Some of you fellow may think that our football team is down
right lousy—a bunch of stumblebums that don’t have any more busi
ness out on the gridiron than a fish out of water. Well, in reality,
the fellows on the football team are in there giving everything they’ve
got to win those games for the team and the school. You won’t find
a single one of them trying to outshine the rest, but you will i'ind
them down at the practice field three hours a day, every day, bashing
each others heads in, working on offensive and defensive plays, block
ing, tackling, passing, and kicking. The boys may not have won
any games yet, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they’re trying
to. AND IF YOU CAN DO ANY BETTER LET’S SEE YOU COME
OUT AND PROVE ITT

When Penn’s great Chuck Bednarik dropped back to the full
back slot and tossed an incompleted pass against Columbia recently,
the press box remarked: “Now he’s done everything.” That wasn’t
quiet correct, for Bednarik, who’d be a 60-minute center except for
the fact that he steps into the backfield to punt—and occasionally run
