BULLETIN
By FRANK BECKMAN
IF YOU HAVE any chancy what-
soever of becoming an out-
standing sports personality, heed
our - advice . . . Take a course in
public speaking.
Sid Gillman
will second this
motion. Since
the end of foot-
fall season, this
Miami Univer-
sity (Ohio)
coach has been
running hither
and yon, im-
parting gems of
gridiron w i s -
Beckman
dom at 'ban-
quets, meetings, etc.
Why is Gillman so sought af-
ter? Well, for one thing, he Put
out about the best small college
football team in the country last
season.
By "about the best" we mean
an aggregation that won nine
games, including a victory over
Texas Tech in the Sun Bowl,
lost none and tied one.
(lit the dirt! These members of Palestine's Jewish Settlement Police, the officially recognized
arm of Ilaganah, are undertaking the active defense of exposed towns and villages against
attacking Arabs. Recruited from the ranks of settlers, these police protect Jewish settle-
ments so that building can continue amidst the strife. Their equipment is purchased with
funds from the United Jewish Appeal.

Great Player
THEN, TOO, Sid was one of
the best ends ever to play at
Ohio State. Back in 1933, he
was named to several Big Ten
and All-American teams. Ile
also was a favorite with the fans.
After graduation, Gillman be-
came a member of the Buckeye
staff, later moving over to Deni-
son as assistant coach. He be-
came head mentor there, before
succeeding Stu Holcomb at Mi-
ami U.
There's no telling how high
Sid will go in the coaching
world. He has been linked to
numerous professional jobs, and
as the saying goes, "you can't
keep a good man down."
That goes for oratorical wizards
as well.
