What happens to our star football pros after the last kick-off? How do they man age to kill time between December and next August when they put on the old harness again? You might »e surprised. On my way to Texas for the Cot on Bowl game I spent two days gwith a pair of fair country football players from Tex as. They were Sam my Baugh and Dick Todd of the Wash ington Redskins, who had just left the all-star battle against the deva stating Chicago Grantland Rice Baugh ’one of the great forward pass ers and also one of the great kickers of all time, “nothing to do now until next August.” “No,” he said, with the old Texas half-drawl, “nothing to do but han dle my 800-acre cattle ranch and see those cattle get plenty to eat. I know an 800-acre ranch isn’t so much in Texas, but I hope to add another 800-acre patch this winter and give my cattle plenty to eat. That’ll keep me busier than chuck ing a few passes, even against those Bears.” “What was your college weight?” I asked Baugh, who is 6 feet 2. “One-eighty-two pounds,” Sammy said. , “What was your reporting weight in August and what did you finish with?" I asked. Silent Sam “One-eighty-two pounds,” Sam answered. Sam is strictly on the la conic side. He says what he has to say in the fewest possible words, which is one of the greatest of all human virtues. “Where are you headed for, Dick?” I asked 168-pound Dick Todd, one of the best of the running backs. “Just a little ranch outside of Sweetwater and a few head of cattle. Gee, I’m glad to get back. That home on the range looks good to me.” About Sweetwater Both Baugh and Todd got off at Sweetwater. This, also, is where Lew Jenkins lives. There must be something in the Sweetwater air that breeds athletes. I asked Dick Todd what he thought of Jenkins. “Lew’s a much better fighter than he looks to be,” Todd said. “You see he came up the hard way and I guess that’s the best way, if you are trying to get somewhere. I don’t want any part of the fight game my self, but this pro game is no easy way either. “Early in the season I took a pass from Sammy here (meaning Baugh) and just as I straightened out of a half-spin Falaschi hit me. All he did was to drive part of my intes tines back against my spine and I had to live on milk for two weeks till I got straightened out. Don’t let anybody tell you they don’t hit you in this pro game. Both Sammy and I ought to know.” I asked Baugh about better pro tection for the passer, after he has gotten the ball away. “That’s where the damage comes,” Sam said. “I’ve had to take plenty. I think the officials might keep an eye on what happens after the pass is thrown. I don’t , mind being knocked down so much, but I don’t like fists in my face.” Who does? I can’t remember ever seeing an official watch the passer after the ball was thrown down the field. They all watch the ball. I’ve seen plenty myself that should have been called double-roughness—which never was called. Or was even seen. About Danny Fortman Sitting on the bench you look at Danny Fortman, the star guard of the Chicago Bears. Danny in his harness is a burly looking individual who doesn’t seem to be headed anywhere in particu lar—off the football field. But Danny graduated at the head of his school at the age of 16. He graduated from Colgate at the age of 20 summa cum laude. He was a brilliant student. He is using pro football to get his medical degree and there is cer tainly no student in the Ivy league : who has more ability or greater am bition. He is one of the great football guards of his era—smart, keen, ag gressive, alert, and physically pow erful. He is an exceptional medical student who is almost certain to go a long way in his profession. Pro football has done a great job for these college graduates who oth erwise might have been left out in the blizzard of the depression. It has given them the chance to make enough money to carry out their earlier dreams. I don’t mean all of them. I mean a great many of them. It gave Sammy Baugh and Dick Todd and many others the chance to carry out their hope for a “home on the range.” It has given many of them chances which our present eco nomic system couldn’t offer them- HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL, PERRY, GEORGIA Household News MID WINTER MENUS (See Recipes Below) You may have a mental filing system for your menus, or you may Jot down your meal ideas and slip them into a recipe box. Either way, the chances are that mid-winter finds you in the market for some fresh and workable ideas for what to feed the family. First and foremost, you will want your winter menus to be warming and heartening. u The calorie con- ' tent may be a ! little higher be- ““ cause more ener- W°T gy is needed to Ijv p /Vr ~° supply heat and because the cold o]\-<3 -w stimulates us to more activity. Vi tamin suppliers need to be care- 0 fully watched. With your garden adrift with snow, not so many fresh vegetables and fruits will find their way to your table without a spe cial effort on your part. Even if fresh peas, green beans and vine-ripened tomatoes are out of reach, almost any market boasts whole bins filled with apples, sweet potatoes, cabbage and carrots—all of them potent sources of vitamins. Plenty of grapefruit, oranges and tomato juice will help to replace the fresh tomatoes. But now for the menus! Two are dinners—one built around a fragrant, red-brown dish of Hungarian gou lash served with plenty of hot but tered noodles; the other, sausages baked under a covering of York shire pudding. The third meal is a hot soup luncheon.