Between the Lions

The Sports Editor
HOW ABOUT IT?
Tomprrow, 'eleven men will trot out on New Beaver
Field bearing Penn State's 1932 football hopes.
In a sense, they will be bearing not only the fortunes
of this season but the destiny of Penn State's future in the
king of intercollegiate sports.. This is a crucial year for
our "noble experiment." The- eyes of the football world
. will turn again to Penn State . with the question—Can suc
cessful' teams be developed where a non - :scholarship rule
exists? • An unsuCcessful season will not only present a
disheartening answer to . this query but will also sound a
-new low for Penn State's fast-waning athletic, prestige.
• Unheralded i•id-unsung, the team will begin tomorrow
the gigantic task of making a. creditable showing as they
plod their way through a schedule Which includes four of
the strongest teams in the East. Their load has, been made
heavier by an injury jinx which has taken a toll of five of
their most promising fellow-players before a single inter
collegiate contest has been played.
,
The men on 'this Year's. Lion eleven are playing the
game because they love to play. They are the crystalliza
tion of Penn State's ideal that the principles of amateurism
must not be violated. Willingly they are making the sacri
fices training demands, because they have as their goal
placing Penn State back in its former position in the foot
ball world.
MI the support an appreciative student body can give
should 'be the lot of bath the squad and Head' Coach Bob
Higgins. The team will be out there fighting, no matter
how disheartening the odds. In spirit, every Penn Stater
should be making the same fight. The job won't be half so
tough 'nor the sting of defeat half so bitter if we're out
there pulling together.
'How about it?
Our Opponents
The Crimson's inexperienced backfield will get its first test against
Buffalo tomorrow, if the Buffalo eleven can really be called a test. It'll
be an easy victory for Harvard, whose line should hold Buffalo score
less.
Syracuse-St. Lawrence
Vie Hanson has his men rarin' to go after last Saturday's disappoint-
ing start against. Clarkson, and the Larries, already buffeted around
by the Colgate steam-roller should prove easy victims. The Orange
should win by five touchdowns.
. .
..
Little Case will hardily provide much more opposition for the jogger-
..
aiii.ii'.A.iid'Y Kerr has developed . a:t'fiamdlton than'aidst. Lawrence. Our
1 guess is 'that:the score won'ehe as high, but the victory will be just as
impressive
Se)vanee-Ncntucky
After a plucky Conference start against South Carolina's Game
cocks last week, the Sewanee Tigers will not fare so well when they stack
up against Harry Garnage'sl Blue Grass eleven tomorrow. Kentucky,
we'd say, will win by at least two touchdowns.
We have a hunch that little Thiel will prove surprisingly stubborn
to the Owls, in their first game, tonight. However the Cherry and White
should be on top when the smoke clears by just about three six-pointers.
This and That
• The Football Annual listi Charlie Way '2O among the game's "Men
of Destiny" .. . Speaking of tilt , . Lions' 1032 prospects, the book says,
"The Nittany Lions arc not the lambs of last year—not quite." . Oh,
yeah? . .. And if you play 'football, did play football, •or will play
football, you're still wecome up at NeW Beaver Field . . .

tomorrow with Al Mikelonis and

6 Veterans Listed
Six veterans are included •in the
team that will take the field for Leb
anon Valley, four of than on the line
and two in the backfield. Captain
Kazlusky, left guard, Williams, left
end, Wogan, center, Volkin, right
tackle, and• Feeser and Rust, half
backs, are the lettermen on this year's
Annville team.
Although the remaining five men
on tha visiting team weren't letter
winners in 1931, Sprenkle, left tackle,
Kandrat, right guard, and Stone, full
back, are seniors with past experience.
Smith, right end, and Frank Boran,
quarterback, arc the only sophomores
expected to start.
Although Lebanon Valley is also
opening its season with tomorrow's
game, early practices have revealed
Captain Kazlusky, Williams, Rust and
Boran as outstanding in their play.
The Annville gridders began practice
on Monday, September 12, almost a
week later than the Lions.
Lions Average 175 Pounds
Comparison of the weights of the
two teams gives the Lions a slight
advantage. With Kreizman starting
in place of Kane, the Lions will have
a team average of 175 pounds, with
the line averaging 178 1 / 2 , pounds and
the backfield, 1693 c., pounds.
Lebanon Valley boasts a team aver
age of 173 pounds, the-line averaging
177 pounds and the backfield 165.
The visiting line tips the scales at an
average of two pounds per man
heavier than the Blue and White line
men but the Lion backs average al
most five pounds heavier than the
Lebanon Valley ball-carriers.

tough time. in winning last year.
However, the spirit on our• squad is

help us in tomorrow's game."
Line Play Encouraging
Heavy scrimmage against the sec
ond team gave the varsity an oppor
tunity to deyelop its offensive and de
fensive play this week. The first
stringers registered' a quartet of
touchdowns Against the second eleven
in Monday's scrimmage and continued
their excellent work by marking up
three more in Tuesday's practice ses
sions. •
Mikelonis, sophomore halfback,
should provide his share of the thrills
in tomorrow's fray, judging from the
calibre of his work, the past two
weeks. The little halfback displayed
some brilliant ball-carrying ability
since he hit his stride last week and
right now ranks as the best offensive
threat in the .Lien backfield.
Another encouraging bit has been
the line play. Although fairly light,
the Nittany, forward s wall . has con
sistently opened holes in the heavy
second string line in every scrimmage
and should be more than a match for
the slightly heavier Lebanon Valley
line.
ROOTERS PREPARE

Saturday=2l Veterans
Bolster Squad
By WILLIAM B. PROTHERO 11
With forty men, many of them ex
perienced on last year's varsity, work
ing out daily, Lion hooters promise . to
present a formidable lineup in their
opening match with Lafayette next
Saturday.

though they will meet strong compe
tition for varsity berths from a num
ber of .promising sophomores.
Frank Tully and Homer Manwar
ing will compete for the goalkeeper's
'post left vacant by Captain Ted Mc-
Kune, of last year's eleven. Hank
Hartzler is the outstanding candidate
for left fullback, the position he filled
last season.. Right fullback will prob
ably fall to Rudy Lindquist or Dick
Sigel, a sophomore.
Evans To Play Half
Frank Evans is expected to fill left
half, the place he occupied a year ago,
while (the two Bobs, Graham and
Young, fight it out for right halfback.
Captain Al Daykin will resume his
place at center halfback, with Ed Mc
-1 (inn a possible rival.
Coach Bill Jeffrey will have an
abundance of material for the five of
fensive positions. Tom Wood, Swede
