On November 23, 1919, the first play-by-play football game in radio broadcast history took place when Texas A & M beat the University of Texas 7 to 0. In honor of this, join Tidbits as we play football!

FOOTBALL HISTORY BITS• In a 1897 football game, Georgia was playing the Uni-versity of Virginia. During a pile-up, a player named Von Gammon ended up on the bottom and was found uncon-scious. He died of a brain concussion. As a result, the Georgia team disbanded. Protests against the brutality of football spread. A bill was introduced to the Georgia state legislature to ban football from the state. It passed and was sent to the governor for his signature. It looked like football was doomed. But then a woman came for-ward. She wrote a letter to the governor, pleading with him not to use Von Gammon’s death as an excuse to out-law a good game. Because of this letter, the Governor refused to sign the bill into law. Football was saved. The woman who had written such an effective letter was Von Gammon’s own mother. • In 1905 there were 18 football deaths in the nation. The violence of the game diminished somewhat when the

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m 87 and have an enlarged prostate. When I get the urge to urinate, which is often, I

have to go at once. Do you think that taking a bladder-con-trol medicine would interfere with the Cardura (doxazosin) I’m taking to keep my urine duct (urethra) open? It’s getting to be a big problem. Hope you can help me. -- CB

ANSWER: Both men and women can have urinary urgency (the sensation of needing to go right away), and sometimes this can lead to accidents. In women, the prob-lem usually is attributed to bladder spasm, and in men it may be attributed erroneously to the prostate. Of course, it is possible to have both prostate problems like benign enlargement of the gland and bladder spasm, but oftentimes the problem in men is solely the bladder.

Some people need treatment for both, and there are no interactions I could find between doxazosin and bladder spasm agents like Detrol (tolterodine) or Ditropan (oxy-butynin).

The booklet on men’s health discusses prostate gland enlargement. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 1001W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and ad-dress. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •DEAR DR. ROACH: I read and hear of great health

benefits attributed to eating nuts. I have a very healthy heart, but no one can consider himself beyond the specter of cancer. Also, possibly my neurological or other systems that deteriorate with age could benefit from eating nuts. Unfortunately, eating nuts or peanuts results in constipation that can last for days. Foods with dairy or egg components give me the same problem. Do I do myself a disservice by not eating nuts? Should I consider episodes of constipation worth the benefits? -- J.M.

ANSWER: I have carefully read the new studies on nuts, and they confirm previous studies showing that nut consumption is associated with a lower risk of heart disease and overall death and, as you note, reduced cancer risk as well. However, this doesn’t prove that eating nuts reduces

those risks. It is possible that people who eat nuts have other behaviors that are really responsible for their lower risk of disease. However, the authors of the study did as good a job as possible to reduce that possibility.

In your case, I would think of nuts as a medicine. You have to consider the benefits (possibly lower risk of cancer and other diseases) against the side effects (constipation, which can be very unpleasant and reduce quality of life). One estimate is that nut consumption may increase lifespan by as much as a year. You may have less benefit than other people from nut consumption because of your healthy heart. That would make me less likely to recommend nut consumption for you. If your constipation were more than mildly annoying, I probably wouldn’t “prescribe” nuts. Similarly, people with nut allergies, which are increasingly common, cannot enjoy the health benefits of nuts. Only you can determine if the modest improvement in (possible) life expectancy is worth the symptoms.

in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to [email protected]. To view and order health pamphlets, visit www.rbmamall.com.

