SOCCERMEN FIGHT TO 2-2 TIE WITH TORONTO VISITORS Serry and Griffin Score Pair of Pointers in First Minutes of Play—Both Teams Show Aggressive Attack CANADIANS ON TOUR Will Meet Syracuse, Haverford And Swarthmore Booters in Invasion —Visiting Goalie Stars Despite Injury Two five minute overtime penods following the regulation ninety min utes of play failed to determine a winner and both the Penn Stats and Toronto soccer teams had to be con tent with a 2-2 draw in a game that was a real battle from the opening whistle here Saturday. Five hundred persons were on hard to view the en counter. The Nittany booters literallv swept the Canadians off then-feat m the op ening minutes of the fray and before the visitors could get their healings Penn State was in the \an by a two goal margin. From this point a let down in the play of the Blue and White aggregation was noticeable The Toronto playeis, undaunted by the sudden turn of affairs, kept plug ging away until they had drawn up on even terms with their opnonenls. Griffin and Serry Tally Less than three minutes of the game hod been played when Guilin got loose from a scrimmage in fiont of the Toronto goal and shot the lea ther into a coiner of the net for the first tally. It was a perfect place ment. Shortly after this score, Sei'j bj a brilliant piece of individual work dnbbled -the spheroid 'thrrty yards through the uprights for Penn State’s second and final counter. Toronto Braces With seeming defeat just around the corner Toronto stiffened m its defensive play and with an offense made effective by short snappy pass es, soon carried the play into Lion territory. The seoond scoic on the othci hand had an inveise psycholog ical effect on the home team The Lions appeared to underestimate the leal strength of their opponents fol lowing the two quick scoies The Nit tany players became an oidinaiy team. Near the end of the initial quartei Downing, the visiting outside right, icceivcd an accuinte pass from the wing in fiont of the Blue nnd White goal and quickly converted it into a score.

SOCIETY DISCUSSES PRIMARY ELECTIONS Advisability of System at Penn Stale Is Considered by Pi Lambda Sigma SUGGESTED TO DESTROY INFLUENCE OF CLIQUES Discussion of the advisibibty of in troducing primaries into the election system now in vogue at Penn State was heard at a meeting of Pi Lamb da Sigma, honorary pre-legal frater nity, last week Arguments were ad vanced concerning both the merits and disadvantages of election by the rrimary system.

A hail storm made handling the ball difficult and hampered the attendance It was the plebcs’ fifth defeat and their final game of year. Errors Converted Into Scores Both teams were evenly matched but the anxiety of the Orange to av enge last year’s setb ick and two Lion errors, one in the first quarter and the other in the last, both resulting in touchdowns', gave the home team the edge. - After these misplays, a fumble and an intercepted forward pass, it was Sammy Sebo, the Orange fullback, who plunged’thiough for the markers. His offensive drives continually kept the yearlings on tho alert and he fur nished tho real threat in the Onon dagan camp Although the Lion team showed improvement over its past playing Joe Miller, quarterback was the invading satellite Disastrous Season Friday’s reverse marked the end of the Penn State plebcs’ unsuccess ful season, failing to win a contest in five starts It was the worst sea son in years Three times tho cubs cringed before prep school gndders and twice they were downed by col lege freshmen.
