Inside Pro Football

Although it was published about a year ago, "The
Pros is a book that professional football fans still
will enjoy from cover to cover. Probably the only
disappointing thing about the book is that it ends too
soon.
%coLORFUL, F~AST-READING TEXT and more
than $50 photographs, drawings and diagrams are
woven into this big 9xl2 volume to describe the whole
fascinating story of professional football. The book tells
Of pro footballs birth, its growth, the way it is played
and its future.
Published by Simon and Schuster Inc. of New
York City, the book originally retailed for $40. Bar
galn-hunters can obtain it now for substantially less
than that.
The book is written by Tex Maule, who is
associate editor of Sports Illustrated. Writing in
graphic gripping fashion, he succeeds in stirring up
deep-roOted moods with his commentary. Photos and
sketches are by Robert Riger, who has been photo
graphing the pros for some 20 years.
WRITER MAULE EVoKES NOSTALGIA as he
writes of the incompatible Jim Thorpe, Red Grange,
Bert Bel, the old Green Bay packers and of how the
National Football League was born in Canton, Ohio "on
a hot summer night in September, 1920"
His description of how the league barely survived
and then muShroomed into its giant size of today
creates a mood of excitement.
In describing '"The Great Decade of l950-60,
Maule points out "the pro game was attuned to the
temper of the times. Baseball was too slow and too
quiet; it was the game of an earlier American, not of
the jet age. College football" he added turned to the
SplitT, surely one of the dullest attacks to watch in
the whole history of football"
WRITING ABOUT H PRO GAME ITSELF,
Maule paints a picture of grimness, determination
and powerful conflict; the reader becomes aware that
pro football is a war of muscle, brains and talent. In
reading all this, the fan appreciates the safety of the
stadium or his easy chair.
AT the same time, however, the pro football fan
Sayors the game all the more because he becomes
more aware that pro football is truly Almost exciting
contest played at IFS best.
Looking To the future. Maule states "the decade
TO come should see pro football take its place as
Americas true national sport" This observation, plus
his views OF baseball and college football as described
above, are topics that many will debate.

Fritz Lawaetz. In this case,
your editorial was not days late
it was months late.
In another portion of your
newspaper, you complained about
a Press Conference which / held

were invited. You were not even
present at this Press Conference,
so ! would suggest that you check
with the responsible members of
st. Croix Press Corp who were
present. The Editor of the st.
Croix Avis and others will be glad
to tell you that the Press Confer
ence was called to bring the peo-
pie of st. Croix up to date on the
various projects concerning this
island. Let me assure you of one
thing, that as long as ] am around,
I will make every effort toleep
the people Of this island inform
ed.
Further on, under the heading
@Crucian Periscope', you seem to
be complaining that my name is
constantly in the news. / do not
understand what you are DOM
planning about, since no one is
more responsible for keeping my
name in the news than you. A
check of the records will show
that, since your newspaper began,
there has not been a single issue
which has not devoted itself pri-
marty to Ron de Lugo.
May / assure you that your
continued preoccupation with Ron

Dear Roy:

decried in your editorial, the con.
dition of the Race Track at Man.
nings Bay, st. Croix, complaining
about the beer cans and debris
that were left from Fourth Of
July Races and asking that the
Administration do something
about getting it cleaned up
This is to advise you that, upon
my Instructions, the Race Track
was cleaned up the Monday be-
for your newspaper came Out
with its editorial.
Your editorial of Wednesday
July rs, was again behind the
times. Since you directed an in
quiry to me in your editorial,
am taking opportunity to bring
you UP to date. You stated These
fellows usually become scarce
when government employees are
being taking advantage of. Very
often we find cases where an en-
poyee is holding a position tenn
porarily'. This employee might be
performing to the full and com
plete satisfaction of his immed-
late superior. He then applies to
the Division of Personnel to take
a test SO that he can become eli
gible for a permanent appoint
ment. But Personnel finds he lis
not qualified to take the test. So
the employee continues to do the
job but gets paid for a lower class
sification.. These are inequities that
should not be permitted to exist
in the government service. We be-
lieve that the Administrative As
sistant should look into such mat
tiers. How about it sir?"
Well, Mr.. Editor, may / bring
your attention to the fact that dur
ing the last regular session of the
Virgin Islands legislature, Bill No.

Apartment is the A1rlkdanS
word for racial segregation.
Pronounced apart-hate, the last
syllable is significant. Because
hate is the fuel for the fire that
blazes under the seething pot
which is South Africa today.
Hate is usually a by-product
of the frenzied effort to keep
people apart. This is an old,
painfully tragic story.
The differences among men
do not invariably make them
abhor one another. Merchants
and ministers differ from one
another, so do babies and grand
parents-to say nothing of col
lege men and co-eds. These diff
ferences do not normally keep
these individuals apart, hating
each other.
But one difference between
humans has done this for mil
lenia. It is the absurdly super
fetal difference of skin color
This is one of the fateful facts
of current history.
It is a fact of utmost impor-
lance to Americans precisely
because most of us are members
of the so-called white race.
So called because we are, OF
course, not really white" A
perceptive Negro once proved
this by holding up his calling
card next to the face of eau
casian, to prove to bystanderS
that the white man was ac-
tually ga kind of dirty pink"
Of you think you are white, try
this in the mirror some time.)
AS one high school student OBJ
served, next only to albinos
blends are the most colored Of
all people. Elementary physics
had taught this teen-aged chile
that black is the absence of al
color, white the combination o.
all color.
Ultimately, our fate, the safe
ty and survival of the so-callec
white race, may depend on the
good will Of the black, brown
and yellow-skinned folk. Be-
cause, together, they (and no
