by not learning bad habits that
will harm our health and body.
We must practice safety as we
are taughts and is our duty to
teach it to the younger children.
Our country'S safety depends on
our being safe because we are the
ones that will someday grow up
in good health to see that we keep
it safe.

Boilermakers' Win

Four years ago Purdue snapped
q Notre Dame unbeaten streak at

This year they broke a modest
Notre Dame unbeaten streak of
10 games and in the process hand
ed 26-year-old Terry Brennan his
first defeat as a varsity college
coach. This one, you may be sure,
was no fuke.

club, several good veterans and

eight touchdown passes. He COM

Wertz Won't Rest On Laurels;
Wants To Improve Fielding
Bv BEN PHLEcAR

CLEVELAND R-Vic Wertz has
the first-base job with the Cleve-
land Indians sewed up for next
season but he said today he's going
ito work like a dog to earn the
right to keep it.
"I'll make it. l gotta make it
and I'm going to make it. I'll take
dancing lessons all winter if it'll

The 29-year-old Pennsylvania
was the only bright spot in the
World Series collapse of the Cleve-
land Indians. He led both clubs
in hits with eight, four of them
in the first game, and his 500
average was tops among the reg
ulars.
After seven seasons in the ma
jors as an outfielder, Wertz ap-
peared headed for oblivion with
the Baltimore Orioles until he was
traded suddenly on June to the
Indians.
AT the time his stock had hit
an all-time low. He had struck out
his first six times up as cleanup
hitter for the new Orioles and the
Baltimore fans rode him unmer-
cifully. The one-time slugger was
a .2O2 benchwarmer when he was
traded.

Subs Share In
Lin'eIight In
SEC Conflict
sec FOOTBALL
BY MERCER BAILEY

Associated Press Sports Writer
A substitute on a football team
often is a forgotten man, but al
least half a dozen subs shared the
limelight with established stars in
Southeastern Conference games
last weekend.
And while these unsung lads were
making their grabs for grid glory,
Florida's moderated G a,tor s
scrambled into the center of the
SEC championship picture.
Just a week after topping Geor-
gia Techs Sugar Bowl champions,
Florida surprised the experts by
humping Auburn's Gator Bowl boys
1913. The Gators only loss this
season was "a IA setback by Cot
ton Bowl champion Rice.
Only three other teams are bat
ting 1000 in conference competition
so far--Mississippi, Alabama and
Tennessee. The Vols play both Ala
bama and Florida later and those
games should narrow the field con-
siderably. Mississippi, through no
fault of the Rebs, doesn't meet
either of the other three prime
eontenders.
But back to those subs:
Jim TAFT and Frank Sabbatini,
a pair of third string halfbacks,
each scored touchdown on a nice
run to ignite Mississippi States
flatering offense against Arkan-
sas State. After that, the Maroon
regulars, perhaps fearful of losing
their starting roles, began to click
and ground out 1913 victory.
Soph quarterback Freddie Will
cox, third stringer at the start of
the season, took charge of Tulane
in the final period, returned a punt
81 yards to the North Carolina 16
and shortly thereafter passed seven
yards for a touchdown which tied
the highly favored Tar Heels TT.
Delmar Hughes, a sub signal
caller who starred in Kentucky's
loss to Maryland, provided the all.
important extra point in the Wild
cats rs victory over Louisiana
