SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1942 Softball Pitching The all-College softball cham pionship series coming up next week between the fraternity champion, Phi Delta Theta, and the Independent kingpin, the Canal St. Firehouse, will take on an aspect much like the World Series of the.past few years—Na tional League pitching versus Am erican League power. Only this time it will be Firehouse pitching and Phi Delt power. Canal St. Firehouse Here is a team that has been all pitchihg. There are few who dis pute that in Art Borsa the Canal St. team has the best kind of in surance •possible, that if the Phi pelt.s;carr be beaten Canal St. will be the piles to do it.

To further this end, which we feel is one of the most im portant now facing Penn State, we have many times devoted this column. All these efforts have not been in vain. Some steps in the right direction have been taken. Chief among these being the erec tion of a fine obstacle course, plans to cut out elective and "sugar coated" phys ed courses, and the sending out of a "feeler" from Dean Carl P. Schott to the other Deans. Purpose of this "feeler" was to suggest that freshman and sophomore gym classes be intensified and that juniors and seniors also be required to take conditioning work. We repeat, these are all fine moves. But time is very short. The semester will end in less than three weeks. If action is to be taken before next semester, it must be taken nowl Now, let's not have these well meant "feelers" die the way so many well meant projects do. Let's not have next semester get under way only to hear, "Well, we planned to have an intensified program to prepare the students for their role in the war effort. But there just wasn't time. We didn't get around to it until it was too late." There is time right now! The Phys Ed School Is Ready As stated by Dean Schott in yesterday's Daily Collegian, the Phys Ed School is ready to take over the conditioning of all four classes—freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. It takes no eq , ,ipment for calisthenic work. Phys ed majors could certainly be used if not enough regular instructors are available. We repeat, Dean Schott has stated that the Phys Ed School is ready for the job. He has sent out to the deans material proposing the much needed enlarged program. Of course we have no way of knowing whether these "feelers" have been returned or not. But wherever they are, let's not have them get lost in the shuffle. Next January Will Be Too Late Ycu say thit a vigorous conditioning .program will not appeal to the students, that they'll rebel. We say, sure they'll complain at first. We don't relish the thought of required physical workouts any more than the next fellow. But in the long run the student body will be glad for this training. When they run into the rigorous training of the Army or Navy, as they eventually will, they will have a helpful head start. If enough colleges in the country would give their students this head start it would also appreciably cut down the tittle and money it takes the government to convert a civilian into a service man, To us there seems no alternative. To prepare its students prop erly for the struggle just ahead of them, and equally important, to help justify its existence in these times, the College must go ahead with a mass physical fitness program. The time to take action is now! Next January will be too late!
