jeanette Macdonald fans, to be
sure, may rush in with the protest
that she grew older in "Maytime /"
1t is quite true she did, but 1t
should be remembered that Miss
Macdonald aged beautifully. That
slightly qualities any claims they
may present in her behalf.
Better would be the case of Anna
Neagle. In Victoria the Great"
she became an apple-cheeked (as

There are intimations that even
the glamour girls will not hold out
forever against the tide of the rea-
sonable facsimile. Did not the
famous Garbo mask crack into a
great. throaty laugh in "Ninotchka" :?
1t did, and memorably. And, of
course, for two seasons now, the
studios have been ignoring the old
standards of gallantry to let their
Frances Farmers fall into quagmires,
Brenda JoyceS to be trapped in
floods, Marlene Dietrichs to wallow
in brawls on the sawduSt covered
floors of frontier saloons.
The handwriting clearly is on the
wall. Or the floor. The last line
has not been written. Nor will it
be when Hedy Lamar appears in a
canvas nightie in "Comrade X" and
exquisite Paulette Goddard as a
shoeless gamin in her own husband S

Perhaps these are times for real
ism, so definitely such that Holly
wood will put honest faces on its

TWO football coaches visiting in
4 New York recently know all the
hazards of the preseason tom-tom.
They are none too keen about it.
One is Carl Snavely of Cornell and
the other is Homer Norton of Texas
A. and M.
Both face the new season with vet
eran squads that were united and
unbeaten a year ago. Both have
been picked for mop-up campaign,
which is always dangerous. Snave-
ly and Norton lose only one or two
men from brilliant teams-but foot
ball is funny game.
1t would be something of record
for two unbeaten teams to 60 un-
beaten another year, so both know
the law of averages is all against
them. Too many things can hap
pen. And there are many times
when senior teams dip below the
level of junior play.
I asked Bob Zuppke about this
once, when one of his senior teams
cracked up.

''Who can pick any team to beat
that Ohio State bunch?" Cornell Carl
asks you morosely. Look at that
backfeld, headed by 215-pound
quarterback Don Scott. They are
all fast, all experienced and they'll
average around 205 pounds. Our
backfeld average may be under ITO.
Ohio State should be one of the
best teams in football this fall. And
Ohio State isn't the only team on
our schedule. They can all be

our schedule" Homer Norton of
Texas A. and M. says. eve are

Each and every game is hard to

They have a fine line and a pair
of backs that will match anybody
in football"
"How about matching that run
away giant of yours-Kimbrough?"
"That's different. But S. M. us
Johnston is still one of the best.
Kimbrough is about as good a back
as you ever saw"
Talking 1t OUer
In the group of select coaches now
at the New York Herald Tribune
football coaching school there was
the usual talk back and forth about
the stronger teams.
Bo McMillin of Indiana tells every
rival to look out for Ohio State, Min
nesota and Michigan in the Big Ten.

Best Pro Yearling
"Tn name you the best freshman
pro football entry" one coach
said. "He is Kay Eakin of Arkan-
sas, now with Mara's Giants. He
was the best all-around back I saw
all year. Here is great runner, a
fine passer and good spirit. He is
every bit as good as fluffy Leemans,
one of the best. This Arkansas kid
will be a sensation. Be sure to keep
an eye on him this season."
This is about the same story I got
from coaches throughout the entire
Southwest last fall.
Bill Alexander, the willy Georgia
Tech mentor, hasn't the weight and
power most of his opponents carry.
But Old Man Alex has adopted
Willie Keeler's famous motto-"Hit
'em where they amt"
Georgia Tech has the most decep-
tive attack in football, headed by a
140-pound back. Only the muff of
an easy pass kept Tech from beat
ing Notre Dame last fall.
No one can tell what 1871 may
bring with the draft and the shadow
of war. But 1910 is certain to be
one of the great years of football
history. It can't miss.
