I OS ANGELES. ? What happens
to our star football pros after
the last kick-off? How do they man
age to kill time between December
and rcxt August when they put on
the old harness again? You might
be surprised.
On my way to Texas for the Cot
ton Bowl game I spent two days
with a pair of fair
country football
players from Tex
as. They were Sam
my Baugh and Dick
Todd of the Wash
ington Redskins,
who had just left
the all-star battle
against the deva
stating Chicago
Bears.
"Well," I said to
Baugh, one of the
great forward pass
Grantland Rice
ers and also one ol the great kickers
of all time, "nothing to do now until
next August."
"No," he said, with the old Texas
half-drawl, "nothing to do but han
dle my 800-acre cattle ranch and
see those cattle get plenty to eat.
I know an 800-acre ranch isn't so
much in Texas, but I hope to add
another 800-acre patch this winter
and give my cattle plenty to eat.
That'll keep me busier than chuck
ing a few passes, even against those
Bears."
"What was your college weight?'
I asked Baugh, who is 6 feet 2.
"One-eighty-two pounds," Sammy
Sa'd , ? ux
"What was your reporting weight
in August and what did you finish
with?" I asked.
Silent Sam
"One-eighty-two pounds," Sam
answered. Sam is strictly on the la
conic side. He says what he has to
say in the fewest possible words,
which is one of the greatest of all
human virtues.
"Where are you headed for,
Dick?" I asked 168-pound Dick Todd,
one of the best of the running backs.
"Just a tittle ranch outside of
Sweetwater and a few head of cattle.
Gee, I'm glad to get back. That
home on the range looks good to
me."
About Sweetwater
Both Baugh and Todd got oft at
Sweetwater. This, also, is where
Lew Jenkins lives. There must be
something in the Sweetwater air
that breeds athletes.
I asked Dick Todd what he thought
of Jenkins.
"Lew's a much better flghter than
tic looks to be," Todd said. "You
see he came up the hard way and
I guess that's the best way, if you
are trying to get somewhere. I don't
want any part of the flght game my
self, but this pro game is no easy
way either.
"Early in the season I took a pass
from Sammy here (meaning Baugh)
and just as I straightened out of a
half-spin Falaschi hit me. All he
did was to drive part of my intes
tines back against my spine and I
had to live on milk for two weeks till
I got straightened out. Don't let
anybody tell you they don't hit you
in this pro game. Both Sammy and
X ought to know."
I asked Baugh about better pro
tection for the passer, after he has
gotten the ball away.
"That's where the damage
comes," Sam said. "I've had to
take plenty. I think the officials
might keep an eye on what happens
after the pass is thrown. I don't
mind being knocked down so much,
but I don't like fists in my face."
Who does?
I can't remember ever seeing an
official watch the passer after the
ball was thrown down the field. They
all watch the ball. I've seen plenty
myself that should have been called
double-roughness?which never was
called. Or was even seen.
About Danny Fortman
Sitting on the bench you look at
Danny Fortman, the star guard of
the Chicago Bears.
Danny in his harness is a burly
looking individual who doesn't seem
to be headed anywhere in particu
lar?off the football field. But Danny
graduated at the head of his school
at the age of 16. He graduated from
Colgate at the age of 20 summa cum
laude. He was a brilliant student.
He is vsing pro football to get
his medical degree and there is cer
tainly no student in the Ivy league
who has more ability or greater am
bition. . , ....
He is one of the great football
guards of his era?smart, keen, ag
gressive, alert, and physically pow
erful. He Is an exceptional medical
student who is almost certain to go
a long way in his profession
RIoomin Parrot Was

Bert had s pen*, hours trying to
teach his parrot to say "Hello,
Uncle," reaily for the visit of his
wealthy relative.
Uncle came?the parrot was dumb.
Bert seized the bird by the
throat. "Say 'Hello, Uncle.' or
I'll wring your bloomin' neck," he
roared.
