A look at the movies of the
Army.Notre Dame game show
that Terry Brennan's opening
kickoff return was good for 81
and not 95 yards as first sup
posed. Terry was moving back
under the kick, he leaped into
the air, and made an over-the-
shoulder catch and came down
on the Notre Dame three.yard
line. From there he went 81
yards down the west sidelines
to score.

naturally they are hoping for
a well known eleven so they
can compare themselves with
bigger football colleges.
Athletic officials at the
University have come to the
conclusion that with the wide
open style of offense en-
ployed by the Rockets, they
would have a good chance OF
upsetting a stronger and
better known team. We
readily agree with them for
Toledo has one of the finest
passers in any college today
in Lee Pete.
In addition to his great
passing ability, Pete is an eX-
pert field general. Don't be
surprised if you see this boy
starring for some professional
club in a year or two.
Getting back to the Glass
Bowl tilt, it looks like the af-
fair will be bigger and better
than last year, as the Toledo
glass companies have taken
much more interest in the
game. The publicity will be
nationwide as many of the
country's leading sports writ
ers will be in attendance.
Players on the Rocket team
would rather play a school
that has a good football repu-
tation than one they could
beat, but in the "little" col
lege bracket. This is one Of
the many reasons Athletic Di-
rector David V. Connolly is
set on bringing in a good
team.
One thing is certain and
that is this years contest will
eclipse the inaugural affair
of last Dec. 7. This seems al
most impossible since the
Bates-Toledo tilt was a
thriller, but the glass COM
mittee in charge of proceed
ings is going all out to make
1t so.

Griidders Beat
State Champs
OnMuddyFieId

one of the biggest upsets in
years last Saturday night
when they defeated the previ-
ously unbeaten Youngstown
All-Stars, 7-2 at Youngstown,
o. The All-Stars hadn't been
beaten in three years and claim
ed the semi-pro grid title OF
Ohio.
The contest, a benefit tilt for
a disabled war veteran, was
played at South Side High
School in weather more suitable
for ducks than football players.
Youngstown took the opening
kickoff but could get no place
against the strong forward wall
of Local IL and had to punt.
Local IL took the kick on their
own 28-yard line and began to
move, but after racking up two
first downs the All-Star line
Stiffened and the Unionmen had
to kick.
The rest of the period was
spent in punt exchanges as
neither teams backs could break
loose on the slippery turf. Near
the end of the second quarter,
Youngstown drew first blood
when they punted dead on the
Local IL nine yard stripe.
Youngstown Scores
On the first play, Local IL
back slipped and fell for a six
yard loss, and on the following
play a wobbley pass from center
got away from Carl Damico and
Just as he recovered the slippery
oval an All-Star tackler nailed
him behind the Union goaline
for a safety.
Shortly after this Local IL
regained the ball and bored deep
into Youngstown territory but
the time ran out on the All-Star
six yard line. Paul Van Camp,
Carl Damico, and Seymour Bag
ner alternated in moving the
ball this far.
The second half was a diff
ferent story as the Toledoans
came back to run up three more
first downs, but again the attack
slagged down and they had TO
kick. Youngstown was held on
its set of downs and Local IL
started to move once more.
Bagner Tallies
This time mud hampered the
winners so they booted out of
danger. The All-Star made one
first down and then the strong
Local IL line again saved the
day by stopping the onslaught,
On fourth down Youngstown
punted to Seymour Bagner,
former, Scott High star, on the
the winners "a yard line. Bag
ner cut to his right, picked up
blockers and raced 66 yards un-
molested for a touchdown. Elmer
Okos added the extra point from
placement.
OkoS, Jerry Finnegan and Carl
Damico were very instrumental
in the touchdown as they ex-
ecuted some beautiful blocks.
This tally was all Local IL need
ed because from here until the
final gun they played like de-
mons.
Here are some of the men that
helped to beat Youngstown by
playing great football: George
Null, William Mitchell, John
Lininger, Don Hart, Booker
Harris, Cliff Frankowski, Ed
Estes, Frank Elliot, Ernie Early,
Vernie Collins, Tom Cole,
Lincoln Nedd, Frank Nowak Jr,
Mike Papuchike, Roger Staebler
and Bob Sinner.
The trip was made on a Com
munity Traction bus. Coaches
Francis Lengel and Pete Brown,
Trainer Red Macdonald, Chuck
Cramer and Glen Hume accom-
panied the team.

WOODLAND is
REMODELED
Milton Lord, Making Repairs
and Additions AT Nearby
Bay Resort
FURTHER PLANS MADE

A long range plan to make
Woodland Beach a popular sum-
mer resort, has been put in opera
talon by Milton V. Lord. Mr.. Lord,
who last year purchased the land
and most of the buildings at the
beach now makes his home there,
although he came originally from
Wilmington. Preliminary plans
have been discussed with a local
bus owner to operate bus, which
would make regular runs from
Smyrna buses and Clayton trains
to the Beach for the convenience
of tourists, fishermen and resi-
dents of Woodland itself. Milford
said, in an interview last week,
that he has proposed to the Wilson
Steamship Line that one of their
boats be put on a Philadelphia
Wilmington Woodland Beach run.
Both parties hope to put the plan
in operation next year. An ad-
vantage has been seen in the fact
that Woodland would be the only
resort between Wilmington and
Rehoboth. This year alone, Mr..
Lord has succeeded in building
twenty modern cabins, a complete
ly remodeled dance hall, new res
taurant, rs new boats and equip
ment, new picnic tables and mod
ern crab steamer. In addition, a
new walk-in ice box has been add
ed, a modern boathouse built and
existing properties remodeled. The
dance hall, remodeled with a dance
floor of 5000 square feet, modern
rest rooms, lunch service and soft
drinks was officially opened last
Thursday night. Dancing will con-
tinue every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday evening, with free dane
ing on week days. Mr.. Lord noted,
significantly, that of every ten
cars which stop at the Beach, ap-
proximately six bear Pennsylvania
license tags, three are from New
Jersey = only one is from Della
ware.

the class that they are members
of a generation which must change
civilization itself, the speaker
stressed the need of creating indi-

deplored the intolerance in Amer

fore and said that unless this gen.

asserted. DR.. G. j. Prickett, who

The David c. Harrison Post No.
IA, American Legion, Smyrna, has
rapidly progressed on plans for the
building of their new post home, to
be located on DUPONT Highway, U.
S. Route No. 13, about 2 miles

alton of one dollar. And, it is
upon this lot measuring 150-feet
frontage by 210-feet depth, that
the David c. Harrison Post intends
to erect its new Post Home. In
reality the building, as planned,
will be an athletic center where
residents of the surrounding COM
munity may find good wholesome
recreation and endless hours of en-
joyable entertainment. Members
of the new Post Home Committee
were instructed to proceed with
their work in drawing up tenta-
tive building sketch, and present
ing same back to the regular post
meeting for approval. AS soon as
this phase of the work is finished,
the next step will be to have an
