VOL. 27, No. 4 Lion Gridmen Unleash Smashing Offense To Down Niagara, 31-14 French Leads Nittany Offensive With 3 Touchdowns VISITORS - PIERCE SCRUBS TWICE WITH AIR ATTACK New Yorkers Repulse Attack in First Period—Penn State Hits Pace at Half Unloosing a furious offense in the third quarter after being held al most to a standstill in the first half, Penn State rolled up a total of nine teen points and finally smothered an experienced Niagara university team under a 31-to-14 score on New Beaver field Saturday afternoon. Cooper French, veteran of two previous Nittany campaigns, gave evi dence that he has embarked upon what is to be his greatest year on the giuhron Outguessing the visitors'i wingmen time and time again, Coop tan back Sieg's kicks from 10 to 65 yards, and in addition scored three of Penn State's touchdowns, The appearance of Yutz Diedrich in the lineup was a surprise to fol lowers of the Lien team The Nit tany leader had not taken part in a practice game since Tuesday, but he considerably bolstered up the Blue and White defense, although used sparing ly on the offense. Judy Lasich and Bob Snyder were important cogs in the Lion attack Lasich hit the line for long gains when yardage was most needed, while Snyder's ability as a pass receiver was more than evi dent. Lion Attack Repulsed Although Coach Higgins had ex pected the Nev. York team to furnish stubborn opposition for his charges in his first game as head mentor of the Nittany Lions, the slashing at tack exhibited by the visitors in the opening quarter was something of a surprise. After Diedrich had sent his opening kickoff soaring over the goal line, the Purple and White team immediately uncorked an effective n uniting attack. Apparently gaining at ease through a Nittany line than had not begun to function smoothly, Niagara received a serene setback, when penalized 15 yards rot holding, and was forced to attempt a pass within the shadow of its goal line. Sieg, who was the dominant factor in the Niagara offense, passed the ball directly in the hands of Lasich who was downed on the 25-yard line Again a 15-yard penalty aided the Lions and the ball was placed on the 10-yard mark. Thee slashes at the line netted the Blue and White team only 5 more yards, and on the fourth down French's pass NI, en t over the goal line for a touchback Alertness on the past of Bob Sny- ' der paved the way for Penn State's : (Continued on third page) TRIBUNAL TO HEAR STUDENT PLEAS Group Will Consider Upperclassmen Transfer Cases in Varsity Hall Tomorrow Night In its first meeting this semester, Student Tribunal will hear petitions of new students who have taken cus toms at other colleges and sophomores who demo to be excused from taking customs in the lecture room of Var sity Hall at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.
