Good Sport

For 35 years I have par
ticipated in, coached and
watched so many athletic
events that my memory can't
possibly accurately recall the
number. On occasion I have
observed gestures Of fine
craftsmanship that have been
exemplary. but on last Sum
day. as a disinterested specta-
tor, / saw what I believe to
be the outstanding demonstra-
ton I have yet seen. 1t
occurred during the Catholic
Youth Organization junior
football league final cham
pionship game at Griffith
Stadium between teams repre-
senting st. Bernadette and
Our Lady Of Lourdes grade
schools.
The teams were evenly
matched. Neither was gaining
consistently. It was st. Berna-
dette's ball near their own 10
or is yard line. Suddenly a
small back named Steve Mer-
Hat according to the pro-
gram broke loose and was
understanding the Lourdes
team. But, as II coming from
nowhere, a long-legged boy
overlook Steve and downed
him from behind at about the
Lourdes' 5 yard line. 1T
certainly would have been no
reflection on Stoves modesty
If he had been entertaining a
thought Of being the games
hero as his dash rapidly
neared the goal line. II was
a magnificent run. But, then,
he was downed. just several
strides from being the games
hero.
After lying with his face
buried In the mud for several
moments. no doubt trying TO
catch his breath or perhaps
recovering from the shock Of
the unexpected tackle. he arose
and started TO trot slowly to-
ward his teams huddle. En-
route he approached an of

asked a question. In apparent
reponse the ofiicial pointed to
the Lourdes' player who had
tackled him. Little Steve walked

Qualification

In the November 20 issue Of
your paper, a story by Ruth
Dean misquotes me, and I
would be very grateful If you
would set the record straight
by publishing what / actually
said.
I am quoted as saying that
women will not make history
until they are "as effective, as
intelligent and as alert as
men," OF course, women are as
intelligent as men, and always
have been. What I said was
that women must be as "effec-
lively intelligent that means
they must put their intelligence
to as good use. Opportunities
for women to do this are too
often denied them, as / pointed
out, for they are shunted off
into dead-end jobs or FORE
closed from top administrative
ard policS-making positions.
Again it is reported that I
said women abroad "are more
reserved and respected" than
American women. The phrase
was "revered and respected"
and ! suggested that perhaps
this was so. but did not fatty
assert it to be the fact, nor
would I.
Please know that / regret
feeling obliged to bring these
"misquotes" TO your attention,
because I am grateful for the
very fine and full coverage
given my talk and. as we'll, the
entire m Getting. which was
concerned with women's legal
status.

THIS AND THAT

The fresh faces, "windblown

Jones did not wish to seem
nosey, so he did not get too
close, but even then he heard
some of their different sort
Of talking.
He was engaged in another
matter, however, so went on
his way.

It was not until some time
later that he realized that he
had missed a fine opportunity,
in all probability. to hear more
Of this odd but charming way
Of talking.
1t is true that there is q
bit of Pennsylvania Dutch"
in his own veins.
Perhaps that makes the talk
of the plain people" more &C
ceptable to him.
There are scores of exam
pies, but they are all remark
ably hard to remember.
This is because they are
natural only to the people
who talk German and English.

Amish, Mennonites and Dun
kards speak English freely

Templeton Jones (no whis-
kers. please is enthusiastic
about the Pennsylvania Dutch.
He likes their looks, he says,
their high and happy coloring,
their clothes and their way Of
talking.
He still regrets that oppor-
tunity he passed UP at the Zoo
gate to tag along and listen to
them.
Maybe he might have learned
something good for his soul,
we said, since they are all re-
ligious people.

If America is going to pick
