... Howard Kohn
I didn't want to bring this up before, because you know how
rumors are once they get going . . . inciting people to riots and
crucifixions and developing into movements and all that sort of thing.
But, in good conscience, I can't keep this from you much longer.
Unlike most people, especially Christians, Dr. Ira Eshleman
believes in the Bible.
Eshleman also believes he is the chaplain of pro football.
He has held services for the Green Bay Packers in all of their
playoff games including Sunday's victory over a league which Pete
Rozelle says is not inferior to the big leagues.
Eshleman's pre-picked favorites, however, were the Baltimore
Colts. During the regular season, flanker Willie Richardson led the
prayer during one of Eshleman's morning vespers and then caught
the winning touchdown for the Colts in the afternoon.
From then on, Eshleman was fond, of saying, "Only God
knows for sure."
This raises an interesting point:
Many psychologists claim that people relate events because they
happen simultaneously. When Malcolm X, for example, predicted that
his enemies would die in an air crash, his followers believed him and
a week later a plane carrying several Southern politicians did crash.
Jesus' prophecies, as vaguely disguised as some were, also came
true.
He said that his friends would turn against him, and they did
and still do.
He also said that the meek would inherit the earth.
Eshleman, a large rambling man with a Bear Bryant drawl, un-
fortunately is not a meek man.
Accustomed to the hand-clapping and feet-stomping of Southern
revival meetings, he ministered as an evangelist, founding a highly
profitable "Bible Town" in Boca Raton, Fla.
He retired from the professional ranks last April. Subsequently
he became bored, latched on as one of America's chaplains at Expo 67
and then announced he was organizing non-sectarian Sunday morn-
ing services for Sunday afternoon's non-believers.
Joe Schmidt of the Detroit (Plimpton) Lions was a most
forthright skeptic, asking him to first experiment on the coaches,
before he would enroll his team in the services.
"This a $10 million capital investment we're talking about. We
can't afford to have it psychologically off for a game," Schmidt
explained.
Vhen the Lions felled the Giants, however, schmidt called
Eshleman into the post-game lockerroom to lead a prayer while he
t and his players knelt on their knees
"I've seen it in high school and college but never in professional
football," exclaimed Eshleman later.
"Today's athletes are fed 'up with the caricature of religion
they found in churches back home. They want reality in religion.
"Besides, while most church people do a lot of talking about
ecumenicalism, these players are already practicing it," he added.
Players reactions were highly nebulous-as always-except for
Willie Richardson who was also fond of saying, "Only God knows
for sure."
This raise another interesting point:
Henry Adams often wondered what this inscription meant,
"No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean."
This was because Jesus had said that the peacemakers would be
called the sons of God..
Eshleman, who thought about going to Vietnam because he had
served as a chaplain during World War II, believes "it is better to
have violence on the football field than in the streets."
Jesus, a Jew born of ignorant Jewish parents, on the other hand,
was a rabble-rauser. Consequently he died of violence on the streets.
However, Jesus' followers, who later became Christians, were
convincedhe was a peacemaker and called him the Son of God.
They were fond of saying, "Only God knows for sure."
This raises another interesting point:
Jesus did not want to leave the Garden of Gethsemane for the
court of Pontius Pilate and the cross of Mount Calvary. Neither man
nor woman wanted to leave the Garden of Eden. Neither players nor
fans want to leave the football field.
k Many psychologists claim that this is man's desire to return
to the womb. Jesus, being descended from the Father although he
was always one with the Father, was fond of saying, "Only God
knows for sure."
This raises another interesting point:
Whatever happened to the voice crying in the wilderness?
But I digress ...

LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Sopho-
more Rick Mount scored 33 points
to lead Purdue over weak shoot-
ing rival Indiana 89-60 in Big Ten
basketball last night.
The Hoosiers, who made only 26
of 78 shots from the field, didn't
have a man score in double
figures.
The 6-foot-3 Mount hit half of
his 20 field shots and 13 of 15 free
throws. Over-all the Boilermakers
made 33 of 42 free throws, com-
pared with Indiana's eight of 18.
Tyrone Bedford and 5-10 Bill
Keller grabbed 13 rebounds each
to help Purdue race to an 8-0
lead thatnwidened to 42-29 at
halftime and as much as 87-56
toward the end.
It was Purdue's widest margin
over Indiana since a 47-13 victory
over the Hoosiers in 1934.
Keller finished with 16 points,
while Indiana's Butch Joyner, Joe
Cooke and Rick Atkinson each
scored nine.

Revenge Spurs Gym Competition
By ANDY BARBAS
Michigan's gymnasts competed
against Iowa four times last sea-
son. The results were:
Michigan 188.55, Iowa 188.525.
Iowa 187,05, Michigan 184.87.
Iowa 184.65, Michigan 184.10.
Michigan 187.40, Iowa 186.90.
The first battle was the closest.
Michigan ecked.. out a .025-point
victory to give Iowa its only con-
ference duel-meet loss of the year.
The second clash was the most
tragic. Iowa defeated the Wolver-
ines in the Big Ten Meet, winning
the conference title for itself, and
halting a six year domination by
Michigan.
The third encounter was the
least significant. Iowa toppedj
Michigan, resulting in a second-
place NCAA regional finish for the
Iowans with Michigan finishingj
third.
The fourth match was the
climax. Michigan overcame the
Buckeyes by half a point gaining

He described his team as "much

50 per cent on the trampoline."

the Big Ten parallel bars cham-
pion. Their sophomores though
seemed to have filled in the gaps
fairly completely, as Iowa's scores
have been in the upper 180's, very
good for this early in the season.
Their record this year is 5-0.

Illinois could be the dark horse
of the foursome. They are strong
in most of their events, but do
have a couple of insecure events.
The Illini coach, Charles Pond,
realizes that, "the high bar is a
little. touchy, but our biggest prob-
lem lies in the parallel bars. We're
using sophomores here, and the
inexperience could hurt us."
"I'm especially pleased with our

"Excluding Michigan, which prob-
ably has the world's best team,
ours shouldn't be beaten."
