FOOTBALL

by Janet Spencer  On November 23, 1919, the first play-byplay football game in radio broadcast history took place when Texas A & M beat the University of Texas 7 to 0. In honor of this, join Tidbits as we play football! • In a 1897 football game, Georgia was playing the University of Virginia. During a pile-up, a player named Von Gammon ended up on the bottom and was found unconscious. He died of a brain concussion. As a result, the Georgia team disbanded. Protests against the brutality of football spread. A bill was introduced to the Georgia state legislature to ban football from the state. It passed and was sent to the governor for his signature. It looked like football was doomed. But then a woman came forward. She wrote a letter to the governor, pleading with him not to use Von Gammon’s death as an excuse to outlaw a good game. Because of this letter, the Governor refused to sign the bill into law. Football was saved. The woman who had written such an effective letter was Von Gammon’s own mother. • In 1905 there were 18 football deaths in the nation. The violence of the game diminished somewhat when the forward pass was invented, cutting down on the confrontations. (Cont’d next page)

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• When the Nomads were up against Knute Rockne’s Notre Dame, Rockne could not understand why so many of his players were suddenly breaking their ribs. Player after player was hauled out of the game on a stretcher and the team doctor admitted that perfectly normal ribs were breaking like kite sticks. Rockne got suspicious and found that the Nomads were wearing steel knee braces. Rockne hit the roof while the Nomad coach feigned ignorance. “Guess they didn’t want to hurt their knees,” he said. From then on a new rule was on the books that made it illegal for any player to wear steel knee braces. • On October 7, 1916, the powerful Georgia Tech team invited little Cumberland College to play on Tech’s field. Cumberland did not have a regular team, but they rounded up some guys. The game didn’t go well for Cumberland, and later fullback A.L. Macdonald recalled making “our longest gain of the day when I lost 5 yards.” One Cumberland player is said to have fumbled the ball and yelled at a teammate to pick it up. But with five big Georgia Tech guys bearing down on him, he yelled back, “You pick it up! You dropped it!” The game was called in the third quarter and the final score was Georgia Tech 222, Cumberland 0. • Quarterback Harry Adams was playing for Montana in a game against Washington State in 1920. He had a badly injured ankle but insisted on playing anyway. When a punt went over his head, he limped along to retrieve it, but by the time he picked it up he was flanked by two very large Washington ends who were running at him full tilt getting ready to tackle him. “Don’t hit him, he’s hurt!” yelled one of the ends. At that point both players very carefully picked Adams up and gently laid him on his back on the field. (Cont'd next page)

• During a game between Clemson & Mercer, a referee turned to Clemson’s halfback, Streak Lawton, and said: “Streak, this is the last game of the season and you have just 60 seconds left to make history.” On the next play, Mercer punted, and Lawton returned the punt 90 yards for a touchdown. As he walked past the referee, Lawton was heard to ask, “What are the other 40 seconds for?” • Coach Fielding Yost was giving his team an intense pep-talk during half time, whipping the team into a fury. “All right men!” he hollered. “Follow me to victory!” He yanked open a door to the locker room and ran out. But he had pulled open the wrong door. He plunged headfirst into the swimming pool, followed by the entire team. In their heavy football gear, several of the players nearly drowned before they were pulled out. • Joe Namath was listening to a lecture by coach Bear Bryant, who was goading them to do well in their college classes because there was more to life than football and he didn’t want any dumbbells on his team. “If there is a dumbbell in the room, I wish he would stand up,” Bear said. Namath immediately stood up. “How come you’re standing up? You ain’t dumb,” asked Bear. “Coach,” replied Namath, “I just hate like the devil for you to be standing up there by yourself.” • Coach Knute Rockne would often drill his players by setting up imaginary situations and grilling them about what they would do next if caught in such a position. One day he said, “It’s our ball, fourth quarter, we’re behind by three points, ball on our 45-yard line, fourth down, three to go— what do you do?” He asked a third-string quarterback. “Well, Mr. Rockne,” replied the bench-warmer, “I’d slide a few yards down on the bench to get a better look at the next play.”