forward pass was invented, cutting down on the con-frontations.• In 1890 the Naval Academy in Annapolis chal-lenged the Army institution of West Point to a game, but West Point had no team. A cadet named Dennis Michie accepted that challenge and set about drum-ming up a team. However, Michie’s father was an officer at West Point and felt that football was a pa-thetic game. He told his son to quit the project. Den-nis Michie defied his father, and three weeks later 300 spectators watched the first Army-Navy game in history. The inexperienced Army team lost 24 to 0. Not even Dennis Michie’s father could swallow such a defeat. He ordered his son to do better next year and beat the pants off the Navy. Today the football stadium at West Point is named after Dennis Michie, founder of the Army-Navy rivalry.• In 1893 a little old lady watched the Annapolis football team play a game. She was friendly with a player named Reeves. During the game she saw Reeves take a pretty hard hit in the head during a pile up. Thinking about that blow to the skull, she be-came so concerned that she went home and designed a crude helmet for him. When he wore it in the next game, fans laughed and players teased. But it started a new fashion and before long helmets were standard gear.• During a football game at West Point a player sat on the bench watching Jim Thorpe run all over the field. As he was sitting there dreaming of becoming as great a player as Thorpe, the coach called him and sent him into the game. His moment of fame was at hand! Unfortunately, during his very first play he was hit so hard that his leg was broken and he was carried from the field, his dreams shattered. He never played football again, but the player went on to other successes. He was Dwight D. Eisenhower.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS• When the Nomads were up against Knute Rockne’s Notre Dame, Rockne could not understand why so many of his players were suddenly breaking their ribs. Player after player was hauled out of the game on a stretcher and the team doctor admitted that perfectly normal ribs were breaking like kite sticks. Rockne got suspicious and found that the Nomads were wear-ing steel knee braces. Rockne hit the roof while the Nomad coach feigned ignorance. “Guess they didn’t want to hurt their knees,” he said. From then on a new rule was on the books that made it illegal for any player to wear steel knee braces.• On October 7, 1916, the powerful Georgia Tech team invited little Cumberland College to play on Tech’s field. Cumberland did not have a regular team, but they rounded up some guys. The game didn’t go well for Cumberland, and later fullback A.L. Mac-donald recalled making “our longest gain of the day when I lost 5 yards.” One Cumberland player is said to have fumbled the ball and yelled at a teammate to pick it up. But with five big Georgia Tech guys bear-

ing down on him, he yelled back, “You pick it up! You dropped it!” The game was called in the third quarter and the final score was Georgia Tech 222, Cumberland 0.• Quarterback Harry Adams was playing for Montana in a game against Washington State in 1920. He had a badly injured ankle but insisted on playing anyway. When a punt went over his head, he limped along to retrieve it, but by the time he picked it up he was flanked by two very large Washington ends who were running at him full tilt getting ready to tackle him. “Don’t hit him, he’s hurt!” yelled one of the ends. At that point both players very carefully picked Adams up and gently laid him on his back on the field.

MEMORABLE PLAYS• During a game between Clemson & Mercer, a refer-ee turned to Clemson’s halfback, Streak Lawton, and said: “Streak, this is the last game of the season and you have just 60 seconds left to make history.” On the next play, Mercer punted, and Lawton returned the punt 90 yards for a touchdown. As he walked past the referee, Lawton was heard to ask, “What are the other 40 seconds for?”• Coach Fielding Yost was giving his team an intense pep-talk during half time, whipping the team into a fury. “All right men!” he hollered. “Follow me to vic-tory!” He yanked open a door to the locker room and

ran out. But he had pulled open the wrong door. He plunged headfirst into the swimming pool, followed by the entire team. In their heavy football gear, sev-eral of the players nearly drowned before they were pulled out.• Joe Namath was listening to a lecture by coach Bear Bryant, who was goading them to do well in their college classes because there was more to life than football and he didn’t want any dumbbells on his team. “If there is a dumbbell in the room, I wish he would stand up,” Bear said. Namath immediately stood up. “How come you’re standing up? You ain’t dumb,” asked Bear. “Coach,” replied Namath, “I just hate like the devil for you to be standing up there by yourself.”• Coach Knute Rockne would often drill his players by setting up imaginary situations and grilling them about what they would do next if caught in such a position. One day he said, “It’s our ball, fourth quar-

ter, we’re behind by three points, ball on our 45-yard line, fourth down, three to go— what do you do?” He asked a third-string quarterback. “Well, Mr. Rockne,” replied the bench-warmer, “I’d slide a few yards down on the bench to get a better look at the next play.”

Noteworthy Inventions

ETCH A SKETCH• In 1959 a 37-year-old man named Arthur Granjean invented what he called “L’Ecran Magique” (“magic screen”) in his garage in Paris. He took it to the In-ternational Toy Fair in Nuremburg, Germany. The Ohio Art Company bought the rights to it in 1960 for $25,000 and renamed it the Etch A Sketch. They advertised it widely in time for the Christmas season in 1960 and sales immediately took off. They’ve sold over 100 million since then.

Black Friday isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s a shop-ping event that you can’t help but try once. Be forewarned: If you go into an event of this magnitude hoping to casu-ally scope deals as you browse the aisles, you’ll likely end up frustrated and empty-handed. Despite the frenzy broadcast on TV, saving money on Black Friday can and should be an in-and-out operation, as long as you stick to these savvy shopping tips.

• Shop with intent: Compile a spread-sheet of who you’re purchasing gifts for, including size and product model prefer-ences. Some seasoned Black Friday shop-pers even go so far as to include a column to note which store to get individual items and their store hours, as well as driving di-rections to each location. At the very least, you should know exactly what you’re buy-ing and the discount or promotion that should be reflected at checkout.

