Jeffries Again Shifts Line-up To
Bolster Offense—Continues
Kicking, Passing Drills
iln Front of Goal
An oppoitumty to avenge last
year’s defeat at the hands of the
Middle socccrmen will be offered Penn
State’s booters when they meet the
strong Navy team on Old Beaver field
tomorrow morning at ten o’clock The
contest will be the first played be
tween the two combinations since
their entrance into the Intercollegiate
Soccer Association of America.
Memories of last season's loss to
Navy, the first defeat in seven years,
has spurred on the Blue and White
booters during practice sessions this,
week To date both teams have a
clean record m intercollegiate games
and a victory for one will mean a
good start toward the league cham
pionship. For this reason Coach Jef
fries has been putting the boys
through more strenuous drills than
for previous games.
Linc-up Again Changed
These drills have caused anothoi
change in the linc-up for the puiposc
of strengthening the forward line.
Last Saturday's draw with the Uni
versity of Toronto has further con
vinced Coach Jeffries that the booters
still lack the punch - to-score goals
when the chance presents itself. To
add to the offense he has advanced
Mollinger from centei halfback to
inside right. The remainder of the
line mil include Sciry and Pccon as
wingers, Marshall at inside left and
Griffin in at center forwaid
In recent senmmages the linemen
have easily earned the ball through
opposing defenses only to crowd be
fore the net or miss shoit shots that
should legistci as counters With
the last change In line-up, the Nit
tany soccer coach has drilled the for
wards especially m charging, pussing
and booting m fiont of the uprights
Backfield Seasoned
The position of center halfback
will likely be filled by Cockloy who
performed bulliantly in earlier
games. Composed of veterans, the
backfield has presented a stiong de
fense to enemy attackers, dealing the
goal many times when tallies weic
almost sure. Bell and Ropino it
halfbacks, Chcny and Captain Lip
pmcott at fullbacks and Semisch at
goal will complete the defense.
Last Saturday, Navy downed the
fast Lehigh aggregation by u scoi c of
2-1 to keep their season slate clean
Ir. this game the Navy defense saved
the team from defeat by its au-tight
playing. The greatest pioblcm of the
Lions wall be to penctiate this pow
erful backfield

ORCHESTRA FOR MUSIC
Function To Be Part of Varied
Week-end Program—Garber
Under Consideration
Scabbard and Blade, honorary mil
itary society, has selected Friday,
February twenty-nmth, as the final
date for the annual Military Ball.
The committee in charge is consider
ing some of the leading recording or
chestras to provide music for the af
fair and is making a special effort to
secure Jan Garber
This year the traditional policy of
scheduling a local orchestra will be
broken when a nationally known
group of musicians is engaged. Tho
committee is working through the
agency for the Victor, Brunswick and
Columbia recording orchestras
The large number of events sched
uled for the week-end of February
twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth influ
enced the committee in its choice of
a date. On Saturday afternoon State
boxers will meet the' University of
Pennsylvania team and the wrestling
team will engage the Navy grapplers
The Band will give a musical concert
in the Auditorium Sunday afternoon.
Another change from the usual
custom is the omission of favors.
Frothy Releases
“Oh Lena,” Latest
Attempt at Lyrical
Frothy has not forsaken us The
doughty men of comedy have prepar
ed another issue of the famed medium
of jest and will release it from Gra
ham’s this morning at eleven o’clock.
Of course it is named officially the
House Party issue
In the midst of the vcllow expanse
which is the cover, can be seen a man,
presumably a college man from the
l.ugc fur coat, and a girl. Such a
girl! In the background is a rail
way station, winch signifies, of
course, that tho boy is meeting for
the first time his Queen. Enthusias
tically and openly they arc embrac
ing. The whole is entitled “Import
Duty,"
The feature of the issue is a musi
cal affair winch will rival “I Love a
Co-ed” for melody and renown Three
pages are devoted to a rhapsody ti
tled "Oh! Lena" The fact that the
whole is in Dutch dialect, lifts the
composition from the rank of the or
dinary. “Chang” Smith is responsi
ble for the distorted lyric and “Lew”
Fisher for tho hot air.
Fifteen Enrolled in
Poultry Short Course
The sixth annual Poultry Short
Course opened Monday with an en
rollment of fifteen students from dif
ferent parts of the State. Practical
poultry management is being empha
sized throughout the course Tho

bandry of the College.
Among the activities of the Short
Course men were a meeting with *he
Poultry Club on Monday night nnd a
banquet nt the Centre Hills country
club. A practicum m judging for
standard production qualities tomor

Poultry Week.

whoso duty it shall be to entertain
the audience tonight.
