19th Hole: The Readers Take Over

THE BOYS
Sirs:
Your article on the Philadelphia Eagles (The Day the Boys Scared the Men, Dec. 18) will just about do it between me and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED .

Roy Terrell has no business calling a world championship team a bunch of "boys"! You just don't say things like this.

Sirs:
I was at that game and, unlike the people who knew all along that "the Giants were never in danger of losing," I considered the Eagles a better team that was robbed of a victory by some tough and disputable calls.
MICHAEL E. BRATMAN
Philadelphia

Sirs:
If those people in the green shirts were boys, I move that Roy ("Roy-boy") Terrell be appointed a committee of one to investigate the possibility of lowering the draft age to 12.

Sirs:
Stupid, foolish, incompetent, pathetic.

Sirs:
The first account of the game which put it in its true perspective.
WILLYS K. SILVERS

? Roy Terrell was not the only expert who thought the Eagles as a team played far beyond their capacities as individuals. In picking their 22-man All-Pro teams for the year both the AP and UPI found only one Eagle, Sonny Jurgensen , good enough to make the grade (five Giants made it).—ED.

ALL (MOST)- AMERICA
Sirs:
You say that All-America team selections are getting "curiouser" and cite Rutgers " Alex Kroll as a specific example (SCORECARD, Dec. 18).

I wonder if you noticed that in a league dominated by Rutgers the All-Conference team was dominated by players from Lehigh, Delaware , Bucknell and Lafayette . This would indicate that the coaches in the Middle Atlantic Conference who supposedly selected the team are either lousy judges or pretty poor coaches. With such an array of All-Conference material, they should have beaten Rutgers easily.

Sirs:
At Rutgers football is a part of Rutgers , not Rutgers a part of football; the All-Americas they get deserve all the credit in the world for being able to make it at a college that is not highly publicized. Alex Kroll is indeed one of these men.
