Arthur Sampson said recently in the Herald that "a tough early season game often is a blessing in disguise--when weak opposition allows improperly timed plays to look good there is nothing gained toward development." Thus from a purely football point of view, the game was even worse than worthless.

They serve only to while away the long hours of retired nutmeg manufacturers, and provide the thin veneer of background to match the slurred R's of the midwestern matron. The refuge for Americans too far developed for the rubber-neck wagon excursions, however, is the American colony in Paris, which...
