Replay For Paralysis Fund

New York, Nov. 19-CUP)-PoSsi-

fifth down" football game at New
York after the season ends, today
took some Of the sting out Of Cor

for the benefit of the infantile par

by Dartmouth after admission Of an

Big Red a victory at Hanover, N. H.
Friesell erred on the final play Of
the game when he allowed Cornell

This would be entirely fitting II
only cameramen wore jerseys and
numbers. But as they don't, would
like to suggest to Coach Red Blaik
and Athletic Director Jim Lynch
that they retire the complete outfit
the cameraman was wearing last
Saturday. Put his topcoat in one
case, his pants, vest and coat in an
other, his shirt, tie and collar in an
other, and his studs, shoes, socks,
and derby in another. After this was
done, they could buy the camera
man a new outfit and formally an
nounce that no cameraman wearing
an outfit similar to the one retired
would be allowed in the Dartmouth
stands.
Fancy Block cd"
The more you think of what an
upset Dartmouth's victory was, and
of what an important part the pic
lures played in bringing about re-
versal of the first verdict, the more
you feel that Dartmouth should
award the cameranan block D. Not
plain block D. either, but spe-
cial one with tassels, epaulettes,
palms. And maybe a fringe Of tat
ting.
I can't help but speculate as to
the changes in football this incident
of last Saturday is likely to bring
about. In the first place, football
teams may be expected to start
scouting for promising young pho
tographers as well as for tackle,
guard and fullback material. Offers
of tuition, board and soft job will
be made to high school boys who
show extraordinary talent in the
clark room or have wa with lenses
or a natural, easy motion with tri-
pod.
PayOff by Movies
If photography does take its place
in football, there will be one dis
tressing angle. Double features, all
ready the bane of many a movie
goers life will become triple fea-
lures. Along with Purple Passion"
! and Souls Adrift," there will be
shown a football game, at which the
actual and official score will be an
nounced. AL bets on games viii be
made payable in the lobby" after
the last reel is shown and it has been

The cameras are going to make
it very tough on the football officials.
If they pull boners, they'll be right
there on the reel because, unlike
Hollywood stars, they won't be able
to get retakeS.

From 1910 to 1915: $4,000 a

From 1915 to 1850: $4,000
