GUESS AGAIN!

The various rumors concerning the appointment of next year's football coach are found to have no foundation. The question is still in abeyance, and the affirmations and denials which have appeared in the press only serve to cloud the issues and render actual choice more difficult.

To a certain type of newspaper the ability to guess shrewdly is almost as great a necessity as membership in the Associated Press. To such papers a guess, if backed by proper attendant circumstances in fact, will create a sensation, will steal a march upon rival papers, and will attract more pennies into the strong box. And, after all, it may be true! Who knows?

Of course, if the guess misses the mark, that is unfortunate, but not vital. If a newspaper hasn't established a reputation for scrupulousness on these little points, there is nothing to lose by a wrong guess.
