JUNIATA QUINTET
IWILL OPEN CAGE
SEASON THURSDAY
Inability of Captain Wilson To
Play Leaves No Veterans In
Penn State Line-Up
VARSITY NOT SELECTED
Coach Herman Will Pick Team
From Large Group of Inex
perienced Candidates
With the Juniata eagre contest
scheduled for next Thursday, less
than a week away, Coach Hermann
has still hesitated to select even a 1
tentative varsity basketball line-up :
To pick on entirely new quintet from
a large group of equally excellent
candidates, with some of the most
logical contenders just returning from
the western football trip, Is the prob
lem that Is puzzling “Dutch” Her-
Thc last hope for o. nucleus about
which to build a«team was shattered
when a ruling was passed that Cap
tain-elect “Andy” Wilson, the only
remaining member of last year’s var-,
slty line-up, was ineligible to play at;
the present time because of'scholastic
difficulties Koehler, a guard of the
1921 varsity squad, has been appoint
ed as acting captain
, Many Varsity Possibilities
From a. list of about seventeen ex
cellent tossers, the coach will -select
his final varsity combination Of
this number, the Nittany cage mentor
bos only selected two candidates who
may start in the contest next Thurs
dayday These are Acting-Captain
•ICoohlor and Reed, a Sophomore show
ing unusual ability because of his
speed and ability to shoot from • the
scrimmage or the foul ‘lino Koehler
Is still maintaining the excellent stand
ard which he set last year and will
prove a valuable asset at the guard
ing position
Two teams of seemingly equal abil
ity are fighting for positions, and to
avoid any misunderstanding as to their
"TSStfuttavo iuvrrts, - tho •coach hair-label
led them only as team number one and
two On team number one are Reed
and Miller at forward, Shair at center,
and Koehler and Loeffler at guards
Team number two consists of Fatzing
cr, Euwer, Rltts and Warner at for
ward, Fixter at centor, and Huston,
Marshall and Hunter at guard With
Koehler and Reed, cither of these
teams or a combination of the two may
start the game
Shair and Fixter are still fighting
for the central position and neither
seems to have an advantage over the
other Shair holds a slight advantage
over Fixter because of his weight
Football Men To Rest
Four members of the varsity squad
who travelled to“ Washington are ex
pected to report to Coach Hermann
when they return from tho trip Rit
nor who was awarded his letter last
year in basketball 'should offer the
coach a possible solution for one of
t/he berths at forward Frank and
Cornwall, both forwards on last year's
Freshman team will also report for
tryouts at forward, although Cornwall
may be shifted to compete at center
Harry Wilson, tho best guard on the
Freshman squad last winter, should
'mako the competition among tho
guards still keener 3
None of the football men will appear
in tho Juniata game however, since
they will be given a complcto rest
until January after the long football
grind They will then bo Jn the best
possible physical condition before
starting Intensive basketball training
Until they have displayed their ability,
the final selection of tho varsity bas
ketball team will bo In doubt'
Juniata Always Strong
For many years Penn State has met
Juniata for, tho opening game of tho
season, and this scrappy little aggre
gation has never failed to put up a
good fight Although nothing defin
ite is known concerning them, Coach
Hermann is taking no chances and is
preparing his men for tho fast-ap
proaching contest Because of tho in
experience of any team which ho will
put on tho floor for this contest,
“Dutoh” •will be pleased If tho Bluo
and White combination can score a
victory.
KILLINGER AND WILSON

PENN STATE TEAM
WAS BEST IN EAST
Football Authorities Hand Grid
Supremacy to Lions Because
Of Difficult Schedule
MADE REMARKABLE RECORD
The 1921 football season is over, a
sldc from two or three intersectlonal
which are of little relative
importance, and today Penn State
stands on a pinnacle of Its own, ac
claimed by practically every sports
writer, coach, and gridiron official as
the champion eleven of the East.
Playing by 'far ,Uhe most difficult
schedule In the country, a schedule
which necessitated over nine thousand,
miles of travel and , caused engage
ments .with some of the season’s best
teams, the Nittany Lions emerged un
defeated Victories over Lebanon
Valley, Gettysburg, Lehigh, North
Carolina State, Lehigh, Georgia Tech,
_Carnpffif* ‘•Tocb_ Nnvy—and the i-TJniv
ersity of Washington, and ties with
Harvard and Pittsburgh, were chalked
up to their credit and of such a record,
not a team can boost an equal Rare
ly has such, a feat over been accom
plished Football teams have travel
ed far but It has been very seldom that
they have gone so far or have met so
many strong foes on foreign gridirons
Penn State locked horns on an un
familiar field with Harvard, Georgia
Tech, Navy, Pitt and Washington, tho
first four being among the best
elevens in tho entire country. Two of
these games resulted in tics, but tho
big Bluo and White cloven clearly out
played the Crimson at Cambridge and
would have' won at home, while tho
muddy battle at Pittsburgh should nev
er have been played The field was in
such miserable condition that neither
opponent had a chance to do anything
Flayers Put on Mythlcul Eleven
Penn State's honors though do not
ccaso with its eleven being classed as
tho season's best Tho individual play
ers come in for the loudest of praise
and are placed on numerous mythical
combinations created by followers of
the grid game Kllllngcr, one of tho
gieatest backs Penn State has ever
had, is found at the quarterback posi
tion on almost every eleven chosen, no
matter what Its nature may bo Writ
ers are practically unanimous in their
choice of Killinger as All-American

