JOLTS AND JARS
You know some people just
don't seem to have any mercy at
all (Do we"). Evidently not he
re use here we are back again af
ter a FORCED two week vacation
due ID the aid of parties unknown,
'j; tn too you were just set to
enjoy your Christmas holidays,
£.r,d you look at the back page
(1 nally) and io and behold here
we are. V.’e know it’s lough but
if you’ll £0 ahead and read the
rest of our discourse maybe it
\i%ont be so bad because we al-
V. ays save the best for last.
Ai la&t it it out; Jimmy Ham
rick and the Collegiales co on
tour during the Christmas holi
days. The lour begins with a date
in Montgomery, W. Va., Dec. 20,
then a dale in Bluefieid, down to
Keniucky, orer lo Tennessee; and
dates in the two Carolinas and
Virginia are pending. All of the
present members of the band will
ir.ake the trip excepting Vic Cline-
nan, Billy While, and Bob Truilt.
If mu'itians run true lo form
Jhrn this lour should be full of
liughs. kicks, and - - - I (Musn't
t£y the nauohly word).
All of you who are regular
tuner-iners to Fred Warings
nifhtly 15 minute broadcast will
probably be interested to know
that Donna Dae, featured fem
v'ocalist, was recently elected by,
the students of Fordham U. as the
1940 Sweetheart of the Campus.
Fred accompanied Donna as cha
perone!
Some gHj's are never satisfied:
now take Kenny Baker, ex-Jack
Benny and movie singer, who re-
centfy stepped into the classical
field when he made a concert ap
pearance with Jose Iturbi and
the Rochester Symphony at Ro
chester. Guess he was showing
his versatility?
Here are a few notes you Clas
sic cats might be interested in:
Lauritz Melchio haj one super-
yfition which is an absolute must
ATrs. Melchior must kick him as
tefore any singing performance:
he eoes out the door!
And From the Did-You-Know
Department
Barry Wood, singing star and
r?aster-of-ceremonies of the Hit
Parade, graduated from Yale Uni
versity in 1930. And while there
he captained the Water polo and
swimming teams, played sax in
the same band as Rudy Vallee. I
Did you? |
It was “Over There” and “Oh
How I Hate to Get Up In The
Morning’’ in the training camps
of the last war. Now comes the
1940 version, “Oh! They’re Mak
ing Me All Over Again in The
Army,” a streamlined description
of modern camp life.
Several months ago Charlie
Barnet recorded “Cherokee”, a
copper-skinncd snake dance that
resulted in his being initiated in
to the tribe as a chief, headdress
and all. Now he makes a bid for
a few more feathers in the bon
net with the release of “Redskin
Rhumba’’, a stomp war dance.
It was certain to come sooner
or later, so here it is; some guy
has written a sequel to “When
the Swallows Come Back to Ca-
pistranto’’ and it is quote “When
the Gooses Come Back to Massa
chusetts.”
At long last Jimmy Dorsey has
finally gotten a commercial. Jim
my through the aid of General
Amusement Corp. grabbed off the
Twenty Grand cig radio commer
cial to start either January 3 to
10. Jimmy and band will be
featured on the show according to
present plans with music being
emphasized.
One Closing Suggestion
If you can’t decide what to give
someone for Christmas why not
give some records. Every one
likes music. Some of the albums
of records that have been issued
would certainly knock some hep-
cat out. But if you want to give
records and can’t find anyone to I
give them to you can reach us in
care of the Maroon and Gold.
Well guess that’s all for this
year, so have a Merry Xmas and
a Happy New Year. P. S. We’ll
be thinking about you between—.

First, he discounts the follow
ing which big teams have amass
ed. This includes both alumni
and loyal friends. In manv cases
this following is larger than is
imagined. Didn’t 102.000 persons
pay to see Army and Navy, a
couple of second rate teams, play?
Those fans didn’t go to that game

name.
Second, the professor forgets
that colleges throughout the ra-
I tion have millions of dollars in
vested in stadiums, bowls and ath
letic plants. There is no doubt
that college athletics have been
placed on a commercial basi:
Does the profes.sor believe that
these colleges are going to give
up without a fight the goose that
is expected to lay the golden egg?
Third, it will take a period of
many years, more than ten, to
build up farm systems which can
come near comparing with the col
lege football factories now exist
ing. A farm system can be built
up, yes, but it will take time and
money.
Colleges Asset.
It seems to us that the logical
thing for professional club own
ers to do is to keep encouragin'
college football. There players
are developed at no expense to
them, and there would be a tre
mendous cost in operating a large
chain of teams.
But the professor says that col
leges will grow tired of serving as

farms. Not, we think, as Jon^ as
football farms. We, too. believe
there may be a revolution amon"
the smaller schools and that foot
ball will be dropped in many. But
the larger schools, as long as they
can draw thousands into their sta
diums every Saturday afternoon,
are not going to throw football
overboard.
Of course, if attendance drops
off, they may be forced to do so
but top notch teams can and will
continue to be developed, and
adept publicity agents can arouse
the interest of the public.
Time Too Short
Currently there is a move fori
de-emphasis in some of the largei
schools, but every time Yale or
Harvard loses a game, some other
team is winning one and growing i *
stronger.
