THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1942 Between The Lines By A. DONIS 141111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 For a long time now we've been looking at the men on this campus. What we've seen has been pretty horrible. Probably there has nev er been such a conglomeration of worn-out looking males gathered together in one place. And to think the Army is clam oring for them! There still may be a ray of hope over Mt. Nittany,. though. Dean Schott and his boys are trying like .mad to make the men around here take phys ed for all four (or how ever many) years of college. It won't be• any of this elective stuff like they've had for years, with the chief activity and sport being to stagger to the designated place and try to kid somebody into .believing you've spent Three hours working out. gust picture the brawny speci mens that will be parading around campus soon, if this proposed measure goes through. It really ought to be wonderful. While reflecting on the future of Penn State, we may as well go in for a few sports' predictions. 01 course, we don't want to get our hopes up too high, but having seen the men and women phys ed, majors playing games together, it really would seem that our boys will have a good chance on the gridiron this Fall. Look at the competition. they've been practic ing with. It certainly does our hearts good to think of the coming , football season. Coach Higgins' boys have really been putting up the old fight for .the past few'years, and we predict —although we aren't absolutely sure—that for Penn State, THIS IS THE YEAR. P.S.—Of course, there is always 'the possibility that Uncle Sam might find himself lacking a few guards, fullbacks, and some of those other guys on his own team. But, we'll keep our fingers crossed, won't we? AOPi Wins First Place On 'Wheel Of Fortune' With five teams participating in 50 water events, Alpha- Omicron Pi won first place in WRA Swim ming Club's "Wheel of Fortune" Fun Night last night when they surpassed the Independent team by one point to break a tie score.

Netmen Trounce Cornell, i• 8-I, In Season's Finale Varsity tennis wound up with a bang when Coach Roethke's Charges let loose and trounced Cornell, 8-1, for the first time in Penn State-Cornell tennis history. NAaturday's post season game with the faculty, postponed because of rain, will take place on the var sity courts at 2 p. m. Just Another WAAC —One of the 700 or more young women now in training at Women's Army Auxiliary Corps headquarters, Fort Des Muines, lowa. Besides the regular WAAC uniform shown above, women are outfittted with fatigue Uniform's in which they practice calisthenics. Coeds Mi l , Hear 'To The Rear H-a Colonel Ardery Claims Military Training Good By SALLY L. HIRSHBERG One, two, three, four—get in step, girls—right-.--left—to the rear h—arch—company halt And Penn State's first "woman's rotis see squadron halted—or did they? Believe it or not, this might be the situation a few months from now as Colonel Edward C. Ardery, head of the department of Penn State Military Sdience and tactics, and "the girls" may soon get to gether over the WAAC situation. With more and more women be ing drawn by the call of the bugle to Fort Des Moines, lowa, for training in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, there is a possi bility of pre-WAAC training being installed on campus. An investigation, in the form of correspondence to Washington and WAAC headquarters at Fort Des Moines, is now being carried on by Miss ,Julia.. G. Brill, associate professor of English composition. • Backing up this investigation is the fact that several outstanding coed leaders have expressed their intention of enlisting in the WAACS upon graduation while others have shown_ increasing in terest. •Honest to Gash, coeds, if you're free and independent, desire thor• ough training, love, excite ment, want to serve your country, and have free use of the mails—. you're a WAAC(y). Qualifications are 'age-21 to 45, height-5 feet to 6 feet, weight -114 to 171 pounds. 'They are even accepting heavyweights, and guar antee to produce a streamlined chassis and a new spring in the step. 'Course you have to be healthy, too. The value of establishing pre- WAAC training would,be to pre pare coeds, in a minor way, for en listment. Besides, COlonel Ardery says—military methods and dis cipline are excellent training for women as well as men in peace and war time. All kidding aside, creation of the WAACS has been the biggest honor and is the biggest responsi bility ever accepted by women in the country's history. The organi zation must be made so good that it will forever establish women's rights for similar legislation and trusts. Only women' can make it so. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Command mil', 1-2-3-4 Gridiron Stars Make Smooth Apples at Summer Skirmishes By E. ANN FISHER '45 What the well-dressed football player will don for Summer wear is displayed by Coach Bob Hig gins' young prodigies at New Beaver Field each week day eve ning between the hours of 7 and 9. The favored style seems to be shorts, varying between a splotch ed white to a slightly streaked gray shade, topped by some sort of jersey with smartly padded shoulders. Footwear includes black spiked shoes and white socks, al though one pigskin carrier favors originality with a stripe of red on one of his anklets. Bob Brooks is smooth in an orange sweater with an off-the shoulder drape to the right allow ing his leather pad to peek through. A deep wine jersey is favored by End Van Lenten. Long tails come down over his shorts in front and back. Lou Palazzi cen ters the "apple" in bright fresh man green. Cliff St. Clair models a paler green diverting here and there to chartruese. Something resembling a bathing suit with sleeves is worn by Mike Kearns. His shorts peep through below. The boys spend most of their time running into things. A few of the lads stand at various points of the field with sacks (like the kind piled against buildings in air raids). Then some of the others, chanting a hepcattish sound of "Hey! Hey! Hey!" as they go, run smack-bang into them and leave them—holding the bag. The favorite plaything (outside of the ball) is a contraption called a grid machine or "sled." The object seems to be, for a player to run to wards it as fast as he can see if he can hit a pad of the WPB's No. 1 priority (rubber) with a certain portion of his shoulder. Then he proceeds to try to shove it to the other side .of the gridiron. The evening's entertainment ends with races. Dave Alston, Lou Palazzi, Van Lenten, and Bob Per ugini are the star track men with Cliff St. Clair and Bob Brooks finishing close behind.