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for January 26 Lesson subjects nnd Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. CHRIST’S CONCERN FOR THE LOST LESSON TEXT—Luke 15:1-10. GOLDEN TEXT—The Son of man Is come lo seek and to save that which was lost.— Luke 19:10. Lost! What fear and disquietude grips our hearts when we hear that word! A little boy strays away into the forest, and the whole country side gives up its work to go and seek him. An airship fails to reach its destination, and hundreds of ships go to seek after it, while an entire nation waits in suspense. A ship is lost at sea, and the whole world grieves. But listen! It is only when ap plied to the spiritual life that the word “lost” finds its real depth of meaning. To be "without God in the world” (Eph. 2:12) and without hope—that is to really be lost. Yet parents who would not rest a mo ment while their child was physical ly lost go on without concern over his spiritual condition. Our Lord had no such unconcern. He was deeply moved over the lost condition of men; He came “to seek and to save that which was lost.” The two parables of our lesson teach us three truths. I. Lost and Lamented (vv. 1-4, 8). The publicans and sinners recog nized their need of a Saviour and He, knowing their lost condition, re ceived them, much to the disgust of the Pharisees and scribes who felt no need to be saved. They have their descendants in our churches today. The good shepherd cannot rest while one of the sheep is lost. Though “there were ninety and nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold,” he sought the lost one. His grief-stricken heart compelled him to go out into the night to find him. One wonders how we who profess to follow Christ, the Good Shepherd, can be so complacent about the lost. What if we do have the ninety and nine in church—where is ’ the lost one? Even if we do have a large Sunday School class—where are the boys and girls who are lost? Do our hearts grieve over them? If so, we will go and seek them. We who would quickly join the woman in seeking for her coin—will we join me Saviour in seeking the lost? 11. Sought by Sacrifice (vv. 4,8). The woman laid aside her usual duties and the pleasures of life to seek her coin. The shepherd left the warmth, the comfort, and the rest which he had earned to go out into the wilderness to seek his sheep. “But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through Ere He found His sheep that was lost.” Soul-winning calls for sacrifice. If the love of Christ constrains us, we will do it gladly, but if the self seeking, comfort-loving spirit of this age controls our lives, we will al ways find some excuse (not a rea son, but an excuse). 111. Restored With Rejoicing (vv. 5-7, 9, 10), The lost coin back in the owner’s hand brought joy to her and her neighbors. The shepherd calls in friends and neighbors to rejoice over the restored sheep. How intensely human th° f is, and how altogether appropriate. The great truth, however, is found in verses 7 and 10, where we learn that the repentance of one sinner sets even the bells of heaven ringing as the angels of God rejoice. How long is it, my Christian friend, since you caused such joy by yourself to be used of God in winning a soul? Yes, I know that it is God who seeks, but He uses human beings as His messen gers, as M is seekers. That is our first business after we ourselves have been saved. Our lesson will not be complete unless we consider the rest of the chapter—the parable of the prodigal son. In its main points it is like the other two parables, but there is this vital difference—the shepherd sought his sheep, the woman searched for her coin—the father did not seek the son; the son sought the father. Some prodigal, far from the house of his heavenly Father, may read these lines and say, “I wish some one would seek me out and bring me to God.” But, my friend, you need not wait for anyone. Do as the prodigal did—“arise and go” to God. He is waiting for you; His love has never faltered; He wants you to come now. Make His heart rejoice, and set the choirs of heaven singing, by coming to Him by faith—just now. As Ye Go, Preach And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give.—Mat- thew X, 7-8. IWWiW»WWtW*W»»W< Ask Me Another 0 A General Quiz The Questions 1.
