Cox Beats Loucks and Offenhauser Takes Third
As Penn State Breaks Sixteen-year
Reign—Keane Lauds Winners
Penn State’s harriers toppled Syra-I
cuse, the 1925 intercollegiate champ
ion, from its enviable pinnacle
here Saturday by wanning from the
Orange, 25-30, over a five mile course
to bring an end to the invader’s stel
lar record of being undefeated in a
dual meet for the last sixteen years_
A gruelling battle between Bill Cox
and Clint Loucks, the invaders cap
tain, marked the meet but Cox show
ed his superiority by his flashy finish
and apparent freshness after the
grind. Loucks had undergone an op
eration on this nose a few days ago,
which irritated him slightly but the
plucky leader ran one of the best
races he has ever staged.
Keane Praises Penn State
Speaking of the setback Coach Tom
Keane had the highest praise for the
Lion squad and for Nate Cartmdl,
Lion conch. “The better team won.
I have no alibi Youi men ran hard
er and faster than Syiacuse and vic
tory for you was inevitable. I’m sat
isfied that no matter what Loucks
had done that Cox would have beat
en him. He’s a great lad and Nate
has a wonderful team',”
Oartmell commended his proteges
and was well pleased with the show
ing of Cox, who broke the course rcc
pid by fifty seconds, and George Off
enhauscr who finished third. Both
are sophomores. He explained that
Captain Fouracrc had an off day or
he would have finished better than
seventh “It was a thrilling battle
but Bill was the master. After meet
ing Pitt out there Saturday I hope
we can race some team over the Van
Cortland park course to get in shape
for the Intcrcollegiates.”
Cox Leads From Start
At the gun Cox jumped into the
lead. Cox, Fouracre, Offenhauser
and Reis led during the first two laps
on New Beaver and were setting a
fast pace as they left for the golf
course
Starting the first lap on the course,
Cox, Loucks and Fouracic drew away
from the van, with the first mentioned
in the lead. Still at a rigorous pace,
they lengthened their lead over Reis
and Offenhauser, of State, and Jenk
ins of Syrcuse, who were followed by
Stewart of State and Proudlock and
Ruppert of Syracuse
As the men completed the fiist cir
cuit, Cox and Loucks were abreast
and running smoothly, although the
latter seemed to be tioubled in

KISKI HANDS CUBS
THEIR THIRD LOSS
Plebes Fight Vainly Against
Superior Eleven—Many
Alumni See Clash
RUNS OF BENNETT AND
DAY FEATURE 31-0 WIN
It was a heavier and cleveier Kiski
eleven that downed the freshman
team Saturday morning on New Bea
ver practice field The cubs fought
gamely but they weie easily out
classed and the prep school lads scoi
ed m every quarter. The 31-0 shut
out was the third yearling setback
this season and was witnessed by a
holdiay crowd that completely inclos
ed the field
The Kiski line appeared to out
weigh Penn State by at least twelve
pounds each man, one tackle, Pincura
tipping the beam ’-at 240. The 'in
vader’s backfield had a shifty attack
and the quartet proved to be wiry
and elusive, causing the plebe tack
lers to miss their quarry time and
again.
Kiski Takes Offensive
ICiski took the offensive with the
Icck-off and scoied a touchdown on
a forward pass after the first three
plays, but the freshmen prevented
any score until Bennett drop-kicked
a goal in the second quarter Two
touchdowns m the third canto and a
fourth in the last brought the total
to 31.
Bennett and Day, of Kiski, were
easily the stars of the day, with their
evasive ball-carrying, their passing
and accurate goal kicking Stornc,
left end, was also effective. For the

Offense and Passing To

PENN STATE FORWARDS
MISS KICKS FOR GOALS
Taking the ball from the opposing
men almost at will and breaking up
the drives of the offensive linemen
with case, Penn State’s socccrmcn dis
played superior aggressiveness and
passing to down Syracuse 5-1 on Old
Beaver field Saturday morning.
During the greater part of the
game the play remained m Orange
teintory uheic the Blue and White
hooters executed clever passing to
dose in on the goal. These drives,
however, were useless in many cases
because the final boot to score went
wild This inability to tally at the
opportune time deprived the Lions of
numerous counters
Backfield Strong
The backfield, especially the full
backs, kept Penn State’s goal safe by
lengthy boots to the line and through
fast charges to block the oncoming
Syracuse forwards Only four times
did the Orange line penetrate the
backs for a chance at the Blue and
While net Their lone tally came soon
afcei the opening of the second half
when the visiting inside left received
a long pass, dribbled through a Nit
tany back and made a clean shot for
a counter
Penn State’s wings, outside left and
right, made possible two of the Lion
tallies by their dubbling down the
s.ucs to follow with accurate posses to
inside linemen near the enemy net.
Two other goals were scored from
corner bootv, the fifth coming from
the toe of Strimlan who took the ball
down the center of the field to count.
From kick-dff, play went to the Sy
racuse goal only to be broken up by
the Orange backs who passed to the
Blue and White goal. Here the Nit
