VINCE LOMBARDI - R. I. P.

F ; It is difficult to speak of Vince Lombardi in anything superlatives. In American sport he was one of the all time greatest, from the time he was one of Fordham’s "Seven Blocks of Granite" in 1935-36 t > his most recent triumph as the first coach in 15 years to biing a winner to the Washington Redskins. In his first coaching job at the 600 student fct. Cecilia High School in Englewood, New Jersey, his foot ball team won 36 games in a row. Lombardi went through 1 i an years as assistant coach ■Kt - Fordham and Army; but in 1954 he went to the New York Ginats as an assistant and was able to inject sufficient steam that in two years the Giants won the National Football League championship. But it was not until the so-so Green Bay Packers came along in 1959 that Lombardi was able to demonstrate his mettle as ■bead coach and general mana*

TIME TO GET SERIOUS

Lach and every day we seem to be losing a little more as our country gets into more and more involvement on foreign soil. Just where and when this is going to stop remains to be -een, but in the very near future, our nation is going to be forced to quit playing around and start getting serious hbout activities on foreign soil. Two incidents have come up in the recent weeks that are forcing this issue. Orte was the tragic malicious killing of Dan Mitirome and the other inviolves the some 90 men being held through the hijacking of airliners this past week end. We already have wasted a good mhny of years, dollars and particularly lives in Vietnam. ►Since President Eisenhower put tne first 600 Americans there in the early 1950 s. it has been one continual increase of ridiculous waste. Trying to police someone else’s country without getting involved in a war is impossible. Not turning against our leaders efforts to thwart the spread of Communisum but thinking of the thousands and thousands of lives we are losing in losing a war that the United States could win handiHistorical Patriotic Calendar Sept 10, 1944 — The first air•dane designed exclusively to arry cargo during World War II

ger with undisputed authority, and the Lombrdi magic took fire. The Packers won their first game of the season 9 6 over the Chicago Bears - and they were winners from then on; in nine years, five NFL championships and two World championships. Lombardi was an achiever by nature: but more than that, he made beleivers out of people round him. To Lombardi the game was to win; any game, every game. In his own words: "If a man is a man, he must pursue victory with all his might. The will to win and the will to excell, these are the things that endure. The quality of any man's life has got to be his ability to excell and to win. This is my creed it would be my football creed if I had one — re gardless of what profession you have in life.” The spirit of Vince Lombardi will serve as an example to follow for generations to come.

ly should they go all out. it is the most ridiculous mess that could be made. Whenever it takes tms many American lives, we have the perfect right to fight to win. not just to set back and trade licks with the opponents. These men in Vietnam are not being given our greatest support and now we have done little if anything about the death of Mitirome. If a serious con. sequence follows the holding of the Americans aboard the jets, the country will be forced to get "over-involved” in another land. Not just through talk, but through action. Not being a war monger or anything of that nature, it is hard to say that drastic action must be taken but that is right where the country sets now. America. "The Greatest Nation of the World” is slowly becoming the biggest "Patsy” of the world through the lack of a "get tough” policy in the foreign affairs we try to offer help in. How w*ould you feel if one of your family were in voiced in one of these situations and your country didn’t stand behind you? Maybe the old story of “The Man Without A Country" is becoming more and more a reality every day. the 0 82, wes successfully test flown at Hagerstown. Md.
