Wyo. “What's the population of Goose Egg? About 10?” I superiorly asked this- young cowlady from Ken Murray's program who never smiles, “Ten!” she exclaimed in some indignation. “Less'n 10!" “There's the people that take care of the post office. Mr. and Mrs. Randall. They also run the

“WHAT'S the Goose Egg night club like?” 1 asked her as we sat in a rehearsal hall on 39th St, far, far away from Goose Egg. “I bin there,” she said. “They got a bar and a band.” “They got a show?” _ “Not any more,” she admitted. “but it's nice. It gets a little rough when the sheepherders come to town.” Laurie, who is favored with a beautiful figure

NEW YORK, Oct. 31—1It hurt to see the old boy belted through the ropes that way, to lie there crumpled and temporarily paralyzed by a punch that would never have reached the tawny panther we used to know as Joe Louis. But I think the old gentleman knows for sure now he's through, that the time has come to quit. His fights since his “comeback” started have been farcical, and the man has embroidered too much dignity into his life to wind up as a pathetic has-been, a figure of pitying scorn, Somehow you have a way of attaching yourself to certain sports figures. I have always tied myself to Louis and Joe DiMaggio, since we all hit the orts business about the same time.

WHEN HE SAW thé foundation in place, Rev, Bruner's frame of mind changed from one of doubt to confidence. ~ As work “progressed, confidence changed to joy, He saw this same change in the members of his congregation. They weré building on faith and each passing week saw that faith enriched despite the obstacles, He believes the new church is a stabilizing force, : - Although there is pride of accomplishment, Rev. Bruner said he and the members of the congregation will have to guard against too much, In this respect there is the possibility of sinning. GS eS THEN HE tells you of the difficulties of condutting church services in unchurchly surroundings as he has been doing, in the dining room of the parish house, There was a slight feeling of depression as Rev. Bruner hegan parish house activities when the old church avas torn down. It soon changed to one of elation, The congregation gathered sgtrength duning the period of construction. Asked why the Trinity Church didn't move to the suburbs and follow an important secular factor that affects the size of a church, Rev, Bruner answered that churches don’t have to be like the Arabians who race out with their tents where the most activity is. “We're not going to race anywhere with our tents. We'll stick here, he a midtown church, administer to our faithful and try to reach the unchurched, those who don’t worship anywhere,” answered Rev, Bruner,

She was wearing a revealing dress, and Ken saw her possibilities. “How'd you like to be in my,show?"” he asked her. . “You know, I was there once,” she reminded him. But next time she got the job, and then after a run on the coast, she came to New York with the show and after this Ken decided to do tele‘vision. ~ In the show, Ken had given her a speech to say.

KEN developed a trick of breaking into his show by velling “Cowboy!” after which Laurie would start her speech. Usually she didn’t finish it and she looked frustrated.

Joe was ever a sucker for a looping right, even when it belonged to such a clumsy fellow as the Junior Baer. This is mostly reminiscence, and has no real point to the piece. It's just that I have been fond for more'n 15 years of a fine gentleman who did great things to make the boxing business respectable, even though his major managers were in highly suspect businesses.

High Pressure Football—No. 3—
Front Liners Make O

31—What does a school playing
Writer
high-pressure football do when the National Colle-
giate Athletic code prohibits its coaching staff from’
bringing in bright prospects in carload lots and trying
them out on the premises? In Ohio State's case, the state was divided into sections, and the Ohio State Front Liners were organized to police it, There ig no rule against an alumnus or a volunteer worker scouting a consistent groundgainer or a big blocker or tackler and paying his expenses to the campus for the purpose of selling the university to him. There are 70 alumni Front Liners, but adopted ones contribute even more to the elaborate foothall program. In 1947. more than 50 eolleges sought Vietor Janowicz, Aa remarkable 186-pound tailbadk
for Elyria, O.. High. The resourceful Polish youngster, on everybody's All-America last vear, finally leaned toward Notre Dame. = on ” "JOHN W. GALBREATH,
multi-millionaire financier and realtor of Columbus, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, man of many interests, ‘including racing and baseball, settled that one. He gave Janowicz a job in his Columbus offices, guaranteed him employment for life, bought him a station wagon, and occasionally flies the star and his best gal to New York in his private plane for a weekend. The fact that Janowicz ‘is a bright 'haseball catching prospect easily could have something to do with it. John W., you see, owns the Pittsburg Pirates. Galbreath and Leo Yassenoff. a Front Liner alumnus who played here vears “ago, take turns entertaining the squad. Yassenoff, who is in the construction and motion picture business, played Santa Claus to the Rose Bowl squad in 1950.

