he seemed to
think it was all over and would start
to ease up. If you allowed him to lag
too far of the pacemaker, he sort OF
lost interest. What that horse liked
was competition, q fight.
II was this same competitive
spirit that made Gallant Fox
and his sons, Omaha and Gran

When Fox had a rival capable Of

then you realized his greatness. He
was game to the core. SO Is Granville.

taste of the real thing, and he

The Chief does not like to see his

can do about it, as long as foot

A big part of the answer is psyche
1ogical-the mental attitude Brown

Columbia looking ahead to Cornell,
Dartmouth, etc. This takes no credit
from Brown, with the raw courage
left to fight its way out of deep rut
Here's another angle. Some coaches

besten-taking few chances. Others
are willing to gamble along scoring
lines. The pass is an effective-but
tricky--weapon.
Yost once told me that teams could
be four touchdowns apart from one
Saturday to another. Those that get
keyed up one week usually slip the
second.
One of the finest records in foot

Perhaps you do not share the in

but you must admit that it is rather
unusual for the wrestling cham

his line, which thrice was out

recovering Bill Hammett's wild lateral
