Monday, September 25, 1933 Between the Lions with The Sportq, Editor Let's hope Saturday's exhibition'on New Beaver field was an off-day for the Nittany Lion gridders. We're willing to ring• the curtain down on Past productions and start work on a new show for the rest of the sea son. Perhaps a little inspiration i. the same cast would help consider ably. When a teacher's college; which ranks low in the ranks of such schools in this State, can hold a Penn State team .supposed to be of higher calibre than usual ; to one touchdown and, a safety, followers of the Linn team aro dismayed at what - will hap pen in contests scheduled• for tbd reg ular season. The Orange- and, Black line with a polite "pardon me,,l want to go through" seemed to brush aside Nittany linesmen easily and stop th'9 Lion ball-carrier in his tracks. We were looking forward to a success.; ful season, but events• Saturday have made us alter our opinion slightly. ' . Remembeling a previous sad exper- ience in a pre-season game with much smaller school, Coach Bob Hig gins tried to warn the Lion team last week about the game Saturday. A practice game was carded with a Bellefonte Academy team a few sea sons back to help the Lion squad get in a scrimmage in preparation for the regular schedule. By the time the game rolled around injuries to the regulars forced the using of second and' third string men against the Bellefonte team. The result' was a de.: feat for the Blue and 'White squad, a fact which aroused large headlines in city papers. But when a high school team took the Academy gridders into camp, the -real furore was created, with thC high school believing it had a better team than Penn State, " + 'Basketball followers here are glad to see the increase to fourteen games in prospect for the Lion team this year. Many wailings were heard last ! year when fiiie'garees were .chOPed off the schedule of previous seasons and only eleven games carded. 1: + s + This and That "Baps" Frank ; former intercolleg, iate boxing champion and football end here, successfully bucked the Harria, burg political line by being nominated Republican candidate for city council in the primaries .a . ,t the Capital Tues day .

WRIGHT .35 Wihen you think of a Nittahy Lion,, you generally connect it with "roar.

Altogether,, the pons amassed a for thp afternoon's. workaid, while t 010140 the pine and White contingent threatened several times, only one was capitalized and the one other chance was converted into a safety. Passing Game Clicks • A total of thirteen passes were at tempted by the Lions and only two were incomplete. Your pusses; how ever, were intercepted by the Orange eleven, who tried only five and had two sail into the outstretched arms of Nittany Lidns. • In the first half .'Coach Bob Higgins' henchmen attempted seven paises, only one of - whicliwas grounded. Six_ forwards were tossed by Lion backs in the last half and the only passes not completed were those last-minute heaves in an attempt to rack up on-. other score. Outside of the fact that the Teach-. ers outweighed the Lions, the passing was the only phase of the game wor, thy of commendation. A total of approximately 110 yards were gained through this medium and on several occasions Lion receivers managed to get out in the clear. Hard Charging Lacking Four developments, however, offset the - good work in the air department s and two of the flaws were in the line's play. Hard-charging and the lack of complete blocking were notice, ably Absent, with the result that open lanes for the ball carrier were left partially or wholly clogged. Accustomed to the crouching method of line play, - "King" Cole and Dick Woolbert, the Lions' veteran . tackles, both had trouble trying to use the standing type of defense. Several times both of these Nittany bulwarks were boxed in and ends and the sec, ondarihs were left to block the play,.

An impotent exhibition at this stage of the season will do more good than harm when the squad morale remains unbroken. And when one considers that'. one Orange tackle weighed 235 pounds, the ether 220, and the fullback 215, 'the Lion gridders should not, be exactly abashed.

