That's all there is to it and don’t try-to make anything more out of it, either.” Hirschfield, a - stocky, . gray. haired man, is downright surly to reporters who want to know how he so consistently can estab lish in advance not only the winner or loser of any particular {college game but the actual margin of victory or defeat.
