IT MAY seem odd to suggest that
the Rt. Hon. Dr. John Bain
Sutherland, better known as Jock,
is tackling a new sort of job. The
job is still coaching a football team,
but this time it is the Brooklyn
Dodgers and not the Pittsburgh Pan
thers.
“This Is my first shot at pro foot
ball,” Jock tells you, “and I’ll have
to admit it may be something en
tirely different.
“For example, there’s the matter
of forward passing. As you know
we liked to hang onto the ball at
Pittsburgh as long as we could. I
used good passers when I had them,
but I didn’t like to throw the ball
around too much when I didn’t have
them.
“It is different with the Dodgers.
We have the passers, one of the
best in Ace Parker, and we’ll do
our full share of air work. I know
also that pro crowds demand a more
open or more spectacular game.
College football is full of spectacular
play, but no fireworks are demanded
by the crowds.”
Big crowds still remember those
slashing Panther backs who ran and
blocked with an offensive that was
hard to stop.
Speed Before Weight
“Being new at this pro game,”
Jock continued, “I may be entirely
wrong, but I still don’t believe
weight is as important as some oth
ers do. I’d rather have a fast 190-
pound lineman than a slower player
at 230 or 240. I still believe in speed
far above bulk. That extra yard
or two in moving around means
more than you might think.”
“What about a big, fast man?” I
asked Jock.
“As for instance?” Jock asked.
“Well, Cal Hubbard?”
“How many Hubbards do you see
around?” Jock said. “I mean 240'
or 245-pound players who are just as'
-y* %^||||
JOCK SUTHERLAND
fast as your backs and ends? We
haven’t seen many Hubbards in foot
ball. Or Fat Henrys either.
The 1940 rush may break all rec
ords, both among the colleges and
the pros. Sport remains the big
mind distractor and football leads
all other competitions in this re
spect.
I can’t recall when the college
game had so many strong teams—
scattered all over the map—Cornell,
Princeton, Fordham, Tennessee, Al
abama, Tulane, Texas A. and M.,
Southern Methodist, Ohio State, Min
nesota, Michigan, Notre Dame,
Southern California, Washington,
Duke, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebras
ka, L. S. U., Texas, T. C. U., Geor
gia Tech and Santa Clara. And
even this list is only a partial roll
call.
There should be at least 35 excep
tionally strong college teams this
year and they cover all known and
explored sections of the map.
The Football Phenomenon
Pound for pound, one of the great
football players and one of the most
amazing is 150-pound Dave O’Brien
of Bert Bell’s Philadelphia Eagles.
Little Dave has one record that
is almost beyond belief. As I recall
the vital statistics O’Brien’s slight
frame has never left a football game
through injuries in five years of col
lege and pro play. He finished three
years with T. C. U.’s hard schedule
minus a dent in his small but solid
system. And he was always be
tween a 50 and 60-minute man.
He was supposed to be too small
for the pro game. But in place of
being rumpled into a shapeless mass
Little Dave went along passing and
running and kicking without any
trouble.
You might ask Steve Owen of the
N. Y. Giants about him.
“One of the best I ever saw,”
Steve said, “smart running his
team, a fine ball carrier and one of
the best of all passers. And above
all as tough as green hickory when
it comes to taking his share of being
knocked about.”
O’Brien completed 40 passes in
bis last two pro games a year ago.
That ought to be a record—and I
think it is.
Running Bachs
A group of football coaches were
talking about the star running backs
ct football, apart from the power
house delegation.
In the discussion my top nomina
tion was Cliff Battles, and no one
cared to dispute the pick. Cliff Bat
,es and Red Grange were two of
the first nominations.
Uiff will tell you he was rarely
even jarred. Extremely fast and
* PPery, he had away of avoiding
shock tackling. No one could
L'ck an opening quicker.
HARVEST HOME PARTY
(See Recipes Below)
Household Neius
Everybody enjoys singing a song
of harvest home, even if they
haven’t had a personal stake in
bringing in the crops. At your har
vest home party, if you follow tradi
tion, you’ll have cornucopias filled
with fall fruits and garlands of
wheat or grasses grouped at the
center of your festive board. Little
dolls dressed in overalls and aprons
make amusing favors.
Farmer in the dell, blindman’s
buff, puss in corner, and the never
to be forgotten game of charades,
in which the participants can give
their all in dramatic acting, are tra
ditional juvenile game favorites that
are likely to give the grown-up con
tingent an equally good time. You
may want to do a little bit of folk
dancing, with the old time fiddler,
the pianist, and even an accordion
ist hitting off “country” songs.
When it comes to refreshments,
you may decide upon anything from
a big picnic spread to cookies and
a refreshing beverage. A fruit pie
is the most appropriate happy end
ing to your harvest home feast. Just
a hint to you homemakers if you
have trouble keeping the delicious
juice in a pie; quick cooking tapioca
may be used as a thickener, thus
eliminating the traditional hazard of
runaway juice.

Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for October 6

Council of Religious Education; used by

LUKE AND HIS GOSPEL
LESSON TEXT—Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1:1;
Colossians 4:14; II Timothy 4:11a.
GOLDEN Text—lt seemed good to me also
... to write . . . that thou mlghtest know
the certainty of those things, wherein thov
hast been instructed.—Luke 1:3, 4.
Reading a book is a privilege and
should be an illuminating and stir
ring experience. What a pity that
so few read good books in our day!
To study a book is a far more fruit
ful and interesting experience. Few
are the books worthy of prolonged
and repeated study. Therein do we
find one of the great differences be
tween books of men and God’s Book
—the Bible. Again and again we
turn to its pages and find its truth
inexhaustible, ever interesting, in
forming, and soul-stirring in its
beauty and power.
In reading any book, we want to
know who wrote it, what kind of a
man he was, why he wrote, what he
wrote about, and what kind of a
book he wrote. We recognize that
the Holy Spirit is the real author of
the Word (II Tim. 3:16; II Pet.
1:21), but He chose and used human
writers. As we begin a six-month
study of the Gospel according to
Luke, we properly ask about both
the author and his writing.
I. The Writer— Luke.
Our information regarding Luke Is
found in the New Testament, in the
introductory words of the books he
wrote (Luke and Acts) and in the
writings of his friend and co
worker, Paul. There we learn of his
1. Nationality and Religion. His
name, “Luke," is a contraction of
the Greek name “Loukios” and,
since we know from Colossians 4:11
and 14 that he was not ‘‘of the cir
cumcision,” we know he was a Gen
tile and evidently a Greek. When,
where and by whom he was won to
Christ, we do not know. We do
know that this intelligent Greek,
versed in all the philosophies of the
perfection of personality, found in
Christ the fulfillment of all his de
sires and dreams.
2. Profession—a Physician (Col. 4:
14. See also medical terms in all
his writings). Luke wrote scholarly
Greek; he was familiar with the life
of a sailor (Acts 27); he joined with
his scientific accuracy an esthetic
culture often revealed in his writ
ings.
3. His Friends. A man’s friends
indicate his character. Luke had
a close friend and possibly a patron,
“his excellency” Theophilus (Acts
1:1; Luke 1:3), evidently a man of
standing and ability. He was also a
close friend and fellow laborer with
perhaps the greatest man of all
time, Paul the apostle.
4. His Activities. Fellow mission
ary with Paul (Acts 16:11; 20:5, 6,
and elsewhere), physician, preacher
of the gospel, and author.
11. The Book—the Gospel by Luke.
To have written a book may be a
doubtful distinction, but to have
been used of the Holy Spirit to write
such a book as this Gospel—what an
honor and privilege! Following Dr.
G. Campbell Morgan, we note:
1. Its Subject. “The Word” (Luke
1:2). He wrote about the perfect
personality of Jesus Christ, but he,
like John (John 1:14), recognized
that it was the divine and eternal
Word which became flesh in the per
fect humanity of Jesus Christ.
2. Its Sources. He doubtless read
what many had written (Luke 1:1).
He also talked with “eyewitnesses”
(Luke 1:2) and “ministers of the
word” who had known the Lord.
His sources were excellent and un
impeachable.
3. Its Method. He ‘‘traced the
course” (for so does the R. V. prop
erly translate Luke 1:3) of the ma
terial he gathered; that is, he did
original research and investigation,
always under the control and guid
ance of the Holy Spirit. This result
ed in a placing of all things “in or
der.” After gathering, sifting, in
vestigating, the Holy Spirit saw that
Luke put all things in proper order
(see I Cor. 14:33, 40).
4. Its Purpose. Luke wanted The
ophilus (and others who read his
Gospel) to know with ‘‘certainty”
(Luke 1:4) those things in v/hich he
was already instructed by word of
mouth. Important matters must al
ways be written down, carefully and
in order. To pass things on by word
of mouth inevitably results in
change, conscious or unconscious.
So desperately vital a matter as
our eternal salvation calls for writ
ings, exact and complete. Luke,
who had a knowledge of all these
things, was moved by the Holy
Spirit to write, and thus we have
this glorious Gospel which we are
to study from now until the end of
March, 1941.

THE HOUSE
For a little variety bake your
pies in square or rectangular
shaped pans. Often they are eas
ier to cut into equal portions from
such a shape.
• * •
To keep marshmallows moist,
store them in the bread box.
• * •
In making toast be sure the
bread is at least a day old. Cut it
even and rather thin, less than
one-half inch; remove the crust,
then toast slowly. Cut the crust
in half-inch pieces and use as
croutons for soup.
* ♦ •
A novelty container which will
hold several of the handsome vine
plants is a clear glass bowl about
five inches in diameter. Plants
such as the ivy or philodendron
will take root in such bowl filled
with clear water, and the effect
is stunning.