• Sign up for rewards programs: Major retail stores often have a loyalty rewards program that earns you points or instant cash back on all purchases, including those on Black Friday. One retail card that is par-ticularly helpful is Target’s self-branded debit card, which provides an instant 5 per-cent cash back on purchases.

• Comparison shop in store: While you should have your eyes specifically on list items, you might encounter a few deals in-side the store that you hadn’t seen on Black Friday ads. Before adding it to your card, use your smartphone to do on-the-spot price comparisons. Stores bank on shoppers get-ting carried away with bulk discount bins and huge neon signs advertising a deal, but you shouldn’t take their word for it.

• Tag team with a friend: If you have a few of the year’s hot items on your wish list, your trip might be more successful with the help of a friend or family member. The extra set of eyes and hands can prove to be useful when sweeping the aisles for go-to deals. Leave children with a babysit-

ter at home, when possible.• Shop online: Jeanette Pavini, Coupons.com savings ex-

pert, said, “Some stores will even let you make your purchases online and choose the in-store pickup location. That way you can take advantage of the convenience of online shopping but in some cases pick up your items within an hour!”

• Look out for price drops: You might think your work is done as soon as you’re past the checkout counter -- it’s not. If you use a credit card to pay for your Black Friday purchase and find that the price dropped soon after, your credit card

issuer might honor a price-drop refund. For example, Discover customers benefit from up to a $500 per-claim refund maximum on qualified purchases within 90 days.

Keeping your eyes open for price reductions in the months after Black Friday can mean hundreds of dollars saved. Hold onto your purchase receipt, credit-card state-ment with the transaction and the dated advertisement with the lower price (at times a signed letter from the store manager will suffice).

There are some foods that just have to be part of winter holiday dinners. One is sweet potatoes. A classic dish in some homes has been sweet pota-toes with marshmallows. Forget that tired old dish. It just doesn't belong.

Here are two delectables that can be prepared a day ahead and reheated while the roast turkey rests for the carving session.

Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes introduces ingredients that are unusu-al in veggies — vanilla, thyme and ground ginger — for a spicy-herby-sweet touch. The Maple-Mashed Sweet Potatoes recipe is from “The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cook-book” by Robin Robertson (Harvard Common Press). Apple juice, maple syrup and cinnamon give this dish its distinctive essence.

SAVORY MASHED SWEET POTATOES

2 pounds sweet potatoes 2 tablespoons softened butter 2 teaspoons McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into equal-sized large chunks. Place in large saucepan. Add cold water to cov-er 1 inch over potatoes. Bring to boil; cover and cook over medium-low heat

15 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain.2. Place potatoes, butter, vanilla,

ginger, thyme and salt in large bowl. Mash until smooth and well-blended. Makes 4 (3/4 cup) serving.

Favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake

The flavor of pumpkin pie in a creamy cheesecake — the secret is that it's baked in a water bath. Our pump-kin cheesecake is light (in texture) and rich at the same time. Quite possibly our best cheesecake recipe yet!

Crumb Crust: 1 cup graham-cracker crumbs 3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted 2 tablespoons sugarPumpkin Cheescake Filling: 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened 1¼ cups sugar 1 can (15-ounce) pure pumpkin (not pumpkin-pie mix) 3/4 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons bourbon or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 large eggsSour-Cream Topping: 1 cup sour cream 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Crystallized ginger strips, for garnish

1. Heat oven to 350 F. In 9-by-3-inch springform pan, with fork, stir gra-ham-cracker crumbs, melted marga-

rine or butter, and sugar until moist-ened. With hand, press mixture onto bottom of pan. Tightly wrap outside of pan with heavy-duty foil to prevent leakage when baking in water bath lat-er. Bake crust 10 minutes. Cool com-pletely in pan on wire rack.

2. Prepare Pumpkin Cheesecake Fill-ing: In large bowl, with mixer at medi-

um speed, beat cream cheese until smooth; slowly beat in sugar until blended, about 1 minute, scraping bowl often with rubber spatula. With mixer at low speed, beat in pumpkin, sour cream, bour-bon or vanilla, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

3. Pour pumpkin mixture into crust and place in large roasting pan. Place pan on oven rack. Carefully pour enough boiling water into pan to come 1 inch up side of springform pan. Bake cheese-cake 1 hour 10 minutes or until center barely jiggles.

4. Meanwhile, prepare Sour-Cream Topping: In small bowl, with wire whisk, beat sour cream, sugar and vanilla until blended. Remove cheese-cake from water bath, leaving water bath in oven, and spread sour-cream mixture evenly over top. Return cake to water bath and bake 5 minutes longer.

