T MAY seem odd to suggest that
the Ri. Hon. DR.. John Balm
sutherland, better known as Jock,
IS tackling new sort Of job. The
job is still coaching football team,
but this time it is the Brooklyn
Dodgers and not the Pittsburgh Pam
Tiers.
This is my first shot at pro foot
ball." Jock tells you, land I'll have
to admit it may be something en-
tirely different.
For example, there's the matter
OF forward passing. As you know
we liked to hang onto the ball at
Pittsburgh as long as we could. I
used good passers when 1 had them,
but didn't like to throw the ball
around too much when 1 didn't have
them.
1T is different with the Dodgers.
We have the passers, one of the
best in Ace Parker, and We'll do
our full share of air work. I know
also that pro crowds demand more
open or more spectacular game.
College football is full of spectacular
play, but no fireworks are demanded
by the crowds
Big crowds still remember those
slashing Panther backs who ran and
blocked with an offensive that was
hard to stop.
Speed Before Weight
Being new at this pro game"
Jock continued, 81 may be entirely
wrong, but still don't believe
weight is as important as some 9TH
ers do. I'd rather have a fast 100
pound lineman than a slower player
at 23O or 240. still believe in speed
far above bulk. That extra yard
or two in moving around means
more than you might think"
What about a big, fast MANI" I
asked Jock.
GAS for instance?" Jock asked.
"Well, Cal Hubbard?"
How many Hubbards do you see
around?" Jock said. 81 mean 240
or 245-pound players who are just as

Strange Facts
All Wires DotUn
8 Per Cent Film !
3-Weeks' Bath

q During the Pareshnath process
sion, staged yearly by the jams in
India, all telephone, telegraph and
trolley wires crossing the line of
march are temporarily removed
SO that the Great Indradwaja, a
50-foot banner, can pass without
being lowered.
q The average motion picture,
when released, contains only 8 per
cent of the film that was "shot"
during production. Although the
90 per cent that goes into the edi-
tors wastebasket is not entirely
wasted from a technical stand
point, it does sometimes contain
songs, small parts in their entirety
and even whole scenes that have
been taken on expensive sets.
q. Scientific studies reveal that
the majority of people work more
efficiently Immediately after a
change in weather, not only on a
clear day following a storm, but
also during storm following sew
eral days Of sunshine.
So
q The longest baths on record are
those taken by the patrons of the
mineral spring resort at Shira-
hone, Japan. Many of the bathers
will lie in the large, shallow tanks
for three weeks at time, pack
ing smooth stones on and about
themselves at night to prevent
turning over and drowning in their
sleep-Collier's.
