Bacon. learn a little as the years VOU 1 pass by. Not much. Just a little. One of the few things Ive learned this season, meaning 1945, is that the word greatest doesnt ' belong in sport. There is no such word. .There never was and never will be a football greatest or baseball team a greatest golfer or greatest pitcher or greatest anything. The word is simply too big for the human race to handle. The word good is different. Even the word great in sport has been overused. Look over the list Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth in baseball Jim Thorpe, Pudge Heffelfinger, Bronko Nagur-sk-i, Red Grange, and 20 others in football. Among the pitchers Cy Young, Mathewson, Johnson, Alexander, on and on. Among the golfers Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Byron Nelson, Harry Vardon. Among the fighters or boxers Dempsey, Jeffries, Louis. I can give you 10 more. Among the greatest college football teams Army 1945, Notre Dame 1943, Notre Dame 1930, Minnesota, Reason, alas, does not remove mountains: It only tries to walk around them and see what is on the other sides JE, the Living Torch.

Not yet. In fact Minnesota and Michigan camp followers will tell Bill Daly is you that fast a greater offensive back than either Nagurski or Blanchard. And they can be right. I can name you more than a few backs that might be more valuable to a team than either Nagurski or Blanchard. The greatest passer or the great230-pou- est pass receiver? Sammy Baugh or Don Hutson. Maybe. But Greasy Neale says he would rather have Sid Luckman than Baugh and Hutson combined. Maybe Greasy is wrong. Maybe he isnt. Who is going to know? Greasy would rather have Van Buren than any back he ever saw. Bert Bell of the Steel-er- s would rather have Bill Dudley value. I think Clint for Frank of Yale is more valuable than either. I put this complicated problem up to Greasy Neale. Maybe Id rather have Clint Frank, he said. I mean taken every way. As fine as Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis are, I dont think either can do all the things that Clint Frank could do. We can move into other fields to prove there is no such word as greatest.
