and olans on conserving his squad
as much as possible for the rough
road ahead.
Formerly second in total de
fense, the Lions dropped to eighth
With an average of 150.5 yards
yielded per game. In rushing de
fense the Blue and White stayed
in the battle with an average
yield of 49 yards per game for
second place, while Wyoming,
with 35.3, took first place.
Bernie Custis and ms Syracuse
Oranges passed the Fenn State
team right out of the passing de
fense ratings. Last week the
Lions led in this department
while their opponents, West Vir
ginia, placed second in pass de
fense.
Key to the Mountaineer aerial
attack is Jimmy Walthall, rated
one of the best passers in the
country. Walthall’s pnysical con
dition is a matter of grave con
cern in the West Virginia camp.
After hurting his knee last
spring in practice, the Princeton,
W. Va., flinger underwent surg
ery last May on his leg and was
in the starting lineup foi the first
four games. Just after th Mounts
lost last week's game, a 16-6 de
cision to Pittsburgh, reports that
Walthall was “shaken up” eman
ated from the Mountaineer re
treat.
A few days later the reports
stated that the passing ace was
“badly battered,” and Thursday
he was described as nursing a:
badly-wrenched shoulder. |
To try to fill the gap left by
Walthall, Coach Dud DeGroot
will send sophomore Bill Allen
into the quarterback spot with
experienced Russ Combs, who
gained 481 yards in 60 pass at
tempts last year, ready to go in to
spell Allen.
The Mountaineers arrived at
State College yesterday morning
and after an afternoon warm-up
on the Nittany field, set up head
quarters at Bellefonte.
Football

By Clarice Lunch
This tip is strictly for girls.
We know many people, impor
tant people, who would be quite
pleased if you brushed up on
your football. Your escort doesn’t
consider it funny when he dis
covers that you think a block is
nothing more than a child's toy.
He’d really be pleased if you
could distinguish the “T” fram
the single wing.
It isn’t at all difficult; if you
can pass a college course, you can
easily pick up the fundamentals
of football. You’ll be surprised
how much more exciting a game
can be when you really know
what’s going on and why.
Of course, it’s always interest
ing to know what’s happening to
the ball during a football game,
but many people miss some of the
best plays of the day by constant
ly watching the ball.
You see some of the greatest
plays in football while looking at
the men who don’t even touch the
ball.
Football all over the country
should improve with the advent
of cooler weather. The men on
the field usually make a better
showing when the mercury drops
somewhere below baseball weath
er.
Unofficial statistics indicate that
more players are injured on the
warm days, but more spectators
suffer from frostbite on the colder
days.
So girls, why not dig out those
knee length stockings? There’s
nothing like them for keeping the
feet warm, and, just as impor
tant, Dame Fashion has decided
they are the right thing for grid
iron wear this season.

Nittany Soccermen
Encounter Middies
The Lions, out to scuttle the Navy, square off against Middie
soccer forces at Annapolis this morning.
Seeking their third victory of the current booting campaign, the
Jeffreymen meet a battle-hardened foe in the Midshipmen.
The mdn from Annapolis opened their season with a 2-2 dead
lock against Cornell, then lost a 2-1 verdict to Penn but bounded
back to defeat North Carolina,
2-0, and two days ago handed
Gettysburg a smarting 5-0 set
back.
A victory today would be sweet
revenge for the Smiling Scot.
Coach Bill Jeffrey, oecause two
seasons ago Navy, on a fluke goal,
tied the Lions, 1-1, and last sea
son they outscored the Nittany
men, 2-1.
BRUISING
“We’ll have to outsmart chem at
their own game. Both service
teams have big bruising squads
and play aggressive ball but if
we are smart we’ll outplay them
with sharp passes and accurate
shooting,” said Jeffrey shortly be
fore the team entrained for Balti
more. last night.
After the game today the Lions
will be guests of the U. S. Naval
Academy for the Navy-Missouri
football encounter.
Jeffrey thinks he has an “iron
man” team this season. In their
opening victory against Army ten

Women like you keep our Army and our Air
Force in the best physical condition in the
world. Graduate nurses, dietitians, physical
and occupational therapists are tremendously
important to our Army and Air Force at home
or overseas, for it would be impossible to
operate efficiently without the helpful care of
women skilled in those fields.
As a Medical Department dietitian, you will
probably first be assigned to a large station
hospital to assist with the hospital food service.
There, and everywhere in the Services, you
will find rotation of assignments. Physical and
occupational therapists will work with the most
modern equipment in treating a wide range
of patients, gradually helping them regain
physical and mental health. Army nurses and
Flight nurses are trained to handle a great
variety of cases, and are given opportunity to
specialize according to their interests.
But whatever your specialty, you will have
the prestige of a highly respected profession
and the excitement which goes with a military
career. Wherever you go, your uniform and
insignia will be the mark of a noble and re
warding position. You will have the income,
privileges, and friendship of officers everywhere.
You will be recognized as one of a chosen few
in the Army Nurse Corj>s or the Women’s
Medical Specialist Corps.