And when silence continued he
twisted the biri's neck and threw
it into the (owl pen.
Queer squawks drew him to the
fowl pen next morning On the
ground were three dead hens. The
parrot had a fourth by the neck,
shaking him and shouting: "Say,
?Hello, Uncle,' or I'll wring your
bloomin' neck."

CHRIST'S CONCERN
FOR TIIK LOST
LESSON TF.XT?Luke 15:1-10.
GOLDEN TEXT?The Son of man Is come
to seek and to save that which was lost
Luke IS:10.
Lost! What fear and disquietude
grips our hearts when we hear that
word! A little boy strays away into
the forest, and the whole country
side gives up its work to go and seek
him. An airship fails to reach its
destination, and hundreds of ships
go to seek after it, while an entire
nation waits in suspense. A ship
is lost at sea, and the whole world
grieves.
But listen! It is only when ap
plied to the spiritual life that the
word "lost" finds its real depth of
meaning. To be "without God in
the world" (Eph. 2:12) and without
hope?that is to really be lost. Yet
parents who would not rest a mo
ment while their child was physical
ly lost go on without concern over
his spiritual condition.
Our Lord had no such unconcern.
He was deeply moved over the lost
condition of men; He came "to seek
and to save that which was lost."
The two parables of our lesson teach
us three truths.
I. Lost and Lamented (vv. 1-4, 8).
The publicans and sinners recog
nized their need of a Saviour and
He, knowing their lost condition, re
ceived them, much to the disgust of
the Tharisccs and scriben who felt
no need to be saved. They have
their descendants in our churches
today.
The good shepherd cannot rest
while one of the sheep is lost.
Though "there were ninety and nine
that safely lay in the shelter of the
fold," he sought the lost one. His
grief-stricken heart compelled him
to go out into the night to And him.
One wonders how we who profess
to follow Christ, the Good Shepherd,
can be so complacent about the lost,
j What if we do have the ninety and
nine in church?where is the lost
one? Even if we do have a large
Sunday School class?where are the
l boys and girls who are lost? Do
j our hearts grievo over them? If so,
i we will go and seek them. We who
j would quickly join the woman in
I seeking for her coin?will we join
I uie Saviour in seeking the lost?
II. Sought by Sacrifice (vv. 4, 8).
The woman laid aside her usual
duties and the pleasures of life to |
seek her coin. The shepherd left
the warmth, the comfort, and the ?
.rest which he had earned to go cut !
?nto the wilderness to seek his
'sheep.
"But none of the ransomed ever
knew
How deep were the waters
crossed;
Nor how dark was the night that
the Lord passed through
Ere He found His sheep that was
lost."
Soul-winning calls for sacrifice.
If the love of Christ constrains us,
we will do it gladly, but if the self
seeking, comfort-loving spirit of this
age controls our lives, we will al
ways find some excuse (not a rea
son, but an excuse).
III. Restored With Rejoicing (vv.
5-7, 9, 10).
The lost coin back in the owner's
hand brought joy to her and her
neighbors. The shepherd calls in
friends and neighbors to rejoice over
the restored sheep. How intensely
human that is, and how altogether
appropriate.
The great truth, however, is found
in verses 7 and 10, where we learn
that the repentance of one sinner
sets even the bells of heaven ringing
as the angels of God rejoice.
Our lesson will not be complete
unless we consider the rest of the
chapter?the parable of the prodigal
son. In its main points it is like
the other two parables, but there
is this vital difference?the shepherd
sought his sheep, the woman
searched for her coin?the father
did not seek the son; the son sought
the father.
Some prodigal, far from the house
of his heavenly Father, may read
these lines and say, "I wish some
one would seek me out and bring
me to God." But, my friend, you
need not wait for anyone. Do as
the prodigal did?"arise and go" to
God. He is waiting for you; His
love has never faltered; He wants
you to come now. Make His heart
rejoice, and set the choirs of heaven
singing, by coming to Him by
faith?just now.
