Still, the three-platoon system has proved its worth at Army and Penn State scout Sever Toretti, who scouted Army in' all three of its games, has warned the Lions to be wary of Dietzeel's tactics. "ARMY EXERTS tremendous pressure With its three platoons," Toretti said. "Those three units are aggressive, well-conditioned, hard-hitting and nearly equal in ability. "The Chinese Bandits (Dietzel's defensiveunit) is especially alert," Toretti skid. "Three times I've seen the Bandits recover fumbles neck at the head of the pack of, runners, just as they Were sup posed to do.

'e As a result, Grant "ate too much too fast"; "I blaine the extraordinary amount and profundity of, good food at the HUB for the cramp," Grant latighed in his somewhat melancholy English accent.
