Mail Men To Aid
Dystrophy Drive

The United States letter car.
riers, those dependable, perseverl
ing, hard-working public servants,
deserve vote of gratitude from
the American people for their
proposed errand of mercy on be-
half of the hundreds of thousands
of unfortunate victims of muscu-
lar dystrophy. Uncle Sans men
in blue-grey uniforms are prepar-
ing to go on a mission which takes
them far beyond the call of duty.
After Thanksgiving, each of
these public servants, 100000
members of the National ASsocia-
ton of Letter Carriers, supported
by their national president, Will
liam C. Doherty, will take on the
added burden of re-walking his
route-to pick up contributions to
aid victims of muscular dystrophy.
a fatal disease. These funds are
vitally needed to find treatment
and cure to save the lives of those
afflicted by this dread crippling
and fatal malady. Victims of this
mysterious killer are principally
children.
Heading the Letter Carriers
March" is u. S. Postmaster Gen
eraI Arthur E. Summerfield, who
says Of his men:
GA letter carrier on his daily
rounds sees the joys and sorrows
Of those he serves. He sees the
normal healthy child run and play
Then he is faced with the tragic
sight of another child, wheelchair-
bound and dying by inches of mus
cular dystrophy.
&c. Some of our postal en-
ployees have children, relatives.
and friends who are victims of
this dread disease. Consequently
they know first hand the tragedy
of this dread and mysterious af-
Fiction which is 1000 fatal.
'To aid those stricken with mus
cular dystrophy, the letter car
riers of the nation, who so faith
fully serve the public by deliver
ing the mail are gladly and volun-
tarily putting in extra time after
hours to collect the funds we feel
certain generous Americans will
want to give to this worthy cause"
It is up to the American public
to support the efforts of these
fine men who are giving so unself-
ishly of their time to help the
nations ailing children. Give gen
erousiy when your letter carrier
calls. If you should miss your let
ter carrier, you may send your do
nation to M. D. A., care of your

Navy Solves Some Problems
Gdttuso Likes Platoon Rule;
He Can Play More Football
BY Bill Fuchs

The son Of an Italian immi-
grant caretaker should take care
of Navy's problems at fullback
this football season.
And the punting problem.
And share of the lineback-
ing problems.
Indeed, Coach Eddie Erdelatz
admittedly wasn't prepared for
the surprise showing of Joseph
Anthony Gattuso of Salem Pike,
ClarkSboro, N. j.
"He just loves football" Erdel-
atz said with a grin. "He gives
everything he has every minute.
He has really been a pleasant
surprise.
81 remember the first time he
went in last year. I thought we
were going to have to get a chain
and post to hold him down. He
ran all over the place. Then he
settled down and played as good
a defensive game as you'd see."
He Just Likes to Play.
But, with the abolition of the
platoon system, being a defensive
star is not enough. However.
Gattuso's love for football isn't
one way. In fact, he's glad they
did away with the unlimited sub
stitution ruling.
II can play more now" he says.
'"The more I play. the better I
like it,"
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound for
mer star with Paulsboro High
School in New Jersey and the
Wyoming (Pa.) Seminary was

spring training.
Running in the backfield with
Gattuso, who also is a star wrest-
Ter, will be Bob Hepworth, who
missed two seasons because of
injuries, at left halfback; John
Weaver, on defense last season,
at quarter and John. Monahan at
right halfback. Monahan is the
only backf1eld starter with COL
lege experience on offense.
Eisenhauer Converts Easily.
The linemen also have had to
learn to go both ways. Steve
Qke) Eisenhower, an All-Amer-
lea guard on defense last year,
has had no trouble converting
like has too much natural ability
to have trouble" Erdelatz says.
End Ronnie Beagle was a de-
fensive end with the Plebes last
year. Tackle Jack Perkins
played defense last year. Center
Dick Olson played offense. Guard
Jim Leach was an offensive
tackle. Tackle Hugh Webster
played defense. End Don Fullam
played tackle on offense.
That's the starting lineup for
the opening game Saturday
against William and Mary at
Annapolis. After William and
Mary come Dartmouth, Cornell,
Princeton, Penn, Notre Dame,
Duke, Columbia and Army.
Meeting Penn, Notre Dame and
Duke on successive Saturdays,
october 24-November z, makes
those three weeks the toughest
of the season for the Middies.
Sitting in on a good many of
these games will be Andrew

The Redskins completed their
anticipated deal with the Green
Bay Packers late today, sending
Halfback Johnny Papit to that

Papit's departure followed the
outright release Of Buddy Brown,

deadline.
The deal for Papit came as a
complete surprise. The former
Virginia star, beginning his third
season in pro ranks, was stunned
by the news. He thought he was
headed for his best year as a
pro, an opinion shared by many
observers.
Papit ''Hates to Leave"
I'm too surprised to really
say anything" Johnny said. after
being informed of the deal. Il
told the boss I'd give him a good
year If he'd let me stay, but he
wants to make the deal. I really
hate to leave Washington and
the Redskins"
Papit was the Redskins lead
ing ground-gainer with IA yards
against the Baltimore Colts Sun
day. He was a consistent
ground-gainer in five previous
exhibition games, picking up
short yardage with powerful line
thrusts.
