Players Mental SIonts
Govern Upsets.

Coaches know the answer to what
We call upsets in football They
hinge on the rise or fall of the BOYS
mental slant on game. Remember
that college football players, for the
most part, are only kids. They are
likely to be up one Saturday and
down the next or, if not down, in
a mental state where it is impossible
to rouse them for game.
That often is the case where a
f1rst-rate team, having knocked off
a strong foe one Saturday, falls
before weak one the next. The
letdown from the first game finds
them incapable of being steamed up
for the next because the opposition
isn't strong enough to fire them.
Throw them in against another
strong team and they would be
likely to win. But there is nothing
in weak or ordinary opponent to
drive them to the pitch they knew
when they scored that victory the
week before.

of Sammy Baugh as the only other
Washingtonian with a chance to
make the squad.
Bert Bell, owner-coach of the
Philadelphia Eagles, still thinks
Davey O'Brien the greatest football
player I ever saw. When you real
ize," Bell explained, that Davey
played SO minutes against Green
Bay, SO minutes against the Chicago
Bears, SO minutes against the Pitts
burgh Pirates on a Sunday and 60
minutes against the same team four
days later, you must believe that
he's shown he can stand up and take
it in footballs fastest company. And
if you think his size is a hindrance,
you should have seen him tackle
that Osmanski head-on. AS long as
he's got it here" concluded Bell,
pointing to his heart, 'Davey will do
all right. Sure he'll be back next
year"

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 11.-If
it's any consolation to them, the
New York Giants scattered to their
homes today with guarantee of more
money coming to each than the
Redskins received when they won
the worlds championship at Chi
cago two years ago. Yesterdays
record gross gate of $83,5l035 for
National League playoffs means that
every Packer player will receive

BY GRANTLAND RICE,

6peClhl correspondent OF Inc Star.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. II (N.A.
N.A0.-Three thousand miles to
the north and east football is over
for another year, with the players
turning to other sports or giving
full-time attention to their books.
Out here-and through the rest of
the sun belt that stretches across
the South, with the Rose Bowl, the
Sugar Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, the
Orange Bowl, the Sun Bowl and
the North-South and East-West
games on up ahead-there still is
plenty of action on the gridiron-
and plenty of football talk to be
heard in the towns.
Sitting around with some foot
ball coaches the other night, I asked
them for their outline of the ideal
football player. The composite an
swer didn't surprise me. 1t stressed
size. weight, power, speed, and,
above all, disposition.
That's the main requisite-dis-
position. I have seen-and so have
you-boys who became great foot
ball players on what we sometimes
call spirit. Big or little the thing
that drove them and made them
great was their spirit. Only the
coaches call it disposition.
Footballs IdeoI Player
Optimistic Pessimist.'
A long time ago Bob Zuppke
broke that down for me.
The ideal football player" he
said, should be an optimistic pes
simist"
That sounded like rare COM
bination.
Sure it's rare" Zup said. so
are ideal football players. But
that's the way they must be. Look
heres what I mean Taking the
field boy must hope for the best
and believe he'll win. That's where
he is an optimist But If things
break badly for him or for the
team he must not be shocked or
surprised. He must be able to say
to himself, Well, I expected some
thing like that
That's where he's a pessimist.
But remember, he's an optimistic
pessimist. So he says to himself
that in spite of the bad break, if he
just keeps banging away everything
is going to be all right"

Dismiss Request

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (P)- The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the request of the American Federation of La bor to review the National Labor Relations Board decision giving CIO longshoremen exclusive bar gaining privileges on the West Coast. The court held that they lacked jurisdiction.
 The Labor Board counsel con tended that under the Labor Act the Boards certification of the CIO International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's union as a bargaining unit was not review able unless the case was brought before court on a question of enforcement.