5. Remove cheesecake from water bath to wire rack; discard foil. With small knife, loosen cheesecake from side of pan to help prevent cracking during cooling. Cool cheesecake com-pletely. Cover and refrigerate cheese-cake at least 6 hours or overnight, until well chilled. Remove side of pan to serve. Garnish with crystallized gin-ger. Makes 16 servings.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: There was a furor last summer over a veterinarian who shot a feral cat with an arrow. While animal lovers’ fury was understandable, what wasn’t addressed is the massive population of feral cats in the United States. Cats are very effective hunters and have decimated native populations of small wildlife. What is your opinion on the suggestion to hunt feral cats rather than simply trap, neuter or spay, then release them back into the wild? -- A Feral Cat Friend in Florida

DEAR FRIEND: I think that we shouldn’t give up on TNR (trap, neuter, release) programs, though additional solutions need to be looked into. Hunting isn’t one of those solutions.

In 2004, a study published in the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association said that the population of feral cats in the U.S. was nearing the number of cats that had a home -- about 50 million feral versus 73 million domesticated. However, while about 85 percent of female cats that had owners were spayed, only 2 percent of feral female

cats were. (www.avma.org/News/Journals/Col-l e c t i o n s / D o c u m e n t s /javma_225_9_1354.pdf) I wrote about the problem those many years ago, ad-vocating TNR.

Fast-forward to 2014: A TNR study conducted in Alachua County, Florida, found that increasing aware-ness among area residents and encouraging them to

TNR feral cats helped reduce the number of cats enter-ing the local shelter by 66 percent. (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090023314001841)

So, providing local education and resources to residents helps them actively and humanely participate in the gradual reduction of feral cat colonies. Fewer cats in an area can help the local wildlife rebound. Whether or not you own pets, you can play a role in reducing the feral cat population without using a bow and arrow. Start with organizations dedicated to achieving this, such as Alley Cat Allies at saveacat.org.

• How does it work? There’s a stylus, or pointer, mount-ed on two rails. Using a system of wires and pulleys, one rail moves back and forth, and the other moves up and down when the knobs turn. The gray stuff is powdered aluminum mixed with tiny plastic beads. The beads help the powder flow easily. The aluminum powder sticks to the glass because of static electricity. When the stylus moves, it touches the glass and scrapes the aluminum powder off. Shake it, and the aluminum is redistributed evenly. • The basic design hasn’t changed a bit since 1960, al-though variations on the model have been introduced.

Now there are pocket-sized models, travel size models, glow-in-the-dark models (only the frame glows), and also noisy models. The Zooper model makes all kinds of weird noises - beeps, boops, squeaks, and squawks - as the knobs turn. Also available is the Etch A Sketch “action pack” which offers various puzzles and games printed on overlays placed on top of the screen. • To celebrate the toy’s 25th anniversary in 1985, the Ohio Art Company came out with an “Executive” model made of silver with drawing knobs set with sapphires and topaz and a hand-carved logo at the top. Price: $3,750. • Steve Jacobs created the world’s largest Etch A Sketch at the Black Rock Arts Festival in California in 1997. He placed 144 regulation-sized Etch A Sketches in a huge square and surrounded them with a huge red Etch A Sketch frame, including huge white knobs. It qualified him for a Guinness World Record.• A Canadian computer programmer named Neil Fraser pulled the knobs off a standard Etch A Sketch and hooked it up to two motors which attached to the port of his computer. The motors work by remote control, en-abling Fraser to draw without ever touching the toy. Ro-botic components are also able to tilt the Etch A Sketch upside-down and shake it.• George Vlosich creates works of art using the Etch A Sketch as an artistic medium. He was a nine-year-old kid in 1989 when, on a long drive, he brought along his Etch A Sketch for backseat entertainment. A sketch he drew was so good his parents took a picture of it. An artist was born. Because one of his main interests was sports, he began sketching portraits of sports heroes. Then he waited after games hoping to get them to autograph his Etch A Sketch. His reputation as the “Etch A Sketch Kid” grew quickly. It takes George between 40 and 60 hours to complete a single

Etch A Sketch masterpiece. After it’s done, he carefully un-screws the back and removes the excess aluminum powder to preserve the picture forever. Today George is known far and wide for his artwork and has appeared countless times on radio, TV, in newspapers, and magazines. His Etch A Sketch artwork sells for up to $10,000.

• It was Scottish novelist and politician John Buchan who made the following ob-servation: “We can pay our debt to the past by putting the future in debt to ourselves.”

