A GIANT I'HE SOliTH ! ? Truly a giant of financial security and protection, the Jefferson Standard? as measured by volume of ordinary life insurance in force? today ranks in the top 2% among the nation's more than 1,500 life in surance companies. With more than $2.4 billion of ordinary life insurance in force and assets in excess of $750 million, Jefferson Standard is one of the largest and strongest life insurance companies in the world. Now guaranteeing 3% on policies currently issued, the Jefferson Standard for 57 years has never paid less than 4% interest on dividend accumulations and on policy proceeds left on deposit to provide income. This long record of 4% interest payments . . . unequalled by any other major life insurance com pany . . . has stood the test of time at every point on the economic cycle. If you value your life . . . think Jefferson Standard. TTCflDlMooo Jefferson JJtandari $t446la/tce' HO MB OF PIC I / ?RIINIIORO, N.C. Profiles In Sports ?y "Rtd" Schuyler Football . . ? What is foot- , j?ll? Webster defines foot- 1 Mil u an Infilled ball to be kicked in sport, ? field game played with a football In which | each of two contesting teams i tries to kick or carry the ball , to or through Its opponent s ] goal or goal line. That's about the silliest de finition of football that I have ever heard. I And did you know that a lot J of people accept it as that. ] Some people may add that it gives them some place to go on Friday nights and Satur day afternoons. I To me and any boy that has ever played football It is I a lot more than what is de- i fined by Webster. Let me tell you how a ] football player would define football, k is a game that requires 100H effort at all times. It is a game where you get out of it exactly what you ] put into it. Nothing more, nothing less. A football player reports to his school two weeks before 1 school opens for two a day | practice sessions until school I opens. At the opening of school, he : encounters other problems, such as trying to maintain a high scholastic average. He is I required to do this in order to i play the game he loves. No other student Is required to do this. He reports to school at the same time as all other ! students, but his day is not over at 3:00 as it Is for other students. His day does not end until dark, that is as far as ; school is concerned. Most of I these fellows have daily ] chores to attend to upon reach ing home. After his evening meal, ? chances are he will have to I study for several hours. He cannot go out and loaf half the night (he is in training, re member), and besides chances I are after a good hard day's practice, he's too tired and doesn't care about going out gallavantlng around. He not only spends his 1 nights studying, he probably I is thinking about today's prac- < tice. . . what he did wrong... I how he can make himself a I better player . . . trying to ! remember what is expected of < him when a certain play is j called. A football player practices ( twelve weeks out of every year 1 Out of these twelve weeks practice, and if he is lucky, he may get to play part of ten games. He puts in fifty days of hard practice till dark. He gives 14) nine Saturday mornings to report back to his coaches for consultation and review of the previous night's game. He has to memorize a lot of plays. He has to know what to do in certain instances. He has to make a lot of quick decisions. Sure,you and 1 can sit up in the stands when e makes a mistake and decide what he should have done, but that's after the play is over. He has to make the decision while the play in underway. So you see, football is quite 1 bit more than what Webstej says it Is. A football player makes many sacrifices. He takes a lot of hard knocks. He may even get an arm, leg sr nose broken. There have seen instances where a boy has even given his life to play football. Although this is rare and remote, it can happen. It has happened. Just as it has happened to people getting in and out of a bath tub, or crossing a street, or falling down a flight of stairs. 1*11 guarantee you he will take home a few bruises and lots of sore muscles, all through the season. Anyone that has participated in sports will tell you that football is the most demanding of all sports. You probably ask why does he play if it requires all this. I'll tell you why. First, he Ukes It so he s got to. If he doesn't he won't be back for practice hut a few days because he is only wasting his time and the coaches. The average boy likes rugged bodily contact. And then pleasing you pleases him. There are lota of boys on the team that you wouldn't even know they were out for foot ball unless you saw their names on the program. These are the fellows whose name you never see In the paper, but to me these are the fellows who really make die team. These are the fellows who get knocked around all wMk by the players on the first team and most times in an un usually close game on Friday night they have to sit on dM botch always hoping tbatthaif chance will come so that thty can show their relatives^ friends, and sweetheart that they are on the team. Only eleven men can play at a time and these eleven men are the ones that are considered the best men and sometimes haw to play the entire game. These men are the ones that probably warmed the bench the previous years, having come up through die ranks. But I will guarantee you that Is they stick it out until they are seniors, they will be the stars and the ones that will be considered "first team". So you see a football player pays a big price to provide you with entertainment on Friday nights. The next time you go out to a football game and one of the players make a mistake, and he will make a mistake or two quite often, don't be the first to "Boo" him or criticize. He knows when he makes a mis take and he will hate it more than you will. Tour "booing" won't help his feelings. If he does something to please you and you think U is good, be the first to applaud and compliment. This goes a long way and will make him try just a little bit harder to please you more. When you meet him on the street or at church services on Sunday, let him in some way know that you enjoy the game and appre ciate the sacrifice that he is making in order that you have some place to go on Friday nights. Bobby Dodd, coach and ath letic director at Georgia Tech had this to say when some par ents had a doubt in their mind about their son playing foot ball. They said that they were ?/raid If their boy played foot ball it would run him and possibly develop in him a rough character and make him a "bad" boy. His reply was that "You send me a good boy, and when he returns home after playing football, 111 re turn to you a better boy." To me and thousands of football fans, this just about sums up what football is.
