THE SUN. NEWRERWV. s. C~ OCTOBER 31, 1941 ' | 'HIS matter of expecting even the -*■ stronger football teams to win all of their games or most of their games is a point all of joint—if a point can have a joint. Even the Yankees and Dodgers, good enough to carry off a pair of pennants, won only two-thirds of their starts, and football should be judged in much the same manner. There are toe many strong teams in the field today for old grads to keep expecting one victory after an other. Many have now even reached the point of tossing out teams that happen to have lost a single game. On this basis where would the Dodgers have been last spring when even the Giants beat them three straight to open the season? As Bob Zuppke once said, “Out in that Big Ten I can lose every game and still look good.” And that might be true. Accidents, tough breaks, injuries and other details can often make a difference of two or three touch downs in a game. The psycholog ical setup has wide ranges. The main answer is that any team playing a first-class schedule can look back on a good season if it can win a majority of its starts. Last season, for example, Minnesota won every game—yet Minnesota had the closest possible calls against Michi gan, Northwestern and Ohio State, with whom just a slender flop in luck 'the other way might have brought the gallant Gophers three setbacks. That’s the way football is. One or two breaks, especially in the passing game, can raise an abnormal amount of old-fashioned Cain. It has been that way every season, and this should be no exception. The ‘Next Year 9 Job Messrs. MacPhail and Durocher of Brooklyn’s Dodgers are not think ing at the moment of any revenge on the Yankees next fall. Their first move will be to stall off the Cardinal charge. Sam Breadon and Branch Rickey both believe that said Cardinals will LEO DUROCHER be much harder to hold in check next spring and summer with so many crack young pitchers on hand. Against this Wyatt, Davis and Fitz simmons of the Dodgers have a com bined total of 107 years—or 108 years by 1942. “You might also add that we can’t be expected to have another such run of terrible luck,” Rickey said. “That will make a terrific differ ence.” The 1941 World series is now back with the dust-gathering archives, but they are still talking about Joe Gordon, the Oregon Flash. Gordon did something more than bat .500 in the series and reach first 14 times in five games. He killed infield drives that would have whis tled safely throlgh Dodger de fenses, and this makes a major dif ference to any pitcher. The Yankees slipped at least four hits to the right of second that Gor don would have been waiting for— or at least would have handled with out breaking his neck. The Yankee star is remarkably quick starting in either direction, and he is even quicker with his hands. As a freshman at Oregon he was the most promising-looking young football player the West coast had seen in years, but abandoned the gridiron for a diamond career. Joe McCarthy wants none of his ath letes playing football. Gordon has less tension on big days than any other ball player in the game. There is no situation that can tighten him up. And the game can’t show you a finer sports man. • • • A Gall for Help “Now that the World series is over,” writes a fan, “how about helping out a few of us duffers? Some time back you wrote some thing about ‘live hands’ in golf. How do you get live hands?” Dead hands and dead wrists are usually the result of leg and body- tension. This tension tightens up both hands and wrists, and leaves nothing left but a shoulder or a body lunge. New Fall Clothes Are Pretty But They Are Also Practical By CHERIE NICHOLAS IF YOU are enrolled at A college, if you are a debutante, if you are a full-fledged socialite, or if you are a career girl, you will be going places this fall and winter, and that means pretty clothes and many of ’em. The “trick” is to assemble a wardrobe of costumes that have the style-correctness and indefinable charm that will make you the reigning glamour girl in the smartly alert stadium group, at the college "prom,” at afternoon tea or bridge. The illustration herewith is de signed to offer suggestions for cos tumes that wilWo just that. Wherever smart crowds parade into the stadium this fall you will find fragrant fresh flowers posed romantically on muffs and cuffs as well as on coat collars and revers, and on canes, if you please. Here’s hoping your far-away soldier, or a doting parent at home will be wiring you one of the newest style cor sages to wear to that football game. If you are seeking ways to allot your clothes allowance wisely, we would suggest the purchase of a youthful-looking kidskin jacket such as that worn by the cheer-enthusiast seated to the left in the group. A flattering gray or beige fur like this will “go with everything,” your sports frocks, your dresses for town wear and travel, or your new “date” dfess. It’s simply perfect to wear to foot ball games. As a background for a corsage of yellow chrysanthe mums such as the girl pictured is wearing gray kidskin is the ideal answer. For an apropos ensemble, the streamers must carry out the college colors. Coach your florist beforehand to attach your college letter right in the heart of the flower as though it had grown there. The stunning hat that completes this costume is black with the new cur tain drape that conceals the hair at the back in a soft line. The hunter’s green frock of sheer wool, with tailored lines and nipped- in waist, as shown above to the right, is a smart choice to wear to the game and the tea dance after ward. A corsage of roses is matched to the rose petaled crown of the saucy pillbox hat. It is the very latest fashion to wear your flowers at the belt line, after the manner pictured. One of the necessary luxuries of a debutante or fair college girl is a simple classic gown fashioned of a delectable pastel woolen. The styl ing of the pastel frock above to the left in the group is particularly attractive. There is restrained full ness at the front of the skirt. The bodice is beautifully detailed, with the new and popular slenderizing midriff effect. Pompadour hat and long suede gloves complete this charming “date” dress. Evidently, according to this picture, “he” wired “her” one of the extremely popular patriotic corsages of red roses, blue cornflowers and white carnation petals. The fall and winter social whirl makes it almost imperative that ev ery girl who goes places «wn a black velvet “date” drest. Slack velvet is equal to any occasion. Be low, to the right, you see a glamour dress on a glamour girl. The square-cut neck is extremely flat tering. A stunning bracelet, a jew eled brooch, the new long gloves, a towering turban draped of cerise velvet done in the milliner’s hap piest manner, and an exotic cor sage of rubrum lilies dramatize this “portrait of a lady” to the ’nth degree. