MY CONTENTION HAS always been that there's

there is on the, field. Last Saturday I trayeled with the Butler Bulldogs to Crawfordsville to find out if I were right, Tony Hinkle took 43 players to Wabash. Unless most of the regular Bulldogs suddenly broke their legs, a majority of the others would not get a chance 40 “get in there and fight.” The ButlerWabash classic promised to be close, It was anyone's ball game, For the kickoff Hinkle had Ralph Chapnfan, Bill Kuntz, Ray McSemek, Ott Hurrle, Curtis Kyvik, John Murphy, Knute Dobkins, Bill Sylvester, Dick Bennett, Orville Williams and Francis Moriarty at battle stations. The rest of the squad was practically on the field as the whistle blew. I was the only one warming the bench.

- Hinkle Bobs to Sidelines

WHEN THE GAME settled down to a fierce tug-of-war during the first quarter, you could see the effects on the substitutes. There was a great deal of silent gum and fingernail chewing. I was surprised how quiet the boys were. Except for an occasional “That's the old fire,” or “Kill 'im,” the bench warmers kept their emotions boiling inside. You could tell each man was hoping for a “break.” Hinkle was hard to keep up with, First he was on the bench, then he was on the sidelines talking to Line Coach John Rabold or Assistant Coach Herb Schwomeyer, It wasn't unusual to see Hinkle engrossed with a sliver of fresh grass, A replacement always took the best wishes of the squad with. him on the field. These ranged from something specific like “Smear 68,” to a generality" like “Plow 'em under.” : The first players to be replaced brought back their impressions of Wabash. Most of the descriptive phrases unfortunately cannot be printed. Curtis Kyvik plunked himself next to me. With a water-soaked towel, Curtis nursed a split lower lip which was bleeding. He muttered something about “He busted me in the mouth and when I get back in I'm going to get 'im.”

What, No Soap?

NEW YORK-—It is mildly surprising that the molders of our dietetic destiny have not as yet inaugurated a soapless Saturday. The immeasurable fats of the land, off which we are alleged to be living, would be husbanded thereby. It would also strike a nice generous note for Chuck Luckman, the bright young man who is running the food-saving campaign. Mr. Luckman is the boss-boy at Lever Brothers. Lever Brothers manufactures soap. 1 foresee a great future in total abstention from everything in this nation. If we eschew, which I think means give up, bathing, eating and drinking, there isn't nguch left to abjure (that means give up, too) except sex and. sleeping. Eventually we may achieve complete divorce from the irksome business of being. We will hang suspended, like the threetoed sloth, in a plastic vacuum ‘which is liberally stickered .on the outside with high-minded slogans. As a serious contributor to the second-guessing

on our times, I cannot stress non-bathing on Saturday sufficiently. For one thing, Grandpa always held that washing weakened the washer. It opened up the pores and your strength oozed out through them. Simultaneously, all sorts of vicious germs, hitherto held at bay, walked easily through the expanded holes in your, hide. But we will abandon pure science for a trip into potential. If we quit the weekly scrubdown, we will save fats. If we save fats, that means that many a pig, coconut tree and vegetable will worship us, thereby aiding global solidarity.

Poor Man's ‘Iron Curtain’

THE COMMON COLD may well vanish from the earth, because people who have given up the Saturday ablution will perforce remain at arm's length from each other. This will be known as the pear man’s iron curtain, or the cold war. (I knew a man once who slipped in what he thought was subtlety and broke his neck.) I am all busted out with recipes for what ails us today, and so we come now to a solution of the

Spotlight ¢ on n Reds By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-The question today seems to be whether a man who earns $100,000 a year can be a Communist, Some say no and Sam Wood, the celebrated movie director, says yes, . ‘The tall, gray, and kindly Mr. Wood—a man for whom actors like to work—was perspiring under the spotlights of the House un-American Activities Committee. He was ‘telling how he thought Hollywood's Communists ought to be packed off to Russia. He mentioned a few of his fellow directors who tried to sink the directors’ guild in ‘what he called the Red River. But the fellows Hollywood must watch most of all, he said, are che screen writers. “Would you care to name any Comm#tinists among them?” asked committee counsel Robert Stripling. Mr. Wood said he certainly would. He listed the Messrs. Dalton Trumbo, Donald Ogden, Stewart and John Howard Lawson. Mr. Stripling asked if there was any doubt fn his’ mind. - “If there is,” snapped Mr. Wood, “then I haven't any mind.”

Committee Calls Mayer $0 PRETTY SOON director Wood was excused with thanks and the committee called the one-time highest-salaried man in America, the white-thatched and roly-poly Louis B. Mayer, the boss of M-G-M. Did Ite have any Communists working for him? Mr. Mayer sputtered a little and said if he did, you'd never notice it from their work. He said maybe they were scared to inject propaganda into Metro pictures. Perhaps they were afraid of the M-G-M lion. Well, who were they? Mr. Mayer said he’d heard mentioned the names of the Messrs. Trumbo, Stewart and Lester Cole. He said he couldn't fire ‘em because he couldn't prove they were Communists. All they did was write about Boy Meets Girl, with trimmings. - So the committee listed the wages He gave Mr. Cole $53,000 last year and

But a Butler fumble sent the bench into a deep and agonizing groan. Hope and despair rode around the bench through the first half, The Butler band sparked the Bulldog fahs during

on' the bench, all alone, I thought it was too bad the players weren't out there taking some of it in. But they were probably getting music from Tony Hinkle. He looked like he was going to play an overture when he left the field, The kickoff which started the second half of the game had every sub on his feet yelling for a touchdown, a lot of touchdowns,

Two Touchdowns and Madness TRAINER JIM MORRIS began to get more and more business as players came off the field vowing vengeance just as soon as they got their breath back, All of a sudden Bulldog James Rosenstihl cocked his arm and let go with a pass.
