HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1949-11-17, Page 8Dream House For Stranded Arctic Airmen—The pneumatic Quonset hut above, made of cotton
fabric coated with a low-temperature neoprene compound to withstand extreme cold, is expected
to help save the lives of airmen forced down in the Arctic. The hut is draftproof, snowproof,
waterproof, compact and easy to carry. It houses four men comfortably and can withstand 100 -
mile -an -hour gales. It is bright orange in color, making it easy to spot from the air. A 10 -foot -
long air duct on the sidewall and a four -foot canvas, igloo -like entrance keep out icy blasts; but
allow for ventilation.
°'A good name," according to
Solomon, at least we hope it was
Solomon, "is rather to be chosen
than great riches." And in the
sports dodge it is of the utmost im-
portance, as there a good name—
of at least a tag which takes the
public fancy—often leads to wide-
spread fame and even great riches.
* * *
Men like Jack Dempsey, Ty
Cobb, Babe Ruth, Joe Louis and
Louis Angel Firpo had, of course, a
certain amount of athletic talent
and ability; even though, in the
ease of the last mentioned, it was
mostly ability to take it. But in
spite of that, the sports cobblers
who tagged them "The Manassa
Mauler," "The Georgia Peach,"
"The Bambino," "The Brown
Bomber," and "The Wild Bull of
the Pampas," assuredly helped no
little in planting them firmly in the
public esteem.
* * *
One of the most famous of these
nicknames—one that is still well
remembered, even after a quarter of
a century has passed—was bestowed
by one of the best of all sports
writers, not on a single athlete, but
on a quartet of them. Just about
the time a certain United. States
college football team, and especially
its four -man backfield, was making
the sports headlines, a novel en-
titled "The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" was sweeping the
eonntry. (Reviewers of that day
said it was "one of the greatest
morels of all time," "A book that
would live forever," and the like.
We wonder if anybody ever reads
it now).
* * *
Anyway, the eminent Mr. Grant -
6110
land Rice saw an opportunity and
grasped it. He dubbed the afore-
mentioned quartet "The Four
Horsemen of Notre Dame," and the
name caught on big. And when
the late Knute Rockne, then coach
of the team, had the four of them
photographed astride four huge
draft horses, practically every paper
south of the border, and a good
percentage on this side as well,
published the picture, and Notre
Dame became the best known team
in football.
* * *
Even most of those who vividly
remember "The Four Horsemen"
as a unit have probably forgotten
the names of those who composed
it They were Elmer Leyden, full-
back and almost unstoppable when
hegot into full stride; Harry
Stuhldreher, clever quarterback, and
passing genius; Sleepy Jim Crowley
and Don Miller, halves.
* +n *
And here's the thing that makes
this foursome worth thinking
about in these days when football,
both here and in the United States,
seems to be running so largely to
beef and brawn in wholesale quan-
tities. Those four, who highlighted
a team which lost only two games
in three full seasons, pulled down
the scales—when at their best—for
a grand total of only 638 pounds.
That's right. Leyden, the heaviest
of the four, weighed 162; Stuhlds-e-
her, 156; while Crowley and Miller
balanced the beam at 160 each. As
Arthur Daley recently pungently
remarked, nowadays a high school
coach would hardly give any one
of them more than a passing glance.
There should be some food for
'Witch Weigh --Four hundred years ago this scale at the little
town of ()tidewater, holland, was used for weighing suspectei,
witches. If the suspect weighed less than normal ("light enough
to travel on a broomstick") she was accused of witchcraft and
tortured to death. IT her weight was normal, she got a 'certif•
cite statin "T alt not a witch." The old scale has been pre
served intact for tourists to see..
1
thought in this on the part of a lot
of our high school football coaches
—and some of those in the upper
brackets, too. Lri recent years, Ca-
nadian football has so slavishly fol-
lowed American trends that now
it's almost impossible to recognize
what was once, for our money, the
best and most thrilling of all games
to watch. * * *
Why, just the other Saturday
when Bert Haigh, of Ottawa, cut
loose the lengthy punt which finally
ruined Argonauts' play-off chances,
spectators and sports writers alike
spoke. as though it were something
phenomenal.
* * *
It was a good punt, all right,
long, well placed, and coming at
the exact moment when it would
do the most good—or harrti de-
pending on who you were rooting
for. But to those who recall hoot-
ers of the calibre of Gordon South-
am, Hughie Gall and a whole lot
more we might mention, it was the
kind of punt you expected to see
several tinges J ernot just
P game,
once or twice a season.
* * *
But what can you expect? Dur-
ing the past couple of nlonthsk, we
have noticed at least 200 k14S . of
from 12 to 17 practising, on Val us
corner 1 dalM,.
ori eT lots and vacant fie ; Rhe
recondite art of heaving and ei2 ;p-
ing forward passes. During
sameeriod we have seen 'u n
P J v a.,1;,4_ e
youth practising punting A„
was doing it all alone, with-'
even to shag his punts, let a - n
return them.
* * *
So why not let's go the whole •
distance and make booting the;>all
—except on third down and in5de
your own 10 -yard line—strictly,'i1-
legal. And at the same time, it
might be an idea to pass a law
whereby any youth who scales less
than, say 185, on reaching his 17th
birthday, would be told to turn in
his pads and go play lawn tennis?
Why the Door Has
No Handle
Best known painting by the fa-
mous English artist, Holman Hunt,
is "The Light of the World," which
shows Christ standing in a garden
at midnight.
He is holding a lantern in His
left han and His right hand is
knocking on a heavily -panelled door.
An art critic who was present
when the picture was unveiled ap-
proached Hunt and said: "Excuse
me, Mr. Hunt, but surely you
haven't finished the picture? That
door has no handle."
"That is the door to the human
heart," Hunt replied. "It can be
opened only from the inside."

The savage 'African tribe of
Ubangis have a habit of stretching
the lips of their women around
circular wooden discs until finally
they become aibout eight inches in
size, sticking right out from their
faces like two plates.
One very hot day two Ubangi
girls met in the jungle. One of
them stuck her face close to that
of the other, and rapidly repeated:
"Peter Piper picked a peck of
pickled peppers! Now, you fan ine
