Neyhari Trains Army Operators AmOs E. Neyhart, College road training expert, is now teaching the Army how to properly oper ate motor vehicles. On duty at Fort Francis E.

Especially designed for the Army, the course was drawn up by 'Mr. Neyhart with the assistance of Dr. F. R. Noff singer, educational consultant of the. American Automobile Asso ciation. It's the Old Army Game Comrades apply "hot foot," a favorite 'amOng"the soldiers for its lac'gh producing qualities, to sleeping buddy while on the move with 'Unc:e Sam's Army. Even top sergeants relax occasionally to enjoy the sport, as can be seen in the above picture. Discipline. is relaxed when the new U. S. Army travels. —NEA Telephoto Sings, Too With DON DAVIS illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Two Purpose Program Many of Penn State's football players have been lost to the team via the draft in the last several months-17 to be exact. Now don't get any mistaken impres sions. We're not be-moaning the fact that these boys will be serv ing in the armed forces rather than on the gridiron. But we do feel that these boys could have been kept on the squad and at the same time carry out the real pur pose of the government's. war time man power program. This could have been accom plished by making sure that all qualified football men were en listed in some officer reserve program. Programs that have been set up by the armed services for the explicit purpose of keep ing college men (itlen suited for officer work) in college until graduation. The government feels that this college education is a necessary part of officer training. We feel that someone has neglect ed this task of urging football players with the proper qualifi cations to join one of the various enlisted reserve programs. Other colleges (Penn State's opponents among them) have done just this. You are probably asking your self: "Why should lootball play ers get any special consideration? Why isn't it just as important that any college student be urged to enlist in these reserve pro grams, thus permitting him to finish college and at the same time prephre for officer work?" We answer that it is equally as important for any student at Penn State to have this advice and to make these moves. How ever, this happens to be a sports column and the most obvious factor on the sporting front right now is football. Football Continues '44 Prom Committee 'NO Said Will Meet Today General plans for the Junior Prom and sugdestiOns of orches tras will be discussed in a meet ing of the Junior From . committee in the second floor lounge of Old Main, Wednesday, at 7 p. m., ac cording to an announcement by the Froth chairman, Harry C. Coleman. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiilluniiiiiiillimillimin Between The Lions ' • •4;:4 • tJ,I6" • ;4; Then, too, there is the angle that football is going to continue this Fall despite the war. Maybe next Fall we won't have. much, but while it's still with us, it is comparatively important that Penn State put to the field a re presentative squad; or in other words, a good squad. As long as we continue football and as long as we agree to meet oppos ing teams, we feel that every ef fort should be made to make this team as good as possible. And we repeat that the enlist ing of these players in officer re serves not only accomplishes this purpose but also carries out the goVernment's plan for educating prospective officer material. So we suggest that•Nin the future the suitable persons connected with football or the Phys Ed School take it upon themselves to not only urge but follow up closely the enlistment of football men. Tests Uniform Faculty members of the School of Agriculture are conducting examinations somewhat uniform ly as a result of a report mailed to each instructor.

Chuck, crowned IM Independ ent Singles champ on Tuesday, again came through to spark the McGill-Ralph Yerger team to the IM Independent Doubles Cham pionship yesterday afternoon. Strangely enough, the final match was again a short victory with the Thompson-Jaquist com bine bowing out of the picture, 6-2, 6-2, the same score that brought McGill his singles title. Thompson and Jaquist, out standing in their own play, were unable to stand the strain. of com peting against the unusually well balanced opponents. A third championship will 'be determined sometime today when Bob Scheirer and Johnny Jackson make their bid to join the IM Tennis Hall of Fame in the finals of the Fraternity Singles tour nament. . Scheirer, who haS also been serving in the capacity of tour nament manager, lacks the im pressive record of his rival, but is expected to be a strong con tender for the title. Jackson, wearing the colors of the Beta Theta Pi stables, has re corded upset wins over the 1941 champ, Lenny Joseph, and dark horse Hank Jeter, of whom much was expected, when he scored a victory over Joseph early in the tournament. Four teams remain in the run ning for the Fraternity Doubles throne as a result of the Erwin- Watkins defeat at the hands of Reese and Miller yesterday. Reese and Miller, who won by a 6-2, 6-4 score, will meet Fres coln and Stevens in a semi-finals match today. To date, Frescoln and Stevens have been undefeated and they are expected to extend their streak in today's encounter. If they lose, they , will have to play a second match. Double elimination rules state that no entrant is out of the tournament until he has lost two matches. Weather conditions permitting, the remaining teams may be able to terminate tournament play by Saturday. Squads still active in clude the Jeter-Culp and Yeagley- Scheirer duets.

PAGE THREE Impatient Gridders Refuse Vacation, Hold In Draft boards may snatch their teammates, and formal practices . may be cancelled for the duration of the Summer semester, but a dozen or more of Bob Higgins' gridders just can't sit back and take a vacation. Since the middle of last week when regular sessions were can celled, the nucleus of the 1942 football team have been "practic ing on their own." Passing games and a little of the "touch type" of play have found popularity with the boys on New Beaver Field. Last week the fellows wei►e without coaching supervision, and, as one of the prospective players put it: "We just play until we can't play any longer—it's great fun." Since then, however, a member of the coaching staff makes it his point to be on hand to assist his impatient charges. B OM S FOR • RENT For One Light, Cheerful Double Room, See Mrs. Green, 426 E.
