Squad of Forty Responds to Coach Bezdek's
Grooming Captain Greenshields
111 With Pnuemonia
Despite the loss through illness of ll Opens Chapel Services
their captain, Donn Greenshields, Penn
Stato's football warriors, showing ef
fects of Conch Bezdek's careful groom
ing, are rounding into pre-season teem
after neatly two weeks of rigorous
naming.
According - to a bulletin issued by
Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour, director of
the College Health Service who is
attending Captain Greenshields the
bully tackle is suttming from an at
tack of pneumonia. The physician
stated that his condition, although
serious, is by no means critical.
Vacancies Worry Remick
The Lion mentor is concerned chief
ly with the vacancies caused by the
loss -through graduation of Roepke,
Lurgren, Mahoney and, Lesko from
last year's eleven. Although lacking
experience, members of the 1927
Deshman team are battling for .the
positions formerly occupied by the
ribose quintet
Of the forty candidates seeking
plates on the Penn State machine,
only tine° are mums. Delp, lioness
and Wolff compose the trio entering
thee last year of collegiate football
Captain Greenshields will be the
fourth semi when he returns to the
squad
=MEI
Bezdelt has selected two tentative
teams and has pitted them against
each other during the past weel, On
the first eleven, Delp and Stahley
compose the ends, Ricker and Shawley
the tackles, while Panaccion and Mat
letteimen last year, are posted
at the guaid positions Herb Esch
bach, husky Junior, takes Rog Ma
honey's place as center. Jdell^r
at quartet, Steve Haman at fullback
and Wolff and Diedrich as halts coin
piise the backfield.
The second combination has McAn
,ercws•at .cente -with Zorellio and Du
vnll supporting him as guards. Ros
enfeld and Zeising are showing fine
defensive work as tackles while Kap
lan and Edwards, former freshman
luminaries, occupy the terminal posts
French, Hensle, McCracken and Evans
compose the second-string backfield.
A shouldet injury to Ed Collins,
fullback and captain of last year's
plebe team, has caused a good deal of
work to the Lion coaches. Although
still unable to take part in scrimmage,
Collins drills with the squad taking
his turn at punting and running The
former freshman leader hopes to re
sume his quest for n position on the
lust eleven within the nest week.
Regular scrimmages dining the
past few days produced some fine open
held running by Allie Wolff and Joe
Miller. The boxing captain, a po
tent threat in last yem's offense ano
second only to Roepke, contributed
several long runs through the second
team's defense and aided the other
backs consiticiably with fine intuit°,
ence
Miller, stationed at quarterback,
has been showing much improvement
in running the team and at the same
time has carried the bail for long
sprints against the B chases, Lion
coaches expect much from the formes
Wilkinsburg speedboy and hope to
develop him into a sparkling triple
threat man
Although only a substitute on last
year's plebe team, Red Evans, tangy
fullback candidate, surprised Coach
Budd: with his unusual punting abil
ity. Time and again Red booted the
pigskin for distances averaging fifty
yards and several tunes propelled
spirals that were good for even great
er yardage.
Line Looms Strong
Composed of four lettermen, three
of whom ate Juniors, the Penn State
line appears foimulable both in of
fense and defense. Led by the trio
of 200-pounders, Panacmon, Shawley
and Ruler, the Nittany first defense
