This Year, Soy Coaches
By GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, Aug. % (NAN.A0. e.
There are two football coaches in
New York this week who know all
the hazards of the preseason TOM
tom. They are none too keen about
it. One is Carl Snavely of Cor
nell, and the other is Homer Nor
ton of Texas A. and M.
Both face the new season with
veteran squads that were united
and unbeaten a year ago. Both have
been picked for mopup campaign,
which always is dangerous. Snave-
ly and Norton lose only one or
two men from brilliant teams-but
football is a funny game.
1t would be something of rec
ord for two unbeaten teams to go
unbeaten another year, so both
know the law of averages is all
against them. Too many things
can happen. 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.
