Catholic population was reported at 40,871 ,302, a year's increase of 1,356,827; when a million persons from all over the world attended the 37th International Eucharistic Congress in Munich, Gcrmany. .

Columnist Notes Class B· Films Are· ~ig Flops LOS ANGELES (NC) Six of seven recent major Hollywood movies rated "B" by the NationaI-' Legion of Decency are box office flops. Erskine Johnson, Los Angeles Mirror columnist, listed the six box :office failures as "Strangers When We Meet," "Beloved Infidel,'~ "Happy Anniversary," "From the Terrace," "Elmer Gantry" and "Desire in the Dust." Only "Psycho" is a financial success, Mr. Johnson reported. . A film rated "B". by the legion is one which it regards as morally objectionable in part for all.

LOS ANGELES (NC) James Francis Cardinal McIntyre has asked Catholics to offer special prayers for the world's persecuted, for Africa, for Latin America-and for the United States itself. "The flight from moral standards in our own United States has been so marked as to arouse serious comment and apprehension even amongst those who are indifferent to religious and divine sanctions," the Archbishop of Los Angeles said. Cardinal McIntyre called on Catholics in their prayers to make "a special appeal that in the internal life of our people of the United States there be a prompt resumption of the recognition of God's Providence over us and the realization of our consequent obligation to observe His law." "High moral standards have been accompanied in our history with abundant and divine blessings," the Cardinal emphasized. "Let us not be unmindful of this." Deploring evidence of the "flight from moral standards" in this country, the Cardinal cited narcotics and objectionable movies a8 major causes.

Primate of Poland Hits Materialism BERLIN (NC)-The Cardinal Primate of communist-ruled Poland has spoken out against enslavement of man by "any authority." Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski in an anti-materialistic sermon in Cracow focused on' the basic element that gives sense and meaning to man's existence on earth-the fact that he is a child of God. " "Everything should serve man; everything should be on its knees before man," he said. "Even such people adorned with priestly authority as the Pope at the Vatican and the bishop in his cathedral must genuflect to man as a sign of God's reverence for man, and kiss his feet. This is not only a beautiful ceremony: It is the great sermon of God to man." "Man, therefore, has primacy over matter. Man cannot become the slave of matter. He also cannot be the slave of another man or any authority, even if it h~s the right-as in civil life ~to call upon his services. It can demand services from man for the common ~ood, but it cannot make a slave of him."
Catholic Events ...., February, 1960 Yugoslavia's Alojzije Cardinal Stepinac, 60, bitter foe of communism, once imprisoned by Tito's Red regime, died in Krasic village where he was confined. Franziskus Cardinal Koenig, Archbishop of Vienna, was injured in an auto mishap en route to Cardinal Stepinac's funeral. In their first pastoral letter on the Church-State question since Gen. Rafael Trujillo came to power, the Dominican Republic Bishops stressed that human " rights are above those of the state and said the Church is ready to suffer in defense of those rights. Belleville's Bishop Albert R. Zuroweste, NCWC Press Department chairman, in his Catholic Press Month statement cited the papal admonitIOns that journalists should use their media as "weapons of truth." Cincinnati's Archbishop Kar1 J.' Alter, NCWC Administrative Board chairman, complained an injection of side issues has beclouded "specific problems involved" in the U. S. Bishops' statement (November, 1959) condemning artificial birth control. Mrs. Janos Pehm, 85, mother of Hungary's Jozsef Cardinal Mindszenty, died in the village of Csehi Mindszent. James Francis Cardinal McIntyre officiated at the blessing of Queen of Snows church, gave blessing to skiers and skaters at opening of Olympic Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif. Bishop' Francis J. Schenk of Crookston, Minn., was transferred to Duluth, Minn., and Auxiliary Bishop Lawrence A. Glenn of Duluth was named Bishop of Crookston. Bishop Ernest J. Primeau of Manchester, N.H., was consecrated in Chicago, and Trenton, N,J.'s first Auxiliary Bishop James J. Hogan, was consecrated there. Elise Briscoe, 21, a convert and daughter of Robert Briscoe, former Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin, joined the Carmelite nuns at a Dublin convent.