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) New Fall Bags Long and narrow, beautifully ap pointed with the “last word” in con trivances to make life easier by safeguarding your valuables, and taking care of your “hanky,” your lipstick and other make-up essen tials, the new bags are everything you want them to be in convenience as well as esthetic appearance. An oriental influence is reflected in the initials which take a distinctly Chi nese slant on the bag shown at the top. Bracelet, earclips, and twin lapel bowknot pins matching metal add a cosmopolitan touch. The new black suede bag shown below has a pocket and smart tucked detail. Wear a Collection Of Pins and Clips If you wear your fancy jewelry clips and pins as fashion dictates you will look like a military heroine displaying a collection of honor med als. The latest is to wear, not mere ly a single clip or pin but a whole bevy of them. It works somewhal like the charm bracelet idea. You collect versatile clips and display them on your blouse or lapel. You can get twin clips, triplet, quadrup let and even quintuplet groups. This is especially so in regard to butter fly motifs. A flock of jeweled wings is often seen fluttering on the new costumes. Some of the clip sets have, say, three units which are held in leash with delicate link chains. Makes a stunning effect. Enormous glittering flower sprays will be worn on fur coats this win ter, or will be worn with the simple basic dark dress to take the place oi trimming or other ornamentation. The return of long necklaces is alsc important jewelry news. Luxurious Fabrics May Soon Be Harder to Buy Fabrics used in the fall collec tions almost overawe one with their elegance. Some merchants say this is the grand climax before we settle down to utilitarian weaves, and that lavish silks will be less and less available. However, the presenl handsome silks are setting the pace for rayon weaves produced in our own country that will reproduce handsome failles, satins, brocades, and so on. Stiff silk weaves such as failles, taffetas, tie silks, lustrous, firm sat ins, and rich velvets are linked this season to the new slim silhouettes and are also being made up in stun ning costume and evening blouse*. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 2 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES LESSON TEXT—Galatians 6:7. 8: I John l:5-2:6. GOLDEN TEXT—If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous ness.—I John 1:9. Sin is an appalling reality, hideous and horrible in itself, and bearing with it the gravest consequences both in this life and in the life to come. Man does not find it pleasant to face that fact, and so he makes light of sin and even may go so far as to deny its existence. Obviously such an expedient does nothing to solve the difficulty or to meet the gnawing distress of a heart facing and fearing the judgment of God. Far better to meet the reality of it, admit its awfulness, and seek God’s way of full deliverance. Sin, which came into the world when man listened to Satan and disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, has gone on to mar and to mark all mankind. We note that I. Sin Brings Corruption (Gal. 6: 7, 8). v Seedtime is followed by harvest. This is the law of nature, the law of God. The farmer who sowed wheat in the spring looked for wheat when the harvest time came. The same principle holds in the spiritual realm. Just as the one who sows to the Spirit reaps eternal life, the one who sows to the flesh reaps corruption, and death. A life of self-indulgence (which is sowing to the flesh) brings moral decay. The weakened will yields to desire, and it “bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death” (James 1:14, 15). This death is spiritual, bringing separa tion from God, a loss of fellowship and communion with Him. Spiritu al death as well as physical death came upon mankind through Adam’s sin. II. Sin Loves Darkness (I John 1:5-7). There is not a bit of darkness in God. He is light. When Jesus came into the world, He came as the Light of the World. But “men loved darkness rather than light, be cause their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved” (John 3:17-21). The corollary of that truth is that a man who says he has fellowship with God, but continues to walk in darkness, brands himself a liar (v. 6). Compare Revelation 21:27-28 for what God thinks of liars. The light still shines, and the one who is walking in darkness has only to step over into the light (v. 7) where he will find fellowship with all God’s people and know the cleansing of the blood of the Son of God. III. Sin Is an Undeniable Fact (I John 1:8-10). It seems impossible that a man who knows himself and knows the life he lives would ever deny sin, for it is one of the most evident of all facts. Yet men have denied it, or sought to explain it away, calling it error, or a “fall upward,” or a step in man’s development, or the evidence of man’s self-conscious ness and desire to learn. There is no hope for a man as long as he assumes such an atti tude, for he not only lies himself, but he makes God a liar. He denies the truth of God’s Word about sin, makes meaningless or wicked God’s dealings with sin, and reveals that God’s Word is not in him. Those who make such statements declare that they do not belong to God and do not accept His Word. It is evi dent that they ought never to be per mitted to teach such things in the church, or in the name of Chris tianity. IV. Sin Calls for a Saviour (I John 2:1-6). Christ the propitiation, the mercy- seat covering for our sins, is the only Saviour. He paid the price, and made it possible for God to be just and at the same time a justi- fier of the ungodly. The sinner needs such a Saviour. Sin in the life of the believer also calls for a Saviour, one who will cleanse us (1:9) and who will in His own blessed name plead our cause “if we sin.” He is our Advo cate (2:1) pleading His righteous ness in our behalf when we do fall. This does not mean that we may then become indifferent or careless about sin. If we say we know Him and do not keep His commandments, we lie about our professed relation ship to Him. The mark of a true child is a spirit of obedience. God’s children prove their love to Him by keeping His command ments. Talking about our devo tion to Him, giving our service for Him, or sacrificing for His cause mean nothing if we do not obey Him. We only pile evidence upon evidence of our untruthfulness by making claims and doing things which are negated by our disobedi ence. stay firmly in place and never slip.
