We sat in Rec Hall yesterday, and listened to the same ,man, now a gray-haired football coach approaching fifty, as he reminisced of his few short months abroad. The parallel drawn between those flag-waving days of 1917 and :the .same tension existing among us today• brought about the painful discussion of war. Bob Higgins recalled vividly that spring of a generation ago, when he and thousands of other young _ Americans began their crusade : to make the world safe for democracy. - The AEF- that year boasted of more fainous athletes than all -the campuses. No less a person :age than the celebrated Grover Cleveland Alexander pitched for - the—Hig's baseball outfit and there were enough All-Ameri cans ,on the football team cap '-twined by Bob to make even the • Notre . Dame alumni envious. .1917 And 1941 - But all that is history belong ing..to the last generation. Today .we .are face to face with the same future and years of careful planning are tossed out of the Window with the drawing of a - numbered slip of paper. Gone from our football lineup . will be . names such as Mike Gar- binski, Sparky Brown, Leon • .Frketich, Cap Bailey and a host _of other Nittanymen who will - ,tiade in their Blue and White - Uniforms for Uncle Sam's dough boy outfits. What will happen to Penn _State's athletic .future if all able - bodied students are called to col ors? The answer probably is, who eares?• In . place of the brawny athletes will be young ; ..kids, filling in for their bigger brothers who are playing the more gruesome game of war. Or are we still kidding ourselves that it will be all over tomor row. Probably two or three years from,nolV, when the dark clouds will haye lifted, veterans of the gridiron and Flanders Field will return to Penn State and give us the same great teams we had in 1920, 1921 and 1922. What a price to pay for a few- touch downs which at the most afford one a few pleasant moments of FORDHAM UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW New YOrk CASE SYSTEM Three-Year Day Course Four-Year Evening Course co-educational Membap.,Of:the Association of American Law Schools College Degree or Two Yea . rs of College -Work With Good Grades -.11 - giattive,d for Entrance Transcript of Record.

Courtmen Face Diplomats Today After meeting a trio of the East's leading net squads, Penn, Cornell, and Navy, in their last three encounters, the Lion court men will have a slight breather this afternoon when they face Franklin and Marshall's Diplo mats on the varsity courts at 4 p. m. Although F & M is far from a push-over, Coach Ted Roethke expects his squad to again break into the win column after having dropped their last.three matches. Captain Mac Weinstein will be at No. 1 for the Lions followed by sophomore Don Parker, vet eran -Del Hughes, and Chuck Bowman. Although the last two 'singles .spots are indefinite, the following men complete the Nit tany • squad: John Knode, Bill Lundelius, Don Davis and Gil Feldman. - The Lion's match with Buck nell, previously rained out, has been rescheduled for next Thurs day, May 22, and will, be played on- the varsity courts, it was an nounced by manager Carl De- Long. lion Trackman Leave For Syracuse Meet When Coach Chick Werner's squad of 24 trackmen leaves for Syracuse at noon it will be to face the strongest track team that the Orange thinclads have had for many years. Undefeated in competition with Syracuse since he started coaching here, Werner is not so sure that this record will be in tact when the , Nittany Lions leave the Syracuse cinders to morrow afternoon. In their only dual meet to date the Orange squad trounced Colgate, 86-49. Lynn Radcliff is expected to be as outstanding in his distance events for the Orange as will be Barney Ewell in the spring events for the Lions. Besides be ing a great half-miler, Radcliff was third in the IC4-A mile run. The pole vault competition should be very close with Bob Erbe, a consistent 13-foot jumper, entered for Syracuse against Penn State's record holder, Joe Bakura. Joe topped 13 feet 5 inches last week against Army to set his new Lion record. Let Us Solve Your MILE PROBLEM With Pure. Wholesome Mille J. C. MEYER MILK R. D. 1 Phone 4220 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Lion Baseballers Face Muhienberg Al Home Today Coach Joe Bedenk's varsity diamondmen, given a day to re cover from their 19-5 defeat by the Pitt Panthers on Wednesday, face the Muhlenberg baseballers on Beaver Field at 4 o'clock this afternoon in an attempt to raise their win record to five games. With yesterday's practice cut short by rain and a wet diamond, the Lions were unable to put in a full batting session. Nittany pit chers were limited to short warm-up spells. Chuck Medlar, Ed Tuleya, and Bob Robinson did most of the twirling and the chances are that either right hander Medlar or southpaw Tul eya will be on the mound when the Bedenkmen take the field against the Mules today. Bob Perugini, a football player who has only been practicing with the baseball team for two weeks, will make his home debut in right field, Perugini starred against the Panthers Wednesday, smashing out three singles in five trips to the platter and playing errorless ball. On one occasion he threw out a Pitt batter at first base on a right field liner that looked like a sure single. Although the Lions lost to Pitt by.a convincing score, their work at the plate in banging out 11 hits showed definite promise of a re covery from the 4 hit set-backs suffered at the hands of Navy and Syracuse on last week's road trip. Left fielder Peany Gates, bat ting below the .250 mark early in the season, has collected seven safeties in the last three games. First baseman Bill Debler, lead ing Lion at the plate, smashed out a single and a double against Pitt to recover from his batting slump in which he failed to hit safely on last week's trip. Cap tain Eddie Sapp, at second base, has begun to hit recently after his early season weakness at the platter. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Intramurals .11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 TENNIS Intramural tennis d o u,b 1e s matches in the fraternity league, cancelled because of rain, must be played the day following the originally scheduled time and on the scheduled courts, manager Lloyd Dixon announced last night.

Gene Nev ill, who took 21 points against Cornell Saturday, is again ex pected to be high scorer for the yearlings. FOR QUICK RESULTS WHETHER BUYING Collegian Classified Column Stickmen Meet Cornell Al Ithaca Penn State's varsity lacrosse team will leave this morning for Ithaca, N. Y., where they face a powerful Cornell ten this after noon. Tomorrow, they tackle a top-notch Hobart stick outfit at Geneva. Coach Nick Thiel's probable starting lineup will have Mort Saler at the goal-tending post, Johnny McHugh and Jim Got walls at the points, and Bill Zieg enfus and Jimmy Ritter at the defense positions. Veteran Al Blair will be at center field again, Mark Singley —after a brief sojourn on the sick list—will hold down the second attack berth, sophomore Bobby Koch will be at first at tack, and Jimmy Riddell and Captain Bud Dattlebaum take over the home positions again. The Lion stickmen will be fac ing a team of unknown quality when they meet the Big Red Ten. Coach Van Orman's boys have bowed to Syracuse, Princeton, and Hobart—all high-powered la crosse aggregations by close scores. Last year, State edged out Cornell, 7-6, on a snow covered field. Hobart's high scoring stickmen, however, will make plenty of trouble for the Nittanymen. Dur ing the past three years of inter collegiate competition, the Gen evamen have lost only two games —to Syracuse and Navy. Eugene H. Lederer REAL ESTATE 114 E.
