For Preparedness

#o an otherwise ordinary Armis
tice Day observance in Schwab

sentative James E. Van Zandt of

izations. The program was opened
by a military ceremony in front of

sive reading were held in the aud
itorium in addition to Representa
tive Van Zandt's speech.
He said that America needs a
military machine, ztripped of pol
itics, to combat the power of Hit
ler whom he termed the "narrow
shouldered corporal."
In the second point of his talk,
Van _Zandt said, "The United
States will not statid for any group
—Communist,- Fascist or Nazi—
which tries to destroy the efforts
of those building this military
machine."

countries at war. The narrow
shouldered corporal. he said, "has
brought• war face•to-face with
America and it is time for us to
act."
,Speaking of veterans of past
wars, he said, "The veteran hates
war and knows more about it than
anyone else because he has been
at war."

Len Krouse Saves Day
For Unbeaten Gridders
Deprived of the untied tag after
l a 13-13 thriller with an aroused
I Syracuse football eleven, the still
undefeated Nittany Lions began
priming yesterday afternoon for
Saturday's clash with another un
predictable team, New York Uni
versity. The Violets tumbled
Franklin and Marshall from the
unbeaten ranks over the weekend.
Yesterday's practice was mar
red by a continuous downpour
which curtailed the outdoor ses
sion considerably. The Lions'
outlook was considerably bright
ened, however, by the possibility
that all injured players may be
ready for the battle with NYU.
Though the outcome of . the
Orange deadlock may be disap
pointing to State followers who
envisioned an all-victorious sea
son, the courageous comeback of
the Blue and White will long be
remembered by witnesses of the
nerve-racking tilt.
It . was Lenny Krouse's mira
culous pass receiving and Bill
Smaltz's accurate tossing that sav
ed the day for the State forces.
Twice the two backs colloborated
to pull the Lions out of a hole.
The first chance occurred in the
second period with only 50 sec
onds left when Krouse speared a
Smaltz toss on the two-yard stripe
and stepped over for the touch
down to tie the score at 6-6. Ben
Pollock's placement kick was
blocked.
The, Lions' second •touchdown
came in the waning moments of
the final quarter. Trailing 13-6
with only four minutes of play re
maining in the final quarter,
Smaltz threw a pass from the
Syracuse 43. Krouse appeared
hemmed in on all sides by Orange
defenders but he suddenly leaped
high in the air on the 15, grabbed
the ball and twisted his way to
the goal-line. Pollock's success
ful kick for" the extra point pro
vided the tying point.

Berlin Russian Premier-For
eign Commissar R. Molotov was
sent to Berlin last night to confer
with Adolf Hitler. The move is
thought to be a step toward the
joining of Russia with Axis pow
ers as the minister would not have
been sent for any matter of less
consequence. The entering of the
Russian power into the Axis fits
in with Hitler's plans in Rumania.
Hitler has stationed 1,000,000 men
near the Russian controlled Black
Sea.