EXPLANATORY NOTES 1. Those who are not obliged to fast may eat meat several times a 'day. But if that day be a day of complete abstinence, they do not eat meat at all; if it be a day of partial abstinence they may eat meat oply at the principal meal. 2. Children under 7 are not obliged to fast nor to abst~. Parents, however, would do well to introduce them to the Church laws at an early age, even though there is no obligation to do this.
3. Those excused from fasting by reason of health or a dispensation granted by a confessor or pastor follow the rules of No.1 above. 4. The Most Reverend Bishop grants a dispensation from the law of fast and abstinence on Wednesday, Feb. 22, Washington's Birthday; on Friday, March 17, St. Patrick's Day; and on Monday, Oct. 31, the day before the Feast of All Saints.
Ecumenical Council to Begin After 1961 WASHINGTON (NC) - The ecumenical council called by Pope John probably will not begin before 1962, according to a U. S. theologian taking part in its planning. "Much preliminary work ·still remains to be completed" deIared Father Charles J. C'orcorC an, C.S.C., professor of dogmatic theology at Holy Cross College here. Father Corcoran recently returned from Rome, where he took part in consultations of the ecumenical council's commission for ~eligious.

Square Kick Poet Says Beats Going From Scene PORTLAND (NC) - The beat generation is no longer making the scene, according to a "beatnik poet" now on the square kick. Very soon "there will be talk about 'the good old days of the beats,'" said Brother Antoninus, who has been tagged a beatnik poet against his will. "It's a cross to bear" he stated. "1 never claimed t~ be a beat and I don't talk about beats when I lecture, but it's the only reason I'm asked to speak places." Brother Antoninus, who lectured at Marylhurst College and the University of Portland admitted in an interview th;t his "affinities were for the beat" b('~ause of his earlier Bohemian life. "I came from the ranks of the Bohemians," he said, "but I'm in a movment out of the beat to the world of the s,quare." He defined the world of the square as institutional, but added that this world in itself is not enough. "The synthesis between the institutional and the charismatic" (that's on the spiritual side) "is the ideal," he said. Church Ideal "That's why the Church is the ideal," Brother Antoninus continued. "You can find institutions all over and everybody seeks the charismatic. The Church is both-it has the mark of holiness." The Brother, who is a Dominican tertiary at St. Albert's College in Oakland, Calif., said the proper relationship is in not being "too square or too beat." "You have sterility on one hand and disorder on the other," he said. "The synthesis is the saint."

By Most Rev. Robert J. Dwyer, D.D. Bishop of Reno
It is customary in our Cathedral, and doubtless in many others throughout the world, for the Bishop to make a visit to the Crib before the Midnight Mass of Christmas. The church is darkened, with only the altar candles flickering and the spotlight playing Meridian of Time upon the manger scene. It is perfectly true that we 'Theatrical if you will, but cannot stop time, whether' at there is a sense in which Christmas or on any other day.
CHICAGO (NC)-Bishop A!fred F. Mendez, C.S.C., of the new Arecibo diocese in PuerliQ ,Rico is the first "alumnus", of the famous Paulist Choir here' to become a member of the hierarchy. A number of the choir "alumni" have become priests, Brothers, doctors, lawyers, newspapermen, politicians and industrialists. Bishop Mendez sang soprano in the choir when it was conducted by the late Father William J. Finn. Since Father Finn's death in 1928, the choir has been conducted by Father Eugene O'Malley, who also sang soprano in the choir as a boy. The 53-year-old Bishop was born in Chicago and was a member of the choir in the early 1920s. His grandfather, Jose Mendez, was the late Spanish Governor of Puerto Rico. Prior to his elevation to the Hierarchy, Bishop Mendez directed a nationwide campaign for three million dollars for the new Moreau Seminary at the University of Notre Dame.

NEW YORK (NC)-A leader in the Catholic interracial movement cited the elevation to cardina~ of Cardinal- designate Joseph E. Ritter of St. Louis as a morale booster for interracialism. "No act of our beloved Holy Father could afford greater encouragement to the cause of interracial justice." declared Father John LaFarge, S.J., a founder of the Catholic Interracial Council movement and a longtime leader in activity on behalf of racial justice. He said in a statement that from the time Archbishop Ritter was named Archbishop of St. Louis in 1946, he "made known his clear stand against any form of racial discrimination."

