PPf Dad:
Just got your lettpr saying you
might not be able to get down for
the weekend Saturday after next,
so I thought I’d better let you
know how much you’ll miss if you
don’t make it. \
I don’t know whether they’re
jiist joking or not, but a lof of
fgllows here at schop.l are talking
Qrange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, and
such. I’ve neyer heard that kind
of talk at State before, so maybe
there’s something tp it all.
Qf course, Bpb Higgins and the'
other coaches aren’t talking that
way, and you can’t blarpp them.
A coach can’t just predict at the
beginning of the- season that his
teapi will b,e basking }n Jhe sun
light of the Sugar Bowl on New
Year’s Day. I never heard of a
coach who did, grid Bob is about
as conservative a fpll°w 3 s
I’ve ever met.
So on Saturday, October the
Ljpns will begin this highly an
ticipated ypar against a question
ably Biicknell tgam. IdPst yyeiy
qqe here can’t see anything but
a Ndtany Victory by at least three
qp |qpr touchijowhs- J wqpt you
tp be qn hand to see °ur boys
get off pn the right foot.
' And shoiild' b.eppuse when
you regd up and dpwn that lineup
—Vargp and Parsons at ypds, the
tackles Stravinski and Platt, Mori
and Oarbinski at guards, Qaptain
Gajecki at center, you wonder
what short of a Pqpzer division
copld penetrate it. the baCk
field of Smaltz, Patrick, White
and Fetrglia is one which should
pass,, run, and, kick the. Bucknell
Bison into a period of suspended
animation.
But don’t think that the football
game wIU be ali in store for you
that weekend. There’ll be plenty
qf smokers, etc., arqqnd tq take
in. So don’t let me down Pop, be
cause it’s going to be a great
weekend and planned just fqr yop.
Give my love tp Mother and
I’ll be seeing you next Saturday.
Your son,

Peters Returns
To Lion Lineup
The return qf Chuclc Petprs to
the squad yesterday aftprnoqn was
the one bright note 'in the Lioq
camp after the three serious in
juries suffered Monthly.
Peters, regular tailback, has
been out of action for two weeks
with, a separated right shoulder
and though he won’t get any con
tact work for' several days, he
might be ready for the opener
With Bucknell, October 5.
Any hopes that Bob Davis,
sophomore end, might be qf ser
vice to the sguad this-year weye
dispelled by the report that the
diminutive Monongahela Wt b 6
wps opt for the entire campaign
with a broken left collarbone.
Davis will probably drop out of
College for the semester.
To the reported injuries of
Davis and Bayley was added that
of Earl Brown Who turned up
yesterday with a separated left
shoulder. The scrappy fullback

Coach Bob Higgins converted
Len Krouse, junip.r'wingback, into
an end for the time being to fill
the vacancy left qpen by Davis’
injury. Krouse is noted for his
pass receiving ability and may be
just the man to help ths Lions
out of a hole. Another end wbb
might develop is John Egli, regu
lar" on the freshnpep team last
ygar. Egli returned to the squad
after g- three week absence and
Higgins liked the bqy’s work.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Lions In 1940 Opener Qn Dad's Day
Slate Pries Open
Lid In IQ Days
Ten more days . and the 1940
football edition of the Nittany
Lions will pry open their season
with the tough Bucknell Bisons.
The date is Saturday, October 5,
Dad’s Day, and a record crowd
pf proud fathers is expected to
accompany the students to the
New Beaver Field for the opener.
Great things are expected of the
State team this year. Some nation
ally known experts even go so far
as to predict an undefeated cam
paign for the Lions and rate them
as high as thirteenth in the na
tion. The basis for this assumption
is that nine of the regulars from
last year’s strong eleven are back
in action. But, while Coach Bob
Higgins will he able to field to
gether a veteran eleven this year,
he’s already beginning to worry
about the first hurdle on the
schedule.
Bucknell will he as tough as
ever. ‘Coach Al, Humphreys is
moulding together a well balanced
unit as is evidenced by the fact
th§t no less than three good can
didates are competing for each
Varsity berth. An even distribu
tion qf experience is in prospect
since the varsity group which
forms the nucleus of the squad is
composed pf 10 sophomores, 11
juniqrs, and 11 seniors.
Qn the brpad shoulders of Jim
Brandt rests the fortunes of the
Bucknell team accprding to re
ports coming out pf Lewisburg.
Th e triple - threat, 190 - pound
spp.hpmqre bpck w as a sensation
ipitil' he hijurgd his knee last
year. His playing can 'make the
Bisons a good team, instead of
only a fair one. If his knee sur
vives the pre-season preliminary
bumps, the Lions will have their
bonds fuU.' holding Brandt .in
check.
This will he Bucknell’s 55th
spason of intercollegiate football,’
apd although they play State in
the opening game of the 1940
schedule, the Bisons will be geared
up for this game more than any
other.
