Army marksmen all know the story about the old rifleman who never took a bath during the National Shoot because "it might change his conditions." Last week at a Democratic victory dinner in Hartford, Governor-elect Wilbur Lucius Cross of Connecticut, 68, Dean-Emeritus of Yale's Graduate School, attributed his good health during his rigorous campaign to the fact that he was too busy to take a bath. While younger and sturdier associates succumbed to minor ills, said Governor-elect Cross, he never felt better in his life. "When I returned home after a rally it would...
...Yale graduates. While in college they led cheers, edited papers, rowed, played hockey, managed musical clubs and were otherwise popular and prominent: Since college days, by far the most spectacular has been William Averell Harriman, able, active son of the late great Edward Henry Harriman-who with $400,000,000 at his command controlled 60,000 miles of railroad, built up Union Pacific, fought the memorable battle with James Jerome Hill over Northern Pacific...
...Great God Pigskin Sickens." So says the Daily Northwestern. "Long, irksome drills, coupled with necessity for victory, have tended to dampen the ardor even of those who love the game most," writes the Rutgers Targum. In the Yale News appears the following ultimatum: members of the "Big Three must either fall in line with the thoroughly up-to-date type (of football) as played by such teams as Notre Dame; or they must frankly recognize that football skill, glory, strength, and prestige is no longer centralized in Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, and set about to engage in less elaborate...
...What the Yale News says concerning the old "Big Three" is true. Its application to Princeton is that, for one thing, inter-sectional games should have no place on the Tiger's schedule. The gold nugget in the H--Y--P President's Agreement of the early twenties was its ban on inter sectionalism: and the Princetonian of that day hailed the passing of cross-country rivalry "as a mark of progress." We lament its return as a mark of regress, and predict that in the far distant, but far saner future only natural rivals will do battle...
...Yale pleads for a discarding of pretence. Its team must, "either be first rate or else admit a change of viewpoint and will fully take a back seat." As long ago as early October, we made the same plea in regard to the hollow sham and empty gesture of deferred practice. It has failed miserably of its purpose: and because early season games on the next two year's schedule are already arranged, the 15th of September ruling must go and one pretence at least be removed. When the mortgaged future has elapsed, we earnestly recommend an abbreviated schedule...
