COACHES STRIVE TO ROUND
GRID MACHINE INTO SHAPE
BezdekFaces Problem of Forming New
; Baekfield Weakened by Loss
. of-Veteran Players '
With the approdeh of the fall scnsonl
and the oponlng of school, football be
comes the main subject of all athletic
comment Everyone Is concerned with
the pi aspects of the coming-season,
expressing greatest confidence or fears
for s tho completion of the schedule with
a clean slate, the past week
the grldhon squad lias been working
daily with heartening energy In piep
aratlon of meeting the formidable teams
scheduled for the 1922 season and It Is'
ceilain that these Blue war
riors with Coach Bezdelc and his ass
istants will do everything -possible for
the honor of Penn State .' ' .
With ten instead of nine contests ar
ranged foi tho-Nlttany, gridiron men to
meet this fall,-Penn State has a sched
ule to face'? which Is undoubtedly as
* strong or stronger than that of tho past
season." Of the ton games, the most
dlfllcult four, Syracuse, Navy, Penn and
Pitt, will bo played away from homo
which is usually an added difficulty for
a team to overcome Tho' remaining
six teams to bo met on New Beaver aro
all of the calibre to test tho Nlttany ag
gicgatlon- to i the utmost, tho whole
schedule calling for all the skill and
'strategy that the coaches can. instill
Into the team in order to overcome all
opponents
Predictions us'to tho outcome of tho
season made at this time of the year
would have small value insomuch us
tho squad has been working only a ltttV'
moro than a week. With such an array
of opponents facing the' players and
coaches as Syracuse, Navy, Carnegie
Tech, Penn and Pitt and tho loss of sis
men by graduation and several who did
not return to school this fall it will
tulco the utmost energy and work that
they can turn out to finish'the season
■undefeated'as has been done in" tho
past two years
The initial-preparations for the sea
son vvero begun on tho first of Septem
ber when about twenty candidates re
turned and started their daily work
outs. Since that time several more
li on tlio Hold making about
first part of the training consisted of
light work as passing the boll and exe
cuting simple shifts This was followed
by tackling tho dummy and scrimmag
es This early work lias given tho
coaches the opportunity of selecting
and changing men for the
where they are best fitted
The lack of veteran material on tho
field is especially notlcablo this year
and does not cast a favor ible light over
tho season’s prospects A large number
of men who have played regularly tho
preceding season is always a great old
-no the coach in turning out a winning
team. With only six men left this year
wlro have their “S”, tho coaches aro
put in a position where they must de
velop former substitutes and men of lit
tle experience
The greatest difficulty which Bezdek
will have to face Is rebuilding a new
team to off-set tho loss of six veterans
who graduated, Llghtncr, Klillnger,
Knabb, McCollum, Hills and Baer.