• The general board of the prestigious University of Cambridge has recommended that the institution hire a Professor of Lego. Yep. The lucky academic will head up the Research Centre on Play in Education, Development and Learning. On a related note, Cambridge recently re-ceived a donation of more than $6 million from the Lego Foundation.

• If you happen to have 40 billion Lego bricks lying around, you could, theoretically, build a tower to the moon.

• Single-shot coffee makers like Keurig are increas-ingly popular, but the inventor of the K-Cup coffee pods doesn’t actually use them himself. John Sylvan says, “I don’t have one. They’re kind of expensive to use.” He added, “It’s not like drip coffee is tough to make.”

• Beloved British author Charles Dickens was forced to go to work at the age of 11, pasting labels on bottles of shoe polish in a boot-blacking factory. Soon after, his father was put in debtors’ prison, and when his mother and siblings went to live with him there; young Charles was left to live on the streets and fend for himself. It’s not surprising, then, that after Dickens achieved the great success he enjoyed as a writer, he was an ardent campaigner for children’s rights.

Q: My mother collected cookbooks during the 1930s and ‘40s. She has the 1943 edition of “Joy of Cooking” by Irma S. Rombauer. I understand that this particular edition is quite collectible. A neighbor has offered me $25 for it. Should I sell or keep? -- Lydia, Chesterfield, Missouri

A: Your neighbor’s offer sounds half-baked to me, and I’ll explain why.

“The Joy of Cooking” was originally published in 1931, compiled by Irma Rombauer and illustrated by her daughter, Marion. It was a rather straightforward collection of recipes with a German-American twist. This cookbook, simply put, is one of the most famous and significant cookbooks in American history. It has had more than a half-dozen editions and somehow, even after 84 years, has remained relevant.

The 1943 edition is especially interesting. Irma began revising her cookbook in 1942, keeping in mind that American cooking had changed since the start of World War II. Ration cards and shortages were commonplace. Her 1943 edition even featured meat substitutes, using leftover foods and sugarless des-serts. Her suggestions for wartime emergency soups are just as valid today as when they were featured more than 70 years ago.

Although the first edition of “Joy of Cooking” can sell for several thousand dollars, the 1943 edition also is desirable. I have seen several copies of this edition sell in the $75-$150 range.

Incidentally, this is my favorite cookbook and hardly a week goes by that I don’t use it, and yes, it is the 1943 edition.

• •Q: I have a Pez dispenser that I have had since

1983. It is “Little Orphan Annie.” Is it worth keeping? -- Drake, Davenport, Iowa

A: I found your Pez dispenser in several of my price guides, and they seem to agree that “Little Orphan An-

nie,” which was issued in about 1982, is valued in the $120 to $180 range. A good reference is “Collector’s Guide to Pez: Identification & Price Guide” by Shawn Peterson and published by Krause Books.

• • •Q: I have a Singer sewing machine that is one of the

AH series. Can you tell me when it was manufactured? -- Carol, Sun City West, Arizona

A: Your Singer was produced during a two-year period: 1947-48.

• On Dec. 2, 1859, in Charles Town, Virginia, abolitionist John Brown is executed on charges of treason, murder and

insurrection. Brown became militant during the mid-1850s, when he fought pro-slavery settlers in the sharply divided Kansas Free State territory.

• On Dec. 6, 1917, a Belgian steamer and French freighter, both loaded with ammunition, explode in Canada’s Halifax Harbor, leveling part of the town and killing nearly 1,600 people and in-juring some 8,000. The ships carried 8 million tons of TNT in-tended for use in World War I.

• On Dec. 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy torpedo-bombers take off from Florida on a routine training mission over the Atlantic Ocean. The squadron leader later reported that his compass had failed and his position was unknown, and a rescue aircraft was dispatched with a 13-man crew. No trace of the 27 crewmen or six aircraft was ever found.

• On Dec. 4, 1956, the “Million Dollar Quartet” convenes at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, in an historic impromptu jam session. Present were Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. A tape recorded that day was not dis-covered until 1981.

• On Nov. 30, 1965, lawyer Ralph Nader publishes the muck-

raking book “Unsafe at Any Speed.” It became a bestseller and prompted the passage of seat-belt laws in 49 states (all but New Hampshire).

• On Dec. 3, 1979, eleven people are killed in a stampede outside a Who concert in Cincinnati when a crowd of general-admission ticket-holders surged forward in an attempt to secure prime unreserved seats inside, known as festival seating.

• On Dec. 1, 1990, 132 feet below the English Channel, work-ers drill an opening through a wall of rock, connecting the two ends of an underwater tunnel linking Great Britain with the Eu-ropean mainland for the first time in more than 8,000 years.
