Salary-wise, Erdelatz was

Sauer Also Frustrated
Erdelatz is not the first to
become frustrated over the sit
uation peculiar to a service
school. His predecessor, George
Sauer, left after two years.
Sauer. now athletic director at
Baylor, left behind q dismal
1882 record. He was. in effect,
fired, but 1t was q dismissal
that brought with 1t release Of
inner tensions.

Sugar Bowl and over Rice in
the 1858 Cotton Bowl. Also in
cluded is a 5-3-1 record against
arch-rival Army.
Nays opponents next fall
include three big schools which
also will have new coaches.
Army's Red Blaik resigned
after Is years and was sue
ceded by Dale Hall, a former
assistant. Terry Brennan was
dismissed by Notre Dame and
replaced by Joe Kuharich. a
former Redskins coach. Tommy
Mont was fired by Maryland
and replaced by Tom Nugent,
ex-Florida State coach.
Planned New Offense
What made the action sur
prising was that it came on
the heels Of a press conference
Erdelatz held to tell about his
plans for next fall. These in
cluded a new type Of offense
in which % of the best players
were to be dispersed through
two units. each unit as strong
as the other. The coach APP
peared quite enthusiastic about
next season, and no clues were
dropped concerning the real
situation.
Erdelatz' only son, Eddie, jr..
will conclude his studies at st.

in June and probably will at

The Erdelatz home, a mod

a favorite sport of Erdelatz

Why nobody cheered when

and commonplace it wouldn't be easy to
produce"
These, however, were but spiteful express
sions of the same kind of angry PARTISAN
ship which marked so much of the sniping
at Lincoln while he lived and with which
even the latest of his successors is by no
means unfamiliar.
But here am concerned only with the
immediate effect upon the $1,000 who we're
actually present at Gettysburg. From the
unconscious or reluctant testimony of many
witnesses, one thing is clear. Few of them
suspected for a moment that the world
would long remember what was said there.
Indeed, that is the basis of celebrated and
exceedingly sentimental short story called
''The Perfect Tribute" in which Lincoln is
presented as having left Gettysburg mel
ancholy in the conviction that he had
''failed."
The story could have been written only
by someone who knew little about Lincoln
and less about public speaking. But it is
true that the first audience, however much
ex post factO perceptiveness its members
may later have laid claim to, we're at the
time quite unimpressed. Historians, with
that wisdom-after-the-event which lends to
posterity its SNUG air of superiority, have
been amused to wonder why. know why.
l think it can be proved beyond all doubt
that of the $1,000 only an inconsiderable
few heard what Lincoln said.
tits easy to see why this must have
been SO. Even the most inexperienced play
wright is careful to postpone past the first
ten minutes any crucial line of his dialogue,
not only because stragglers will still be rat
tling down the aisles but because there is
such thing as an arc of attention and, in
the relation between the voices on the stage
and the ears beyond the footlights, it takes
bit of time to establish that arcs trajectory.

been at Gettysburg when Lincoln spoke, the
chances are overwhelming that | would not
have heard what he said.
In our own day, it has been an ironic
commonplace that that history-making
speech made no impression at all on most of
the reporters who filed it with the harried
telegraph operators at Gettysburg. Nor
indeed on most of the editors who, in COM
posing their papers next day, merely gave
their readers the impression that Mr.. Lin
coin ''also spoke"
10 be sure, 1.-THE New York
Times" observed the occasion by printing
an editorial headed 1.-TWO Great Speeches."
but ''The Times" was referring to the stupe-
flying two-hour oration with which Edward
Everett had preceded MIR. Lncoln's address
and to the stirring speech which Henry
Ward Beecher had just made at the Acad-
emy of Music in Brooklyn.
1t might be enjoyable and not unpro6t-
able to glance here in passing at the more
preposterous comments made by those
already hostile to the speaker. In the near
by town of Harrisburg "The Patriot and
Union" said, 1--WE pass over the silly
remarks of the President; for the credit of
the nation we are willing that the veil of
oblivion shall be dropped over them and
that they shall no more be repeated or
thought off,
''The Chicago Times had this to say:
''The cheek of every American must tingle
with shame as he reads theIsilly, fat and
dish.watery utterances of the man who has
to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as
the President of the United States" One
of those whose job it was to enlighten such
foreigners, the American correspondent of
''The London Tines kept them posted as
follows: ''The ceremony was rendered ludi-
crous by some of the sallies of that poor

Who Gets What and How Much?

"With what group do you associate
the following word: Subsidies?"
Editor Hanson answers his own
question with one word: Farmers. 81
would be surprised if this answer
weren't given by 9 out of. 10 urban
Americans today" he comments.
"Anyone who can read or hear must
certainly get this impression. There is
no secret about the fact that some
farmers receive subsidies, and have
for some time. There is no secret
about the amount of money involved
in our agricultural subsidy program.
There is no secret about how this
money is divided among various seq
ments of agriculture.
"And, there is no secret about the
fact that much of the money spent
under the agricultural program is of
direct benefit to every man, woman
and child in this country.
