- An unusually nice football stadium, by John Clymer. Now, wouldn’t you think these boys would abandon their game and just stand there drinking in the glory of the autumn world? No, you wouldn’t. Could it be that 50,000 people, instead of motoring out from town to sit on these hillsides and soothe their souls with golden beauty, are behind the mountains stacked up in a gridiron bowl? Alack, could be. Well, let us stay right here, watching the moving brush of sunlight and cloud shadow change the land from orange to russet to flame. A-ta-boy, you young ball carrier, break loose, lift the goal line! Watching, too, the far hills melt from violet into … We want a touchdown! The theme seems to be that it takes split vision to watch America in the fall.
