Professional Football
Coming National Sport
Claims Paul Schissler
HAtyrrNOS, Neb., Deo. M. (UP)
Professional football Is the coming na
tional sport of the United States, was
the enthusiastic prediction today of
Paul Mark Schissler, who has setn
football played both for "Dear Old
fllwash" and "Dear Old Ooldcash."
The former coach of the powerful
Oregon State eleven, who left collegi
ate gridirons to Join the Ohlodgo
Cardinals, came home here for the
holidays, all pepped up over his first
year with the professional leather-
luggers.
Schissler has looked over the bst
that both brands of football have to
offer, amateur and professional, and
he is sold on the professional variety.
"Boy, It's the goods!" Is his ver
dict.
"The sport la headed forward and
for better times. And no howling
alumni to bother it r
The boys who play football, for
money present a gridiron perfection
that can't be equalled by amateurs,
he says.
What's the big difference In pro
ranks?" he asks, and proceeds to an
swer his own question. "It's simply
this: A pro team Is not a machine
of a few brilliant players and a few
good boys. It's a team of 11 brilliant
players, with plenty more brilliant
players on the bench.
"And what do they do that's differ
ent from the college boys? Look to
old Shipwreck Kelly of the Brooklyn
Dodgers for a good example.
"One day Shipwreck started an end
run against us and our linemen sifted
through and forced htm back on the
run. Then, all of sv sudden, while
on a dead run, he lets fly a punt
that goea sailing over the head of
our safety. Let's see your college boys
do that.
Schissler staunchly defends the
spirit of the men who -play the pro
fessional game. Their enthusiasm Is
Just as high, he says, as that of the
boys who go out to "do or die for
dear old Rutgers.'
"The biggest and most pleasant sur
prise I got last season,"' he said, "Is
the way the boys took the game. By
George, you may not believe It, but
those boys are as nervous as settln'
hens before the game and they go on
the field with the mist In their eyes."

Its usual dscoratlonj. as wU as many
