Sigmund Freud On Football
How would football have looked to the late Dr. Sigmund Freud? What the father of psychoanalysis might have said is presented in "Freud, Football and the Marching Virgins," a November Reader's Digest article by Thomas Hornsby Ferril, Denver poet, editor and publicist.

"THE RITES BEGIN at the autumnal equinox and culminate on the first day of the New Year with great festivals identified with bowls of plenty; the festivals are associated with flowers such as roses, fruits such as oranges, farm crops such as cotton, and even sun worship and appeasement of great reptiles such as alligators. . . .
"Obviously, football is a syndrome of religious rites symbolizing the struggle to preserve the egg of life through the rigors of impending winter," he writes.
"The egg of life is symbolized by what is called 'the oval', an inflated bladder. The convention is repeated in the architectural oval-shaped design of the vast out-door churches in which the services are held. . . Literally millions attend . . . in anticipation of violent masochism and sadism about to be enacted by a highly trained priesthood of young men . . .
"The ceremony begins with colorful processions of musicians and semi-nude virgins who move in and out of ritualized patterns. This excites the worshipers to rise from their seats, shout frenzied poetry in unison and chant ecstatic anthems."
DR. FREUD'S only visit to the United States was to lecture at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., as part of the school's 20th anniversary celebration in September of 1909.
U.S. Berlin Troops Move To Protect Border Rights
By United Press International
BERLIN—Communist forces interfered with American traffic across the border of this divided city today, and shortly afterwards all American military forces in Berlin were placed on an official status of alert for more than five hours.
American and British tanks and troop reinforcements were moved up to the Friedrichstrasse crossing point and the Brandenburg Gate border sector.
"All Berlin command troops have been on a status of alert since 10 minutes past 10 (3:10 a.m. Lawrence time) this morning," a U.S. Army spokesman said.
THE 6,500 AMERICAN TROOPS were alerted as the Communists challenged the U.S. right of free access to East Berlin.
The spokesman added that the alert was lifted at 3:35 p.m. (8:35 a.m. Lawrence time).
The alert came at about the time U.S. soldiers drove three jeeps 400 yards into East Berlin to escort an American civilian automobile across the border.
The move apparently was a dramatic reiteration of American determination to maintain the right of free access to all parts of the divided city.
LATER, TWO U.S. ARMY tourist buses were stopped at the border by Communist police. The vehicles, with 37 Americans, including women and children aboard, returned to the American checkpoint at the Friedrichstrasse crossing after more than an hour. A U.S. spokesman said they were pulled back to prevent harrassment of the women aboard.
It was the second time in a week that U.S. soldiers moved across the city border into East Berlin. Last Sunday, a nine-man military police squad twice marched into East Berlin to escort the automobile of Alan E. Lightner Jr., head of the U.S. state department mission here, when he was stopped by the Reds. He drove through a third time without interference.
