SCUSSEL DORSEY
SPEEDSTERS OF
YALE-C. c. CAME

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 2S-The
invasion Saturday Of the Yale Bowl
BY the United states Coast Guard
Academy football team viii mark
the renewal Of one Of the most
keenlysfought gridiron rivalries IN
Connecticut.
It won't be between the teams
for II win be the first meeting Of
the Bulldogs and the Cadets--but
rather between two natives Of this
state who have battled each other
IN two previous gridiron contests.
All eyes will be focused on Yale's
Raymond Scooter" Scussel and
slippery Jack Dorsey, the tricky rum
ming senior Of the New Londoners,
both Of whom are tailbacls.
There is little doubt that the vic
tory for either team will rest in the
performance Of these two particle
pants, both Of whom can run like q
bolt Of lightning and constitute q
consistent offensive treat,
More than that, Scussel and Dor
sey will have something else in COM
mon, because on the back of each
ones jersey will be the number a.
and well may It be before the after
noon is over the 10000 fans ex-
pected will be dizzy trying to keep
track Of this A parade.
The Scooter is q Marine via
trainee, tranSplanted on the Ell
campus this Summer from the Uni
versity Of Connecticut under the
reserve program ALLEGATIONS, while
Dorsey has been q standout ball-to-
ter for the Coast Guard for the past
two seasons.
The rivalry opened on the Storrs
campus Of the UConns back on q
crisp October Saturday in 194I when
Dorsey made his debut for the Coast
Guard In this first game Of the sea-
son and galloped up and down the
field to pace his mates to q 2 to o
victory, while the Cadets on the
other hand had an apprehensive
time trying to bottle up Scussel who
turned In an equally dazzling per-
Torrance.
Last season. however, the Illus
kies moved into the stadium hard
by the banks Of the Thames River
a decided underdog, and to the
dopesters 1t was Just q matter of
whether the charges OF Coach J. o.
Christian would be beaten by five
or six touchdowns. That was until
the kickoff.
For 1t was on that play that the
Scooter tucked the kick under his
arm and put lot Of damaging
yards behind him before he was
hauled down.
Scussel sliced off tackle, he
ploughed his way through the CEN
ter OF the line, he stepped for first
downs on sweeping end runs and he
tight-roped his way down the side
lines. He passed effectively and
time and time again he drove the
Cadets deep into their own side Of
the park with booming punts.
And when the sinking sun flick
cred its last lone ray across the rim
Of Jones Stadium late In the after
noon Dorsey walked off the field
slowly, q detected figure with his
helmet clenched tight In right fist;
while ScuSsel was carried from the
gridtron on the shoulders Of his
mates and admiring undergraduates
and alumni alike. It was he who
almost single-handed upset the
Coast Guard by q 16 TO 0 margin.
The battle between this pair on
Saturday should be keener than
ever before, because Scussel has
with him q much better crew than
was the i942 University Of Connec-
ticut team: while Dorsey's Coast
Guarders are the finest team to
represent the Academy In It's many
yeara Of existence.

Wilson School Graduation
sday Outstanding

Despite having to change all ar
rangements for their commence
ment Wednesday night, Wilson
school eighth grade graduates had
one of the finest programs in the
history of the school.
Planned originally as an outdoor
affair, the heavy winds Wednesday
neceSsitated the transferring of the
exercises to the school auditorium,
and with only such short notice,
the whole affair was presented as
smoothly and effectively as if the
plan had always been to hold the
program indoors.
The Rev Mr., Hayden S. Sears of
the Methodist church gave the
commencement address, speaking
directly to the graduates in an in
spring talk whose general theme
was that happiness and success in
life depend on attitude and that
the proper attitude must be de-
veloped early in life Real happi-
EeSs may sometimes be achieved
from those things which seem less
important and are often over
looked. he declared.
Four students presented essays
written on the subjects of their own
choice, all four ESSAYS being evi-
dence of clear thought. of study or
originally and all four being de-
livered wit. pose and dignity.
FOUR ESSAYS
ana Lee Winright spoke on the
change the war has brought to
education, the greater emphasis on
subjects such as arithmetic. She
also discussed the war activities of
students, as participation in scrap
and fond drives and in Red Cross
activities.
The Boy Sou movement. is his
tory, achievements. detectives. was
the subject chosen by David Weak
ley who pointed out that many who
had achieved honor in the war were,
in earlier life, Eagle Scouts, point
Ing out also that the successful
honest businessman of tomorrow is
the successful Scout of today. He
ended h. citing what Scouts of the
valley have done in the war effort
Arlene Jones essay was on the
American Red Gross, its history
= from the days of its origin to the
present time, it's organization and
its real purpose, concluding with
the Red Cross achievements of
students.
The American flag was Betty
HurSt's subject and in her essay
she developed the history of the
fiag, describing the flags which pre-
ceded the present one and ending
her talk with the Importance today
as never before for allegiance TO
and respect for, the flag of the
United States.
C-"v A Woakl~;'. district super
intendent, introduced the Rev. Mr..
Sears, III MS lntrO,, iciion expressing
appreciation to the parents for the
fine young people with whom the
schools work, and of the coopera-
ton the parents give the schools,
emphasizing the vital part parents
play in developing the religious life
of the child.

Splendid musical numbers high

played numbers, and a chorus OF
graduates, in two equally fine songs
under the direction of Laura Nc
Farland who also directed the

livered the invocation and the Rev.
MI. Sears, the benediction.
