BabbIing About
the Army Team

thought you were making up the

thought you were fctlonizing

man would haVc said, why all
the InjunS are on reservations.
I SAID TO myself, that really
Il IS going too far back. Run
yOn, because no one remembers
Jim Thorpe aS a college playc"
except veterans of the Spanish
American War. though some
less elderly men may recall HIM
as a professional player. and
may recall, too, that he stood up
TO the modern test OF iootpaii
greatness that blanchard And
Davis and the rest OF the Army
team will probably never meet
and that is the pro test. So did
Red Grange and NeverS.
/ reflected that years ago
there were fabulous college foot
ball players like HefIelfinger
and Ted Coy and Shevlin OF
Yale. and Mahan and Brlckley
Of Harvard, and Stevenson Of
Penn, and scores of others. and
! asked myself how great they
would have been playing as pro
regulars today. And ! said 10

babbling about the Army foot

have been pitiful 10 hear.
But j said, Runyon, better
keep such thoughts 10 yourself
because Blanchard and those
other Army guys have the foot
bail world so over-awed by the
way they have been trampllng
the pigskin adolescents that no
one resembles fellows like
Brancho Nagurski and you
would only be cried down as a
senile old codger.
said, RunyDn, If you are
smart you will join in the cheer
ing for Blanchard e. Co, as the
greatest ever. because few per-
sons contemplate the nature OF
"A victor's opposition in sport or
politics or war, but only the
final score, and il would be most
impolitic of you 10 suggest that
had a chap named Ernie Nevers
been seen headed for a football
arbor with the intention OF play
ing against the Armys l94o
opposition, the Society of Pre-
vention OF Cruelty TO Critters

i just as well for you, Runyon,
that when that guy was talking
about Blanchard and Davis as
ball carriers and runners, you
did not say you thought that
