Nations 5 HeaIth with
 Recommendations for
 Improvement Reported
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb, 6.-With war news absorbing most of the headlines, the interim report of Sen Claude Peppers subcommittee on wartime health and education has received far less attention than it de- serves. It will get more when Con- gress gets around to doing some thing about it, which Sen. Pepper tells me won't be too long.
 Twenty-two million men of draft age have had to face their 'phy- sicals" in recent years; a smaller but still important number of wo- men have undergone examinations for various services; and millions more have gotten check-ups for war work. There never has been an opportunity for such a thorough ex- animation of the health of the na- tion
 The Pepper subcommittee has made the most of it and some of the facts disclosed are staggering To mention only a few, more than 9,G00,c00 young men have been found unfit fer general military duty and approximately the same ratio - 40 per cent-holds for the women.
 Illness and injury on the home front are costing the nation more than 60O,O00000 man-days of indus trial labor every year (nearly 50 times the number of man days lost by strikes and lockouts in 1943) A very high percentage of these in- juries and illnesses the committee found to be preventable.-
 About 40 per cent of the nations 3,070 counties, with 15,000,000 popu- lation, have no registered hospitals or any kind of public health service The report emphasizes that, mea- sured by modern world standards we are far from a nation of weak lings, but it doesn't dodge the fact that there is much to be done be- for the golden age" of health ar rives in the United States. Appar- ently the committee made con- scious effort to duck the highly con- troversial question of "socialized medical care" but it isn't by any means a negative report.
 It proposes that a national net work of regional medical centers be established. Hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories for research and medical schools would be set up in which physicians, nurses, medical research workers and post gradu- ates would be given an opportunity

QUAKERS DEFEAT
PRINCETON, $50

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-tR-
Doing all its scoring in the first
two periods and then sending in
second, third and fourth stringers
to sit on the lead, the Penn foot
ball team turned in it's expected
victory over Princeton at Franklin
Field today, % to 0, and inciden-
tally dropped the Tigers from the
unbeaten ranks. A crowd Of ST..
600 looked on.
The Quakers simply had too
much of everything today as they
rebounded from their last-minute
defeat at the hand of Navy a week
ago. The line was too big and too
rugged for the inexperienced Ben
gals; the backs were too fast and
too shifty and too numerous; the
team as a whole tackled so en-
Enthusiastically that five times
Princeton backs fumbled, and four
of the fumbles were recovered by
an alert Penn defender.
The first Penn scrimmage play
was the tip-off as to what might
be expected. Bob Evans, ran 40
yards to the Princeton forty, tRt
the play was recalled and the
Quakers penalized. The Quakers
were penalized with alarming reg
ularity all afternoon, officials pac.
ing off los yards against them as
for the second straight Saturday
they committed 10 fouls.

Wisconsin Tramples
Winless Iowa, TT

IOWA CITY, Ia, Nov. 3.-W.D-
Downtr odden Iowa, without a big
ten football victory since 1912, fail
ed again today as Wisconsin push
ed the Hawkeyes deeper into the
conference cellar with a q to Z
victory before $4,000 disappointed
homecoming fans.
It was Wisconsin's first big ten
victory and took the Badgers out
of the Cellar, leaving Iowa all
alone.
The powerful running Of Don
Kindt, 180-pound halfback, who
scored twice, and the breakaway
sprints of pint-sized Jerry Thomp-
son, 158-pounder, provided the
ground attack that ripped the weak
Iowa line. Wisconsin's heavier
linemen repeatedly tore open big
holes for Kindt and Thompson and
then smothered the Iowans' run
ming attempts.
Iowa's only threat was through
the air where Quarterback Jerry
Niles accounted for the lone Hawk
eye score.

WILLIAM AND MARY
UPSETS MARYLAND

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Nov. g
R-A Maryland team playing as
confidently as if it had the game
in it's hip pocket found itself liter
ally swamped under an avalanche
of last half touchdowns as William
and Ma-y's alert Indians came
from behind to upset the favored
Old Liners 80 to IA.
Trailing by a touchdown with
Maryland, apparently in winning
saddle, the Virginians really blew
the contest apart with space OF
ten minutes, beginning midway OF
the third period. Four touchdoWns
were rushed over in that time-tWo
on passes of As and "A yards, one
on a recovered tumble behind the
goal and another on a blocke punt
to leave the apparently better
equipped Marylanders gasping un-
der the onslaught.
Each team had tailed once in
the first half, William and Mary
drawing first blood on one-yard
plunge by Chester Mackiewlcz
after Knox Ramsey had broken
through to block Ray Sto-ti's punt
and fall on the ball on the Old
Liner Is. This aroused the Vary
land Eleven which promptly COW
cred 80 yards in a dozen plays, the
touchdown coming on 13-yard
pass from Sam Behr to Bill Po-
ling, who placekicked the point to
put his team ahead 7 to 6.
Coming out fo- the third period,
the Old Liners acted as if they
meant to sew up the ball game as
they marched S. yards for score
on three plays, an aerial from
Polling to Don Gleasner netting AZ
yards for the payoff. Polling
placement made it IA to 6.
Then the roof fell in on the
cocky terrapins. Taking the ball
on Maryland's As after a punt out
of bounds, Tom Korczowski heaved
a five-yard toss to Maclziewicz who
hot footed it 40 yards to pay dirt.
The $500 fans hardly had set
tied down when Storti angled a
punt out on the Indians rs. Korc-
zowski stepped back calmly and
passed IA yards to Denver Mills
who outrun the Maryland second
ary defenders the remaining so
yards, putting William and Mary
ahead, 10 to IA as Stanley Magd-
ziak kicked the extra point.
The Old Liners never recovered
and William and Mary capitalized
on sorry ball-handling and desper-
ate passes to run up the score.
