Eddie Keonan, c college and pros fossional football player for many years has kept up his interest in the game 90 much that he sees aa many college games as possible.

EDLY Army, with "irlsh' Bob Kelly to the contrary notwithstanding the cash bonus system ok tha Phil. adelphia Eagles to keep the pro gridders ton their toes" is not too new, but gets results in the form of winning games, especially the close ones. The club pays 1i0 for tackles inside opponents 20 yard line, @ for pass anterceptlons, 50 much fer important blocks hooked up with large gains or scoring runs, etc. All that reminded me of the time { wrote to pr. Nal Stevens when he was head coach at. Yale, suggesting that LfNEMEN be credited with OFFICIAL ASSISTS which would show In the BOX SCORE Of tho game. Baseball credits assists in the box score; 50 does hockey-why not football?

MUNCER'S BOYS SET FOR GAME,
 ARMY VS DUKE
Eastern Football) By CARL LUNDQUIsT

(Unlted Press Stan CorFespondshtl
 New York, Oct. 9S = tu.PJ PennsylvaniaS hoy-powered Quak. CTS. the surprise team of the eastern football season, will try to come home against Navy Saturday on Q ''slngle wing and Q prayer" and Coach George Munger is optimistic enough to think it may get there,
 penn's assignment against the bound -to-he.b boiling" Navy Middles probably is the least envlahle Of the day, but Munger and his beArdless boys are taking 1t ln stride, much in the same manner that they ape preached their other upset victories In their unbeaten and united record to date.
 Munger Is charged with being ''old.fashioned" by some of the other eastern coaches, because they feel the single wing offensive has been outmoded by the IT" lorna. ton. That dosn't bother him in the least, because his version of it Is as baffling as any that Is operating in the gridiron realm.
 Right-Left Passers
 What makes Penn's single wing unique is that In reality 1t is double hladed." When the backs line up In single wing to the left, the Quak- CTS have l7.year-old Tony Minisi, the freshman flyer, who is Q right- handed passer, if the play Is Q single wing to the right, the ball handler usually is Al Sica, . leyear-old left handed passer,
 Take the word of Eddie Cameron, whose Duke Blue Devils were upset by Penn, ia to 2, that combination lis one of the most haffling to work up Q defense against of any I have seen."
 However, as far as the scholarly looking Munger is ooncerened, the chances Of upeetting Navy lie not ln Q forward pass offensive, but in combating Nays own passes, Fearful that the Middies may come back with little Hal Hanherg en- gineering their sharp aerial assault, Munger is working double time to set up defense that he hopes will stop the Middies like Q four strand barhed wire fence.
 Pass defense on our team Is an eleven man proposition" he said '"I'he boys are instructed to play the ball at all times, usually In . e.2.2.i set up with the six man line rushing the dickens out of the pasSer,
 "rhe boys get Q lot of drilling on how to intercept passes and for that reason like basketball players in the haekfeld, because they know how to handle ball while facing 1t, going into and after 1t. A lot oi football players apparently never realize there is Q difference between receiving c forward pass and inter- cepting one.'
 No Concession
 Munger emphasizes that Penn will be Q definite underdog pSycho. logically and physically against Navy, but we aren't eonoedina them q thing"
 If they tumble or stumble, we might take 'em," he said. Mean. while I'm praying"
 The Navy.penn meeting ane Army's first big test against Duke highlight Q good eastern schedule this weekend. In Q Friday game Temple meets Bucknell, while tho rest of the Saturday program in. cludeS Dartmouth Brown, Penn State.West Virginia, Columbia Col gate, SyracuseBoston College, New York University City College of New York and Pittsburgh Cha than Field, g. 0.

that he is part of the Army that is
is marching up the road to Rome.
The worker making nuts and bolts
must constantly remind himself
that these are not mere nuts and
bolts, that he in reality is hurting
high explosives at the enemy. The
clerk must realize that those are
not just papers she is shuffling,
that each paper represents a gun
in. soldiers hands.
So far we have done well, but
not well enough to relax for a
single minute.
We have armed the largest Ar
my in our history with the worlds
best weapons. We have helped
arm our Allies.
We have housed and clothed and
fed the Army well.
Our health rate is higher than
the rates in civil life.
Our amphibious trucks, bazoo-
kas, rockets, signal equipment have
changed the complexion of mod
ern war.
We have shipped many million
tons of equipment and millions of
men overseas.
Today we set our sights on fu-
ture targets. We must set them
accurately. In order OF find the
range, we must measure carefully
what it will require of effort, of
suffering of labor, of planning, of
sacrifice, of unity.
We dare not lose our sense of
urgency, dare not forget that each
of us is cog in a vast machine
and that individual failure may
lead to failure at some vital point
far up the line. The soldier here at
home, the shop worker and the
clerk can save American lives or
by thoughtless action bring
death to our fighting men. The
decision is ours on whether the
war will be short or long.
How long it takes, how much it
costs, is the individual concern of
each of. us. That little extra eff
fort we all can give, is vital. Each
time we pause, each time we lay
down our weapons or our tools, we
help the enemy. No individual
cause dare stand in the way of
quick and final victory. Only
through unity of action and mu-
tual determination, will we win.
Let us not be deluded by the
happy thought that the war is won.
Bitter fighting lies ahead. We have
only dented the rim of Hitler's for
tress and touched the outskirts of
Tojo's empire. We haven't licked
them yet. We dare not slacken our
efforts. Rather we must. redouble
them. Victory is never cheaply
bought.
To my troops, to the generals,
and the captains, the sergeants and
the privates, and to all our civilian
workers, I say: well done" In
the year ahead we will strive for
greater accomplishment We can
not win the war on the assembly
