ARMY EDUCATION

Public opinion expert George Gallup proved to the last decimal point last week that more men would enlist in the Army and Navy if military authorities had "a sys- tenn whereby educational training in the service would count toward high school or college diplomas. "
 The Armys Information and Education branch was glad to hear that they should educate service men, but they want to know one thing: who's going to educate MT. Gallup?
 What he apparently doesn't know is that the United States Armed Forces Institute makes every con- ceivable type of study course avail able to any soldier, sailor. marine or coast guardsman who wants it. A total of 100000 men already have acquired schooling via USAFI Also, they've got credit for it. In the last year alone. 10000 service men received high school diplomas via the Army. These diplomas and USAFIs college courses are ac- eepted for credit by almost every school in ths country.
 Gallup goes on to make the weird statement that army author ities question the idea of the Army's going into the business oi general education.
 Clearly, none of Gallup's score keepers asked the Secretary ol War or power-packed Genera, Buck" Lanham, head of the Army's Information and Education branch about this. They not only don't question it, but they do it; sending teachers and books anc quizzes and lessons by the thou sands all over the world
 Lanham is a combat soldier turn cd sch0olteacher, and good at both He was Commander of the 22nc Regiment of the famous 4th Divi. sion, holds decorations up to Dis. tinguished Service Cross and. in. cluding Purple Heart. A dynamic unpompous brass hat, Buck" Ian ham is as sincere in his drive tt give servicemen all the schooling they'll take as he was in his out fits drive across France. And h, has done just exactly what Di Gallup doesn't realize is being don made books help take the CUTS off bayonets.

Red ruminated briefly. His re-
ply idled momentum. MAYBE a

slumbering detective somewhere
inside me-"
Get to the point, Red"
1.-THE doctor was a fastidious
record-keeper. Through the years
until the slack hit him, entries
were complete and frequent. The
bulk of these file cards were
yellow with age. As a matter OF
fact, the whole kaboodle were a
wee yellow except the M. Leeds
card. It was whittier and the ink
seemed fresher. The card had
four entries on it that didn't
mean much to me except that the
fastidious doc dated none of
them"
Jigger beamed. "Smart boy,
Red. The basic alpha beta gamma
of detection is to look for incon-
sistencies. You're right on the

Joey's the killer after ALL"
Jigger dismissed it. There was
a REORGANIZATION in that killing,
Red, that can't be ignored. The
doctor wasn't merely killed. He
was destroyed down to the last
shred of face. Joey might have
coveted the twelve grand but he
didn't hate the doc that much"

Jigger toiled out of the vacuum.

Michigan VS.. Wisconsin, by
their antics of recent weeks,
the Badgers have transformed

Wisconsin line he should be able
to penetrate a weak Badger
pass defense. Ons hefty vote
for Michigan.
Army VS.. Pennsylvania The
Quakers have had some setups
on their schedule but they
dumped Virginia out of the all
victorious ranks and man
handled Columbia, which broke
Army's streak. What chance do
the Cadets have without a
potent passing attack? Looks
like this is the wear the Quakers
go all the way. A confident
vote for Pennsylvania.
Georgia Tech VS.. Alabama
Tech is all-victorious but 'Bama
has come up fast since two
early season defeats and this
game rates as a toss-up. Unless
the Yellow Jackets have been

Penn State VS.. Navy-Here's

HENRY CORE STARS
IN PEMBROKE WIN

Henry Core had a field day
at Robert Strange yesterday as
he led the Pembroke Cubs to a
10 to 6 victory over the Cadet
league leading st. Mary's
Gales.
Gore scored both touchdowns
and plunged over for the extra
point. The Cubs were success
full in bottling up the speedy
Emil Boado.
The Gales scored N the first
quarter when Melvin Raspberry
blocked a Cub punt on the three
yard line. Donald Taylor fell on
the ball across the goal line for
a St. Mary touchdown.
In the third quarter the Cubs
drove go yards before Henry
Core plunged over to score
from the 8 yard line. In the
fourth quarter Core again hit
the line for six yards and his
second marker. Core plunged
over for the extra point.
The St. Mary's Gales have
won seven and lost two while
the Pembroke Cubs, coached by
Douglas Seasons, have won
eight and lost three.
