An official was talking about just that in a smoking compart- ment as the war correspondents rumbled toward the Dartmouth- Cornell game in Hanover. “Yes, sir,” he said, stretching his legs, lighting a cigar, “you hear some funny ones, but the most amazing pair of monologues I ever listened to came in that in- sane-asylum 33-33 game Dart- mouth played against Yale. “Yale was leading, 26 to 3. It looked like a rout to everyone in the Bowl, especially me. Then Bill Morton got off a long pass, Dart- mouth scored, and it was 26 to 10. “Well, I bent over to listen to what was going on in the Dart- mouth huddle. There was Morton and Bill McCall, the fellow who catches his passes, so eager they could hardly wait to decide the play. “‘Listen, Morton kept saying. “They're on the run. We've got ‘em. It's a cinch. All we need is three touchdowns!’ “All they needed was three touchdowns! Tmagine that against ing things or else Morton had gone self when Yale got the ball, and I crossed over to stick an ear in their huddle. “Well, this Albie Booth called those giants around him, and they “‘Get this’ he barked at them. ‘Dartmouth’s clicked. They're go- ing to run wild. It's going to be a tough fight. If any of you guys want to get out of here, now’s the time to speak up.’ a Yale team. I thought I was hear- | nutty.

But those kids knew what they were talking about. “Half an hour later they were tied, 33-33, and I tell you I never was.” | Heat At Athens | One of the most extraordinary | contrasts of the gridiron season occurred in the south on the Sat. ! urday that Tulane walloped Geor- gia and Tennessee took the meas- ure of Vanderbilt. ! At Athens no fewer than 18 | penalties were stepped off by the referee during an afternoon that was balmier in more ways than | one. Up at Knoxville not a single | penalty was called. So far as I have observed both are records for | major competitions this season. If they also had penalized the | sideline crowd at Athens for being | offside or unneccesarily rough, the | afternoon would have developed linto a track meet for the gentle- | men officiating. Hanes Hooks Catfish Before the Battle of Athens,the big argument revolved around Cat- | fish Smith and Jerry Dalyrymple, | the rival candidates for All-Ameri- ca end. At least one southern gen- | tleman, somewhat partial to Geor- gia, was willing to wager the Cat- ends on the field combined. The final summary showed Vernon (No-nickname) Haynes, Tulane’s other end, with six points, Smith with one and Dalyrymple with none. FOR RACING | 1% FLORIDA Miami Prepares for Winter | Event with Elaborate Plants | MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 10.—Devotees of racing are turning toward Mi- ami, standing on the threshold of what promises to be the city's greatest racing season. Hoofbeats will echo through the | balmy winter air for at least 90 days this year as the “sport of kings” holds sway. The greyhounds also will run. The Pari-mutuel system of wag- ering, approved at a special elec- tion provided in Florida's racing law adopted by the state legisla- ture last summer, will be in vogue at all tracks. Forty-Five Days Forty-five day race meets have been planned by the Miami Jockey club at Hialeah Park and by the Gables Racing association at the new tropical park track in Coral Gables. Work is being rushed to the two plants for the early arrival of thoroughbreds. An extensive remodeling project has been carried out at Hialeah Park during the summer months as a part of an improvement program costing $1,300,000. n One of the features of improve- ment is the construction of an out- door paddock. Joseph E. Widener, chairman of the board of directors of the jockey club, said he hoped the paddock would encourage in- terest of fans in the horses rather direction of Frank J. Bruen, who expects to have it ready for open- ing during this month. Among the more prominent thor- oughbred owners whose horses will be seen at Miami are: Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, Marshal Field, Col. E. R. Bradley, Greentree Sta- bles, Bellair Stud, George D. Wid- ener, Joseph E. Widener, Willis Sharpe Kilmer, C. E. Knebelkamp and others. THOUSANDS SPENT ON WINTER HOMES, FLORIDA RESORT PAL MBEACH, Fla., Dec. 10— Wealthy Palm Beach owners have spared no expense in preening their estates and residences for the 1931-32 winter season. Hundreds of thousands of dol- have gone into new homes on the island, and into additions to build- ings, landscaping, flower nurseries and seawalls. ‘Almost a dozen luxurious new homes have been built during the summer of which probably the most attractive is the new residence of P. H. B. Frelinghuysen of 'Morris- town, N. J. Other expensive homes have been erecte for Mrs. Arthur Somers Roche, Mrs. Charles Harrington, and for Vincent Bendix, the latter two from Chicago. Maj. Barclay H. Warburton of Jenkinstwon, Pa., has spent $80,000 remodeling his home, James H. Kennedy has spent $50,000, while H. C. an J. S. Phipps have improved their estates at a cost of $60,000. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury of Philadelphia, social captains here for many years, had a staff of 25 men working on a plan of beautifi- cation at “El Mirasol,” their resi- dence. than the outcome of the races.
