Out of The East There Shone A Guiding Star :.
 By OLAF HALvERSON

At the Christmas season of the year, when the nights are the longest and the sky most beau tiful, each star is a candle light for the birthday of the King of Kings"
 Since that night of long ago, when the "Star of Bethlehem" shone over the manager when the Christ Child was born, the mes sage of Peace on earth, good will to men" has spread over the earth.
 The shepherds on the Judea hillside knew their sheep by name, and they guarded their flocks by day and night. During the long night watches, they became inter ested observers of the stars and planets. When we look at the planet Venus, in the southeastern sky, we have the opportunity of seeing a planet that was known to the shepherds.
 The bright rays of Venus will continue during the Christmas season, after which the planet will recede toward the sun.

would be interested in joining the club. 1t seems a Colt
fan had recommended Johnny and the Baltimore team
needed someone to back first stringer George Shaw.
Unitas got his first big chance in the fourth game
against the Bears after Shaw injured his knee. John
nyts first pass was intercepted and run back for a
touchdown. Then he fumbIed. The Colts were blasted
5s-27. Things looked anything but bright.
However, Johnny came back and began TO show
them. He finished the season with 10 pass competitions
in 1913 attempts for l,4o8 yards and nine toUchdowns.
His $50 completion percentage ranked him sixth
in the NIL, highest mark ever set by a rookie. That
mark was better than those of Otto Graham, Sammy
Baugh, Sid Luckman and Bob Waterfield, And that's
pretty fast company.
Since then, the name Johnny Unitas has become
welIknown to football fans across the nation.
Last year, Unifas led the Colts TO the world
championship in an Unprecedented Sudden death"
game with the New York Giants. In the fabulous game
of games" Unitas completed rs of 40 passes for 34o
yards. In the overtime period, he handed the ball
off to Alan THE Horse" Ameehe who boIted over from
the one yard line for the winning points.
Unitas had come a long way from PittSburghs
st. Justin High School where he also had an impress
sive record. His record wasn't impressive enough how
ever, for Notre Dame or Indiana so he finally landed
at the University of Louisville.
At Louisville, he set Is school records although
the teams he played on won only IL games while losing
%. Thus, you might forgive the Steeler officials for
not being too hep on Johnny since that Wonloss
record was anything but good.

Unitas BattIed Odds
To Reach Top

Self-confidence, determination and poise. These
are the words which describe Johnny unltas, ace
quarterback for the Baltimore Colts and one of the
most valuable players in professional ranks. Another
word that would be appropriate to tag onto Unitas is
talented"
Before going any further, it would be appropriate
TO dedicate this piece TO the countless numbers of
youthful athletes who oftenfimes feel they aren't being
given . fair chance TO display their abilities. They can
draw . lesson from this great professional football
star.
Back in 1855, Unitas was dropped by the Pitts
burgh SteelerS without being given a chance to play in
one regular season game. In fact, he never got into
an exhibition contest. Johnny, who was married, the
father of one child and his wife expecting another,
landed a job working on oil rigs six days a week.
His chances Of getting into the "big time we're,
using Dizzy Deans descriptive phrase, "sim to none"
