The hottest day for football
in my memory dawned in Mem
phis, Tenn. where the Giants
engaged the Bears in an ex-
hibition game in August, 1851.
The thermometer hovered near
the 97-degree mark in the
stands and probably registered
is degrees warmer on the play
ing field, which was completely
enclosed and therefore devoid
Of the slightest hint of a breeze.
The humidity was suffocatingly
high; and the fact that the
team had previously been sta
toned for training in the cold
cline of Upstate New York pro-
vided a shocking contrast.
After one series of downs
the players were wringing wet.
After several, many found it
difficult to breathe and stag
gered to the sidelines, summon
ing requirements. Spectators
were falling out like flies, and
players were being treated for
heat exhaustion en- masse. The
defense worked like fiends at
tempting to turn the ball over
to the offense. thereby gaining
a respite on the bench. Charlie,
a wiry specimen, lost only seven
pounds during the encounter,
but some Of his meatier team
mates shed as many as 18.
Later that same year the
Giants played a game that
rivaled the antics of the bygone
Keystone Cops for low comedy
The scene: Yankee Stadium
The rivals: the Giants and the
defunct N. Y. Football Yankees
The time: mid-December. The
weather: Is degrees. A week. OF
rain had preceded the contest
during which time the field was
dutifully covered with d pro-
tective tarpaulin. wever

dicted for Saturday night, the

making removal impossible The
next day. Both events occurred
on schedule. As a result the
field was covered with a sheet
Of ice half an inch thick in
spots. s..
Standing Is Feat
Players on both teams wore
the conventional basketball
shoes designed to aid footing
on such occasions. Ice skates
would have been more practical.
Standing. itself, was a feat of
no mean accomplishment. Run
ing was practically impossible.
The stands howled as player
after player took spectacular
prat falls.
Somehow the Giants attained
a substantial lead, but finally
the Yanks got break. After
catching a short pass, their star
end headed for the goal line
so yards away-in a dead walk.
AS each Giant tackler lunged
toward him, he simply stood
still for a moment and calmly
watched his adversary slide
helplessly by. At last he was
all alone-within Is yards Of
pay-dirt. The excitement Of
near success evidently affected
his balance, for suddenly his
feet few out from under him.
BY this time the defenders
far downfield had risen and
were carefully walking toward
him. Had the runner" con-
tinued his strategy of slow.
deliberate movement, he might
have made it. Instead, his
aplomb gone, he threshed about
furiously in a desperate effort
to stand up.
Closer and closer skated the
defenders in slow motion.
Harder and harder the ball
carrier struggled. could al

BY PERIAN CONERLY
North American Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The

athletes from the dogged coin

uled games.
The football season Is

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Nov. IL
(AP). - Bruce Usher's three
conversions were the differ
ence here today as Davidson
Colleges football team edged
Lehigh University, 21-18.
The tempo of the closely
waged contest was evidenced
by the statistics which showed
Lehigh gaining 271-yards on
the ground to 200 for Davidson.
The two teams threw only
seven passes, Lehigh gaining 3
yards and Davidson 90.
Lehigh scored first and last
but in between Davidson won
the game. It was the fifth loss
in eight games for Lehigh and
Davidson's third victory against
four defeats.

To Lose Race
By Percy villa


Now that just about all the voted
are counted and a new President
elect John Kennedy we take az
count as to what really happened
to the Republican Party. Maybe
a little inventory for future cleo
tons.
1. The Republican party did
nothing about the cost Of living
the past years.
2. Eisenhower and Nixon's state
!ments that, I'VE never had it SO
good. What about the millions
that are unemployed, the high cost
of living, the suffering of the little
businessman, high interest rates
and peace at any price?
8. 1t was wrong for Nixon to
appear in four debates with the
handsome and colorful Kennedy,
then turn down Kennedy's offer
for a fifth debate.
4. The people resented Ike try
ing to push Nixon over on a last
minute drive.
8. ne's weak Civil-Rights stand
and Nixon's backing the President
on this issue.
6. Nixon's silence the other week
and John Kennedy's interest in
helping DR.. Martin Luther King.
That cost Nixon the Negro vote,
which was divided until then.
