MAKE FOOTBALL IN KEY
WEST A SUCCESS

The views of this bench toward
the sport of football is highly en-
dorsed to bring the parents of
school, some facts as to the
knowledge that is in the game,
I will try to point these out First
of all, it is a challenge to the
youth who is interested.
remember the first time I went
out for the sport, being large
helped in some matters, but there
were some of the boys that were
a lot smaller who made the team
also.
To, a boy that is undersized,
it's a natural handicap, but you
will find that they can use their
poundage to a better advantage,
than a person who is larger.
The idea Of this story to get it
over to the parents that football
is just as safe and clean as any
one of our modern day American
sports.
Many parents are dead-set
against their sons playing t b i S
sport of football. This is bad in
certain respects because it tends
to tie the boy more to them, than
to put him on his own.
The parents will say-he will
get hurt. The answer that / have
for them is very simple.
When the boys report for
training and if he gets into the
proper physical condition, his
chances of getting hurt are 1000
to l. Of the z years that I played
football, including high school,
college and in service, was only
hurt once and that came in a SER
vice game.
Injuries in football today are
at a minimum because of the
modern protective equipment that
is now being used.
l would also like to relate to
an article which appeared in the
September 25th issue of Look
magazine. An article written by
DR.. Marvin A. Stevens, promi-
nent orthopedic surgeon, on "Will
High School Football Hurt Your
Boy"
This is an article highly rec
commended to the parents of this
community for it will tell you in
plain words the facts on this
sport.
One important paragraph which
struck me was Football can do
a lot for your boy"
1t can help develop his char
acter as well as his body and can
contribute to making him the cit
izen and man you want him to
be.

|deo|oqies And Striking Clocks

WneTnef LnoTe is a cease III OrQoT TO temporarily
stop the Korean War, there are some things that those
who guide the destinies of the peoples Of the world
should not forget. The first among these is that the only
way Russian Communism can be destroyed is through
war. Likewise, the capitalist system in all likelihood will
not be destroyed except through armed conflict Those
who guide the two great forces of Democracy and Com
munism should remember that a world conflict between
the two ideologies can be averted only through great COM
promises. The Russian government has no moral right to
force upon democratic countries their way of life. De-
mocracies, on the other hand, have no moral right to force
upon the Russian people our way of life. 1t must be ad-
mitted that many base things still exist in our democracy.
This is also true of the Russian, or Communistic, theory
of life. We have never given up hope that the two sys-
TENS can exist peacefully in the same world. Peace in the
Korean situation, therefore, may be the first step toward
the accomplishment of a world without human slaughter.
All peoples should have a free right to think and speak
for the kind of government they feel would bring the most
happiness to the most people. There will never be a time
when all people will think alike. The Communist govern
ments of the world will eventually realize this. In the
fifteenth century one of the kings in the German States
attempted to impose his every will upon his every sub
ject. He resorted to persecution, and even this failed. He
finally decided that it is impossibleto control human think
ing and he retired to a monastery to spend the balance Of
his life. In his secluded sanctuary, he developed a hobby
for clocks. He had hundreds of them-made in all parts of
the world. He tinkered with them for more than ten years
with one idea, to have them all strike at the same time.
He never quite succeeded in doing this because the split
second of striking time was always off in some of the
clocks. He finally concluded that it was foolish of him to
try to regulate the minds of people when he could not
even regulate the simultaneous striking of his many
clocks. Communism and democracy will hardly ever be
able to completely exterminate each other. Compromise,
therefore, seems to be the only way out and those who re-
present both ideologies must understand this before there
can be real peace on earth. Striking clocks and ideologies
are quit the same They are always a little off.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA (INS)- Let this department
be the last to defend boxing, Major League baseball or

ask if our Congress in Washington in times like these has
nothing better to do than investigate sports.
, 1951-08-14

college football. But also lie
ask if our Congress in WASH
better to do than in
You know by now that the in
vestigation of Major League base
ball has been turned into a farce
by Mamie Cellar of Brooklyn,
chairman Of the House subcom-
mittee charged with determining
whether baseball is a monopoly
in violation of antitrust laws.
You know that some Senators and
Representatives captured headlines
by demanding abolition of foot
ball at the Service schools, only to
be topped by other Congressman
demanding that the Military acad-
envy and the Naval Academy be
disbanded. Now the Senators are
going to investigate boxing.
THIS DEPARTMENT is heartily
in accord with all such investiga-
tons if they are intelligently con-
Quoted. But what Washington
seems to b doing now is playing a
lot of games with itself without
hope of arriving at any conclus-
ions. The trouble is that the people
who are conducting the investiga-
tons haven't the faintest idea of
what they are looking for, how to
find it, or how the sports under
investigation are actuallyconstitut-
ed. There are so-called evils in
college football, and in the way
the sport is conducted at the
Service academies; evils, too, in
Major League baseball's outmoded
operations and certainly in box
ing. But how, in the name Of
heaven, "a people who know alb
solutely nothing about these things
conduct an investigation that will
be anything less than a headline
grabbing spree to no purpose?
WE HAVE SEEN A sample of
what the investigation of baseball
is like. They have had a couple of
weeks of hearings and have issued
some of the strangest observations
imaginable. The same is true of
reaction tothe West Point cribbing
scandal and surely will be true
of any boxing probe. These in
vestigations can't be taken serious
ly unless it is known that the
Congressman are men who know
what they are about. This is no
plea for cancelling Investigations,
but a plea for making
them thorough, under the guidance
Of people who have an acquain-
lance ofthe subject under scrutiny.
An investigation merely for the
sake of Investigating something is
a waste of time on the part OF
our supposed leaders, who would
be better occupied in these times
Investigating far more important
things.
