Bugs Thompson and Ralph

jured halfbacks, probably will be
fit enough to make the trip to New

in any workouts this week.
Dick Doyle, another top-caliber
halfback, is a question mark.
With Halfbacks Art Gulla and
Jack O'Mahoney previously out for
the season, it leaves the Hoyas

Iuate pursuits. Just as any lad with
average ability can, with a max
imum of determined effort, de-
velop into first string football
player, so can this same youth
with average intelligence achieve
success in his chosen profession,
If he is willing to work a little
harder and little longer than
the next person.
Americas remarkable success in
every war into which she has ever
been forced is concrete evidence
of the fact that competitive sport
is good for our youth and the
safety Of our country. Where else
in their young lives have they
learned to fight back regardless
of the odds? Had they not learned
this lesson well. they might have
been pushed back into the Sea Of
Japan during this last summer.
Resourcefulness becomes part of
a football players makeup. Re-
sourcefulness takes the enemy by
surprise and wins victories, wheth-
er they be on the gridiron or
battlefield.
Gen. MacArthur's words on the
value of athletics in America have
already been recorded for pos
terity, and they assume more i'm
portance as he continues to make
history with his military genius.
He opined that the necessary
burning desire to triumph is best
instilled on the athletic field. Ger
tainly no man is more qualified
to speak on such an important
subject.
Another opinion of equal i'm
portance was ventured by former
President Herbert Hoover, when
he spoke at footballs Coach of
the Year" dinner in New York
last January. Mr.. Hoover said,
Next to religion. competitive
sports have done more than any
other factor to make America the
great Nation she is" Coming
from two such important figures
from outside the field of sport,
these statements lend credence to
the opinions held by the men who
have devoted their lives to ath-
letics.

Jents of the players. It is true that
some serious injuries result from
football, the same as INJURIES re-
suit from ice skating, basketball,
boxing and all forms of youthful
activities. But it is my belief that
our young American manhood de-
rives much more good out of foot
ball than ever can be offset by the
relatively few serious injuries that
occur.
A boy can go just as far as his
talent and spirit will permit. In
football, lads learn the value of
corporation and teamwork, and
are taught that sacrifices must be
made to achieve that which is
good. Football teaches resource
fulness and discipline, two prime
requisites for success in any en-
deavor.
A frequent question asked of
coaches is, Does a young mans
future benefit from his participa-
tion in football and other forms
of athletics?" My answer is an
emphatic yes" To achieve Sue

great amount of self f-discipline. A

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 8.-The
Pittsburgh Steelers of the Ma

come big Don Samuel back into
their lineup Sunday. thanks to
the rookie sensations recovery
from a serious injury.
A complete dislocation of the
knee knocked the slim halfback
out of the lineup in 1949 and in
terrupted a promising gridiron
career. His comeback is the story
of a broken heart, a fierce de-
termination and un unconquerable
love of the game.
Before Samuel was hurt in a
game with the New York Bull
dogs-now the Yankees-his Of
fensive running and inspired de-
fensive play from the left wing
back spot won wide admiration.
Doctors passed this sentence on
the 20-year-old graduate:
THAT knee will give him very
little trouble-in a life of desk
work"
Samuel refused to accept that
verdict. He visited specialists who
said they would try series of
operations If he was willing to
undergo the ordeal. He grabbed
at the chance.
He submitted to the operations
and worked for hours at painful
exercises, trying to rebuild his leg

to President Art Rooney and asked
for chance. Rooney finally
consented. Samuel started out as

worked out by himself.
The bad knee began to improve.
Coach Johnny Nicholson and