NEW YORK, N. "a one hundred per cent denunciaton of Hhlers
Nai government in Germany for their mercness war against ant-Nazi
minorhies, with especial emphasis on the persecution of the Jews, as part
of a definite plan to destroy democratic peoples and institutions that men
ace the Hitler dictatorship, featured the address of President William
Green of the American Federation of Labor at a mass meeting in Madison
Square Garden, sponsored by the American Jewish Congress, to protest
against the continued victimizaton of Jews in Germany.
Declaring that Hihers first official acts were to destroy the free,
democratic trade union movement in Germany and to institute a reign
of terror against the Jews" Mr.. Green pointed out that the wanton per-
secution of these two democratic groups is the logical sequence of the
Nazi philosophy that 'the people are servants of the state and have no
rights only duties" According to the Nzi philosophy, he said, "he state
is supreme" adding: Since in Germany Hitler is the state. this philosophy

LABOR WILL DEFEND
GUARANTEED RIGHTS
OF u. ). CONSTITUTION

The Montana Labor News is the
voice of Labor in this community
and is edited and published in the
interest of all of the people.
Most important among its duties is
that of preserving American indie
pendence and institutions, and the
rights granted to the people by the
constitution.
Among these r the rights of free
speech and free assembly and any
thing abridging these rights will be
resisted to the utmost. If the miners
of Butte choose to rent their hall to
any faction for the purpose of open
ly expressing their views they should
not be condemned.
The Butte Miners Union is a lib
eral and tolerant organization, seek
ing to preserve American institu-
tons. They represent possibly 5000
men of Butte, of all shades Of
thought and opinion and of all re-
ligions.
In this regard, no member has
ever been denied the privilege Of
speaking his belief on the floor Of
the union.
In the opinion of many true and
loyal and capable American citizens
in this community, the editorials in
the Standard if not actually advo-
eating riot and violence were GER
tainly on the border line.
The Montana Standard selected a
time when every level headed per-
son in the United States from the
President down was advising mod
Grafton, to raise the ugly head of
intolerance and to advocate violence
and riot over a question which might
have international aspects.
More serious than any other phase
was the principle involved, that OF
free speech and the right of any
person OF group in the country to
air their views in the open.
Butte people at the meeting dem
onstrated that they are still capable
of using moderation and judgment
and that plain m sense is the
answer to most of our problems.
Every thinking mar knows that
most of the material being used in
the daily press is propaganda of one
sort or another.
Other papers may become alarmed
at the fact that communism may
have Spokesman in this country but
the Labor News will view with
alarm only the fact that our I'M
employed are still underfed; that
the politicians of the state have
failed in their trust to the people of
Montana; and that want and suffer-
ing in u community are still the
rule. 1t is our view that decent
working conditions and proper care
of u needy are all that is required
to combat Communism, Fascism,
Nazism or any other ism that we
may have to meet and we still adj
vocate the Bill of Rights of the
United States including the right of
Free Speech.

RIGHT OF UNION
TO BRING ACTION
DEFENDED IN COURT

The right of the Butte Miners
Union to appear in court as one of
the plaintiffs in the eight-hour day
case was questioned by the A. c. M.
Co. in a motion, presented in Judge
Lynch's court, last Saturday. 1t was
contended that individual miners
alone, and not the union, could
bring the action.
Phil O'Donnell and c. l.. thinner
man, for the plaintiff, commended
that individual miners, bringing
such an action, might be subject to
blacklisting and discrimination; that
the miners were entitled to present
their case through the union which
was their authorized collective bar
gaining agency; that the right of col
lective bargaining had been recog-
nized by the company and by the
federal and state statutes; and that,
to deny the Miners Union the right
to sue in court, would be to deny
the right of collective bargaining.
1t was argued that, if the law were
being violated by the company, the
union had to choose between a
strike and an action in court. The
choice of legal proceedings was op-
posed by the A. c. M. Co. and by
the 1. W. w. The latter in its paper,
1.-THE Industrial Worker" claimed
that the Miners Union showed too
much confidence in the courts. Be-
tween these two, the Miners Union
has exercised its right to ask the
courts, under the constitution, to de-
termine whether the eight-hour day
law has been violated. The motion
was taken under advisement.
