Eagles to See New Faces On Steeler Team fly MYKOX COPE, Sfort Writer PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE NOV. 27, 1959 PAGtrl? Not Same Eagle Runners Near hOOO Yardage Mark Ara You Made the Facts Too Short Every now and then the intelligent American consumer finds himself in the position of being well satisfied with a commercial product until he has seen some greaseball extoll the product on TVr. All of a sudden the consumer develops a deep distaste for that product. East Wins 'Gem' On Field Goal West Chester's Hill Shockley's Hoot ('os, 17lf ERIE, Nov. 26 A 21-yard field goal by Rill Shockley of West Chester (Pa.) Teachers made the dif ference today as East beat West, 17 16, in the second annual post season Gem Bowl All-Star football game.

Shockley found Ihe uprights in the final seconds of Ihe first half at a time when the West team was leading, 16 11. The two teams played scoreless ball In the second half. i any," he said, "but I was just trying to make a point, you see?" We didn't see. In his speech he had declared: I say le's get our kids out of the autos and onto the athletic fields. The yearly ratio of automobile deaths to football deaths Is 236 to 1.

Drownings are 337 to 1. Deaths by firearms are 211 to 1. Deaths by burning are 75 to 1." Somehow we had suspected all along that, it was more dangerous to be set afire or to get a cramp in a lake or to take a bullet in the chest, than to play football. "You know, Ara," we said, "more people drive autos than play football." "Oh, yes, that's true," Ara agreed. "But you see, I was just trying to make a point.

We weren't very curious as to what point Ara was trying to make, but we were in a mean mood so we asked him where he got his statistics anyhow? "Oh, I read them in some magazine coming down here," he replied. Apparently Ara goes around quoting statistics that he has not even checked for accuracy, although one would expect a representative of a great university to take a more responsible approach to his public speaking duties. However, Ara does have a very earnest, very sincere stage manner and as he goes around the country telling audiences how he was a child of the depression, a youth whom football saved from the Big House, he gets you right down here. After he had finished evangelizing the Curbstoners, a young high school coach shook his hand and said: "Coach Parseghian, I only hoe that, some day one of my boys may have the privilege of playing for you." Maybe we better let the kids run around in This was approximately our experience the other night at the Curbstone Coaches' annual awards dinner. Football we like.

We think football is ginger peachy. We would rather see hich school kids playing i football than tearing around town in autos. This was exactly the view expressed by Ara Parseghian, the main speaker at the Curbstone dinner, but after Ara had finished we were almost inclined to dislike football and wish more kids were tearing around in hot-rods. Ara is no greaseball. The head coach of Northwestern University' football team is a boyish' looking: 3fi.

At the microphone he brims with sincerity, sways to and fro with evangelistic fervor, and rattles off statistics like a scholar. His only drawback is that he does not trouble himself with truth or logic. However, he speaks very fast so that before the listener has had time tn weigh one half-truth Ara has hurled a second and a third one at him. Ara's specialty was. setting up straw men and knocking them down.

In fact, if the Northwestern football team had been able to knock down the enemy as Ara knocks down straw men, the Wildcats would have gone undefeated. 1 "I cannot understand the adverse publicity which college football gets," said Ara, who has enjoyed an excellent press. "As soon as one coach, one man, makes a mistake, our whole profession is labeled corrupt." After he had finished speaking we asked Ara to specify one newspaper story which had labeled the whole profession corrupt because of one man's mistake. He smiled boyishly.

26 (AP) Quarterback Howard Dyer, a nerveless jack-of-all-trades, demoralized favored Virginia Tech in the air and on the ground here today as he led VMI's upstart Keydets to a smashing 37-12 victory and the Southern Conference football Club That Birds Beat Butler, Sutherin Among Men Who eren't in Defeat By JACK SELL Pi-GMite fcpoui xvnirr Seven weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles edged the Pittsburgh Steelers by 2814 in Franklin Field. But the Birds will find that there have been numerous changes made in the Rooney U. lineup when hex-play the return tussle in Forbes Field on Sunday. Jack Butler, all NFL defensive back, limped into the first battle for one play. This time he'll be roaming; around in his old secondary spot breaking- up passes and smashing runners to the turf.

Don Bishop, goat of the fracas in Philly, was released after that game. In his place is Don Sutherin, a promising rookie from Ohio State who has sparkled ever since the New York Giants dropped him and Buddy Parker, salvager of grid castoffs, picked him up. Smith Ready to 'Go At defensive right end for the Gold and Black will be rough, tough Billy Ray Smiih, pro sophomore from Arkansas. He hurt a knee in an exhibition against the Baltimore Colts in Miami and never got into league action until a few weeks ago. Smith's return enabled the Stealers to return the veteran Ernie Stautner to his favorite right tackle post.

Billy Ray delights In harassing the passer; last Sunday he smeared Cleveland's Milt Plum a couple, of times at crucial moments. In the first. Steeler game Norm Van Brocklin, the Eagle QB, was never touched by enemy tacklers. He'll likely get his uniform soiled a few times on Sunday as Smith and Left End George Tarasovic put on charges. In Philly, End Jack McClair-en played briefly, caught ihe only three passes he nabbed this season, then went, out of action for ihe season after aggravating a bad knee.

He's now in Mercy Hospital recovering from an operation. End Barrel Brewster, a late addition to the local squad, will be ready this time to help nab Bobby Layne aerials. Eagles Added Cothren Of course the Eagles haven't been inactive, either. They added Paige Cothren, a Los Angeles Ram castofT, and his field goal kicking has been sensational. He booted a 14-varder in the final minute to beat the West Coast team, 23-20.

last Sunday. Coach Buddy Parker feels that his Steelers are red hot right now and due to capture their third in a row. Yesterday he had them on the South Park practice field at 8:30 a. m. so they could get through with their chores in time to see the Detroit-Green Bay game on TV and enjoy Thanksgiving Day dinner.

Another important drill is listed today and ihe usual light tuneup tomorrow. Coach Buck Shaw will hold his Saturday session at home, then fly here tomorrow afternoon.
