This is from The Life of Riley from 1945 or 46. ANNOUNCER KEN CARPENTER: Well, the football season is here once again, and that means that Rileys son Junior, captain of the John J. Boscowitz Junior High School eleven, is the most important boy in the world. To Riley. We find them at the dinner table where Riley is giving Junior a few pointers for the opening game on Saturday. RILEY: Now listen, Junior. The guy you got to watch out for is this fullback Anderson, see. PEG: Oh, Riley, stop talking and finish your dinner. RILEY: Yeah, yeah. Just a second. BABS: Daddys right. Andersons terrific at making passes. (took audience a couple of seconds to get that one) JUNIOR: Dont worry. Im pretty good at intercepting them. RILEY: Now Junior, heres another tip. JUNIOR: Now dont worry, pop, we have a coach. RILEY: Oh. So, youd rather listen to the coach than your own father. PEG: Why shouldnt he? Since when are you an authority on football? RILEY: Peg, you seem to forget, I played quarterback 3 years for good ol M.I.T. BABS: M.I.T.??? Why daddy, you never went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. RILEY: Im talking about the Manhattan Independent Truck drivers. (total audience laughter) We were tops in the industrial league. We ran over everybody. BABS: Oh, daddy.
