THE COLLEGIAN Veteran Dibeler Bows Out of Collegiate Track A former Penn State athlete, Dick Stouffer, will lead a strong Cornell track team against the Nittany Lions at New Beaver field at 2 p.m. tomorrow as Coach George Harvey's boys make their first appearance of the summer se mester. . The meet will also mark the last performance of Track Captain Johnny Meier. The star runner reached the peak of his career last weekend when he wore the quarter mile run at the Middle Atlantic AAU• track and field champion ships. The Cornell squad is supposed to be a well-balanced team with a. number of good toys. However, Coach Harvey believes he can win if his Lion squad comes through in the field. Harvey is banking on Dave Pin cus to cop the discus. The big civilian student also took a Middle Atlantic AAU title at Reading last week. Frank Rainear hopes to take his three favorites at the match. Against Colgate at the end of last semester Rainear"scored a triple win in both hurdles arid the broad jump: Dick MCCown• also intends to Win the dashes in which he competes. . A newcomer, Charley Sullivan, is expeCted to see action torribrrOW for the Lions. The Marine Arainee first achieved attention at Sacrt mentt Junior College"iii 1941 , when he•.captained: the National Juriiitt chaMpionShip • team .' He also did the high jump, high hurdles, low hurdles, and anchoted the Mile re= lay team. - • Coach Harvey may use a num ber of freshmen hi the first meet of the summer 'season.. Seine di ie standouts are Jim Robinson, George :Rutter, Dorris Toler, and Negley Norton. In addition to Stouffer, Cornell has several headliners. One of them is Milt Smith, half mile rec ord holder. The squad also con tains navy-marine trainees. The meet 'begins at 2 p.m. The Penn State-Bloomsburg baseball game starts at 2:30. Obstacle Course Is Testing Ground The obstacle course is used by scores of V-12 students, Army trainees, and civilians each week. Here the physical education de partment has a testing ground of their gym and field work. Though many people are under the impression that the men are just told to cover the course, ,the physical education department teaches the best way to go over the obstacles. This helps men when they enter the combat branches since they do not have to undergo the rugged training the Army courses present to a new man. The course itself was built in the spring of 1944. It is 450 yards . long and consists of 'l6 obstacles. The average man, after being taught the tricks of the obstacles can run the course in two min utes. and ten seconds. The obstacles may be grouped into four classes. One group re quires the trainee to scale it, the second group can be hurdled; the third must be walke.d with the hands; and the fourth group con sists of sundry conglomerate ob stacles. • The group of obstacles which present the most difficulty are, surprisingly enough, not the lon gest nor the highest. The third classification provides the most difficult. obstacles.. The depart ment believes that this is pr. of of the fact that most men are weak in the arms and shoulders. • , 0 j ir &A s I! ) Aggr Ar. .• The Army of 5,000,000 By • Whitney Martin, AP writer "There is much concern over the fact that nearly 5,000,000 young men in this country have been found unfit for the armed forces, and plans are under way to remedy this apparent evidence of decadence with emphasis to be placed on physical conditioning. "Now five million men are a lot of men, but personally we wouldn't get too alarmed over the figure until we know why the can didates were turned down. That is, we'd like to see a break-down of the reasons for the rejections be fore making the general statement that our young men are under exercised and overfed. "Just because a man is turned down by the examining physicians does not mean he hasn't taken care of his physical being and is suffering from lack of exercise, for some of our best athletes have been rejected. "A pfogram of exercise isn't go ing to fix a punctured eardrum or a popping knee, for instance, and a great many men have been turn ed down for just •such reasons—. reasians that might be traced to violent exercise. "Maybe a doctor could go in there with Soldering iron and fix up the eardrum, or do a little Whittling on the knee, if the trou ble .vas discovered in time, hilt the Net refitains 'such rejection's 'can't 136 - indined -on the apathy df the rejei.ted 'Man taivoxd exerbiSir.

"Yet they met the rigid service requirements, while many of their exercising brothers have been turned down. For that reason it would be well to discover the per centage of rejected who were turned down for reasons not re lated to exercise before becom ing alarmed at the idea that we are a nation of pampered souls."
