Letters to The Star
Some Questions for DR.. Paris


70 the 1ditor Of The Star:
In letter to The Star of November 10. DR..
Wendall A. Paris, president Of the Health
Physical Education and Recreational Associa-
tion, speaks in favor Of sex education in the
schools. He asserts that changed conditions
and the expanse Of knowledge make 1t necss-
sary for the school to assist the home more and
more in its educational functions.
In reply, ask where will this process end?
What If the allegedly expert instruction In
school contradicts what the parents teach to be
true? Moreover, who is to decide which theory
OF sex is correct? A large segment Of the
teaching profession is enthusiastically in favor
Of divorce and birth control. Are the students
to be told that their parents are just old
fashioned or fanatics? In such case the last
crumbling fragments Of parental prestige and
authority are done away with.
DR.. Paris points to the fact that "today the
mothers time and energy often go into other
tasks" Isn't the problem, then, one Of getting
the mother back on the job instead Of encour-
aging her to think that an all-wise school
knows far better than she about almost any
thing that touches the life Of her child whom
she has known since birth?
Any one with experience in personal guild
ance knows that personal interview is far
mass instruction, especially in the problems
that DR.. Paris stresses keep youth awake on
troubled nights" Whether father mother,
student counselor. physician clergyman or
some one else is best suited in any given case is
certainly not best decided by the Board Of
Education.
A final point DR.. Paris believes that sex
instruction and guidance should be left to
persons trained in biology, physiology psy-
chology and sociology. Excellent perhaps so
far as the relatively exact sciences OF biology
and physiology are concerned. But from what
school of psychology and sociology, and of.
philosophy and theology, too, should the teach
er be chosen? In every one Of these fields q
real war is on between the various schools Of
thought And personally I believe that the
minority opinion on the subject Of birth con-
troll and divorce is morally and scientifically
the true one.
Must I, q taxpayer, tolerate the public
schools being used as an instrument to cram
. majority opinion down the throats of the
children Of parents who share my views? De-
batable matters that touch SO intimately upon
ultimate liberties certainly must be kept out
Of public education. Otherwise we will soon
be witnessing the emergence in our own coun-
try Of the totalitarian state

The Clash of Champions, q
battle between the nations top
collegiate hockey team and the
nations top senior amateur
club, is booked as a benefit
event at $3.50 p. M. at the Sports
Arena December 6.
The University of Michigan's S
powerful hockey sextet, winners
of the National Collegiate Ath-

RADIO Springs last year, will face
the Toledo Mercurys, winners OF
the American Hockey Associa-
tion's senior open championship
last season, in a charity game
for the benefit of the Old News
boys Goodfellows Association.
Michigan still has the top men
from the team which won 18
games lost two and tied one
last season. Actually, three
members of last years club are
no longer with the group, but
they have been replaced by very
capable sophomores. Seven of
the II lettermen already have
put in three years of hockey at
the Michigan school.
The Wolverines are certain
they are not going out of their
class in taking on an Interna-
tional Hockey League club.
Michigan has beaten the Wind
sor SpitfierS, which finished in
first place last year, four out of
five times in the past three sea-
sons.
The Mercurys appear to be
the class of the IHL at present
on top in both the North
ern and Southern Divisions of
the IHL and are early-SeaSon
favorites to take the title in at
least one of these sectors.

Season Dec. 5

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Dec. g.
With their seasons opener a
gainst Illinois on Dec. 8, a scant
few days away, Notre Danes
basketball hopefuls are begin
ming to buckle down to serious
work in their daily practice ses-
sions. Coach Ed (Moose) Krause
has been wedding out the green
material, and he has found that
his squad for the 1948-49 season
is much the same as last years.
Heading the list of returning
monogram winners is All-Amer-
lean Kevin OShea, superb ball
handler and dribbler. O'Shea, a
junior, is expected to spark the
Irish cagers for the third
straight year from his guard
position.
Center John Brennan, who
led the l946-l947 team in scor-
ing, is back again for his third
season of play. The broken arm
that kept him out of most of
last season is completely healed,
and he is being counted on to
supply plenty of the scoring
punch under the basket that the
1947-48 team lacked.
Other monogram men from
last seasons quintet that num-
bered Kentucky, DePaul, and
New York University among its
victims are Center John Foley,
Forwards Frank kaufman, and
Dick Kluck. Guards John Lotus
and Richard Giedlin are the
most promising af the newcom-
ers and should see plenty of
action.

