Be Brave, Daringl Fly and Swing Thursday at 4 The not-so-daring-young-lady-on- tbe-flying-trapeze probably has a good reason for being there. Is it because she wants to lose weight? Could be Is it because she wants to wake up dormant muscles? Maybe Would she be preparing for the Olympics? It's possible Probably, however, it is because she has enjoyed the tumbling and swinging exercises in her Sports class. Whatever the reason, every Thursday at 4 p.m. trapeze artists practice in the gymnasium, flying through the air with breathtaking ease, and agile acrobats twist and turn tortuously on the tumbling mats.

The Men in my life no longer consider me a chaining, intelligent creature. My father has removed my baby pictures from his wallet. My personality rating is lower than an earthworm's. The reason for this disgrace is simple. With touching feminine mod esty I recently admitted my inap- prcciation of the sacred sport, foot ball. Since then, I have heard unpaid, unsolicited, uninspiring, yet unfor gettable lectures on the All-Amer- can activity. Strange men approach me in the Union with patient but determined expressions on their faces. Then they proceed to unfold the intellectual aspects of the game. I had always believed that foot ball players (a) have to be in early on week-ends, (b) neither dance nor converse well, and (c) are not often compared with Einstein. Now I discover their intelligence is unsurpassed. Their intellectual reflexes are far faster than those of their scholarly friends. For example, picture the player pounding back behind the line for a forward pass. He has approxi mately two seconds to locate a re ceiver. While he is deciding whether to pass or run with the ball, a thousand pounds of determined men are ap proaching him at top speed with the sole intention of Getting That Ball. Will he, like the mathematics student, whip out his slide ride and compute the shortest distance be tween the ball and the receiver? Will he, like the scientist, wait patiently for reactions? Or perhaps, like the physics stu dent, will he calculate the wind velocity and energy needed to pro pel his object fonvard? Will he, like me, turn and run? No, the quarterback must be able to think and act simultaneously. Be ware, future Einsteins, of the intel lectual power of the athletic genius. I have also discovered that the running, jumping, and falling of these men is not adolescent clumsi ness. My father insists it is all pre meditated. It is fairly obvious that when men line tip face to face, and then run fonvard, they will bump into each other. The idea is to prevent the op posing forces from getting in the way of the men with the ball. With this accomplished, the game can proceed in an orderly fashion. All the quarterback has to do is step over the bodies and proceed to the goal post. The mastermind of the game is the quarterback. (This term does not imply any inferiority in the half or full back.) By the simple act of calling out a few numbers, he con trols the whole team. In future years, when Uncle Sam draws him to his khaki bosom, this knowledge of strategy will be partic ularly useful. The man who can avoid a tackle today can avoid K P duty tomorrow. Plans for football action are us ually graphic. A friend of mind re cently tried to explain an offensive play. He began to illustrate it with x's and o's. Since it looked exactly like tic- tac-toe, I also marked in a few x's and o's. The poor boy still can't understand how he got 37 on the field. I still don't understand foot ball diagrams. As you can see, there is more to the Qame than victory dances, chry santhemums, and homecomings. It is more fascinating and intricate than pinochle. Best of all, I, the spectator, can sit above the mud, admire the speed and stamina of the players, and play tic-tac-toc with the smug satisfac tion that I, too, am a football fan. Qroup Visits County Hospital Thirteen Home Economics stu dents toured Cook County hospital's Dietary department recently. In the group visiting the hospital were Elly Assim, Elaine Felice, Mary Lambrecht, Lorraine Jack son, Audrey Mezlo, Kay Lombardi, Patricia Modzikowski, Karlene Oe- ser, Mary Clare O'Connor. Also in the group were Marion Sandberg, Mary Gwen Williams, Cecilia Mei, and Sister Ursula, H.F.N.
