Basic the idea from Herb Goren, Cecil IsbeU, one of ablest passers, left the Green Bay Packers last fall to become assistant coach at most observers figured that Purdue, his old battery mate, End Don Hutson, would spend much of his future playing time merely attempting to snare those long tosses. But Hutson proved the weakness of the old argument that a receiver is only as good as his passer. The combination was probably the greatest in football history, but Hutson managed to do right well without Isbell. When Hutson's name was entered on the official books of the National Football league as 1943 champion, it was the third rnn. secutive year he had won that honor. And it was the sixth time in nine years of professional ball. It's hard to believe, but during those years he scored touchdowns on 21.6 per cent of the passes he caught one touchdown on every five catches.

It is Hogan's idea that the $50,000 purses will come from businesses interested in national advertising. But we're a little skeptical when he states that the trend will be away from the carnival atmosphere now surrounding many of the major tournaments. Obviously advertisers want to invest their money in events which will give them the greatest return for each dollar spent. If they think the addition of a few circus trappings will increase interest in the event being promoted, then those trappings might as well be taken for granted. "Practically all of the name players who carry the professional game and make the tournaments," Hogan said, "have no appetite for the wild hurdy-gurd- y tournament and they won't play in them if there is money to be made at other places. The kind of tournament they love is the Masters, which Bobby Jones started at Augusta, Ga. It was run with the restraint that golf has to have to be perfect. Even the people who came out to watch the matches understood and appreciated the game." All of which is very true. But endon't forget the between-halve- s tertainment offered at football games and the extra inducements offered by theaters. Those "extras" are to build and hold interest. Most golf fans would like to see the razzle-dazzl- e eliminated in tournaments. But that isn't necessarily true of the public in general. Crowds want color and if it is lacking in golf tournaments it will be found somewhere else. dyed-in-the-wo- ol SPORTS SHORTS C The athletic program at the Great mVAKrt or the rumr that I Lakes Naval Training station is the 100 r,!, f omPetitive sport is just most extensive in the country, his ft Mel Harder is approachingof the 17th season as a member Cleveland Indians, Prolfm tdl you this-- the only one picft According to visitors, was worked out In mi of Luis Anhome in the ture hangs That's in right Argentina. enlco,uraged competitive Firpo gel k Sebal!' basketball, track nd flDW it shows Jack Dempsey hurtling the ropes of the Polo fonn of VSWlmmin8 and every other through L with Grounds navv lCt'tiVe Sport' of Sogramf 3 Released by Western Newspaper Union. foot-ball- 's Isbell-IIutso- n o, BehindM Dy PaulJallqh HERBERT HOOVER AND POLITICAL HISTORY TO ME the dominant character it America, the man whom I, personally, should most like to see as President of the United States, il Herbert Hoover.

No doubt our government also will seek "full employment at all costs" with equal ardor.

The groove in which all this conservative and liberal thinking is going is the one we dug for ourselves in the last depression the line that everything which happened in the previous thousands of years of the world was wrong, that this is the age of the liberation of man in which economic formulas are the solution to all problems, that the former natural laws of both God and Nature are henceforth to be repealed by what the economists call "the supremacy of economic man." THEY ALL FAILED This is strange in view of our recent experiences with economic formulas. Not one has worked among the many we tried in the last 14 years the gold buying policy to raise prices, the granary to provide eternally balanced food production; the public works expenditures, deficit financing, the Keynes plan, the shorter work week all to restore full employment, but they did not do so. Some of these steps proved politically popular temporarily, but did not achieve their economic purposes. As economic formulas, they did not do the job.

His place in America today is thai of an influential citizen; to me, the outstanding elder statesman. With . that statement as an introduction, I will recount some bits of politica! history in which Mr. Hoover figured and as I saw them in the making. In the 1932 campaign, Mr. Hoovei knew long before the votes were counted that he was beaten. Mucfc against his personal wishes, he took to the stump in an effort to softer the blow as much as possible. Members of the Republican "old guard" in charge of that campaign were even less than disinterested in Hoover's election. They were devoting their efforts to their own cause, and several of them were not successful. Four years later, at the Cleveland convention, I spent a portion of an afternoon reading an address Herbert Hoover was to deliver before the convention that evening. Aftei reading it, I said to him: "You do not want the nomination to be made by this convention bul you will have it if you do not leave the platform and the building immediately after the completion oi your address this evening." He did not agree with my state- -' ment as to the effect of the address on the delegates, but he did leave the platform and the building the instant the last word of that address was spoken. The demonstration thai followed was a tremendous ovation. Competent political experts assured me that had he remained and so inspired the continuance of that ovation, he would undoubtedly have been the nominee. Again, four years after Cleveland, at Philadelphia, Hoover was to, and did, address the convention. An element, with a favorite candidate, remembered the Cleveland incident. They knew it was not the way Hoover said things, but what he said that swayed his audience. They were taking no chances on the effect on that audience of delegates. The instant the Hoover address began, the loud speaker system wentj,.out of commission and remained "out until Mr. Hoover finished talking. No one in the audiII torium heard what he said. marked the end of any Hoover influence on that convention. From his hotel, immediately following the completion of his address, Hoover announced he did not wish to be considered a candidate for the nomination and his name was not presented. The evidently planned failure of a loud speaker system had marked the end of the political ambitions or expectations of a great American. To me the loss was that of the nation, but as a distinguished citizen, as an elder statesman, Mr. Hoover exerts a tremendous influence on American thinking. Six months before the Philadelphia convention, Representative Joe Martin, then chairman of the Republican National committee, asked me to name my choice for the nomination. I named Herbert Hoover. "If he could be nominated, we could elect him," Martin said. Some one, or some group, had taken no chances on a dark horse nomination.

If any government wants to provide full employment in the future, it must first free itself from these unsuccessful grooves of thought, break out of these reactionary shackles of the mind and search for valid ways and means that seem likely to do the job. What makes full employment? Good business. Nothing else ever What made it in a democracy. makes good business? The expectation of the people that they can make a profit. No other formula in a democracy ever made people spend and invest, buy and sell. MAINTAIN PROFIT MOTIVE Governments then must direct their search for full employment into one line maintenance of the profit incentive. If they want formulas, they must seek new ones to keep an expectation of profits in the public mind. The line on which they are now going lies clearly in the opposite direction. A $25,000,000,000 budget would require such heavy taxation upon the people as to make their wages (profits) worth less and be so onerous on business as to discourage the expectation of profits. In fact, the higher you raise taxes, the less chance there is of profit, good business and full employment. In following this line, you defeat your own objectives. A work week? That is not full employment. Does this suggestion search in the right direction when you consider the fall of France, due to her inability to get production on the 35 week? Are we, in this and war, winning on the production front by reducing the work week, or are we not now proving conclusively that full production (with full employment) requires a reasonable work week? A work week would cut salaries in half, leaving that much less to spend, that much less to produce, that much less to buy. It would be a depressant to full employment. Clearly it appears to me our thinkers are on the wrong track. Let them look in the opposite direction and devise means of maintaining a constant, steady "expectation of profits" and that is all they will hav to do. 40-ho- ur "I'd aufferfd for years with eont!patlon.
