Tuesday, September 27, 1932 Between the Lions with The Sports Editor The probability is that if you were up at the Varsity-Ffeshman game Saturday, you walked off New Beaver Field feeling just a little bettei about prospects for the coming football season than you had felt here tofore. For, to us, the 'showing of the Higginsmen was reassuring, to say the least. We realize that the freshmen hadn't had much opportun ity to practice as a unit, but even that fact cannot discount entirely the effective running and line-smashing attack both the first and second ;teams-uncovered. One glaring fault' remains; and that is the varsity's .obvious weakness on passes--both defensively and offensively. Other wise, we face the opening of the season Saturday with something ap proaching equanimity. With more , §tudent.interest being manifest in the Harvard game than in any Lion grid tilt in recent years, arrangements for a bus or train ex cursion should be made. Although "everybody's broke" these days, we feel certain a large number of Nittany followers would follow the team to . Cambridge if transportation rates could be made low enough. And incidentally, it's not too early to think of reviving telephone returns 'for the stay-at-homes. Our Opponents Waynesburg-Iguskingum by upsetting a strong Muskingum eleven Friday night, 13-to-6, Frank Wolf's Yellow. Jackets sounded warning that they will. be every bit as formidable as the team which gave the Lions their first defeat last year Saturday's most surprising score was turned in at Syracuse, where ; the heavily-favored Orange eleven was lucky to eke out a 13-to-6 victory over little Clarkson. While the driving rain was a factor in the close ness of the score, it does not entirely explain Syracuse's oMtious defen sive, weaknesses. Colgate-St. Lawrence Running true to form, the powerful Maroon eleven scored in every period to swamp St. Lawrence by a 41-to-0 score in the season's opener f. at Hamilton Saturday. Sewancc-South Carolina True to early predictions, Sewanee's Tigers gave South Carolina a scare before the strong Southern Conference eleven was able to push over the last quarter touchdown that gave them - a 7-to-3 victory.

Five touchdowns . and four success ful placement kicks for the extra points gave the varsity its wide mar gin of triumph. Bill Lohr twice crossed the goal line for six-pointers and was responsible for three extra points via placement kicks, "Shorty" Mikelonis, Bill Kohut and Carl Wilts contributed a touchdown each and', Captain Collins make good one of his two tries for extra points. Shows Promise It was an encouraging bit of work that the varsity offered. True, the play was ragged in spots, tackling was weak, and it was virtually the first taste of scrimmage for. the year ling team, but in general the play showed plenty of promise for the cam paign to come. Conch Bob Higgins used almost' every man on the squad during the sixty minutes of play. The first stringers were in the game at the opening kickoff and the start of the third period; the second eleven saw action throughout the second and fourth quarters, and frequent substi tutions sent members of the third and fourth squads into action. Collins, Mikelonis, Harper and Wantshouse were in the starting back field, Slusser and McKee manned the ends, Berry and Cole were at the tackles, Kreizman and Hesch took . care of the guard posts, and Stan Za wacki filled the center berth.

Jim Bor ing, a sophomore halfback who re placed Harper .in , the first quarter, came up from halfback position on the defense to stop plays on more than one occasion, a,feat . that is likely to place him among the first ranking backs this week.. "King" Cole,' whose play at tackle has been consistently good since the start of practice, again stood out in the line play as did Berry, Hesch, Slusser and McKee. Bill Lohr and "Doc" Conn exhibited ball carrying ability that will rank them high among the backfield aspirants. Following the example set by Hig gins, freshman coach Nets Welke like wis%) used three or four complete elevens. Fry and Douglas were at the ends in the starting lineup, Weber and Cope, tackles, Hilton and Cress well, guards, and Kessler, center. F. O'Hara, Andrews, Knapp and Small were in the backfield for the yearl ings. The first year men put up a stub• born battle, although on only one or two occasions did they advance the ball into varsity territory. Bob Weber, Frazier, Knapp and F. O'Hara were outstanding both on offense and defense. To ➢iikelonis went the honor of DEAL & SON Plumbing and Heating 117 S. Fraziet: Street Car Storage $5 Per Month.

Lohr Scores Twice r Bill Lohr contributed the next six pointer, crossing the goal line soon after the second quarter got under way. Carl Wille recovered a fresh man fumble on the twenty-yard line, a play or two coupled with a five-yard penalty put the ball on the two-yard line, and Lohr carried it over on the next play.

Herman Returns as Spectator, Watches Lion Grid Practice "It's hard to stand along the sidelines and watch the boys out there playing. I feel completely out of things here for the first time in many years, and the urge to get back to coaching is pretty strong." It was Burke M. "Dutch" Her mann, who resigned his position as head basketball and assistant foot ball coach here last spring to take up graduate work at Columbia Uni versity, speaking. "Dutch" was one of the most interested of the spectators at the varsity football practices last week. The former coach will begin his graduate work in history at Colum bia 'University today. Although he doesn't intend to do any coaching this year, he's already looking for ward to seeing the Lion-Temple and possibly the Lion-Harvard games this fall. yardage. Forward passes were at tempted on such rare occasions that this end of the offense appear:id much weaker than it really is. Lack of experienced ends promises the major worry to Higgins this week. Tommy Slusser and Buck McKee rank as the top-flingers at the pres ent time, since Brewster, Grimshaw and Rosenberg," 1931 letter-winners, are quite unlikely to be available for Saturday's opener with Lebanon Val ley. 1!=Ell Page Three
