One involves a very prominent business man who lives in the Palmer Park area. Daughter of a friend who is a judge very frequently parked her car on the driveway of their apartment house, strictly an illegal procedure.

As a gag, the businessman called the police and complained that the car should be ticketed. An hour or so later, having for NEW YORK Something highly perverse in my nature loudly applauds the recent episode of the skinny little Yale manager, Charlie Yeager, slipping into a floppy football suit and catching a pass for a point after touchdown.

In the average game today you could stick a headgear on Lassie and send her in as a defensive halfback and nobody would remark about the waving tail.
