At the International Youth

Life in Warsaw was much
gayer than anything I saw in
the Soviet Union. The stu

lead a wild life. The crowded,

The students at Club Hi

which reminded me of Ameri-

much cheek cheek dancing

been killed in the war, and
they told me that every fam

6 million people had been

One Of our guides in Po-

called Kajtec - Polish for
"Shortie" told us that in
the 1856 uprising, the Rus

the Nationalist, headed by
Gomulka, were allowed to
take over. The Nationalist
are Socialists, but they con-
trive to be fairly independent
of Russia. They instituted
many reforms, which have
given the people more free

months later, she met the
other Marlene Schmidt.
What's it like to meet a
person with your name?
II can hardly believe it,"
says Marlene. "She seemed
just as surprised as I was.
I'm so excited, I don't know
how I feel. I think she's
beautiful. She's my idol"
Marlene found out there
are several differences, of
course. Miss Universe is "a
years old, a graduate re-
search engineer and a refu-
gee from East Germany.
Marlene is a typical Ameri-
can teen-ager and a senior
at Yorktown High.

they met. And they pro-

incompatible Miss Universe
Meets Her Teen-Age Match

How many John F. Ken
nedyS have wished they
could meet the President
whose name they share?
Or the Elizabeth TaylorS
land the Ricky Nelson's and
the Marilyn Monroes? How
often have they wondered
what their famous name
Sakes are like?
Not many of them ever
get the chance to find out.
But a pretty blond cheer
leader at Yorktown High
School made such a remark
last July Is. On that day
another blond, Marlene
Schmidt of Stuttgart, Ger
many, was crowned Miss
Universe of 1861.
When the announcement
was made, 16-year-old Mar
lene Schmidt of Arlington,
who was watching the con-
test on television, decided
she would meet her famous
nameSake. Two-and-a-half

over. I was so excited, I
couldn't eat lunch"
That afternoon after
school, Marlene'S parents
took her to the Sheraton
Carlton Hotel where Miss
Universe was staying. After
being escorted to her suite,
they were introduced:
"Marlene Schmidt, meet
Marlene Schmidt"
They looked at each other
and smiled. Miss Universe
was somewhat surprised.
The younger Marlene was
slightly nervous.
But Miss Universe soon
put her young namesake at
ease, asking several ques-
lions with the aid of her
interpreter and companion,
Mrs. Hermine Vogler of
Miami.
Marlene explained that
she shares Miss UniverSe's
interest in mathematics and
wants to become a school,
teacher. Miss Universe told
Marlene about her 17-year-
old sister Cornelia who is
attending school in Ger
many.
Marlene had a little
difficulty, however, explain
ing her cheerleading duties
at school.
I'VE don't have this in
Germany" Miss Universe
said, and I haven't been
to one of your football
games yet"
She questioned Marlene at
length about cheerleaderS:
How are they chosen? Elk
actly what do they do? Do
all of them wear the same
uniform?
Marlene had come pre-
pared. She went into an
other room, quickly changed
into her cheerleading out
fit and gave Miss Universe
a demonstration, with meg
aphone and all.
Two bits, four bits, six
bits, a dollar. All those for
Yorktown, stand up and
holler!" And with that,
Marlene leaped into the
air.
Miss Universe appeared
startled at first. But then
she picked up the mega
phone, admired the letters
that spelled out "Marlene"
on it, and raised it to her
lips. She didn't remember
the cheer, so she made a
subdued foghorn sound.
Then Marlene asked her
to autograph the mega
phone.
ZACH, nein! DaS list so

Schoen," Miss Universe pro-
tested, pointing to the new,
unmarried paint of the
megaphone.
But Marlene insisted, and
complied with Miss Uni
verses request for her auto
graph. ..,s
When Miss Universe
asked Marlene how she got
her name, the Virginia girl
explained that her mother
had named her for Marlene
Dietrich, the German &C
tress whom she admires.
When it was time to 60,
Marlene said, "Good-by, it

was so nice meeting my
namesake."
"Aut WtederSehn," said
the German beauty. And
the meeting ended.
How did meeting her faz
nous nameSake affect Mar
lene?
I'm very glad 1 was able
to meet her since l had
been dreaming about it for
so long" Marlene says. Il

l think she's very natural.
Her personality just shined.

