It al ways was around Oct. 1 when the boys in the moleskins and leather helmets got going. Of course, in those days foot ball didn’t attract the crowds and wasn’t considered the greatest sports attraction. With the up surge of interest, it was but na tural for the backers of football to want to lengthen the season and get in as many games as pos sible. They are moving it up more every year. The pros begin in July, the high schopls in August, the colleges September 1, or, in some instances, earlier. THE ALMANAC says autumn begins the third week in Septem ber. That’s the first time there can be weather favorable to young men working in the ponderous re galia of the grid game. Football could start Oct. 1 and there would be 10 dates for games if the season extended into mid- December. That is, in the south west and the south. Of course, in the east and midwest it becomes too cold to play football in Decem ber. But it’s cool enough to start in September in those areas. ibits a lems! * firestone* An^orsarf!
