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

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

Q. What about the coaches? I have beard both from a usually reliable source and from a spokesman close to head-quarters that Coach Harlow will start eleven men.

A. That is not only the correct version but it also rings true. Coach Pond is worried to death over the traditional contest which may be a close game with a narrow margin of victory. In an exclusive statement to a well-attended interview he said, "Following my instructions Yale will use a deceptive offense and an iron defense. Our line will be: two Ends, two Tackles, a pair of Guards, and a hard Center." Neither coach will hazard a prediction, but both men flatly deny rumors.

Q. What will the snake dance be like, Dr. Smoke-Stack?

A. When the final whistle is blown a joyful throng will make a bee-line for the goal-posts. Unless these are stoutly defended they will be torn to shreds in the twinkling of an eye. By this time one band will have struck up a tune and the other will have beat a hasty retreat. The crowd, of course, will mill around and the police will nab old offenders. I autloipate numerous celebrations of the victory and frequent brushes with the police.

Q. Just one more question. Is Harvard an odds on favorite or does it have a fighting chance. Has it been picked to win or is it a forlorn hope?

A. As it dons its equipment for the approaching battle the Harvard team will have one of three attitudes. It won't be sick with fear, naturally, but it may await the kick-off with confidence, quake at the thought of defeat, or vow never to yield.

Q. Thank you.

A. Thank you
