...regards the New England situation at least, one wonders if his announcement of football's demise is not slightly premature. If tickets to the Harvard-Yale game had been $2.50 each instead of $4.00, would not the bowl have been filled last Saturday (assuming, of course, that the sun shone!)? Aren't such games, which serve as much as social gatherings as athletic spectacles, so deeply embedded in tradition that they will continue indefinitely? And, if the non-collegiate public has lost its taste for college games, won't the professional teams, which are gaining in popularity, keep the sport...

In a far corner was an English gentleman in a Burberry, whose reverent hands stroked a pipe bowl that shone like well dressed leather. Here were three others helping a fourth decide between a crook necked and a straight stemmed. And there alone was one in a suit of tweed who gazed in silence at a loaded case lost in rapture and musing upon the greatness of a god that...
