Touchdown Twins Will Play With N.Y. Americans, * But—Who'l Block ?—John’s White Horse, Maybe
By HARRY
FERGUSON
Ubited Press Sports Editor. : ; NEW YORK, Oct. '14.—Once upon a time a football coach dreamed that he died and went to heaven. When he
arrived, he discovered:
1. That he had an iron-clad, 90-year contract at a
salary of $50,000 per annum,
2. That there were no alumni to snipe at him because
no one ever was graduated. 8. That time stood still and, therefore, John Kimbrough and Tom Harmon would be playing. in his backfield forever, On ‘Sunday afternoon part | of that dream will.come true for Jack McBride, coach of a professional football. team known as the New York Americans.
to dim the glare of the two Holly~ * ?|wood stars. Your agent would like to predict that Harmon and Kimbrough will run up an adding machine score against the Bulls, but every time he gets ready to do.so he thinks back to a warm afternoon in Florida years ago. The great Red Grange had comé to town at the height of his glory,

As they say in Hollywood where Harmon and Kimbrough have heenle conditioning for this epic struggle
'Iby blocking ‘the villain and then
winning a cutie in the last reel, the proceedings will be a wee bit colossal. ; Kimbrough has been appearing in those pictures - where somebody inevitably says, “You and Jed keep on chasing them varmints along the tage coach road, Pete, and I'll take the short cut through the hills and try to head ‘em off at Dead Man’s Gulch.” Use a Horse for Blocking?
For ‘all this deponent knoweth, Jarrin’ Jawn may appear on the field with a white horse to do his blocking for him. He's going to need some blockers, because Harmon is a runner and so is Bill Hutchinson, a 156-pound hipper-
dipper man, who also will be in the
Americans’ backfield. Harmon’s labors in the groves of thespis have been more true to type. With an #stounding reversal of its usual . practices, Hollywood cast him as a football player. Your agent has not witnessed the dramatic spectacle, “Harmon of Michigan,” but a. trustworthy spy viewed Tom’s performance and brought back the report thdt Spencer Tracy had nothing to worry about. There is no way the poor Columbus Bulls can match this array of dramatic power short of hiring Lana Turner, Marlene Dietrich, Claudette Colbert and Deanna Durbin for their backfield. Latest re-
