DSHD TO By HANK MESSICK lard Reminder OIT (AP) Jack en, rookie halfback with pit Hons from Colorado 1 never forget his first touchdown. Against Colo verslty, Christiansen Punt and galloped' 90 Score. The football season got underway the other night at Chicago and demonstrated a number of things. One of them was the fact that the champions of professional football, the Cleveland Browns, are still a rough, tough, ahd well oiled 'ma chine. They won 33 to 0. In line with that is the evidence that experience and teamwork is far superior to the work of indivi dual stars. The present collection of Browns has been playing together for about five years; the College All SJars were brought together only recently. The Browns were playing for money and glory, but for glory as a team; the All Stars Were simply trying to live up to their names as individual stars, and any glory could only come from individual performance High School and college play makes it clear that while a man may be a star, he is a star of the team; Thus, when you throw to gether a bunch of individual stars, no matter how great, and give them hardly time to learn their team mates names before putting them up against a veteran outfit, the re- SHOWING THE WAY - - , By Afen Mover VCRN BICKFORD, &RAVSS, lA6U 72? H',V (fOT A FLYAO 5TART -ftWAW H(5 first 2o Mt suits are inevitable. ' , That brings up the question I've been rambling toward: why do 92 000 people pay to see such a one sided game? The answer, of course, Is the answer, and the evllr to the problems of West Point, Bradley University,; and Mudhole College. People pajMd see famous players and famous teams. The All . Star game gave them both. Only a small per cent care too much about act ual football. The atraction is much the same for movie stars or visiting royalty. And there you have your evil. People go to games to see famous stars. By going they make other players famous. Then the people return to see the new stars. And so on until the colleg goes to ex tremes to get good players, for the people and the press agents to make famous. Then the ' players, feeling their chief purpose is to play ball and not necessarily to study, feel in a privileged position and go to exteremes themselves. There, in a nutshell, is your prob lem. Am I the nut or you? In regards to the above someone is sure to ask, and justly so, why the extreme' interest locally in high . school games If all people care to see are big name -stars? Well, I : can,', attempt an answer there too. v . Interest locally, and the .same is basically true anywhere, centers around a time-honored "feud". Locally, of tourse, it is the Way nesville-Canton affair which, if my Information is correct, has its roots in an older and larger feud Duke vs Carolina. Other elements enter Into such a rivalry, of course, and one, of them usually is nothing more than the competition existing be tween .two neighboring towns. All friendly, you understand, but nev ertheless real. But to get back to my answer. The feud exists, and the desire to win Is great. Waynesville andor Csnton very early becomes proud of Its team, and follows it with enthusiasm as the climax approach es the final game with the rival. Each victory encourages hope that We'll lick those boys this year." Players are glorified, and individ ual . performances discussed and compared. But is it football as a sport they are interested in? For the most part, an emphatic NO. It Is simply a desire, similar In every way to the desire of non-playing students, to "Beat Canton; Beat Waynesville; Beat Duke; or Beat Yale." - The Immediate above is not in tended as necessarily a criticism. In many ways it is good, but the fact must not be overlooked that it is this same over-exaggeration, this same emphasis on victory, that leads to the occasional scandals you read about in your papers with disgust. Were it wthiln my pro vince, I might try to show in de fense, that the same impulses car ry over into our every day life and conduct, and produce things on both a local and national level of which we are not exactly proud.

Seventeen names are absent from the roster, and the seventeen men bearing them are already widely scattered. Only a few are continuing to play football. Kenneth Stiles and Alden Mc Cracken, for example, are in the Air Force and stationed in Texas. Wade Francis, Henry Nichols and James Moss are working at vari ous jobs. Harold Metcalfe. Tommy Boyd, Linton Palmer, and Joe How ell are planning to enter college but do not plan to play football. Ex-co-captain, Bob Setzcr, does Intend to "play football, however, and later hopes to be a conch, Ho has entered the University of South Carolina. Bill Sutton is try ing to break his own kicking rec ord at the University of Miami. Jerry Evans, Ted Noland, James 'Perk" Fugate, and Joe Hipps are enrolling at Western - Carolina where, they will play for the Cata mounts.

I will give fifty cents, I can't of ford more, to the first person who correctly informs me why Charles Justice, better gnown as "Choo AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor My biggest golf thrill was win ning the St. Fuul Open in 1946.
