Once more that amazing brain
child of Arch Ward is with us
namely the college all star-pro
football champs' game. Said is
usually pretty interesting over
the radio in fact, it's about as
Interesting, and a lot more com
fortable to hear than to watch.
Basis for the above, lies in good
old experience. Before last year's
game I was told by a Chicago
citizen, who had seen the previous
contest, that once was enough
that he preferred the radio and a
"nice cool drink," not enlarging
further on the latter. Upon at
tending the 37 to 16 lesson the Chi
Bears gave the college boys, I
learned why.
Another Bumpkin.
Like some 100,000 other bump
kins who stormed the Windy City
to see their favorites play (every
body in-Chicago proper except
Arch Ward and some of those
who have passes seems to stay
home), I arrived at Soldiers Field
bright and early 7:30 p. m., day
Tight saving, in order to see all of
,what is called the "opening cere-
monies," as well as the pre-game
warmup. The latter, incidentally,
was the only opportunity to see
some of the "all-stars" in any
thing like action.
Said game, I believe was to be
gin at 8 o'clock but by the time
the brass hats had been shooed
off, and after a quite pointless in
troduction of each starting player
by means of a spotlight on the
darkened field, it was about 8:30.
The game wasn't any faster
George Halas used one team on
offense, another on defense, and
toward the end, the college
coaches began running in enough
substitutes to choke the legendary
bovine.
Gruesome Halftime.
For brevity, we'll omit the
gruesome highpoints of the half
time ceremonies, which took a
good half hour instead of the
usual 15 or 20 minutes. Anyway,
it was nearly midnight when the
game was over, and it hadn't been
very interesting at that, after
Harmon and Franck had tired
from some mauling that would
make some of the rassles at ye
ol' state fairgrounds look like &
kindergarten recess.
Since some 99,444 of the faith
ful 100,000 were from such places
as Lincoln, Neb., Minneapolis,
Minn., and Davenport, la., senti
ment was decidedly pro-all star,
therefore anti-Bear. But when the
Bears started to roll in the last
quarter there was neither senti
ment nor spirit left But maybe
there wasn't much spirit in the
first place at least there wasn't
enough to make the crowd stand
up at the opening kickoff, and
that, dears, is my idea of the
height in gridiron tan treason.
But stop! There was spirit
yes, from a small delegation of
La Grange, 111., fans, close to my
Senior Recital
Given in Union
Elaine Weiand, clarinetist and
Janice Babcock, pianist, presented
their senior recital in the Student
Union ballroom Tuesday. About
50 heard the program.
The program follows: Sonata No. 2.
Op. 120, by Brahms, Miss Weiand and
Miss Babcock; Sonata in O Major, last
movement, by Mozart, Geraldine Kelley,
piano; Dawn, by Curran, Beantce Prince,
voice; Starlight by MacDowell, Lela
Lyne, piano; Allegretto in the style of
Porpora by K rosier, Ted Brunson. violin;
The Little Star, by La Forge, Barbara
Mack, voice; Sonata in D Major, by
Handel, John Dunkelberger, violin.
seat on the 138-yard line. La
Grange, you know, is the Chicago
suburb, which landed George
Paskvan as a starter on the
team. Paskvan was no punk, tho;
he was an all Big Ten man at
Wisconsin.
Yes, this year it's going to be
nice and soft to relax at the ra
dio, with above mentioned "nice,
cool drink" in hand. It's lots
easier to turn a dial than to walk
out of a crowded stadium. And
you don't have to take the trouble
to watch a little guy like Charlie
O'Rourke being chased down by
two or three 270 pound "Gar
gantua's, then sling a 40 yard
pass to Black Boy Jack Robinson
who runs away from three more
"Gargantua's" for a touchdown.
You can have your own iced tea
instead of watching Sid Luck
man pour the Bear variety in a
way that made Stanford's Rose
Bowl exhibition look pretty pale.
And it doesn't cost anything to
stay at home. But, darnit, just
let me get my hands on trainfare
to Chicago and $2.20 (tax in
cluded), and I'll see you on the
140-yard line this time.
