Haverford ntudenta have algrays been noted for their musical ability, some of high quality and some of rather dubious

Many Army Students
Completing Courses
At 222 Institutions
Approximately 1,500 enlisted
men have been graduated from
the Army Specialized Training
Program and have been assign.
ed to a wide variety of responsible duties in nearly all arms
sod services of the Army, the
War Department announced.
At the end 0 October. approximately 140,000 soldiers
were enrolled in the ASTP at
232 educational institutions.
Early in 1944, these soldierodudents will complete their courses in greatly increasing numbers. The 1,500 already graduated and assigned constitute
more than half the number who
entered the inaugural term of
ASTP April 12, 1943. They
are men who entered at advanced levels, and because of background and aptitude were able
to absorb the required training
in a relatively short time.
Two hundred graduates have
been assigned to Army Air
Forces medic-al and psychological examining unite and will
premise aviation students, who
are screened for aptitudes and
qualifications- early in their
training. More than 100 were
assigned to Army Service Forces, where they are conducting
a ciaasificatioe survey. Some
have gone to the Sanitary
Corps, and are performing their
duties in such a manner that
the Surgeon General's. Office Is
increasing newly four-fold its
requests for AS1T graduates
in that corps.
Approximately 200 Basic Engineers end Language • and

Time Out
A Team
to be Proud of !
Br BEN Lwcsrras
By whipping the Swarthmore
Jayvees, 20-12, last week at
Swarthmore, Haverford College
completed its second undefeated football season in succession.
This statement might seem funny to some people and slightly on the braggadocio side to
others, in view of this year's
limited schedule, but Haverford
etudenta and alumni can rightly
be proud of Pep Haddleton's
Varsity "B" gridders.
When the college semester
began in September, only intramural touch football was scheduled. But Jim Wright was assured by Vice President Macintosh that a J. V. football
schedule would be arranged if
more than twenty fellows desired to play. Although the entire enrollment totalled only
126, about 26 boys turned out
for the initial practice, about
twenty per tent of the college.
For almost three weeks the
team drilled patiently with not
even a scheduled game in sight
It was impossible to agree to
play other college varsities sod
even local prep schools when
the quality of the Haverford
eleven was unknown.
It didn't take long, however,
for that quality to become evident, for the Scarlet and Black
outfought P. M. C., 14-7. in the
'first content Games were arranged with George School and
the Swarthmore Jayvees, games
which Haverford also won, 250, and 20-12. Several other
prep schools in this district refused to play Rsverford, awed
possibly by last year's undefeated powerhouse, and then It
was too late to arrange any
other games.
But from the last week of
September until the middle of
November practice was held
regularly, just as if there were
a regular game scheduled each
week. Football was played this
year at Haverfoni for the enjoyment of playing—clean, hard
football That is the way it
should be played.
Each game was a major task
for this year's Hornets, for they
were outweighed in all three
contests. There was little reserve strength available, and
that inexperienced. The average weight of the team was
only about 160 1bn., compared
to an average weight last year
of almost 185.
The ends, Johnny Estey and
Toby Lehmann, improved with
each raw, as proved by the
Sgrarthmore battle In which
they caught twelve passes. Lehmann is 61, but weighs only
168 pounds, while Retry stood
about 6:10 and parked 160 lbs.
What these boys tacked In the
brawn of but year's Kent Balls
and Bill Conn, they made up In
grit and fight.
The Scarlet and Black's Roe
strength was centered this season in the tackle spots, which
were held down by "man-mountain" Frank Kennedy and Bob
Good. Kennedy Is the first of
a line of what will be called In
the future, "roving tackles."
He trashed into the opposing
backfield on line smashes, dropped back a. a fullback on pees
defense to intercept pauses, and
even kicked an extra point in
the last game. Kennedy possessed 180 lbs. of muscle on his
six-foot frame. Haverford playen agreed that practice sessions were worse than the actual games, for in practice they
had to scrimmage against Ken
nedy. Bob Good shone espec
tally in the Swarthmore con
test, when he was the fifth man
in the Garnet backfield all afternoon. He was the biggest
man on the Haverford eleven,
standing 6:25 and weighing
180 Re.
The middle of the Haverford
line played practically every
minute of every game. Mason
Trainer, who last year broke
his collar-bone in an intramural touch football game, decided to take a rest this year
and play on Pop Haddleton's
team- Trainer, the left guard,
tipped the scales at barely 150
lbs„ while the right guard,
Freshman Don Walters weighed only about 145. Them two
boys pulled out of the line to
lead interference and were frequently underneath pile-raps in
the center of the line. Dick Taylor, the rugged 160.1b. center,
also backed up the line on the
defense and opened up boles in
the center of the forward wall
when Haverford had the ball.
There just wasn't any other
center on the Scarlet and Black
squad during the whole season.
for no other one was needed.
Haverford had what is called
a "posy backfield," for it averaged about 160 lbs. Captain
Jim Wright at left halfback
was the team's main offensive
threat with his bard running
and hie accurate right arm.
Wright was always dangerous,
as shown in the P.M.C. game
when he returned a klek-off SO
yards for a touchdown. Henry
Fetterman and Al Bash-Brown,
who took care of the blocking
quarterback duties, weighed
only 160 lbs. each, but these
boys could block, and that was
their whole job. Ed Klein, the
right halfback, wasn't at Haserford very long, the was a
Rhinie and left last week to en
ter the Naval Mr Corps), but
he was a jaek.rabbit on reverse plays and was the team's
punter. Last year be made life
miserable for the Haverford
J.• Ws when he played fullback
for George School, but this
year he turned the tables and
starred against his former
teammates. The fullback position was capably handled by
180-16. Art Bryson and 155-lb.
Tommy Ryan, both of whom
played last year for Pop Haddleton on the Scarlet Jayvees.
Bryson was used mostly on offense and Ryan on defense; this
marked out perfectly, for Bryson had terrific drive for
small boy, and Ryan intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards for
a touchdown against George
School.
Credit should also be given
to the team's reserves. Dan
Wright, Martin dinner, Brad
Cunningham, Bert Kummel
Tom Zimmerman, and Al Dams
Rued in for the forward wall,
and Jim Buckley in the beckfield,
This was supposed to be a
lean season for Haverford football, bet it tamed out to be one
of the most successful in the
collage's history.
