BY GRANTLAND RICE.

n YEW YORK, Nov 2O-The fer
M vor, the fever and even the
fury of football season is
easily understood. 1t is all
emotional, minus any touch of reason.
You may get this only in your own
section. We get it from 5000 900
square miles of football territory. Yet
II you look over the various schedules
you will see why there are no super
teams no national champions, no out
standing monopolies of glory. Sched-
ules tell most Of the story.
Let's take two of the country's
strongest teams-California and Pitts
burgh. U. c. l.. A. scored only IA
points combined against Stanford
Oregon State, Washington State and
Washington. Yet u c. L. A. scored
IA points against California alone
And California couldn't score on
Washington.
Pittsburgh spent 1l9 minutes with
out scoring on Duquesne and Fordham
on successive Saturdays. Yet Texas
Tech beat Duquesne, l3 to O. Pitts
burgh went 80 minutes against Notre
Dame and Nebraska without scoring
In the first three periods of each game.
California and Pittsburgh are men,
toned because they are rated the two
strongest teams. On these two teams
Goldberg, Matisi, Souchak, Chapman,
Herwig, Schwartz, Bottari and Stock
ton are mentioned as all-Americas
II this were true they should win all
their games, 30 to 0, or 40 to 0.
Consider These Schedules.
FAKE Auburn Auburn played Tu-
lane, Villanova, Mississippi State,
Georgia Tech, Rice, Tennessee, l. S. u.
and Georgia on successive SATURDAYS.
How many teams in the South-or
elsewhere-could have tackled that
schedule unbeaten? Or T. c. u, fac
Ing Ohio State, Arkansas Tulsa, Texas
A. and M, Fordham Baylor, Cen
tenary, Texas and Rice-nine man
killers in row? Few teams any,
where have even approached these
schedules.
Look at your home menu before you
begin to gloat, and if you haven't at
least seven tough games on the roster
against outstanding teams you haven't
much to gloat about.
OF the leading teams, Pittsburgh
has played the toughest schedule, with
California next These two are close.
Alabama has played three hard games,
with fourth to come Most coaches
Will tell you they couldn't possibly

which includes Illinois, Carnegie Tech,

ules of Auburn, T. c. U. and others.

SOME of the biggest producers in
- Hollywood have been taking les
sons from Jose Capablanca. world
champion from 1920 to 1927, to learn
the proper way to push the pawns
around on the chessboard.
Big brains have taken seriously to
the game. Joseph Won Sternberg,
Oliver H. P. Garrett, Henry Meyers
and Grover Jones, in striving hard to
master the openings and catch the
Cuban unaWares, tell the old "Capa'
story of him not seeing the board
and then returning later to find a
piece accidentally left on the wrong
square by player who had been max
ing trial moves. "Capa" exploded:
What for you move that man?"

HOLLYWOOD
BY Paul Harrison

Hollywood-It may be only coin
cidence, but a lot Of evidence exists
to show that there is a 10-year cy-
Gle Of personalities in Hollywood.
Samuel Goldwyn says so. What
started him to thinking about a
personality cycle was a discussion
Of his preparations for filming
Stella Dallas"
1t was first screened in 1925,
and brought fame to Belle Ben
nett, Lois Moran, Ronald Colman,
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Alice
Joyce, and some others. Now that
the right people have popped up
in Hollywood, he's going to do 1t
again, with sound.
Of course, too, the memory
span of movie fans is a factor.
Great. pictures probably will be
revaade time after time. But
Goldwyn believes that, SO far as
the fans are concerned, 10-year
interval isn't necessary. Look at
the celebrated plays which are
revived every few years.
The important thing. he says, is
casting. OF course there is no
hapd-and- fast rules, but 1t seems
that decade usually lies be-
tween the rises of duplicate per-
sonalities.
This is partly because players
strive for individuality. For ex-
ample, no actress wants to be "a
second Garbo," but 10 years
hence some actress may be Gar
boesque without being charged
with imitation. ..-'r
