And it was Hannan again at the helm to achieve the distinction of being the only Rutgers coach to hold two triumphs over Princeton.

They flows in the corners, where people sat on railings, and on the grassy slopes above the stadium.

Most of the crowd had come by automobile, and there was a sea of cars beyond the north end of the stadium. Traffic was steady, but well regulated before the game began. A half hour after the game, however, the predominant sound was the blowing of horns. Many persons, believing the pre-game rush would be worse than it was, parked their cars in Buccleuch Continued on Page Fifteen end to the other, and they sang and shouted and set off sirens. The Princeton sections were silent and still.

All this couldn't have happened on a nicer day. The warm sun and cloudless skies dictated sport coats as the fashion, and most of the topcoats were slung over arms. The refreshments stands were selling hot dogs and soda, and the hot coffee was unwanted.

The storm, born in the western Caribbean Sea near Swan Island where many dangerous hurricanes of the past have originated, swept across Cuba last night with the comparatively light winds of 50 to 60 miles an hour, but increased suddenly in intensity once it hit the open Florida straits.

The By GLADYS LIPPINCOTT Despite the shortage of nurses throughout the country, Middlesex county with the exception of Perth Amboy does not seem to be suffering, according to the reports of hospital authorities. Most hospitals are considered to be better staffed this year than they have been for the past five years, and all hospitals have adequate staffs.

Miss Pearl Parker, director of nurses at Middlesex General Hospital, reports that this year's training class is capacity with 24 enrolled. At the present time, Miss Parker not experiencing any scarcity. Location of the hospital may have something to do with the full staff in that the hospital is near Camp Kilmer and Rutgers University so that the wives of soldiers and students are able to find work there. Fifty per cent fewer student nurses are enrolled at St. Peter's Nursing School, but this is accounted for by only having one class instead of two as was done during the war years.

Sister Le Due, director of the school, reports that the largest class in the history of St. Peter's was graduated this year due to the conclusion of the cadet corps. St. Peter's is not as handicapped by the nursing shortage as it might be because many of its graduates return to the hospital for further clinical experience.
