PENNSYLVANIA HAS ITS BEST TEAM SINCE 1886

But Pennsylvania's blocking has been particularly good. Once ball. carrier is free, the entire club springs into blocking action. George Munger's team has better cohesion than it had last autumn. It IS a determined, alert outfit with a thorough knowledge of fundamen- talS.
 With Princeton, always tough nut for Pennsylvania, and Michi- gan out of the way, the Philadel- phians will still have tough road. Navy, on the upsurge, follows Michi- gan, after which the Quakers en- gage Harvard and Army before the finale with Cornell's juggernaut.
 Perhaps the opposition Pennsyl- vania has met thus far has not been too strong, but the Quakers have capable reservists backing up able athletes, and their spirit and morale is excellent.
 Regardless of what happens In the future, everyone close to the Pennsylvania picture is positive that the school has its best team since 1886, when the Red and Blue lost only one game.
 Michigan realizes 1t will have its hands full, Oct. 26, when it deploys against Pennsylvania, and Tom Har- mon duels with Frank Reagan, a runner, passer and kicker worthy of his mettle.

Harmon to Spend Rest of Season Dueling With Leading Rivals for Backfield Honors
Reagan, Franck, DeCOrre- won't and Scott Will
 Face Michigan Flyer
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Ann Arbor, Oct. 24-Tom Harmon, Michigan's remarkable back, will spend the second half of the season dueling with four of the brightest stars of the game.
 Frank Reagan and 8 high-rolling Pennsylvania varsity visits Ann Arbor, Oct. 26.
 Harmon and his one-man gang, Forest Evashevski, go to Minneap- oils to tackle speedster George Franck and the mighty men of Minnesota, Nov. g.
 Bill deCorrevont and the North western Dark Horses invade Michi- gan Stadium, No. 16.
 Harmon & Go. shoot for a three year sweep over Ohia State and it's 215-yound octagonal threat, Don Scott, in Columbus, Nov. g.
 Reagan and the sons of Penn, and Franck and his brother Goph-, CTS are not awed by the presence in the Wolverine lineup of Harmon, leading ground-gainer of the cur rent campaign.
 While Pennsylvania was edged, 19-17, on Franklin Field a year ago, Tailback Reagan outgained Harmon when everything is con- sidered yards from scrimmage, yards gained on passes thrown by the two and punt and kickoff re- turns. The figures were 356 yards to 294.
 MICHIGAN HAS LOST SIX IN ROW TO MINNESOTA
 Minnesota has taken six in a row from Michigan. Five of the engage ments have been lopsided. Only in the sophomore year of Harmon and Evashecski did the Wolves make it close, 7-6. On that occasion, they outgained the Golden Gophers tre- mendously.
 But last autumn, with Blocker Evashevski on the sidelines with an injury, Harmon had bad after noon, and Minnesota prevailed, 20- T. Franck, the fastest man in foot ball, feinted Harmon out of posi- tion and sped by him on a long touchdown run.
 Pennsylvania will detrain at Ann Arhor with high hopes.
 Only one sophomore, Bernard Kuczynski, is a starter. Outstanding as freshman, he plays plenty Of left end.
 Clearing the way for the versa tile Reagan is Gene Davis, the counterpart of Michigan's Evashev- ski, and numerous other blockers from way back.
 The fact that Pennsylvania crushed Maryland, 51-0, and Yale, 50-7, may not be an indication that the Quakers are of lofty national ranking quality. Yale, hardly a Rhapsody in Blue with them, was without it's two most formidable backs, Hovey Seymour and Ray Anderson.