like Galbreath: They are not doing anything more than what 100.000 other people would like to do. “They are interested in nothing more than selling Ohin State and promoting high-grade football,” says Athletic Director Richard C. Larkins. “If we paid anyone, or got out of bounds. the®organization would fold just like that. They're that kind of people.” Ohio State and Minnesota are the poorest in the Western Conference in scholarship allotments. A dozen football players have scholarships on the basis of grades, ranging from $300 to $900, depending on the donor. n n 2 THERE ARE NO athletic scholarships. Tuition and fees for a boy come to $50 and the expense of an average student from within the state runs about $600 for the three quarters. Football players, of course, eat at a training table and are housed in the stadium.
The maximum that a football player can be paid on a job is £100 a month, which ‘tomes to $88 when the withholding tax and whatnot are deducted.
Ohio State, with 21,000 students, 14,000 of them boys, is fortunate to be gituated-in the state capital. Of 450 undergraduates in state jobs, 60 are athletes. State office jobs pay from $40 to $60 a month. Other kids work in town with veteran assistant line coach Ernie Godftewv in charge of the employment agencty, Gladiators must work 15 hours a week, They may make up this time after the season. =» ” EJ “STATE JOBS are regulated.” explains Dick Larkins, “but the toughest task is to educate the merchant employer and see that the player puts in his time. The tendency of the average employer ig simply to take care of the plaver. and there is no .dignity in that. “Without being about it, we feel

Cracks in the Kremlin Wall—
Soviet Production Lagging
CHAPTER NINE By EDWARD CRANKSHAW THE Soviet Union has a population verging on two hundred million, four times the population of Great Britain, a third as much again as the population of the United States
It occupies one-sixth of all the land in the world. It has thousands of square miles of the most fertile land in the world. It disposes of astronomical reserves of coal, iron, nonferrous metals, and oil.
It has a standing army, including short-term conscripts, of nearly three million men. It is fuled by men who have no scruples, believe in the supremacy of force; and control a highly organized fifth column in every country of the world with the single exception of Switzerland.
These are facts which have hypnotized us into the belief that the Soviet Union is the
greatest power .in the world.
~ n ~
LET US LOOK at these facts from the other side of the hill. A few figures: * With all its great population the Soviet Union was scheduled to produce in 1950 only 250 million tons of coal, as against Britain's 200 million and America's 700 million tons. _ The comparative figures for steel are the Soviet Union's 25 milion tons as against Britain's 15 million tons and America's 90 million tons, « ! The oil production of the Soviet Union for BA50 was to be some 35 million tons, as
wore than 2

against America's 250 million tons. So much for heavy industry. In agriculture, with a greatly increased population, and with the addition to the Soviet Union of all the Baltic States. part of East Prussia, the Polish Ukraine, Moldavia and Bessarabia, the grain production in 1950 barely exceeded the 1940 level of grain production. In 1940, the total still lagged behind the precollectivization production of 1928, In 1950 there were some 600.000 tractors in use in the Soviet Union, as against 260.000 in Britain and more than 3 million in the United States,
WHEN it comes to maeator transport for agricultural purposes, the total number of trucks and lorries delivered in the Soviet Union for all purposes was 64,000, in America 2 million. It seems to me that sortment - cited here indicates more clearly than anything else the immense discrepancy hetween the Soviet potential and ‘the Soviet reality.
