THE PROS"
A celebrated refugee from college
football tells why he thinks he's better
off both spiritually and financially
coaching a pro outfit than he ever was
on the college campus. His name: Jim
Conzelman, fabulous coach of the Chi
cago Cardinals. His 'reasons are both en
lightening and amusing, and he gives 'em
to you straight from,the shoulder in his
lively article entitled I'd Rather Coach
the Pros in today's issue of The Saturday
Evening Post. Still another reason why,
if you want to keep posted on the world
of sports, you can't afford to miss a

Between
The Lions
By ALLEN OSTAR
When the Nittany Lions go on a
trip, almost anything can happen.
Witness the Syracuse e xpedition.
Midway to the home of the
Orange, Coach Bob Higgins &cid_
ed that the time was ripe for the
"pause that refreshes." Guard
Steve Suhey, whose home is in
Cazenovia, N. Y., offered to direct
the bus driver to a "nice place."
'Pulling up before a s mall build
ing with a big sign, "Beer Sold
Here," the bus stopped. Before
anyone could alight, the "Hig"
noticed the sign and let out a roar.
The buses left the place in a cloud
of dust.
The Syracus e gam e marked the
first time that Suhey eve r • got into
Archbold Stadium legitimately.
A's a boy he used many devious
Means to s neak into the stadium.
Once he spent all evening digging
a hole under the fence.
Saturday morning. Center Og
gie Martella decided to take a
walk after breakfast. While he
was crossing a street a car round
ed the corner and bore down on
him.
Using hi s football training, Og
gie straight-armed the car and
skipped and weaved before it un
til it pinned him' against a build
ing. In th e brief skirmish, the
car's headlight was smashed as it
hit Oggie's hip. In his pocket his
steel eye-glass case wa s slightly
bent while the glasses remained
intact.
Ed McKeever, Cornell .football
coach, sat in the press box and as
h e watched' Joe Colone' s booming
punts, he remarked about the
1942 game between Cornell and
Penn Stat e which ended in a 0-0
deadlock. Colon e had teamed up
with Aldo Cenci in a similar
downpour to keep the "Big Red"
at bay the entire game.