Fill It With Good!
Year of Our Lord Very often in official and other formal doduments, the date is printed. with the words "in the year of our Lord," It is strange that these dry-as-dust papers should be alone· in preserving a truth and a fact that should be a constant calendar reminder. In a few days it will be a new "year of our Lord." That has much significance. It means, for one thing, that all of time is reckoned from the central fact of time - the coming of the Savior of mankind. It m~ans, too, that each year is another year given to mankind by God to take advantage of the life and death and resurrection of His Son - to benefit from the fruits of the redemption. It means that every person of good will should live each day with an awareness of God, a consciousness that a life that is not lived under -His shadow does not make much sense - for the soul' came from the hand of God and at the moment of death will stand before God for an accounting. And, finally, the "year. of our Lord" means that men must enter this new year with a confidence in the providence of God and in His interest in His creatures whom He made out of nothing and whom He redeemed at the price of the Blood of His Son. Perhaps if any virtue is needed in the new year it is the virtue of hope - the trusting confidence in the will of God to help men.
The Church. Must Sell At the First Annual National Conference of Family Life directors held in St. Louis, Father John Thomas, S.J., nationally known expert on family life and a ,columnist for The Anchor, placed his finger on a pressing and disturbing ·problem. Many Catholics, according to Father Thomas, are beginning to wonder if the Church really has the answer .to the questions and problems that modern conditions cause· in family life. The root problem is, of course, that religion "has not been translated into meaningful and useful terms." Or that people have not been' interested enough in their own situa. tions to seek the answers. Human nature being what it is, people expect that ,anyone with anything say' will seek them out, will subject them to a "selling campaign," will go after their interest. And the Church has realized this too. That is why churchmen are going out into the market places, are setting up Family Life ,and counselling programs, are advertising what the Church has to offer.. That is ~h~ Catholics are being reminded constantly that the Church has something ~. to say and answers to give in about every phase of their life and development that touches upon happiness here and eternity hereafte~. Perhaps. this self-advertising may seem a lack of modesty from one point of view. But the Church kn·ows that she must entice people into helping themselves. And when it is a question of the family, then she must be all the more. zealous in showing men that she does have the help that they need to live out the marriage vocation. It may be, also, that churchmen have not been vociferous enough in calling attention to what the Church has to offer. In that case Catholics - both clerical and lay must be better informed about ·the Church's store of wisdom and more vocal in speaking about it. The Church must sell what it has. .

Nation of Softies' A Japanese educator recently told a group in Tokyo that if his country continued to follow the American way of life, they would become .as soft as Americans. _In a testing program of seven different categories, British young girls made better scores than American boys. Professor J. Bertram Kessel of Boston University's department of physical education and recreation put it this way: "To say that we are a nation of softies is a generaliza\ tion but not an exaggera.tion." The call has gone out for a better and more complex physical education program in school. But this calls for cooperation by the parents - letting children walk instead of driving them everywhere, gearing physical education to all children and not just to star athletes, participation by every member of the family. And this shocking lack of physical fitness calls for questioning in the realm of moral and spiritual fitness too. If there is indulgence on the physical level, it is reasonable ·to conclude that the character can also be affected.

In 1160 when Archbishop Theobold died, King Henry II insisted upon the consecration of Thomas as Archbishop of Canterbury. Thomas at first refused but eventually yielded and was consecrated. Protecting the right of the Church against encroachments of the state, he quarreled with the King and was banished to France. Upon his return in December, 1170, he was murdered in the Cathedral.

Your letter suggests that you know very few personally, They tend to be odd and eccentric as the average run of women-just look around you! Considering the large number of women appearing in shorts, slacks, and various odd outfits, I doubt whether we can reasonably accuse the sisters of making a spectacle .of themselves by. their "unnatural" dress; .Unless one is opposed to all distinctive uniforms, the sisters seem justi-/ fied in maintaining their traditional garb.. Although some of their uni,;, forms offer room for improvement-many have been or are being considerably modified I think an unbiased observer would have to admit that the appearanc.e of the average nun compares very well with her sister in secular garb. After all, the nun is out to catch neither a cold nor a mate; if she chooses to wear a little extra yardage, that should be up to her.'

Spiritual Significance Of course the real source ot your difficulty is your failure to understand the spiritual significance of the sisters' way of life. I can appreciate :\Jpur problem here because popular explanations of the religious life (the life of the vows) are often superficial and inadequate. Nuns, considered as such, are not odd or eccentric, though their way of life makes sense only when viewed within a supernatural frame of reference. Briefly, there are two degrees of morality set forth in the Gospels. . First, there are the precepts, the moral' laws, binding on all and offering a relatively wide margin of action for human freedom and choice, Second, in the counsels God invites some to a more perfect dedication of themseives in His service.