Senior News Line

-- The Mediterranean diet has been in the news for years, but some of us aren’t sure if it offers any real benefits. Now we have a piece of the puzzle. In a recent study supported by the National Institutes of Health, participants experienced less brain atrophy after adhering to that type of diet, resulting in loss of fewer brain cells and maintaining cognition. The Mediterranean-type diet (called MeDi in researcher parlance), consists of low intake of dairy, poultry, meat and alcohol, and higher intake of fruit, fish, cereal, vegetables and fats that are monounsaturated (such as olive oil). A few specifics: Eating less meat resulted in larger total brain volume. Eating more fish was associated with greater cortical thickness. Based on these, researchers concluded that even these two diet adjustments had a positive benefit as part of the Mediterranean diet. The difference in two groups (those who adhered to a Mediterranean diet versus those who didn’t) was the same as aging five years. The average brain volume was 13 percent larger, which is significant. This isn’t the first time the benefits to the brain have been studied. In 2010, a similar study concluded that the Mediterranean diet can help avoid damage to the parts of the brain that deal with thinking and memory. Those who adhered to the diet were 36 percent less likely to have damage. Those who generally stuck to the diet were 21 percent less likely. Ask your medical provider whether you should add these types of foods to your diet and stay away from the more harmful ones. For more information, search online for “Mediterranean diet,” and look for sites by the Mayo Clinic, the American Heart Association and WebMD as places to start.

Noteworthy Inventions

ETCH A SKETCH

• In 1959 a 37-year-old man named Arthur Granjean invented what he called “L’Ecran Magique” (“magic screen”) in his garage in Paris. He took it to the International Toy Fair in Nuremburg, Germany. The Ohio Art Company bought the rights to it in 1960 for $25,000 and renamed it the Etch A Sketch. They advertised it widely in time for the Christmas season in 1960 and sales immediately took off. They’ve sold over 100 million since then. • How does it work? There’s a stylus, or pointer, mounted on two rails. Using a system of wires and pulleys, one rail moves back and forth, and the other moves up and down when the knobs turn. The gray stuff is powdered aluminum mixed with tiny plastic beads. The beads help the powder flow easily. The aluminum powder sticks to the glass because of static electricity. When the stylus moves, it touches the glass and scrapes the aluminum powder off. Shake it, and the aluminum is redistributed evenly.

• The basic design hasn’t changed a bit since 1960, although variations on the model have been introduced. Now there are pocket-sized models, travel size models, glow-in-the-dark models (only the frame glows), and also noisy models. The Zooper model makes all kinds of weird noises - beeps, boops, squeaks, and squawks - as the knobs turn. Also available is the Etch A Sketch “action pack” which offers various puzzles and games printed on overlays placed on top of the screen. • To celebrate the toy’s 25th anniversary in 1985, the Ohio Art Company came out with an “Executive” model made of silver with drawing knobs set with sapphires and topaz and a hand-carved logo at the top. Price: $3,750. • Today it’s estimated that 8,000 Etch A Sketches are sold every day. In 2000 the Ohio Art Company moved the Etch A Sketch factory to China. • Steve Jacobs created the world’s largest Etch A Sketch at the Black Rock Arts Festival in California in 1997. He placed 144 regulationsized Etch A Sketches in a huge square and surrounded them with a huge red Etch A Sketch frame, including huge white knobs. It qualified him for a Guinness World Record. • A Canadian computer programmer named Neil Fraser pulled the knobs off a standard Etch A Sketch and hooked it up to two motors which attached to the port of his computer. The motors work by remote control, enabling Fraser to draw without ever touching the toy. Robotic components are also able to tilt the Etch A Sketch upside-down and shake it. • George Vlosich creates works of art using the Etch A Sketch as an artistic medium. He was a nine-year-old kid in 1989 when, on a long drive, he brought along his Etch A Sketch for backseat entertainment. A sketch he drew was so good his parents took a picture of it. An artist was born. Because one of his main interests was sports, he began sketching portraits of sports heroes. Then he waited after games hoping to get them to autograph his Etch A Sketch. His reputation as the “Etch A Sketch Kid” grew quickly. It takes George between 40 and 60 hours to complete a single Etch A Sketch masterpiece. After it’s done, he carefully unscrews the back and removes the excess aluminum powder to preserve the picture forever. Today George is known far and wide for his artwork and has appeared countless times on radio, TV, in newspapers, and magazines. His Etch A Sketch artwork sells for up to $10,000.