lay-nuh." Americans say
"Mar-leen."
But the differences made
no difference to the two
charming Marlene Schmidts.
In fact, Marlene was happy
to discover that their sim
ilarity doesn't stop with
their name.
Besides being blond with
blush eyes, both are tall
and long-legged, have win
ming personalities and like
to meet people. Also, Mar
lene has a brother the same
age as Miss Universe who is
an engineering graduate of
Cornell University. And her
ancestry is German.
The selection of Marlene
Schmidt of Germany as
1.-The most beautiful girl in
the world" has had a de-
cided effect upon Marlene
Schmidt of Arlington.
Il get kidded a lot, as
you might expect, by my
friends. They'd all say, I
hear you're Miss Universe
now In school, they still
call me that. It's a good
joke" says Marlene.
OF her long = awaited
meeting with Miss Universe,
Marlene says, Everybody at
school was just as excited
as I was. They all asked me
how I met her, how it was
arranged"
Here's what happened:
Last week Marlene was
listening to the radio while
getting dressed for school.
During a news broadcast,
she heard that Miss Uni
verse would arrive in Wash
ington that day for a three
day visit.
At breakfast, she re-
marked to her father, Miss
Universe is coming to town
today. Why don't you tell
her a girl with her same
name lives here and wants
to meet her"
1t was as simple as that,
and Marlene went off to
school. Her father accepted
his daughters confidence
in him as a challenge. On
his way to work, he stopped
by The Star Building and
asked TEEN to help him.
Within a few minutes, the
meeting had been arranged.
my mother called me at
school to tell me the good
news" Marlene recounts.
When she said I was going
to meet Miss Universe, Just
as l had mentioned at
breakfast, 1 couldn't con-
tain myself. I nearly fell

This meant one thing: old Vince meant business;
he was going to clean house, crack the whip and other
wise get the team ~shipshape for its 1889 gridron wars.
MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF THE REST Of the
National Football League and much to the pleasure of
the long-suffering Green Bay fans, lombard made
good on his promise. He coaxed the Packers to a fine
rs record. During most of the 1859 season, the Pack
es even had a contending role for the title.
He even did better last year. He guided Green
Bay to the division championship the teams first
title since 194l. In doing so, the Packers booted the ex-
citing Baltimore Colts out of the throne they had oc-
cupied for two years.
The Packers, who posted an "a record to grab
the title, were nudged out in the NIL championship
playoff game by Philadelphia. The decision was close
17-14.
LoMBARDPs REMARKABLE SUCCESS in pick
ing up the pieces of a l~astplace team and coaching it
to a title in two years brought him offers from other
clubs. But Vince, who had signed a Swear contract
with Green Bay, chose to stay. The happy Packer man
.agement tore up his contract and gave him another
with a pay raise.
The 48-year-old Green Bay coach began his foot
ball career as a fullback at st. Francis Prep in Brook
Ign. He went to Fordham University where, as a guard,
he became one of the nationally famous seven blocks
of granite"
In the 1935-36-37 seasons, when the "seven
blocks" continuously bottled up opposing teams, Ford
ham lost only a handful of games. In that span, Ford
ham fought Pittsburgh, then one of the nations top
powers. to three consecutive scoreess ties.
FROM JESUlT-oPERATED FoRDHAM, he went
to ST. Cecilia High in Englewood, N, ]. where his team
won 80 Stralght games. Lombardl returned to Ford
ham as freshman and assistant coach. In 1949, he be-
gan a f~ve-year career at West Point as Army back
field coach under Earl Blaik. He moved on to pro foot
ball in 1854 when he became offensive coach for the
New York Giants.
II was from the Giants that Green Bay officials
picked lombard to breathe new life into the oldest
pro football club in America. cit was organized in 1919
- a year when each player received $16.75 for a sea-
sons work.
Today, LombardiS Packer squad, operating in the
smallest city (pOp. 70, 000) in the NIL. is a leading
power. And as long as lombard, a tough disciplinar-
ian who tolerates no complacency, remains with Green
Bay, the Packers will continue to cause trouble for
the rest of the league on Sundays.