Jeffrey Looks Forward To Good Soccer Season Soccer poach Bill Jeffrey, al though depressed by the loss of three ace men and crossing his fingers to beat the draft bugaboo, is looking forward to a season comparable to last year's.

TO PLACE A WANT AD DIAL 711 AND ASK FOR ...ae 2)a4 Collegian PAGE THREE Davis' Frafemily Men Prefer Not To Predict By ALICE R. FOX '45 In a mighty battle between the Canal Street Firehouse and the Sports Editor's fraternity, Phi Del ta Theta, mushball boys, scheduled for the golf course at 6:15 tonight, it might be decided which team will have its picture printed in The Daily Collegian. We say it might be decided be cause this game, which is called mushball because it is played with what is a soft ball comp'ared to a baseball, is the second in a series of three of which the hose men won the first. If they win the sec ond there will be only one left which even if it were flayed and the Phi Delts won it they still couldn't win the title. The title, we might add, is the All-College championship which will be • offered the winner as a secondary incentive. It is called an All-College championship be cause it is played between the fra ternity champion and the indepen dent champion, which are respec tively Davis' fraternity and the Canal Street Firehouse. In the first game, which took place on the same golf course (Penn State has only one), which has a diamond, which is simply a square viewed diagonally, the firemen won with a•score of 18-6, since they had the 18. The man who throws the ball for the Canal boys, or ,the pitcher as he is called in baseball and mushball circles, is Art Borsa. He is also called Zippo because he, wears a Zippo shirt We called up the manager of the teams last night to see what they thought of the idea of having the winning team's picture published in The Daily Collegian. IMr. John Silan, who is a short stop and the guiding hand of the hose haulers, is very retiring and modest. When we coaxed him a little he whispered coyly, "If we win, all you have to do is take a picture of Borsa and Silan. We run the whole team." We thought it was very generous of him to include Mr. Borsa. :Mr. John Quailey, Phi Delt man ager and shortstop, declined to make an official statement about prospects. In regard to the poten tial picture, "I think his team would photograph much better if they could hold Zippo (he calls Borsa Zippo because he's known him a long time) down long enough to shave him," he said.
