To Black Panthers
By RONNIE HUNT

lo?t another heart-breaker Sat
urday night, Jan. 26, to Aabe
Central's Black Panther*. A ?
foot set shot from the corner
with three seconds remaining
in the third overtime period
broke a U- 55 tie, and gave the
decision to the Panthers. The
Blue Devils led throughout the
entire game until late in the
regulation time when a shot by
Jim Woodie tied the score. A
last second shot by 'tommy Tay
lor failed to drop and the game
went into overtime. Each team
scored three points in the first
three-minute overtime period.
In the second one, Ashe Cen
tral controlled the tap and after
mining a shot, the Blue Devil*
took over. They played for one
shot, and once again the last
shot attempt failed. The third
overtime period was scoreless
until the final shot dropped
through the nets. S3P '

conference against five wins
for the Devil*. Their overall re
cord stands at 6-9, good enough
for fifth place in the District

Comment On Sports
By PETE FRITCHIE
Washington, D. C. ? Godfrey
Hodgson, a Britisher writing re
cently in British newspaper,
gives some interesting views of
American football. It should be
remembered that most Euro
peans, where football as played
in most of the world originated,
do not understand the rules and
methods of U. S. football.
The gist of Hodgson's sum
mary is that American football
is Prussian ' brutality, "though a'
super* 'spectacle for tberfm*
The British writer was franfcir
amazed at the pressure exerted
on educational institution
coaches to win.
He was fascinated by the
speed and violence and team
work of the game. But he re
ported to his British readers
that coaches brow-beat their
players, drive them through
para-military discipline and
sometimes force them to train
until them vomit. (Deaths, too,
are a yearly occurrence in the
beginning of rugged drills and
training sessions.)
The Brithish do not admire
the violence of the game, which
causes so many injuries. They
dislike the para-military organi
zation of the game, which sees
to "commander" running the
game from the sidelines (the
coach) and driving on his
"squads" (a military team)
with Prussian brutality.
The British also depreciate
the tactics of many coaches,
who have abused players, forced
them to wrestle with each other
until they had to be helped up
and taught them dirty tactics.
(An All- American recently quit
the game because he would not
resort to the tactics necessary
in the game today.)
The British are surprised
that football is sweeping the
country. To the British, a sport
is something wherein good
sportsmanship and clean play
are the thing. They cannot ad
mire a game for big men only.
They see no merit in putting
a premium on sheer size and
strength. They see no connec
tion with sport in this. It is an
asset in physical violence, of
course, but should not be con
fused with sports or good
sportsmanship, in the British
view.
The disturbing thing about
all this? and it will probably
not affect our style of football
unfortunately? is that Hodgson
and the British are about one
hundred per cent correct.