ST LOUIS (NC) - A priest's address on Church-State relations in the U. S. has been pub-> lished in 10 countries and in fiva languages. The address was delivered last August in Antwerp, Belgium, by Father Edward Duff, S.J., of St. Louis University's Institute of"Social Order. The Jesuit priest suggested that "a satisfactory theology of religious toleration" is needed, and that "American Catholics " are eager to see such a theology elaborated." Basic Faets He stated that theologians attempting such a task "will havtl a clear set of facts to start from: the uninterrupted and the consistent dleclarations of the American Hierarchy extolling, as fully satisfying the demands of Catholic teaching and as fruitful for religion, a regime in which responsibility for the growth of the Kingdom of God is left uniquely in the hands of His assigned agents, unassisted by Ceesar'. functionaries.." Publications that reprinted Father Duff's address included: Christian Order, London; Social Survey, Melbourne; Studies. DUblin; Streven, Amsterdam; Mensaje, Santiago; and StimmeD der Zeit, Munich. The address appeared also ill the November issue of Social Order, published here by the Jesuits' Institute of Social Order.

O'Mahony, London-born Irish actress who has pledged 45 per cent of her . salary from "Little Moon of Alban" to the Consolata Catholic Mission in Kenya. Miss O'Mahony, who enacts Julie Harris' mother in the James Costigan play, returned recently from a year's service with the nuns as a lay missioner. She has promised to rejoin the group for two years after the play completes its run. Her work in Nyeri, Kenya, was teaching English to Kikuyu girls, Miss O'Mahony explained. "The Bishop, the Sisters and everyone at the Consolata Mission are praying for the success of 'Little Moone,''' the actress said. "I send them whatever I can and they need money very badly to carry on their good works." Miss O'Mahony explained that she had gone to Africa "straight from Hollywood," where she had been doing movies and teleVision. "I had expected to stay there three years," she said. "The Bishop of the diocese gave me perm issioll to return to Broadway."

\. By Alice Bough Cahill Gather 'r-ound the hearth! There may be a hint of snow in the air, the wind whistles loud outdoors, but is there anything more heartwarming than a fireplace that invites you to relax, to be content, and to be warm? Builders and real estate people tell us abrupt break in the wall area that a fireplace sells a house of color. Hang your loveliest and' even though you have a picture on this brick wall, (be fireplace that is "dated" sure to use the proper screws there are clever ways of remodeling it. Or you may have a brand new house and feel there is something 18cking about your hearth. To make your fireplace as eye ':" appealing as it is heartwarming, maybe all you need is to analyze how you have arranged the paintings, plants, treasures, tools that surround it. Proper choice and arrangement of these things make your fireplace a worthy focal point in your room. Remember that the arrangement of furniture in front of the fire is an important consideration. Certainly you're not alone in wanting to toast your toes by the flames. It's up to you to plan on comfortable seating for four. or six within warming distance of the snapping logs. Ask yourself, "Do the chail's, stools and tables around my fireplace make it inviting?" Fireside furniture should speak of eomfort and relaxation. Old Fireplace Consider yourself fortunate If yours is an old, old house with a big, walk-in fireplace. Carrying out the countrified atmosphere that such a fireplace suggests, you might place a mantel clock at one end of the mantel and line up a set of pewter , ~easures or brass candlesticke at the opposite end. Many times it's smarter to ;roup accessories than to divide equally, like one candlestick each end of the mantel. . Strive for originalit'y., This is the kind of fireplace where you can display lovely old heirlooms, were you can hang a decorated bellows, or a copper warming pan, or family sil'houettes. Place a couple of wide, old fashioned chairs and a brai~ rug . beside the :fireplace. Fireside chairs needn't matclt. (you might . have a Boston rocker on one side and a wing chair on the other) if they are about the same size. When you pair up chairs of this 80rt you give the grouping balance without letting it become both stiff and monotonous. In a' house with a red brick !fireplace, ,running up to ,the Ceiling, 'you may £eel that it dominates the' room, clashes· " ~Hh ,walls, and, because there is nO mantel shelf,' it seems, in· ,short, as if the only thing in the ~m is, fireplace.. , " . ..'

