will be installed in the press box on
New Beaver Fifeld, enabling the results
to be broadcasted play by play D M

SOCCERMEN BATTLE
ORANGETOMORROW
Lion Booters Open Collegiate
Schedule Here—Syracuse
Strength Unknown
LINE-UP SHIFTED TO GIVE
BACKFIELD MORE POWER
Aided by the experience obtained
last week from the Altoona game,
Penn State booters will open the reg
ular intercollegiate schedule here
when they meet Syracuse on Old
Beaver field tomorrow. The game
will be played in. tho morning at ten
o'clock.
Last week’s showing of the Blue
and White team* against a combina
tion as.-strong- l as' l Aitev.iia. iwn«inced
Coach Jeffries that the booters should
offer opposition to any college aggre
gation. The line which showed up
well has continued its aggressive
ness during practices this week In
scrimmages against the freshmen the
Varsity forwards have easily pene
trated the defense to< toe the sphere
for goals.
Although the backfield was some
what weak because of inexperienced
men, its strength w’lll be increased
for the Orange battle as Captain Lip
pmcott has been shifted to his old po
sition at fullback. Cockley will like
ly replace Decetti as right halfback
Cherry and Lippincott in the full
back positions and Repino, Mollmgcr
and Cocklcy as halfbacks make a fast,
fighting backfield.
Because of an injury in last Sat
urday’s game, Serry will not be able
to play tomorrow The forward line
will be chosen from Pccon, Griffin,
Glaser, Marshall, Jacobson and
Stnmlan Horn will likely start at
goal.
Since the Syracuse booteis have
met no college aggiegation to date
their strength is not known. How
ever, in former years the Orange
has produced soccer teams of consid
erable ability. For this reason Coach
Jeffries anticipates a fast battle from
the visitors tomorrow.

If the Lion cubs display the same

side, greaty aided in smearing the
line plunges and hidden-ball plays of

Faulk and Ricker were especially ef

The Varsity scored only’ because it
was given the ball on every play whe

Coach Hermann was pleased with his
new line-up and will probably enter
the same combination of scrappers
against Kiski.
Gettings Quarterback
Starting with the left flank Coach
Hermann will start the lithe Faulk at
end, Parana at tackle, Brown guard
and Boots Shuler, acting-captain, cen