Baer holds a jiromlnont position on
these picked teams too.
Comments By Authorities
In order to Illustrate more fully tho
high regard which football authori
ties have for Penn State’s cloven this
year, wo wish to publish tho following
clippings
“Tiny” Maxwell, Referee, said:
"Penn State ended a transcontinen
tal season in Seattle, Saturday, winning
from tho University of Washington 21
to 7 This victory gives State a clear
title to any championship it wishes to
Claim, for tho best teams In tho East,
South, and Far West have cither been
defeated or tied State also traveled
moro than any other team and faced
a harder schedule Taking all in all,
Penn State met all comers, dodged no

dule and has yet to lose a game A

tion and wo believe tho Nittany Nom

Tomonow” ''Jttcrnoon, when the

teams meet on ; ‘Ncw Beaver Field at
two o’clock, a battle promises
to take place/_for among the under

now at the high' water mark and both
teams are cqua]| r determined to break

Is granted to the yearlings only In
case of victory vlf the Sophs triumph
they will have the honor of winning
the first underclass football scrap
since 1915 and will also have defeated
a Freshman team, which, although
rated as somewhat inferior to those
which have been developed at Penn
State during the last fow years, Is
nevertheless, a' powerful grid ma
chine, having ‘•boea defeated on but
two occasions—when they played the
Pitt and Dartmouth first year teams—
and in each case the score was close
Since 1 Dick” Harlow and his squad,
which Is returning from Seattle, are
not expected to. arrive until Saturday
noon, it Is quite .probable that the
Sophomores will be minus the servic-
es of Frank, Cornwall, Crowthors,
Hamilton and Johnson In view of
thl3, "Dick" .Rauch, the coach of the
Sophomore team, is building up a less
experienced lincpand backflcld to meet

though will* line up-his team as
follows. Mahoney and Grosworth,
f ointcr-tac
k-03, Feoster and Runser, guards, Bair,
center, Patton,' quarterback, Hines,
right halfback, Ewing, fullback, and
Lafferty, left halfback. The Sopho
mores went through a hard workout
on Wednesday evening, and last night
and will get Into action again today
Tho Frosh will no doubt, line up the
same as In the Dartmouth game They
have not been practicing as hard as
the Sophomores, but tho fact that they
have been working together all sea
son should count considerably In
their favor At present all tho odds
seem to favor the Freshman, but if
ihe cold weather continues throughout
tomorrow, football conditions will be
far from ideal and the possibilities for
fumbling and receiving other fortun
ate "and unfortunate breaks of tho
game bo greatly Increased and
alihost anything might happen
Almost invariably, the annual Frosh
Soph football scrap Is played under
such unfavorable weather conditions
In 1918 tho contest took place in six
inches of snow and on each of tho fol
lowing years tho field was a regular
mud hole

ment in the interest of immediate and

last Wednesday in Now York City for
the una! consideration of tho plan as
proposed by Penn State for the pur-
pose of uystallzing student thought
Since tiiie movement was first inau

country, two general plans weie pro
posed by two different institutions
In the mannei ascertaining student
opinion, both wete essentially the some,
but in ihu manner of presenting this
opinion to the world, the methods vary
Tile one provides that a straw vote
be taken at the mass meetings hold
simultaneously throughout the coun
try and that the results of the polls
be transmitted to Washington by tele
phone or tele-graph. Tho Penn State
plan provides for the selection of u
delegate to represent the many state
conferences that compose the regional
departments and that these delegates
be sent to Washington for the purpose
of presenting student opinion to the
plenipotontaiics assembled there at the
call of Piesidcnt Harding The ad
vantages of the latter plan ore theo
retical and are substantially based on
past experience The originators and
exponents of the Penn Stato plan are
