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

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. So
' wanee proved that it cannot be classed as a ! `setup" for any team.

Captain "Spike" Collins and his
varsity football mates gave their first
exhibition of power Saturday— an ex
hibition that netted them a decisive
34-to-0 triumph over a determined
and husky freshman eleven.
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. An en
tire new team, composed of Lohr,
Morrison, Wille and Skemp, backs,

Mikelonis gave the best demonstra
tion of ball carrying of the day, gain
inging yard after yard from scrim
mage and return of punts. 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.

Lohr Scores Twice
r Bill Lohr contributed the next six

after the second quarter got under
