UPSETS
Reading edition
Thus far, the football season of 1927 has been one of upsets. Nothing has turned out according to the dope. Therefore, in its remaining weeks, we predict the following startling deviations from form:
1. It will not rain the day of the Big Game.
2. We shall have no more than a dozen requests for “a couple of seats.”
3. Our own seats will be, not in the wooden stands behind the scoreboard, but out in full view of the field. (We have to laugh even when writing this in fun.)
4. There will not be an intoxicated man in a rhinoceros coat directly in front of us who jumps up at the sound of the whistle.
5. There will not be a small man with a 13½ collar behind us who has ideas on how the team should be run.
6. The game will not have started while we are milling around in the crowd at the gate.
7. Nobody will fall down the steps.
8. Holding tickets for two seats, we shall find that there is space left in which two people can sit without being married to each other.
9. We shall not be too hot above the waist and too cold below.
10. Harvard will win and we shall see ten dollars of Donald Ogden Stewart’s money.
