Never mind about the trick play
now, just beat the Bears.
Sunday we got the Babe in
. the dressing room, drew the play
on the blackboard for him, but
he still was talking about Vic
toria. Sure, he got it, he told us.
1t would be a nice one to run for
sVictoria.
"As luck would have it, we won
the toss, but instead of getting a
kick we can run out to the 30 or
40 yard line, it goes into the end
zone and we have to start on our
own 20. But Paul Christman
calls the play, anyway, and away
Dimancheff goes. Christman
tosses him 3O-yard pass over on
the sideline, and Diinancheff cuts
inside the halfback and runs so
more yards for 6 points. Never
tried it or even saw the play be-
fore and he goes all the way.
1--WE we're talking about it
couple of weeks later when Babe
came into the dressing room. I
said, well, Babe, you gave Victoria
a good one to remember against
the Bears.
Victorian he says. We
named the baby Judith Anne.
Some of Hilda's folks didn't like
Victoria" 20

EN- ROUTE TO BIRMING-
HAM, Sept. 8.-We were chin
ming with the Washington Red
skin and Chicago Cardinal
coaches when silver haired
Jimmy Councilman, chief of the
Chicagoans' staff, came up with
one of his good yarns.
Did I ever tell you the story
OF Babe Dimancheff's touchdown
run when we beat the Bears, 30
to 81, last December?" he asked.
I've never spent such a week
with a football player in all my
life.
I'VE thought it all out and
decided that if we puG a fast
halfback against them he might
get past their line, grab a pass
and break loose for touchdown.
Dimanchetf was the back we
picked.
1T had to be done very cozily
or George Halas would smell
something cooking and change
his defense, so we figured it
would have to come on the first
play after the kickoff. That
meant we had to be lucky and,
win the toss and receive the ball,
but We put the play on the
blackboard anyway, whether we
used it or not.
That was Monday. Tuesday
we thought we'd explain it to
Babe and let him run it once in
practice, but he didn't show up.
He's nice boy and never cut
practice before, so I was kind of
worried. Tuesday morning 1 got
telephone call from him-at
the hospital. His wife's having a
baby.
That was swell-it was a re-

The Reufher Attack

News of the attack on the life of walter
p. Reuther not only is shock to the mem
hers of his own union, but to millions oil
Americans who in many instances, do not
see eye-to-eye with the militant leader oil
the Auto Workers.
Despite the fact that speculation is
rampant over who would attempt to COM
ma such desperate act it appears that
MIR. Reuther himself limited ii TO manage
ment, the CP or some sCrewball."
II is our belief and hope that the guilty
person or persons will be found and
brought To Justice under the law, posi-
bility which would appear to be bright
in the face of the rewards which have been
offered by the United Auto Workers ex-
ecutive board and the City of Detroit
In the meantime, while the manhunt is
going on, we will temporarily suspend
judgement but not speculation about the
motives of person or group who obVi-
ousIy have strong desire TO rid themselves
of Mr.. Reuther.
We believe that we echo the sentiments
of the UAW-CIO and all decent minded
people i'm expressing our gratitude that the
life Of Mr.. Reuther has been spared and the
hope he will live many more years to con-
tinue his leadership in cause which has
been a crusade for justice for the rank and
file workers i'm the autOmOtive plants OF
America.

a special invitation to all concerned to see for

For while it looked as though dialectical
materasm had become the great weapon to
beat the horse races. AS soon as the New

placed large ads IN PM announcing that Our

during the recent Haleah season!" We were
sold . until the next day when Associated
Press reported from sydney Australia, that a
Communist-owned sporting weekly had favored
a nag named "Coumnist to win an important
race. The Communist sheet was embarrassed
no end when a rank outsider won by four
lengths The horror of it all was that the win
ner, completely ignored by the Communist
