Needless to say, his family arid many friends'are great ly worried. One thing we're sure of, though. Gil Radcliff always ha'S and always will give the very best that's in him to his country and his best is very good. Good luck to. a fine fellow and great soldier. Another former Lion gridder "and veteran of the World War . has asked to be put back on active service in the= Army because he feels he ,could be of greater value there than in hts present capacity. If his offer is accepted, it will be Major Robert Higgins, and Penn State will lose a grand fellow and football coach. We've always had a great ad miration 'for the Hig because of his understanding.nature and abil ity to take the good with the bad Witt 3 -1 - complaining. Regardless of Bob's personal feelings on the Matter, we feel that he could be of equally valuable service right here' at Penn State as physical education professor and football coach.

Puckmen Idle; Frosh Meet Cubs A first class ice hockey outfit, an exceptionally tough schedule, but no ice—That is the situation fac ing Coach Art Davis whose boys have: gone almost two weeks with out a practice session. The only action seen by the puckmen since January 17 was their game with Georgetown last Saturday night in Washington. Al though they dropped this match by a 5-3 score, the Lions were adjudg ed "the strongest visiting colleg iate team" to play in Washington's Riverside Stadium thus far this season A tentative practice game with the Hershey Junior Cubs here this weekend Was called off because of a lack of ice. • "With- a doubleheader scheduled for next weekend against Cornell and Colgate and-no practice Saciji ties available prospects look very black," said Coach Davis yesterday.

The Military Academy has Black, since team rivalry began in won only two games in four starts 1916. while Coach John Lawth'er's pro teges have emerged on the long end of the count in six of their first eight encounters. The Cadets will hold an ad vantage, however, in playing on their own floor, and will also have the incentive to gain re venge for last season's 31-27 set back at the hands of the Penn State five. After the 10-day layoff, the Lions will again pose as an "un known quantity." In the last two games, the Nittanymen were cold at West Virginia and then hot at Pitt the following night. Just how well they will work against the Cadets today may de- Vend considerably on how well the Lions will be able to make up for the absence 'of their sopho more standout, Dave Hornstein. Hornstein did not accompany the team when •they left for West Point yesterday, and his injured ankle also may cause him' to be held from action in the crucial Temple game in Philadelphia's Convention Hall Saturday night. Following the Army game this afternoon, the Lawthermen will return to State College on a "sleeper" tonight, instead of go ing directly to Philadelphia for the Temple clash. Against the Cadets, Coach Law ther intends to start Larry Gent and Co-captain Elmer Gross at the forward slots. Both players showed plenty of fire in the Pitt game and were two of the "main reasons" why Penn State was able to overcome the Panthers' 20-9 lead and finally win out by a close 34-30 verdict. Herk Baltimore, .who has prob ably been the most consistent player this season, will hold down the center berth. At the guard positions, Lawther will start Bob Ramin and Co-captain Dick Grimes. Halpin Cults Ring For Uncle Sam Penn State's boxing forces suf fered a sTrious blow yesterday when it was learned that Bob Hal= pin, varsity heavyweight fighter and football player has left col lege and expects to join up with Uncle Sam in the near.future. Halpin has only participated in one meet. He was KO'ed by Sig Jensen of Western Maryland as the Nittany Lions downed the Green Terrors 4 1 / 2 -3 1 / 2 in the opening en counter of the year. • Despite the setback, Coach Leo Houck thought the heavyweight showed promise. Through his as sociation with Fritzie Zivic in Pittsburgh, Halpin picked up some of the middleweight's style. The good doctor may have some trouble in filling the gap in the un limited division. Harry Masler, who gained some varsity exper ience last year, may report for the squad if he does not practice teach at the beginning of this semester. Another possibility would be to move 'Nick Ranieri, present 175- pounder, into the vacant slot and use Carl Maier or Joe McCormick at 175. BUY DEFENSE STAMPS AND BONDS Will Clash Five Today As they seek their ninth tri umph, the Penn State wrestlers may find themselves facing a line up including five old opponents who were largely responsible for upsetting a favored Lion team last season, 14-12. John Blake of Princeton deci sioned Joe Valla last year, 7-4,• in the 175-pound class and will seek to repeat against Bob Morgan this year. Another Tiger 'threat acquainted with Nittany wrestling is Herb Van Brewer who was decisioned by Clair Hess last year but who has gained much experience and fin esse in preparation for . his meet with Charlie Ridenour. With the graduation of depend able Frank Gleason the Penn State team lost a sure bout winner over 136-pound Gene Taylor since the Nittany captain outpointed Taylor 12-6. This year, however, Taylor is gunning for a Lion skin. Bart Robbins, heavyweight who pinned Kerns with a bar arm and chancery, and Bob 'Feldmeier, 145- pounder who decisioned Glen Al exander last season, are exper ienced in upsetting Nittany hopes, Although the Lion grunt-and groaners relinquished three team meets to the Tigers, they did so by close margins. In 1937 when the first match was dropped it was by a two-point edge, in 1938 the edge was four points, and in 1941 the margin was again only two points. Ski Trail Offers Many Facilities Although many student skiers have frequented the Penns Valley Ski Center this season, a large per centage of the student body has failed to take advantage of the nets winter sports facilities there this year.
