Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper A-soi-lutUm News Editor this Issue_ TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1U22 VICTORY IN DEFEAT •It is never the policy of a Penn State student to offer an alibi for a defeat which his team might have suffered at the hands of some other team; a Blue and White team never makes an excuse for losing a contest; the Lion is among the first to give deserved credit to a win ning foe. For these reasons. Penn State praises the Naval Academy for the team which battled the Lion eleven in Washington last Friday and asserts that the middy team was the best that it has met this sea son. Also that the Navy team played just as good foothall as did the Blue and White warriors, but they did not deserve to win by fourteen points. Let the statement be explained. Penn State fought its hardest last Friday against a team that out weighed it, and it lost mainly because the “breaks” of the game were in favor of the midshipmen. From the statistics of the game, it can be seen that the Penn State team gained more yardage in scrimmage and forward passing than did their opponents; through which they were unable to gain consistently. A fumble proved costly and the punt ing of Cullen kept the Nittany team from the Navy goal. It was a game of fortune, in which the Dame smiled upon the sailors. The midshipmen played an excellent game and had a team which Penn State could hardly hope to defeat. They fought in a clean-cut manner and put forth their greatest energy in every play. Always they were on the alert and they have been well rewarded for their ef forts. Penn State can be proud of losing to such a foe. A WORD ABOUT THE TEAM The student body has no cause for being disheartened about the score of Friday’s game. This statement does not anticipate such an at titude, but is made as a tribute to a Blue and White team that can be measured according to the Nittany standards of the past and in no way found wanting. The line held like a concrete wall throughout the game. Only on a very few occasions were the Navy backs able to gain more than three yards. It repeatedly made holes through the heavier opposing line for the Penn State backs and fought desperately against Fate as few other teams have. The two substitutes, McCoy and Logue, strove with their teammates like veterans and gave a good account of themselves. McMahon broke through and blocked a kick on one occasion and check ed the Navy advance at several other times. Bedenk and Bentz bore the brunt of many an assault and gave no encouragement to the mid dies. They seemer imbued with the spirit of "They Shall Not Pass.” Hamilton started the game as a convalescent and stuck to his post throughout the battle. He was another important unit in the defense which he helped maintain, although suffering from injuries. Hufford did not sponsor any flashy plays, but he was steady and reliable, doing his share in every period. The backfiefd performed miracles when conditions arc considered. Lafferty played for the first time on a varsity eleven in a big game and gained at least one yard whenever called upon to carry the ball and more than once he made four or five yards. He proved to be a demon in attack and a boulder in defense. Kratz cannot claim as much yardage gained but he should be credited with the same attributes. On more than one occasion his work was commented upon favorably by sport critics. He bucked the line with a force and stubborn persist ence that brought dread to those facing him. Palm was outpunted and outgeneraled, but he did his best. No more can be expected of him. Time and again, he hurled his weight against the Navy line in a superhuman effort to pierce it; he called upon his muscles to give their all in end runs and when tackling. He played a game worthy of notice. Wilson, the veteran who starred for the first time in the Har vard game last year and who has added fresh laurels to his brilliant career ever since, proved to be the best ground gainer on the field. Conroy, McKee, Taylor, Barchet, and Cullen were good., but they could not equal the fast and determined Wilson who plowed through the line at will. He of all others, was the outstanding player of the day, and to him should go the credit for many of Penn State’s first downs. NOW IS THE TIME With three hard eastern teams and a western eleven to be con quered if the season is to a success, the student body is entrusted with a sacred duty of which it should prove worthy. The outcome of the last two games have been disappointing, but they were inevitable. The eleven men that represented the college on these occasions and who are scrimmaging every night under the expert coaching of Bczdek, composed a team of which Penn State may well be proud. They have acquitted themselves honorably on the field of battle. Now before the next contest, they look for words of encouragement from their classmates, who should not be slow in praising their efforts. Let every student, faculty member, alumnus and friend of the college stand back of those who are carrying the colors of Penn State and cheer them on as they struggle for the glory of their Alma Mater. FROSH IN THE IJMEUGHT The showing that the freshman football team made against the University of Pittsburgh freshmen last Saturday was a revelation to the spectators of the game. The college has been slow in realizing the worth of the yearlings and has failed to recognize their ability as gridmen. " Coach Hermann has developed a team that reflects no little credit on himself. In the home games this season, they have shown them selves to be far superior to any of the visiting aggregations. They have decisively beaten their ancient foes in the best freshman football games that have been seen on the campus in the last three years. If they keep up the good work, Penn State may have some new varsity material next year. 3 WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? From the number of underclassmen that put in an appearance for the tie-up scrap Saturday afternoon, it might be estimated that the col !f£i PO f eSSC , S aboUt si , x hundred freshmen and approximately two tU f d . r £ d s °P homores - Are customs getting so weak at Penn State hTIF h f C “Pe" cI T CS are V, nable t 0 compel an attendance of at least half of the underclass enrollment? The Student Tribunal is ready to take action, and action should be taken. The names of all freshmen l ndSOP u hO r r t eSWh ° fa " cd t 0 report on New Beaver Field for the scrap should be reported and dealt with accordingly. To those few sophomores who did report, the credit of victory is given, but to those who did not report is allotted the discredit of placing a blot on their class honor. The showing was deplorable.