for brick) and use bracket shelves on either side of your picture. Green vines trailing gracefully from wall ,brackets will help soften the brick wall of the fireplace itself. Here again, we feel unmatched chairs will lend interest to the fireside arrangement. Make sure that these ehairs are wide and deep, the sort you'd like to settle down in beside a blazing fire. Formal Room ,For a small, formal l'OOm with marble fireplace you might use a matching pair al. ehairs beside lamp tables on either side of your fireplace and a low coffee table directlv in front of the hear-tho Really, the kind of fireplace you have determines the treatment you should give it. A fireplace of mellow old brick surrounded by fine carving and a high traditional mantel shelf demands traditional treatment. Don't detract from the architectural beauty of the fireplace itself by over-decorating it. You might ,use a family portrait, narrow brass candle sconces and a bowl with trailing vines that go across the mantel. In a contemporary, split level home, with a severely plain fireplace, faced with Roman bricks, , the proper type of wood paneling above the brick may be, aU you need. You can then arrange . wall decoration act the side of the fireplace, such as long wall planter and a contemporary pietur-e or placque, and the proper fire tools. Give some thought to fireplace accessories. A fireplace screen is a must. You can have a folding one, or a wire mesh screen that fits close to the opening. A hood with a flexible' fireplace curtain screen adds to the smart lines .of any fireplace. Then there's III hinged fire screen that opens out at the top so you can throw another log on the fire without moving the screen. You can get a wood ,basket, andirons and fire tools in any design you wish, from provincial to modernistic, in keeping with your general decorating theme.

ST. LOUIS (NC) - Cardinaldesignate Joseph E. Ritter acknowledged here that the i947 desegregation of Catholic schools was one of the most difficult problems he has faced. The Archbishop of St. Louis told a press conference the difficulty was not because of the civil rights question, but because of the danger of splitting the people in the archdiocese on the issue. The actual decision, he said, was "merely a routine one." "You meet conditions every-' day, and you have to make decisions," he said in response to newsmen's questions. Cbureh ·Problem "But remember that that wasn't present~ as a race problem, or II rights problem, when I made my deci$ion. It was presented as a Church problem.' The prelate's order to desegregate Catholic schools in this archdiocese is generally credited with paving the way for successful integration of public schools here in 1955, one year after the Supreme Court's order for desegregation in tax - supported IChools.

Perhaps therefore the priests in the United State. would like to hear some reflections about our brother priests in Africa, after first hand contact with them. 1) Whenever they gather socially their unfailing topic of conversation is evangelization: where 1lhey opened a new mission; how many new eatechumens they found to instruct; how" their methods of c0l1;version could be improved; how they increased daily oomulUnions; how many new branche. of the Legion of Mary were begun ia their .mission.; how prepared they'must be to live six months isolated .in the "bush." To' be with them is to share an apostolic frenzy; they are' all disciples of Emmaus - their hearts burning with zeal in • veritable African Pentecost. 2) Many of them hear oonfessions aD. day Saturday - so many are the Faithful woo desire to receive Communion on Sunday. On SUnday the7 may baptize all maIl7 M 150 at one time. 3) They are without any creature comforts, nor do they want any. But all through Africa there is only one cry, "Give us more priests." One priest in a "reserve" where 50,000 Africans are crowded together in infra-human squalor .has 200 under instruction. He said he could convert 40,000 of. them if he had seven brother priests and eight more chapels even though there might be Gnl7 a tin roof or a floor that was a mixture of mud and oow dung.

Sen. John F. Kennedy became first Catholic to be elected President of U.S. The U.S. Bishops in their annual statement said a breakdown in personal responsibility stemmed from a decline in religious convictions. Cincinnati's Archbishop Karl J. Alter was re-elected chairman of the NCWC Administrative Board. The Bishops' Committee on Motion Pictures, Radio and Television charged "bold departures" from decency in movie-making, called for an "unmistakable national protest." Pope John offered a Mass for world peace on his 79th birthday. On the same day a son, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was born to the President-elect and Mrs. Kennedy in Washington. Archbishop Francois Poirier, Primate of Haiti, was expelled by that country, journeyed to the U.S., then to Paris. The Pope named Msgrs. Aloysius J. Wycislo, former CRS-NCWC assistant executive director, and Cletus F. O'Donnell, Chicago pastor, to be Auxiliary Bishops of Chicago. De a t h claimed: Auxiliary Bishop John M. McNamara, 82, of Washington; Msgr. John F. Galvin, 91, founder of the Evangelist, Albany diocesan newspaper, in Rensselaer, N.Y.; Judge Leo A. Rover, 72, nationally known lawyer, in Washington. Mrs. Arthur L. Zepf of Toledo, Ohio, was elected president at the 30th National Council of Catholic Women's convention in Las Vegas, Nev. Other conventions: 8th national conference on Catholic Youth Work, Miami Beach, Fla.; 55th Cat hoI i c Church Extension Society meeting, Chicago; and 71st homecoming of Catholic University of America alumni, Washington. Father Clarence D. White, St. Louis, was named an assistant general secretary of the NCWC. CRS-NCWC reported it carried on a $121 million relief program in 64 countries last year, also reported U.S. Catholics contributed generously to the 12th ann u a I Thanksgiving Clothing Campaign to aid the world's needy. Despite opposition by the Catholic Bishops, Gov. Luis Munoz Marin's party won a landslide victory in the Puerto Rican elEictions, which wrecked the Catholic-backed Christian Action Party as an islandwide organization. Archbishop Davis of San Juan denied Catholics would be denied the sacraments for supporting the Munoz Marin party. England's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Home, were received in audience by Pope John. '
Episcopal Moderator. WASHINGTON (NC)-AuxilJary Bishop Leo R. Smith of Buflalo, N. Y. has been appointed episcopal moderator of the Apostleship of the Sea in the United States, it was announced at the NCWC headquarters here. Bishop Smith succeeds Auxiliary Bishop L. Abel Caillouet of New Orleans in this office.