The Old Game Ain'f
Whof Ii Used TO Be

Graybeards from another ten
pin era like nothing better than
to sit around and chew the fat
about the good old bowling
days" In words dripping with
nostalgia they slip sweetly back
to the time when the sport was
a close buddy to thick cigar
smoke, creamy beer and the free,
uninhibited speech of men among
men.
Yet, despite that these mo-
ments from out of the past are
held so dear and summoned back
so often, only scattered few of
the old guard will refuse to yield
that Bowling as it is known to-
day is ten times the game it was
few short decades ago.
In the fledgling days at the
turn of the century, saloons and
Bowling were synonymous, so
close they were practically hy-
phenated. When one felt the urge
to roll a few games, he'd wipe
the beer-foam from his mustache
and HE himself down to the
basement or into side-room -
either of which was invariably
cold and damp and full of gro
tesque shadows drawn by flick
ering gas-light.
After a choice between the two
lanes Cor if it was a big" place,
the four lanes) had been made
and after a Bowery type char
acter had been located to set up
the pins by hand, our old-time
trundler would start looking for
a ball. He had a wide selection
Of perhaps six-all two-fingered
and made of lignum vitae. 1t
mattered little that these hard
wood spheroids were lop-sided
and warped.
And the Pins!
Then after scraping the saw
dust from his heavy shoes, our
imaginary bowler of 40 years
ago would start aiming at the
cluster of misshapen pins, which
appeared to be first cousins to
giant redWoodS.
Our throwback to the raw, en-
bryonic days of kegling would
then energetically breeze the ball
down a crudely-built lane that
was coarse coated with shellac
and swimming in oil or so dry
and dirty the boards were begin
ming to shred.
If our old-time friend felt-like
painting the air blue with an
oral paint brush, he was free to
do so for there were no women
around to stop him.
And if he had a match game
cooked up it was expected he
would "fix" his home lanes, use
a loaded ball or resort to sundry
other clever methods to down his
opponent - who was sure to get
even on his home planksl
Of course some of the above is
little exaggerated and there are
the usual exceptions, but the pic
ture is fairly good likeness of
kegling as it was known when
it wore knee -britches.

Sandusky Maroons
Tied BY Local IL

In the last game of the cur
rent football season, the Local
IL All-Stars played tie game
with the Sandusky Maroons
last Sunday, at Sandusky High
School. After four clean, but
hard, periods the two fine semi
pro outfits had not crossed their
opponents goal line and the
game went scoreless.
The game, however, was play
ed with the ball in Local 12's
possession in enemy territory
for more than three periods OF
the contest. Paul Varwig, Local
IL halfback, intercepted a Ma
room pass in the second period
and raced 60 yards to the San
dusky twelve yard line. Plunges
by Murray Schafer, Dick Maui
the, and Porky Jennings brought
the pigskin to the two, where
the home team stiffened and
took the ball on downs.
After three tries, the Maroons
were forced to punt out but the
ball was partially blocked by
Sonny Miller, Local II tackle
The Toledoans then took the ball
on the Sandusky eighteen. The
All-Stars worked the ball to the
five yard line but were forced
to give it up on downs.
Sandusky could not ga n
through the Toledo line and was
forced to play an aerial game
where they made several size
able gains, At least four of the
Maroon passes were intercepted
by the Local IL secondary.
Outstanding Local II per-
formers in this game were line
men Sonny Miller, Johnny Riz-
20, Ken Sheppler, Ken Feneske,
Ray Feldt, Bob Grove. Paul
Eye, Harold RAIDER, Morrie Ber-
ry, Joe Cuttaia, Tillis Ewing,
and Ed Estes.
