Waynesburg Eleven
Defeats Lions, 7-0
Nittany Defense Falls
Before Air Attack
of Jackets
Unable to check the passing at
tack of the Waynesburg Yellow Jack
ets, Penn State’s gnd team dioppod
its opening game of the 1931 season
by a 7-to-0 score on New Beaver*
field Saturday afternoon.
Although Coach Bob Higgins’ team
outshone its opponents in number
first downs legistored, by a 10-to-7
count, there is little doubt that Coach
Frank Wolf’s proteges earned their
victory, the second that the Western
Pennsylvania institution has gained
in State College in less than a year.
Through the fine running of Rab
Currie and the accurate passing of
Johnny Ross the Yellow Jackets man
aged to snatch from the grasp of the
Lions, a victory which means much
to any comparatively new team at
the opening of a season
Using the lateral pass as a means
of getting into Lion territory, Currie,
Waynesburg back, employed the same
play to register the only score of the
day Immediately before the scoiing
Johnny Ross had completed a for
ward pass to Jake Porter who ran to
the State two-yard line. After Rol
lason gained a yard through the line
Currie raced around right end for the
touchdown
Halt Lion Advances
Twice m the opening period the
Lions failed after they had passed
the twenty-five yard marker, once on
the fourteen-yard line and once from
the twenty-two yard stripe. In these
two marches the Lions made four
fust downs.
Onlv once after the first quarter
did the Blue and White advance the
oval beyond the Waynesburg thirty
five jard line and this time the Hig
gins-coachcd machine failed to gain
the necessaiy yardage m four downs.
The Jackets soon punted out of dan
ger and from then on the pigskin was
in State’s territory
Receiving Lasich’s opening kickoff
on the ten-yaid line and returning
the ball fifteen yards, the Jackets
punted and the Blue and White ad
vanced the ball by a forward pass,
Moonves to Snyder The pass was
good for twenty-three yards and was
followed by the Lion leader’s line
plunging which brought the ball to
the twenty-three yard line. Here the
Lions faltered the first time.
Punt Out of Danger
After punting out of danger, the
Jackets’ line yielded to the thrusts
of Willie, Moonves, and Lasich until
the Lions reached the fourteen yard
stripe. Here Coach Wolf’s team
withstood the furthest attack made
by the Blue and White when Sny
det’s attempted forward pass, to
Moonves was not completed.
Fallowing an exchange of punts,
UurriF skirted right end'for" a first
down by using a lateral pass. From
this point, the Lion foity-foui yard
line, Ross tossed a pass to Porter
who caught the oval on the State
twenty-four yard line and ran to the
tw o-yard marker before being
biought down At this position Rol
lason made one yard on a line thrust
and Currie followed with another lat
eral pass play and a touchdown
£ortei kicked the extra point from
placement
During the remainder of the sec
ond period the ball remained near
midfield although Currie thieatened
each time he caught a Lion punt. The
third period found the Waynesbuig

Play Straight Football
Not taking any chances after they
had advanced the oval to the Lion
twenty-eight yard mark by a for
ward pass, Ross to Donley, the Jack
ets became content with straight
football and kept the ball deep in
State territory almost the entire
quarter. On two occasions the Lions
had possession of the ball within the
shadows of their goal posts, but man
aged to kick out of the'danger both

With over twenty-five promising
varsity candidates working out daily,
the Lion harriers will present a for
midable team in defense of the inter
collegiate cross country champion
ship won last year at Van Cortland
Park, in New York City.
The Nittany team will open its sea
