Between the Lions
The Sports Editor
Last' Saturday, after that hitter game, the numerous “Corner
Coaches” that infest the Penn State campus opened their season. Be
tween hard fought rubbers of bridge they derided the varsity coaching
staff. During intermission of strenuous dances they condemned the
purity- policy of the administration. - With every nickel “coke” another
end ot halfback 'was thrown into the scrap heap. Even the color scheme
/of the' team was found wanting. They did f>raise the trumpet player in
the freshman band and the water wagon. (Why don’t they climb on?)
While the “Corner Coaches” were trying to lose the rest of the games
this season the- State team started to prepare for this week’s game—a
tough one.
Saturday our tbam-**-and at last we can call them our team, for no
player is wearing a State football jersey just because a State football
scout made an offer of the most money—Saturday our team plays
Harvard;*
Since that autumn day eleven years ago when Harvard held State
to a 21-to-21 tie things-have changed. That dynasty, the deeds of which
still, provide subject matter for fraternity rushing and beery remin
iscing, has passed, leaving a well-filled trophy case . In the last
years not'orifyhas the State athletic system been given a new deal, but
even new cards are being used in a new game. The teams of the present
generation composed as they are of men whose curricula also contain
academic subjects, have not given the alumni an excuse-for any “have
this one on me” parties.
In the myopic eyes of the rest of the jvorld, State's football reputa
tion has suiiered. As a result, Harvard has us booked for a-warm-up
Although the Nittany Lions are not Southerners, they are going to
try .to please their distinguished host. Coach Higgins is going to use
some ten-second backs, who will make the hallowed ground nice and dry.
Then Bob has some powerful-linemen who will provide enough fric
tion to start the sparks flying. And of course the “Corner Coaches” can
be depended upon to supply the exact amount of oxygen . . .
Harvard scheduled State as a warm-up game. Here’s hoping (we
sound like an alumnus already) that Mister Casey and his chiilun arc
plenty warm Saturday afternoon—and you too—“ Corner Coaches.”

Waynesburg Upsets Lions,
7-t6-6, in Dads’ Day Game
“Rab” Currie Carries Ball 163 Yards on 10 Plays
To Lead Opponent’s Attack —Lohr
y Scores Single Touchdown
Dr GEORGE A.
"Waynesburg gets better aj> the
game goes on,’’ was one of the warn
ings from Joe Bedenk to Bob Higgins
and. his Nittany Lion gridders last
week, and the Yellow Jackets proved
Joe’s assertion quite conclusively
when they faced the Lions on New
Beaver field Saturday.
They stalled out poorly, but as the
game progressed they gathered more
and more power until the climax, with
just a minute, to play, they scored a
touchdown, a point after touchdown,
and won the game by a 7-to-G score.
It was almost a Penn State-“ Rab”
Currie game, rather than a Penn
State-Waynesburg affair, for Mister
“Rab” Currie passed and ran the ball
pretty much as he pleased from start
to finish, and his final fling, a forty
four and one-half yard run to place
the ball within a foot of the goal line,
was the master stroke to an afternoon
of brilliant work.
Secures Winning Point
Adam Donnelley, who relieved Rose
at quarterback for Waynesburg just
before Currie’s final run, carried the
ball over the goal line and then kicked
a placement goal for the extra point
that meant victory, but all the credit
for the- victory should go to Currie.
Including his return of kickoffs and
punts, the “Rab” carried the ball for
a grand total of 163 yards in ten
plays. He grabbed a Lion pass on his
own forty yard line and ran to the
State sixteen yard mark in the'second
quarter; he took 3, pass from Ross, his
teammate, for a thirty-five yard gain
in the third quarter; he recovered Bill
Lohr’s fumble on the State forty yard
line in the fourth quartet he returned
four Penn State punts for a total of
seventy-two yards; and topped off the
day with that touchdown strut as the
game neared its finish.
It would have been a tough game
for Waynesburg -to lose, just as it
was a heartbreaker for the Nittany
Lion eleven, for as far as actual play
went, it was a toss-up between the
two. State started out the stronger
and the Yellow Jackets weren’t beyond
their own forty-one yard line during I
the first quarter.'
Lohr Scores
The second and third quarters
brought a different story, however,
and the tables were reversed with
Waynesburg dominating the play and
Penn State' finding it extremely hard
to drive past the fifty-yard mark into,
the visitors* territory. Honors v^ere

about even in the fourth period.
A decision that enabled Waynes
burg to retain the ball after Bill Lohr
had intercepted a forward pass thrown
by Currie might well be called the
turning point in favor of the Wolfmen.
With the bail on the State.forty-five
yard line, Currie fired a pass that
skimmed the fingers of two Waynes
burg players and was finally inter-;
cepted oy Lohr. The officials ruled j
the pass incomplete and on ithe next
play Currie took a. lateral pass and
sped toward the goal lino.
The defeat was a costly one for the
Lions, for it cost them the services
of two regulars; “Shorty” Mikelonis
and Tom Slusser. Mikelonis injured
his knee on the first play of the game,
but continued to play until late in the
second quarter, aggravating the in
jury to such an extent that he will be
out of action for six or eight weeks.
Slusser suffered a sprained ankle that
will keep him' on the sidelines for
possibly a week.
Lohr marked up the touchdown
credited the Nittany Lions, but again
it was a teammate who played the
biggest part in the scoring drive. Leo
Skemp p„ut on a “Currie” act all of
his own, running some fifty-seven
yards from the State thirty-yard line
to Waynosburg’s thirteen-yard mark,
to give .the Lions their opportunity
to score.
Brewster, Slusser Star
Skcmp’s run was one of the pret
tiest plays of the game. Starting
from a fake spinner, Leo sped through
a perfect hole made by his interfer.
ence, down the west side of the.field,
shaking off all enemy tacklers but
Currie, who - finally stopped him just
thirteen-yards' short of a touchdown.
A new speedster stepped to the
front to take the injured Tommy Har

Harry Sigel. Sigel ’ looked good

slightly in the first quarter, he came

mage.
Defensively, State left much to be
desired, but Jesse Brewster and
Tommy Slusser, the latter until he
was injured in ( the second quarter,
stood out like a banner in the breeze.
Brewster recovered the opening kick
off, a short one that travelled less
than twenty yards, to give the Lions
the ball at the start, and later in the
game pounced on the ball after Currie
had fumbled, to stop a Waynesburg
scoring threat.

Soccermen Hold Leopards
Scoreless in Opening Tilt
Musser, Daykin, Knecht Register Goals as
Booters Down Lafayette, 4-to-0
By WILLIAM
Lion soccermen scored an easy 4-to
-0 win over Lafayette in their open
ing match on New Beaver field Sat
urday afternoon. &
In spite of a slight weakness in the
center, the Penn State team neverthe
less kept the Maroon at a safe dis
tance from the goal throughout the
game. Both teams show.cd a tendency
to too much altitude in their attempts
to kick goals.
Captain A 1 Daykin and Chick Mus
ser scored the first points for the
Lions in the opening quarter, Daykin’s
goal being obtained on a penally. Ed
die Knecht, substituting for Fletcher
at center forward, kicked a goal in
the second period. Musser again came
to the fore in the third quarter to add
the final point.
Leopards Lack Coach
In the offense, Musser and Finzcl
played a vigorous game, while Daykin
and Hartzler in the backfield took the
lead in turning back the visitors’ at
tempts to score. Goalkeeper Frank