MONTEVIDEO (NC)-Catholie industrialists in Latin America have urged the establishment of employers' associations in every country to help spread Christian social practices. Industrialists from five nations met near here for the first Latin American' congress of the International Union of' Catholic Employers Associations. They also discussed ways of promoting cooperation among the world's Christian employers. Speakers pointed out that basic principles for achievement of a just distribution of wealth are contained in the Church's social teachings. They urged Christian industrialists in Latin America to study, apply and spread the
Church's social teachings. To promote economic development and social justice they should cooperate with the International Union of Catholic Employers Associations, the speakers said. Seventy Uruguayan delegates attended, along with 18 each from Chile and Argentina. There was one delegate from Bolivia and one from Mexico.

souri team in ! "~'l j ; / / , the Orange i\ ''''',;~ Bowl, will no 1t: . doubt have a ' large Massachu\ setts following. Five of the Middies, including the incomparable Joe Bellino, hail from the Bay State. The Watertown High grid squad has been rewarded with a trip to Miami for the game where several team members will renew acquaintances with Ron Testa, Navy's sophomore tackle and a large Winchester delegation will be on hand to root for Bellino and end Frank Dattilo. Keep an eye on Waltham's Sid Driscoll who will start for the Middies. Also in Florida's Winter sports mecca this week are the Crusaders of Holy Cross who met the University of Tennessee yesterday in the opener of the Hurricane Tournament. The host school, the University of Miami, and the Army round out the tourney competition which will be staged in the spacious Miami Beach Convention Hall. In another mid-week meeting of the collegiate hoop elite it was St. John's of Brooklyn vs. the Friars of Providence College. Both entered the Tuesday contest undefeated. The make-up for the eight team E.C.A.C. Holiday Basketball Festival is the most imposing in the event's nine year history. Pre-tourney favorite are the Buckeyes of Ohio State, 1960 N.C.A.A. champions.

indicate. Boston College, the No. 2 ranked Eastern team and powerful Harvard University are not entered. That championship pro game on Monday was a real thriller. Both clubs employed a smashing ground attack and it was refreshing-to this agent, at least-to see the pros return to this phase of the game. There has been such emphasis on passing in professional circles that the game has come to resemble a round ball contest with cleats. Ground Game The contention 'has been, of course, that, the defense is so big and so mobile in play-for-, pay that the ground approach may only be effectively used as a change of pace. The Green Bay Packers under the astute guidance of Vince Lombardi and his staff made capital of the running talents of such fine backs as Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor, and Tom Moore to explode this theory. Giving these. boys the opportunity to go was a solid offensive line that blocked with telling effectiveness. The slippery going was perhaps the major factor in the Packers' downfall. That plus the fact that quarterback Bart Starr couldn't throw long with accuracy. The Eagles' old pros, Norm Van Brocklin and Chuck Bed- . narik were tremendous, and the running of Bill Barnes, whom we remember as an outstanding back 'at Wake Forest, was equally outstanding. The most electrifying play we've seen in years was the Packers' fake punt which end Mac Magee pulled off to perfection. The only thing that left something to be desired was the commentary on the game. The statement that the two minute warning was given to advise coaches that a different set of rules governed olay was totally erroneous. And we also detected a definite lilt to the announcer's voice when the Eagles moved well. The gentleman involved had previously gone on record to predict a Philadelphia victory. The local element went out of the game early when former Boston College back 'Dick Lucas sustained a knee injury late in the first period. Fortunately, it was only a bruise and not a cartilage or ligament as was first feared. The other Eagle, Boston College that is, saw limited action for the Packers. He is burly John Miller, an All-East choice while at the Heights. Happy New Year all!
