r Between the Lions
L with
The Sports Editor
We don't know how.you fed about it, but that 27-to-0 grid victory
•looked pretty good to.us. If we were inclined to be poetic in any way,
we’d compare ithe sun’s peeping through the clouds over New Beaver
Field to the light of a new era of football glory shining its way through
the mists that have befogged Penn prestige for the past
few years. (Or, maybe on second thought, we wouldn’t write tripe like
that even if we were inclined to be poetic). Nevertheless, we do contend
that the fine showing both the varsity and reserves made against Lqb
anon Valley should be an indication of a more- substantial column of
victories in the offing. We'd be even more enthusiastic about the sea
son's prospects if he- believed thoroughly in the maxim that a good
' offense Is the best defense. This saying may be true to some extent, but
it was obvious Saturday that even the unusually good offense was being
hindered by the Lions’ glaring faults on the defensive. However, since
ai these weaknesses were confined mainly to the end play, things will prob
ably look better by the time the first major game rolls 'round, and the
first-stringers recover from their injuries.
Speaking of the “first major game” brings to mind the vast amount
, 0 f enthusiasm for the Harvard tilt displayed about town over the week
end. Certainly, unless the-Lions fail to leap their last remaining hurdle
this week-end, a surprisingly large number of Penn Staters intend to
'make the trek to Cambridge. Those who can contemplate nothing better
than -remaining at home have been outspoken in their desire to have the
old system of telephone returns revived. 0. K.,.Mr. Fleming? ,
, Our Opponents
Wayncsburg-Slippcry Rock
Proving that thoimictory over'Muskingum last week was no “fluke,”
the Yellow'Jackets marched to an easy 19-to-o,decision over Slippery
Rock Saturday. Full steam ahead, they're bound for New Beaver Field
Saturday.
Harvard-Buffalo
1 With machine-like precision, the Crimson rolled up ten touchdowns
over Buffalo Saturday as definite warning to all opponents that Har
vard is going places this year. The final score was GG-to-O.
Syracuse-St. Lawrence
Any doubts the Orange’s followers may have had about its strength
nfter its disappointing showing against Clarkson last week were dis
pelled Saturday night when the big team from the Hill ran roughshod
-over St. Lawrence, 54-to-0.
, The Maroon faced sterner opposition .than St. Lawrence Saturday
but was extended at no time during the game and ran up a 27-to-0 score.
Soleau was the shining bnckfield star.
Sewanee-Kentucky
Kentucky's powerful, - well-balanced eleven proved entirely too much
for the boys from Tennessee and emerged on the long end of an 18-to-0
score. However, 'the Blue Grass eleven had to fight every inch of the
' Showing more drive than had been expected from their apparent
early season lethargy, Temlo’s Owls had no trouble in scoring five
touchdowns on little Thiel in their debut Friday night. That powerful
Temple line played the main role in the 31-to-0 victory.
This and That
Just.who did start that paper airplane craze at the game anyway?
, And, what with the freshmen yelling “We want beer” can' it be
true that the yearlings are getting wetter and still more damp? . . .
Do you know that the victory Saturday was the first time'State has won
two grid games in a row since the Lebanon Valley and Marshall games
of 1930? ... (The other one? That post season Lehigh classic, you
dopes) . . . Was it fate that brought the Catholic *U. team on the C. C.
N. Y. schedule on New Years? . . . And did you know that two of th^
more kindly looking gentlemen at the game were scouts from Harvard
and Syracuse?

(‘Continued from page one )
only twenty-one-yards with 235 yards
to 214 for Lebanon Valley.
Inability to solve the visitors' for
ward and lateral pass plays gave the
Nittany defense the most trouble, more
than half of the Lebanon Valley yard
age resulting from its aerial attack.
The losers resorted to a passing attack
almost exclusively in the second half.
The encouraging feature of the
Lions' defensive ploy was their goal
line stands in the first and third quar
ters when Lebanon Valley advanced
the ball to within five yards of scor
ing and then lost the ball on downs.
Many of the visitors’ forward passes
were batted down or intercepted by
alert Lion backs.
Slusser Plays End
Tommy Slusser, Parker Berry,
“King” Cole, and Lou Kreizman were
the outstanding linemen on the de
fense, Cole particularly showing to ;
advantage by breaking through the
Lebanon Valley- line_to stop plays.
Slusser, who dispelled a lot of gloom
by definitely returning to College on,
Friday, dominated the State end play.
With Slusser back in the fold, Coach
Higgins named Tommy and Mahlori
Heist for his starting wingmen,. Cole
and Woolbert as the tackles, Hesch
and Kreizman as the guards, and Za
wacki as center. Captain Collins,
Mikelonis, Harper and Wantshouse
were in the backfield at the first kick- j
off.
32 Saw Action
Some thirty-two men saw action for,
the Blue and White during the four
quarters of play. McKee, Wjlle, Sigel,
and Conn broke in as replacements in
the first half, and an entir-e new team,
composed of McAndrews and Mere
dith, ends, Flood and Berry, tackles,
Allen and Johnson, guards, Anderson,
center, Skemp, Lohr, Sigel and Mor
rison, backs, started the third quar
ter. Boring, Rich, Kohut and' Rod
ham were given a chance later in the
second half.

6 Lettermen To Have Places in Lineup Against
Lafayette—Yearling Squad Defeats
Varsity Candidates, 4-to-0
liy WILLIAM 11. I'll
With another season without a de
feat as their goal, Penn State soccer
men yesterday entered the final week
of practice for their opening game
with Lafayette Saturday.
Six leltermen are practically assur
ed of positions in the opening lineup
for the Leopard match. The remain
ing posts are hotly contested by men
with experience on last year's squad,
and sophomores, with the probability
that promising candidates from both
groups will be given an opportunity
to show their mettle Saturday.
In a practice game with the fresh
man squad Friday afternoon the Nit
tany hooters suffered their first defeat
since 1931, allowing Coach Bill Jeffrey
and Dutch Miller, freshman mentor,
to accumulate four goals. Jeffrey
played center forward and Miller in-