Dartmouth

Hanover, N. H. Oct. 24-UP)- Dartmouth may start three sopho- more backs against Harvard at Cambridge, Mass, Saturday in an effort to gain its first major victory of the year. Don Norton, senior quarterback, looms as the only vet eran likely to start. The varsity worked against freshmen and third stringers in a final scrimmage ses- sion yesterday. The line play of Capt. Lou Young, Jr., Bob O,Brien and Red Krumm featured the work out.

which would require the post to be
filled, by a United States Public
Health physician, was voiced by
members of the Senate District
Committee yesterday.
Chairman King said after con-
ference with DR.. Rutland, that his
opposition to such a plan is in line
with his often expressed opposition
to bureaucracy, While he declined
to enter into any controversy re-
garding DR.. Ruhland's qualifications
as health officer for the District, he
declared emphatically that this
isn't the way to get rid of him"
He said he is opposed to the Pub
lie Health Service having anything
to say regarding who will snrve as
District health officer.
CAS- long as Congress let's the Dis
trict Commissioners run District
affairs, they should be allowed to
do it without interference from any
other branch of the Government
he said.
Senator Capper. Republican of
Kansas, former chairman CT the
District committee, and now rank
ing minority member, expressed a
desire for information as who sug-
gested this underhand method
He declared that he has examined
DR.. Ruhland's record, finds he has
done good job for the District, and
is for him"
Senator Bridges. Republican, of
New Hampshire, said he had been
approached on the subject and
would look into it,"
Defense of DR.. Rutland came also
from DR.. William Gerry Morgan, a
former president of the American
Medical Association. who was chair
man of an advisory committee which
recommended DR.. Ruhland's ap-
pointment five years ago.
4uCSCAOll illFolNills III. Ibull-
land was said by DR.. Morgan to be
under consideration by the District

will act tonight in favor of the

Dental Society Holds
Forum on Education

Dental Education in the Public
Interest" was the topic last eve
ming at a forum meeting of the
District of Columbia Dental Society
at the United States Public Health
Service auditorium.
Proposals for merging the dental
profession with medicine as spe-
cialized branch were unfavorably
received. One of the four members
of the panel, DR.. William j. Giles of
Columbia University asserted that
the medical profession had not been
attentive to dental conditions and
was not qualified to absorb the den
tai profession. The society also heard
an attack on the proposition of leav-
ing the work of teeth replacement
to technicians rather than to den
fists.
Other members of the panel in
cluded DR.. Lloyd E. Blauch of the
United States Office of Education,
DR.. j. Ben Robinson, dean of the
dental school of the University of
Maryland, and DR.. Walter Bloedorn,
dean OF the medical school of George

1t took Congressman to worst
Cowboy Gene Autry on the shooting
range at the Federal Bureau of
Investigation today.
The guitar -strumming, gun toting
cowboy hero of the silver screen paid
a visit to the F. B. I. this morning.
had his fingerprints taken, and
finally wound up in the shooting
range with Representative Jack
Nichols from his home district in
Oklahoma.
OF course. it was only a target
they took shots at, and Cowboy
Gene is more accustomed to shoot
ing it out with the villain fleeing
across the plains.
But, in any case, Mr.. Nichols put
more holes in the target than the
cowboy star. Neither one of them,
though, could touch the F. B. I. in
structor, who shot a near perfect
score and then nonchalantly blasted
a target to bits with a machine gun.
Gentleman Gene, wearing his red
boots and white ten-gallon top
per, joked with the guide who took
his fingerprints.
Il don't know whether I want
my fingerprints taken or not" he
drawled. Some time I. may have
to get tough out there with my two
guns
Despite an imminent appointment
to see Vice President Garner. Gene
couldn't be hurried away from the
gun display. He recalled that the
English F. B. I.'-Scotland Yard
gave him special permit to carry
firearms when he landed in Eng
land with seven guns and about a
thousand rounds of ammunition.
After the guide explained to him
how wanted men are caught through
flngerprints, and showed him a card
file of nicknames that are some
times a means of detection, the
cowboy turned serious long enough
to say that he thought the saddest
thing that could happen to a man
was the lost feeling he had after
years in prison.
II think the man should be given
a chance to get back on his feet
again." he declared. Maybe the
Government could take care of him
for while till he could get job. ~
