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 ... Purdu By The Associated Press 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. Spartans Slip MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin's' scrappy Badgers, led by Joe Franklin's 38 points, snapped aj two-game losing streak with a 70- 68 victory over Michigan State's defending Big 10 basketball co- champions last night. Franklin, 6-4 jumping jack, keptI the ragged-playing Badgers in contention with a 21-point outputI in the first half. He added 1-7 points in the sec- ond half in steering Wisconsin to its second conference victory against one loss. In addition to his career high-j point output, Franklin snared nine rebounds in the winning cause. Wisconsin Coach John Erick- sin revamped his lineup for the start of the game and the Badgers at one time fell eight points behind the visitor before their attack be-1 gan to jell.

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 at Iowa, is especially enthusiastic. He described his team as "much improved. I feel we've improved 25 per cent in some areas and over 50 per cent on the trampoline." At first glance this seems hard to believe. The Hawkeyes lost four men. One, Tom Goldsborough, is 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. Three Return 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 trampoline team." added Pond.
