|Dons Confident
Before Tourney
Top-Runked Team
Facing Trouble in
Gurden Festival
BY the Associated Press

The University of San Fran
cisco basketball team. which
docs not expect to lose" won't
have to fiex its muscles until
next week in the Holiday Festival
tournament at Madison Square
Garden.
The Dons have built up a
string of 81 straight victories,
and. with their two games this
week. should be sporting a streak
of 80 in a row when they reach
the Garden week from today.
Coach Phil Woolpert said when
The packed his defending NCAA
champions for a month-long
tour through the East:
I'VE don't expect to lose"
Those are confident words. but
Ito date Woolpert is correct.

schools. the Dons stopped off in
Chicago over the week end and
won the De Paul tournament.
whipping the host outfit, $3.50 in
the final.
Tight Defensive Club
Tomorrow night, they play
Wichita and on Friday they take
Ion Loyola of New Orleans.
Neither should pose a problem
for the Dons. a tight defensive
club in these days Of high scores.
They've permitted an average Of
only 40 points in five games.
But they could have trouble in
the Holiday Festival. They're
paired with La Sale in the
Iopener. which should be easy.
Holy Cross. however, is a big
stumbling block. The Crusaders
looked impressive, indeed. in
whipping New York University.

The top of the weekly Associ-
ated Press poll probably will

for the Dons. North Carolina

Meanwhile. another tourna-

Charlotte. N. C.-the Carrousel
Classic. Eight teams are entered
with the opening pairing sending
Boston University against Ten

'HoIup Heading

Next Month

At his present pace. Joe Holup
of George Washingtons basket
ball team will score the 2.000th
point of his collegiate career
some time in January. possibly
as early as the January Is game
at Virginia Tech.
He probably won't hit it right
on the button in that particular
game. but at his present pace
of averaging 27.2 points a game
lit would take him Is games this
year to make it, and GW's 18th
game is the one at VPI.
36 Points High Mark
Big Joe. the Colonials' 6-foot-6
All-America prospect, started
the season with lists points,
and so far in six winning games
has added 1874 more toward the
1000 goal.
The 36 points against William
and Mary was his largest produc-
ton so far. while the 10 against
West Virginia was the smallest.
Last Saturday. when the Colo
mails routed Virginia Military

with about an average produc-

two-thirds of the game.

Redskins Reward Kuharich
With Three-Year Contract
Marshall Gives
Coach Increase;
3 Aides Retained
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON

Joe Kuharich. broad-shoulder-
ed strategist who led the Red
skins out Of the football Nilder-
ness this year to second place
in the National Football Leagues
Eastern division, today signed
a three-year contract to continue
as head coach Of the team.
The announcement was made
by George Marshall. president
of the Redskins, who only last
week pointed out that the club
had no contract with Kuharich.
At that time, Marshall said
none was necessary. since no
other NIL team could negotiate
for Kuharich's services without
Marshalrs permission. Evid.
IDENTIFY, the Redskins boss had
a change of mind after care
fully weighing all the possibili-
ties.
Retains Three Aides
Kuharich, who piloted the
team to an 8-4 record, will keep
his present staff Of Mike Nixon,
Dick Evans and Joe Tereshinski.
Nixon, backfield coach, and
Evans. who developed one Of the
best defensive lines in the league.
were two of the assistants Ku-
harich refused to fire when he
was head coach Of the Chicago
Cardinals in 1852. The refusal
ultimately led to break be-
tween Kuharich and Walter
Wolfner, executive director Of
the Cardinals.
Financial terms Of the new
salary were not revealed, but
Kuharich is believed to have re-
|ceived a handsome increase.
Marshall Sees Sterilization
Marshall explained that the
contract would stabilize the
Redskins coaching. He said it
would give the coaches and
players some idea of the future
and would aid the coach in
negotiating with players. He
pointed out that all the coaches
iwill live in Washington and work
for the Redskins IL months of
the year.
Kuharich also said it would
enable him to build a team in
stead Of patching one up as he
did this past season. The coach
said in his dealings with other
teams he could now make trades
with an eye to the future in
stead Of insisting on players i'm
mediately available.
/ Kuharich indicated he is
thinking of adding a fourth man
Ito the Redskins staff, which has
been one Of the smallest in the
league.
! A graduate of Notre Dame and
of the Cardinals in pro football,
kuharich assumed charge of the
Redskins Just before the 1854
season began after Curley Lam
beau was discharged by Mar
shall in a stormy scene in a
hotel lobby at Sacramento, Calf.
DisorganiZed and diSpirited, the
team won only three games and
lost nine. finishing next to last.
Distinguished Record
A football fanatic ever since
he was old enough to kick a ball.
1.-THE 38-year-old Kuharich has
had a distinguished record since
leaving Notre Dame. where he
coached the freshmen in 1898.
Moving to Vincentian Institute
at Albany, N. Y, in 1899, Joe
took a team that hadn't won a
game in two years and led it to
seven victories in nine games.
He still considers that probably
MS top coaching feat.
The ninth coach to head the
Redskins since the teams trans
fer from Boston to Washington
in 1887. Kuharich is one Of the
few who have signed contracts
with Marshall. The last was

