Cliche Expert In Milk Street Interview Claims Harvard or Yale May Win

Dr. John T. Smoke-Stack Advises Crimson to Watch Captain Frank Today

Interviewed yesterday in a hall bedroom off Milk Street Dr. John T. Smoke-Stack said that Harvard would win or Yale would. "But you reds will have to watch Frank," he added. The following in the text of the interview with the cliche expert.

Q. Do you qualify as an expert? To make a long story short, have you been associated with the game for many years and have you been closely identified with the sport over a long period of time?

A. You, sir. I am a familiar figure at similar events.

Q. Where is Yale University?

A. Yale is in New Haven, Connecticut.

Q. What is it like?

A. Yale is an institution of higher learning supported by loyal alumni and wealthy friends. It has modern, fireproof buildings within five minutes of the Hotel Taft and also a distinguished faculty composed of well-known professors.

Q. Does Yale have a razzle-dazzle team that plays heads-up football?

A. No, sir. It has an aggressive forward wall and a highly touted backfield. In the opening period Captain Clint Frank will run like a doer and he will pass with deadly accuracy in the final minutes. Between the halves he will exhort his team-mates to greater heights.

Q. Take Harvard. It is a hard-working aggregate of clean limbed youths?

A. A disastrous fumble or a costly mistake may give Harvard a long sought victory and a well-merited win.

Q. I notice, Dr. Smoke-Stack, that you are fashionably dressed in the latest style. Do you anticipate a cold north wind?

A. Unless there is a heavy rain or a steady drizzle. The weather bureau predicts a perfect football day, but a scoreless tie will result in a winter of discontent.

Q. Ah hah! Then you fool that the umpiring will be a well-handled job? Performed without fear or favor? No ample scops for improvement, here, or crying need for reform?

A. The umpiring, sir, will be cause for comment, a subject of dispute, and a matter of investigation.
