It ain't inny use fer a mar-
ried woman l' advise a single
gal not t' marry fer most sin-
gle gals wanta find out fer
themselves.
If ya can't help yer home
town don't criticize what th'
home folks is doin'.
WELL, sir, they "nally got all
this bowl gaim bizniss straight-
ened out an' now th' fans kin start
pickin' their choices t' win th' tilts
t' be staged January 1, what is
New Year's Day.
—ooooo—
As ya know by now Duke an'
Oregon will tie up in th' Rose
Bowl; Fordham an' Missouri in th'
Sugar at Nue Orleans; Alabama
an' Texas Aggies in th' Cotton at
Dallas an' th' Frogs o' T. C. U.
plays Georgia in th' Orange thing
in Florida.
— ooooo —
If I had my choice o' goin't' see
inny one o' th' four gaims I'd pick
th' Cotton Bowl affair. Th' Crimson
Tide o' Alabammie is a colorful
outfit what plays sensashunal foot-
ball at all times. Ya never kin tell
what they'll pull next. Th' Aggies
has one o' th' best passin' machines
in th' nashun an' this will help maik
th* Dallas gaim a thriller frum
whistle t' gun.
—ooooo—
Next choice fer me wud be th'
Fordham an' Missouri tussle. These
two teams air fighters frum way
back an' it'll be a real dog fight
'fore th' thing is finally settled. It
'peers t' me th' used-t'-be great
Rose Bowl out in Californie is suck-
in' a hind tit. They ain't got a elev-
en out there what ain't bin kicked
'round like a ' ome-brew cappin'
niachine. At full steam Duke oter
/ Vnip Oregon State 40 t* 0. Ya can't
/Stir up much interest in a contest
/ like that.
— ooooo —
I feel sorry fer th" poor ole Texas
Longhorns. No athletick outfit in
th' history o' sports in America
never took sich a tumble frum glory
t' gutter in sich a short time. After
th' Steers beat S. M. U. 34 t' 0 I'd
wud o' bet a secund-hand horse col-
ler agin a plug o' good chawin' to-
baccie they wud be playin' in one o'
th' bowls on Nue Yeer's Day.
Th' Longhorns cud o' got a invite
t' th' Orange Bowl in Florida but
turned it down. Ya know they is
nine married men on th' team an'
no wife want's her man t' go down
there t' Florida where bathin' beau-
ties clutter up th' streets, beaches
an' night clubs. I kinda suspect th'
wives sed they cudn't go without
them an' th' players decided it
wudn't be inny fun t' go with them
taggin' 'long.
— ooooo —
This is a good example o' my
contenshun football an' wimmen
won't mix. A player what is mar-
ried jist natchilly gits enuff fightin'
at night an' in th' mornin' an' is
kinda fed up on fightin' whin he
gits out on a football field in th'
afternoon. He'll fergit signuls
'cause he's got his mind on what
th' price o' pork chops an' eggs will
be next day. Every time he heers
"ten yards" he natchilly figgers
that's enuff cloth t' maik th' ole
woman a dress.
Th' "line" t* him is sumthin' t'
hang out th' wash on. He gits th'
meanin' o' "safety" mixe up with
sumthin' ya pin three-cornered
pants together with. Whin a man
gits married he taiks on a lotta
things t' think 'bout he never had t'
think T)0ut b'fore.
—ooooo—
Nope, I don't think a married
man has inny bizniss tryin't' play
football. 'Course if he kin maik a
livin' out o' it that's a horse o' a
differint color. But, whin he's
'spozed t' be doin'It fer fun an' a
eddycashun, 1 figger he better be
out plowln'.
—ooooo—
Innyhow, here's th' way I figger
th' bowl gaims will turn out:
Duke, 28—Oregon State, 7.
Fordham, 13—Missouri, 6.
T. C. U., 20—Georgia, 0.
A. & M., 19—Alabama, 10.
— ooooo —
Don't say I didn't warn ya.