The Uncertainty of Life

We are so prone to make plans
without giving God a place. We
buy and sell, we marry, we go
and come without giving any
thought to God and His will for
us. We seem to think that we
have full control of life.
NOTHING could take place that
would interfere with our desires.
We ARE going to do this or that.
We ARE going here or there.
We forget that we are finite
beings - having no control over
the matter of life and death. We
forget that we are subject to
disease and death. Our life is
like a vapour (verse 14), brief
and uncertain.
We should learn to say, as we
make our plans, IF the Lord
will, we shall live, and do this
or that (Verse 15).
Boosting of what we are going
to do without regard to Gods
will is conceit and is the result
of pride. God cannot condone
such an attitude proverbs GIG.
I'D. 1t is evil in Gods sight
(James 4:l6).
Let us be ever mindful of the
brevity of life and how sickness
or an accident can change our
plans completely. BY the grace
OF God we will live another day
and transact business or 60 on
that trip.
Realizing that life is SO I'M
certain, we should try and make
our life count for the most and
the best. Too much of cur time
and effort is expended on that
which is temporary and useless.
1t is so easy to be taken up with
such things. We may live another
twenty or thirty years, but it is
Just as likely that we will live
Tor only one more day or Just
ten more minutes. May those
minutes or days or years be
used to the greatest advantage.
AS creatures of the Almighty,
All-wlse God, 1t is only reason
able that we permit our lives to
be lived according to His will

After an eight-day Christmas
vacation with my family in the
northern part of the state, | be-
lieve / am now ready to dig in
on some of the activities for the
New Year. | always anticipate
Christmas SO very much with the
family visiting back and forth,
the friends, good food, inspira-
tional church services, time to
play new games with the chill
dren. And now that part of it
is over, | am glad to settle down
on routine once again and anti
cipate all that needs to be done
in this New Year of 1855.
AS ! look to this New Year,
] think of the words of st. Paul
This one thing | do, for
getting what lies behind and
straining forward to what lies
ahead, / press on :" To me,
this means that we are to forget
those things which we can do
nothing about and make the
most of those things in our past
which we can do something
about, and then look forward to
the many new and enriching ex-
perienceS we can have in the
New Year. All of us will have
our share of joy and sadness, but
we can face these things when
we walk with the man who stood
at the gate of the year and said:
Give me a light that l may
tread safely into the unknown
And he replied: Go out into
the darkness and put thine hand
into the hand of God.
That shall be to thee better
than a light
And better than an unknown
way
This Monday evening at the
Caldwell Methodist church there
will be our first sub-district
council meeting for the New
Year. Plans will be made for the
rest of the school year. Each
local MYF president is request
ed to be there; also, the sub-dis-
trict officers. This meeting is
scheduled for ZOO.
The last Sunday of January is
designated as denominational
Youth Sunday. 1t would be well
If each minister would partially
or completely give this pulpit
over to the youth on this Sun
day Each Methodist minister
has received a worship service
from the Akron office for this
youth participation, Sunday.
There should be some sort of
youth observance on January 30.
Our many thanks to the Dex-
ter City youth and church for
beng such a good host to us
after our Carol-mobile. We were
greasly disappointed with the
lack of response from the various
churches; mostly from those
whom we thought would be par
ficipasing, but who for some
season didn't get there. | am still
hoarse from this caroling which
we did all through the seven
towns in the county and all
pretty much on schedule.

Bible Questions
And Answers
ALBERT F. RANDOLPH

question. Does the Bible say
anything about our influence?
Answer: Yes it does. In Rom.
14:7 we read, For none Of us
hveth to himself, and no man
dieth to himself" The acts of our
lives, as well as the things we
say reach much farther than
most of us may think. Many
times We do not stop to think
just what may be the out reach
Of our individual lives. What we
do often has definite call to
some other individual. Because
of our position in society, others
often look to us, and direct their
lives in much the same channel
we have gone. We have a great
responsibility here.
Parents have much to do with
the moulding of the lives of
their childl en-. Children think,
and should rightly do so, that
their parents are the best people
In the world and what they do
IS the thing for them to do. I'm
consciously parents thus mould
the lives of their children, and
when it is too late they may try
to change them and find that
they are so established that it is
a very difficult undertaking.
Parents who smoke or drink or
swear, and do other wrong
things, are unconsciously teach
ing their children to do the same
things. Such parents should
never punish their children for
things they have taught them
to do. These wrong habits and
practices should be laid aside,
and then the child can be taught
something so much better.
Such is the place of an indivi-
dual in the community. Other
peoples children and many
others often practice what they
have seen others do For instance
II a minister attends the picture
show, or puts a television in his
home, you will always hear some
one say, "Well the preacher did
1t, and so it surely won't hurt
US. Thus an individual who may
have a reputable standing in
the community, will be planting
IN some other life the very thing
that may be their downfall.
On the other hand those who
live upright lives and practice
the clean, good, way of life will
also have influence on the lives
of those about them. Many will
hesitate to become a part of the
questionable things about them
because some outstanding citiz-
ems has taken a definite stand
We need walk clean, upright, in
the open, and let our influence
stand for the very best things
possible. We will be moulding a
life, and unconsciously will be
helping some one to the better
things of this life and directing
them to the path that leads TO
Heaven and Heavens glory.
The Lord bless you.
