the 1941 slate, highly successful
since its opening defeat at the
hands of Rensselaer, Poly, has fail

but, although Dickinson College
held the Dragons to 90 stalemate.
Drubbed soundly in their opener,
21-0, Coach Walter Halas' charges

the measure Of Susquehanna, 1878.
Operating from the highly-touted
"Tp formation, adopted this season
by the Philadelphian, the Dragons
rely on speed and deception and
quick thrusts at the line to carry
them past the line of scrimmage,
and although they'll be underdogs
in the battle with the Hens, they
are expected to give the Murray

Red Cross Will

Blood Donors
Here Nov. 10th
Team OF Specialists Will
Be In This City On
Above Date To Collect
Contributions For De-
fense.

The American Red Cross, anxious
and more than willing to make an
outstanding contribution to national
defense has needed the call of the
army and navy for reserve sup
ply of dry blood plasma to be used
to combat shock and hemorrhage
and has launched a drive to pro-
vide as quickly as possible the
10000 donations of blood needed
to fill the army and navy banks"
To expedite the gathering of the
blood the Red Cross has equipped
and trained a surgical corps of
specialists who will be in Milford
on Wednesday, November 26 from
10 in the morning until five in the
evening.
This highly. efficient unit will be
set up at the Milford Memorial
and men and women be-
tween the ages of 81 and go years
are urged to make this voluntary
gift of one pint of blood Those
willing to be donors should con-
tact Mrs. William Marshall, who
can be reached by telephone A,
and who will list the names and
make the appointments.
Many persons who feel so futile
IN these times of national emer-
gency because they are unable to
lid financially can do a great SER
7ice to their nation by volunteering
heir blood, for no greater, more
valuable or more appreciated gift
,ould be made in the general cause
