Despite the hopeful outlook at the beginning of the year the trial run revealed that the Lions will have to display more endurance and speed to win from Captain Clint Loucks and his crew.

Anything But A-Niemiec PRICE FIVE CENTS Bewildered by tbe onrush of the Notre Dame legions and struggling vainly against an overwhelming at tack Penn State’s football team, sym bolized by the Nittany Lion, was driv en to its first defeat of the season at the hands of Knutc Rockne's eleven on Cartier Field, Indiana. Saturday afternoon. A touchdown in each quarter gave the Irishmen a deserved 2S-0 victory. Swept off its feet in the opening ir mutes of play when O’Boyle snared a long pass from Parisionc and loped thirty yards for a touchdown, the Penn State forwards twice crushed the Notre Dame attack within the shadow of the Lion goal posts in the first quarter, but the green-jerseyed backs ; would not be denied. Lion Attack Halted The veteran Irish forward wall smothered the Nittany offensive in its tracks and opened huge holes for the fast-stepping South Rend backs. Notre Dame advanced the pig-skin four hundred and sixty-one yards from scrimmage, while the Blue and White fought bitterly for every inch of sixty-four yards. A half-frozen crowd of twenty-four ‘ thousand sat spell-bound as the per fect interference of the Irishmen swept aside the futile resistance of the Bezdckians. Long runs by' Nie miec and Dahnian provided plenty of I thrills. Numerous penalties marred the game, both teams being guilty of major offenses, but Rockne’s batter ing backs clicked off the return yard ages. Mahoney starred in the Nit tany line. Irishmen Score Early . Captain .Edwards won.the toss and elected ’to; kick with '.a"' biting ;wind' at his back NiomiecV. boot . sailed over the. Lion goal and the ball was put in play at the twenty-yard line. McManmon tossed Hamas for a yard loss and Cy Lungrcn kicked against a high wind to Parisienc, who weaved his way back to the Nittany thirty five yard line. After a five-yard penalty had been imposed upon the Lions, O'Boyle picked up two yards at- tackle, and Dahman made it first down around left end. Pnriesiene’s accurate toss to O’Boyle enabled him to race across the goal line with the first six-pointer of the game. Niemicc kicked a place ment for the extra point. Hamas ran back Niemiec’s kick to the thirty-five yard line and smashed for three yards at left tackle. Prit chard went through for four yards and on the next play crashed the line for three more ami a first down. Here the Lion offensive was halted and Lungren punted to Pariesionc on hi 3 twenty yard line, who was downed in his tracks by Lcsko. Nittany Line Holds A fifteen yard penalty for roughing after a substantial gain by Dahman put the ball on the Penn State twenty yard line. Dahman swung to the Blue and White eight-yard line on a reverse play, but a fifteen yard pen alty against the Irishmen halted their attack. Maxwell received an aerial for a ten-yard gain, and Penn State was penalized five. / Pritchard stopped O’Boyle at left tackle. Captain Edwards reported for Tarisicnc and Captain Weston for Lesko. Neimeic bored five yards, but failed to make first down, the ball (Continued on last page.)
