THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Chuck McGill Wins IM
Crown In Independent
Penn Shows No
Fear Of Draft
A rather powerful argument for
nullifying the freshman football
rule happened by chance to come
through the mails yesterday from
of all places, the Univeraity of
Pennsylvania the one opponent
above all others that Bob Higgins
and company would like to defeat
this year.
The argument came in the form
of a "dope sheet" titled "Informa-:
tion of Personnel of Squad,
Coaches, and History of Football
at the University of. Pennsyl
vania."
Narrowing the identification of
the argument down a little more,
on page 9 of the dope sheet we
found under the heading "Tenta
tive 1942 Varsity Football Squad,"
the rather startling fact that
George Munger and cohorts have
not been in the least affected by
the long arms of mischievious
draft boards.
Quite to the contrary, Munger
will have at least 46 veterans of
varsity and freshman football back
with which to start the forthcom
ing season.
Among the bruisers returning,
are no less than .19 lettermen from
last year's great squad. Add to
this 16 freshman numeral winners,
and a dozen guys named Joe and
you have quite a squad.
About this time you should be
saying—maybe some of them will
be drafted before November 14.
Oh no they won't. Mr Munger
and staff have shown a little fore
thought and have placed exactly
44 of the 46 members of his squad
in some sort of enlisted reserve
program.
A rough scanning of the list
finds 6 of the U. of P. huskies in
the Navy V-7 deferred-to-gradu
ation plan, another 13 have found
their way into the Reserve Ma
rine Corps, 9 more are waiting for
graduation while enlisted in Ad
•vanced ROTC, and the remainder
of the sauad are scattered through
out the Navy V-1, V-5 and Civil
ian Aviation Corps. All are sure
to near the whistle in Franklin
Field, November 14. •
Bob Higgins has lost 20 fellows
—l7 to the armed forces. Quite
a few other Lions nave received
questionaires from their draft
boards.
Many are using the argument
that we shouldn't waive the fresh
man rule because Penn and Pitt
haven't.
It has been pointed out that Pitt
is trying to get in the Big Ten,
which frowns on freshman compe
tition.
The abiive evidence should be
rather conclusive proof why Penn
doesn't have to fall back on first
year men.
Chevrons worn by non-commis
sioned officers of the U. S. Marine
Corps have always pointed up
ward.

Upperclass Phys Ed
Program Plans Still
Tentative—Schott
Whether or not the optional
Physical Education course for
juniors and ' seniors will carry
with it College credits has not yet
been decided, according to Dr.
Carl P. Schott, dean of the Physi
cal Education and Athletics
School.
Dean Schott stated that this
will be determined after the
School forms definite plans for
the program and it will depend
on whether or not the new course
is included on the School's list of
elective courses.
However, he stated that- if the
course carries credit with it, it
will be conducted as a regular
class with marks given and cer
tain required work. If the
course is set up as a purely op
tional one, it will be up to upper
classmen to report at their own
will, with work also of an option
al nature.
At the present time a proposal
is before the various deans to
separate the required hygiene
course for freshmen and sopho
mores from the required physi
cal education program. Under
this new plan the underclassmen
would have three hours weekly
of actual activity for one credit
and they would also be required
to take a one credit, one hour per
week hygiene course.
Schqtt stated that the hygiene
course would be considerably
stiffened over the present one,
since its academic .value would be
increased by about three times.
Players Plan Program
For Inifiaies Tomorrow
The Penn State Players will
hold initiation ceremonies for ac
tive and associate members in the
Little Theatre tomorrow night.
All new members must reply no
later than today at the Dramatics
Office, Schwab Auditorium, and
all bills must be paid, Joanne Pal
mer '43, president, announced.
Following the initiation, an in
formal dinner will be held: All
old active . members are asked to
report to the Little Theatre at
5:30 p. m. tomorrow, where elec
tion of new officers will take
place, according to Robert H.
Herrmann '44, secretary.
During the American Revolu
tion, non-commissioned officers of
the U. S. Marine Corps were dis
tinguished by epaulettes.

Singles
Play
Defeats Dick Adams
In Short Sets, 6-1, 6-2
Chuck McGill was crowned
'champ of the 1942 Intramural In
dependent Tennis Singles' tourna
ment yesterday when he defeated
finalist Dick Adams in two
straight and short sets, 6-2, 6-2.
McGill, early favorite of the
few followers of the tournament
from the start, played his usual
superior 'brand of ball in every
department to quickly and deci
sively eliminate his rival.
The singles champ, also a final
ist in the Independent Doubles
tournament, teams up with Ralph
Yerger tomorrow afternoon in
meeting the Thompson-Jaquist
duo for the doubles championship.
Again, the duet sparked by Mc-
Gill, is expected to walk off with
top honors.
Strong competition was expect
ed from the Dick Adams-Lou
Vargo combination until Vargo
was drafted, forcing the team to
drop out of the running.
Bab Scheirer, Phi Delt's bid to
fame and glory, defeated Phi
Gam's Cal Erwin to move up to
the finalist's bracket in IM Fra
ternity Singles. play.
Scheirer's competition, Beta
Johnny Jackson, has a more im
pressive record, having already
notched victories on his racquet
over last year's champ Lenny
Joseph and Hank Jeter, the only
other player to win over Joseph.
In the finals, which are likely
to be played tomorrow afternoon,
Scheirer is expected to put up a
strong battle in spite of a strik
ing record.
Weather conditions during the
past week have lessened the pos
sibilities of completing Frater
nity Doubles matches within the
few days before the end of the
Summer semester. However, with
complete cooperation from the
five teams remaining, there is a
plight possibility
. of terminating
flay before Saturday.
It may be necessary to play
twice in one day, thus making it'
useless to schedule matches in the
Collegian. All scheduling will be
made over the phone by IM Ten
nis Tournament Manager Bob
Scheirer.
