FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. Z. EDGAR

Tense: Whenever multi
millionaire philanthropist
Andrew Carnegie had guests
at his castle in Scotland, he
would invite them to a game
Of golf on his private course.
Carnegie, who considered
himself a master at the game,
played with little skill and
took defeat hard. Visitors
who were seeking money
from him, always made 1t a
point to lose.
One day, he was playing
against an educator who was
hoping to get a 81 million
grant for his schol. The edu-
Gator, an expert golfer,
found it difficult to play as
poorly as his host. BY exert
ing effort, however, he man
aged to keep the score all
even at the end Of the eighth
hole.
Carnegie started the ninth
and deciding hole by driving
his ball into a sand trap.
The educator sent his ball
into the woods. Carnegie
then hit the ball into the
lake. The other met this
challenge by driving 100
yards beyond the green. Car
negie came to the green in
10 strokes and was out in IA,
while his opponent was 5 feet
from the cup in II strokes.
In a sweat, the educator
wiped his moist hands on his
shirt. Taking careful aim.
he overshot the cup three
times. Then, with a sigh Of
relief, he easily sank the
fourth putt, losing the match
by one stroke. Carnegie, the
magnanimous winner, offered
a few words of advice.
you play a good game"
he said, "but you're too tense.
You should learn to relax"

Crime is steadily increasing
in the United States. Justice
Department statistics show a
mounting incidence Of serious
offenses - m urder, rape,
armed robbery, aggravated
assault. and embezzlement.
There has been an increase Of
10 per cent in the last year
alone.
In New York City recently.
both Gov. Rockefeller and
New York's Mayor Wagner
found it necessary to call
emergency meetings Of pub
lice officials, churchmen, and
civic leaders to consider
measures for dealing with the
appalling wave of murders
many committed by ju-
veniles) that has swept the
Mortified city. Los Angeles,
Chicago and other large cities
have similar problems.
AS might be expected, there
is a good deal Of debate on
causes and possible remedies.
Arguments range from con-
domination of softness and
advocacy Of a return to old
fashioned toughness in deal
ing with criminals to allega-
tons that the neurotic char
acter of our times causes
crime and that we should have
a much more psychology
rooted approach to the sub
ject of punishment and re-
Mobilization. There is no
dearth Of theory or ideas on
the subject, but open-minded
observers find it hard to dis
cover much in the way of
practical proposals in the
theorizing.
Into the rambling debate,
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
injected a pragmatic piece of
advice; namely, that we need
more law enforcement off,
GERS. He has made this point
before, along with its corol-
larry - that police officers
should be efficient and well

One night later this summer a boy
named Gene Gryder will walk
quietly into the Randolph-H e nry
High School locker room and hang
up his uniform for the last time
The "Gryder era" at Charlotte
Court House will be over. but it
won't be forgotten for a long time.
Gene Gryder broke into District
Ill athletic competition away back
in the summer Of 1855, at the COM
pletion of his prefreshman year
in high school, hitting over $50 on
the Statesmens' summer league
baseball team.
Genes father didn't want his son
to play football that fall of 1855,
but today's most ardent R-H sports
fan the same Mr. Gryderl still
has pleasant memories of Gene
stepping in to replace the injured
first string quarterback in the sec
ond game of the season and inn
mediately completing six straight
passes against a rugged Appomat-
tox eleven. Gene played at quarter
back the remainder of the season
and the following season directed
the clubs attack to the District
championship.
Nickname Created
One day during Gryder's fresh
man year. Tammy Farnsworth, the
coach perhaps most responsible for
developing Genes talent, noticed
the young fellow watching an in,
tramural basketball game. Gene
never moved his head. but shifted
only his eyes back and forth tc
watch the action. Farnsworth re
marked that Gryder had "snake
eyes. The name stuck. It's beer

Gryder was starter on t h {

All-state College
Track Laurels
Won By H-SCStars

Hampden-Sydney's two crack per-
formers. dash man Bill Benson and
hurdler Walt Chapman, have been
named to the all-Virginia college
track team for the 1859 season.
Benson's selection for both the
100 and 220-yard dashes gave Hamp-
den-S dney three spots on the
honorary squad selected by the
coaches Of the Big Six and Little
Eight schools.
Homer Bast, former track coach
at Roanoke College. conducted the
voting for the Roanoke World News
newspaper.
Virginia and VMI dominated the
selections, the Cavaliers winning 10
spots on the squad, the Keydets
eight. Three performers were pick
ed for each of IA individual track
and field events.
BensOn's Times
With Benson in both the dashes
were Virginia S fine freshman, Tony
Sepp, and VMI's Art Brandriff
Sepp's 9.5 for the 100 and 2l.l for
the 220-yard dash were the best
performances in these events Of
the season.
Benson set new H-SC marks in
both events the past season, turn
ing in 9.6 in the 100 and 81 S
in the 22O.
Chapman, like Benson a junior at
Hampden-Sydney and returning for
another year at Death Valley. was
selected for the high hurdles, along
with Roanokes Dick Emberger and
VPI's Ramon johnson.
Chapman's Marks
Chapman also set new Hampden-
Sydney standards in the l20-yard
high and 220-yard low hurdles the
past season. His lab seconds for the
highs was new Mason-D n
meet. as well as new H-SC mark
His fastest in the lows, PA sec
onds, also was run this season.
Emberger, however, posted t h e
seasons best mark in the highs
with a 14.7 seconds run. Warren
Joblin, Of William and Mary, ran
the states fastest highs with a 1871
seconds effort.
