According to the Lion mentor,
the pitching stalls the team's-big
gest headache. "Of the six hurlers,
some have plenty of stuff but no
control, or. vice. versa."

the Lions pounded the Red. Raid
ers' pitchers for 17 hits and a 10-6
victory.

the performance of Artie Bohard,
17-year-old twirler from Frack

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.

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

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

a popping knee, for instance, and
a great many men have been turn
