19TH HOLE: THE READERS TAKE OVER
February 01, 1965
UNCOVER GIRLSirs:I received my January 18 issue of SI today and was shocked at the cover and the article inside (The Nudity Cult). I am a teacher and athletic director at a local high school and exert a big influence on a lot of teen-agers, I hope for the good. I encourage them to read good sport magazines, both to get them to read and keep up their interest in sports. I have always thought highly of your publication, but this issue really let me down. If I want my boys to read "girly" magazines I'll buy them for them.REV. ROBERT OBERMEYER Springfield, Ohio

Sirs:
The Uproar in Philadelphia is an obvious plot to degrade the city of Philadelphia as well as the Big Five. Jack Olsen's deplorable exaggeration of the "hate" between the participating schools misrepresents the true spirit of the contests. I have friends who attend all the schools mentioned, and our feeling is one of friendly competition, with an occasional taunt which is ever-present among good friends.

Sirs:
I was schooled in Philadelphia and lived there until four months ago and never did I hear a native of the city pronounce water as "wooder," say "iggle" for eagle, "lig" for league or "Pennsavania" for Pennsylvania. We never heard of a newspaper called the "Inquire"; we read the Inquirer.

Sirs:
Jack Olsen is in a lig by himself.