Somewhere in Iowa

My husband and I purchased an old farm home in Northern Iowa from two elderly sisters. Winter was fast approaching and the years first snow came early and I was concerned about the house's lack of insulation. "If they could live here all those years, so can we!" my husband confidently declared. One November night the temperature plunged to below zero, and we woke up to find interior walls covered with frost. My husband called the sisters to ask how they had kept the house warm. After a rather brief conversation, he hung up. "For the past 30 years," he muttered, "they've gone to Florida for the winter."

* Love oranges? Save the peels to add to your potpourri mix. Remove as much of the pith as possible, and cut into strips. Air dry in bright light for about a week. Or you can set the strips on parchment and dry in a partially closed oven set to 175 F for about 45 minutes. Check often.

* Three ways to use an empty tissue box: 1) store plastic grocery bags inside; 2) line with a small plastic trash bag and use in your car as a travel trash can; 3) cut out the bottom and use it to disguise an extra toilet tissue roll in your guest bath! * “When the last serving of jam has been used, I will happily add some oil and vinegar to the jar, along with a few choice spices, then shake. It’s an instant vinaigrette, with a fruity tang.” -- C.L. in Tennessee * Keep your jeans or other denim items from fading by soaking them in a solution of cold water and salt (two tablespoons to a gallon) for about an hour before washing.

WORD ORIGINS

• In the early days of the 1800s, trade was just beginning to open up between Japan and America. Most American trade ships docked in the port of Yokohama. The city had one main street that was well-policed at night, and it was called Honcho-dori Street. It was the only safe thoroughfare in town; sailors caught in the city after dark trying to return to their ship through twisting alleys and convoluted byways were far more likely to be robbed, beaten and murdered. Therefore men being granted shore leave were warned never to wander through Yokohama at night, and to stick to the main route of Honcho-dori street, where they could be assured that everything would be “hunky-dori” which is how the phrase came into English.

• The French “hoche” means “a shaking.” Add that to the word “pot” and you have “a shaking together in a pot.” “Hotch-pot” became the word for a stew and led to our “hodgepodge” meaning a jumbled assortment.

• In Middle English “habben” meant to have; and “ne habben” meant to have not. “Habben, ne habben” was eventually abbreviated to “hobnob.”

• In Massachusetts in 1812, Governor Elbridge Gerry pressured the legislature to re-district the state to insure his victory in the next election. A team of men re-drew the voting boundaries to include any pockets they could find of Elbridge supporters. One voting district in Essex County looked like a dragon. Someone looking at a map of the new district mentioned that it looked like a salamander. A bystander said a better name would be Gerrymander, after the Governor. And that’s how “gerrymander” came to mean tampering with something to make it advantageous to yourself. • Edward I of England invaded Scotland in 1296. In every town that was overtaken, he would force the local politicians to sign a document pledging support to the King. The generic term for any official document written on a scroll was “ragman roll.” Officials made public readings of the long boring ragman rolls, where people got tired of listening to what we now call “rigamarole.” • During the days of knights in shining armor, a “buckler” was a small shield used to defend oneself from the blows of an adversary’s sword. “Swash” meant the same thing as the word “swish” today: the sound that a sword cutting through the air might make. Therefore a “swashbuckler” was a man who made a great show of fencing, by swashing his sword and striking his opponent’s buckler. • In John Milton’s poem “Paradise Lost” written in 1667, the city of Pandemonium is the capital of hell. Pandemonium is coined from the terms “pan” meaning “all” and “daimon” meaning demons: the city of All Demons. • “Lady Gunhilda” was the name bestowed upon a large catapult that protected Windsor Castle in 14th century England. Eventually the weapon’s name was shortened to “Lady Gun” and then to simply “Gun” which then became a word that denoted any catapult, or any weapon that would hurl things such as bullets: a gun. • What does a catacomb have to do with a cat or a comb? Nothing. The word is from the Greek “kata” meaning down, and “kumbe” meaning hollow. • The Latin word “supra” means over and “saltus” means jump. “Suprasaltus” passed through Spanish, French and Old English before becoming our somersault.