Although there had been some ob jection to "touch football," the lack 'of proper equipment was cited as one reason why the resumption of reg ular football is impossible. The pos sibility of severe .injuries securing during the scrimmages was also given :as a reason for the continuance of "touch football." No chimige in Eligibility Rules The first step in organizing the tournament, will be made Monday when the, intra-mural managers of the fraternities and other units plan ning to enter teams will meet to dis cuss the rules for competition this year, William Crown '34, fall intra mural sports manager, announced. William M. Laurer '35 has been named as intra-mural• football man ager and will be in charge of the tournament. Eligibility rules for the tournament will remain the same as they were last year, Crown stated, With football let-. termen being barred from compett ition. He declared that changes in the playing rules would be suggested in an attempt to remedy the situations which arose last season. Competition to Start Soon The actual competition in the sport. will start the second week in October, providing the necessary plans are com pleted by that time. According to the present arrangements, two games will be played late in the afternoon and one at night. No definite arrangements have been made for the tournaments in the other fall intra-mural sports. Orga-, nization in those sports will be de layed until plans for the football tour-, npment are completed. The winner of the Hugo Bezedelc Trophy for last year has not yet been determined because of a delay by fra, ternities in submitting the team rec.-. ords.

Competition for Berths on Booter Squad Waxes Keen Kicking Precision, Timeliness in Passing All Improve as Soccermen Drill Harder Competition for posts on Coach Bill Jeffrey's soccer team might be get ting tougher, but it also means that a more aggressive squad of Nittany hooters is'being developed to fight the stiff encounters which are scheduled for this season. Showing precision in kicking, time liness is passing, and co-ordination in receiving the ball, the aggregation is gradually being moulded into a strong squad, according to, the Nittany' men tor. With only three weeks interven ing before the opening engagement here with Temple, scrimmaging will be the main bill of fare for the forty hard-working proteges. 3 Varsity Me IT Last Even though three varsity men-were lost through graduation last June, many. promising men are waiting to fill their vacancies. Center forward, how ever, presents a problem. Probable .players for this position include Don Masters, George Corbett, and maybe Captain Shorty Edwards. For a goal kicker, Bell, a• sopho more, and Palmer, former Mt. Alto freshman are being considered. Sigel, a regular hooter of last year's squad, will continue as right fullback. While Linguist, varsity fullback will vie for left fullback position, Johnny I Berms' also shows great possibilities in that he has strength in kicking with his left foot. Erismen has also shown up in this position lately, having noticed most of a change in his de• fensive policy. . The loss of the two former "All- Americap" halfbacks, Evans and Al Daykins from last year, will be cov ered with five possible substithtions. Jack Fletcher is assured of Al Day kins post as right half. Bob Graham . is trying hard for left halfback posi tion "and Swede Hansen a . senior, for right. Long, a sophomore, seems quite regular in practice, but still needs some polishing. Brady, accord ing to "Bill" might create competi tion with diligent practice, as well as Vosbury for second. Other igen Available Casterline, who was previously re ported uneligible because of physical condition, will return in good condi tion as outside right. Ambler, a jun ior, ryill also vie for this position: Bob Hoy shows ability as a strong kicker, and with his 'aggressiveness will probably be in 'the line-up as in side right. Blase', a varsity man,'still remains good material., however,. with smokes ri a sensiOld 10 Rough Cut --the tolbacCo that's MADE FOR PIPES EZEICE Julie Krems as a possible substitute. Two remaining posts on the line. up will be covered by Joe Bjelicki and Shorty Edwards at inside and out side left posts respectively. With other available men on the scene of action, the Nittany mentor will make addi tional changes if necessary. Continuing with daily scrimmages, Coach Jeffrey will build up the re-. serve strength a the team in pre, paring for the first encounter. Ad vanced, reports show that Temple is formulating a strong line-up, and will offer Penn State booters stiff opposition. "Bill" believes, however, that a much better squad is being tu, toyed here, with a more successful season in sight. MISS FISCIIER JOINS STAFF Miss Amy M. Fischer, instructor in physical education here during last summer session, has been added to the regular stair of the department to act as assistant to Miss Marie M. gaidt, Director of Physical Education for women.
