years is favored by the School heads.
“I have always believed that a
technical curriculum could contain
much less technical work than is re
quired and much more work of a
general nature,” says Dean Stoddart. i
“There could be more concentration
on absolute fundamentals, with the
result that a good deal of the detail

be cut-out.”
While admitting that “both arc do.

that “the student cannot obtain in

Syracuse averaging 188-pounds to the

However, past performances and
weight advantages are tossed to the
wind in_a Perm State T Syracuse foot
ball game. The underdog has insisted
on coming to the front in every Lion-
Orange game in the past, and tomor
row should be no exception'. |
; The Lions aren't over-confident—
they haven’t the right to be, but they
do regard tomorrow’s fracas as a
golden opportunity to kick the old dope
bucket far and wide. A fighting, and
will-to-win spirit that hasn’t been
seen on New Beaver Field in some
time has come to the front in the past
two weeks, and Mr. Tom Lombardi
and company can expect a very, very
busy-afternoon up there tomorrow.
Rosenberg To Start
With his squad badly battered as a
result of the Harvard game, Coach
“Bob” Higgins abandoned .any idea
of scrimmage practice this week, and
contented himself with light signal
practice and a study of the Syracuse
formations as a'preparation for .the
Orange. Tho heavy rain early in the
week was another factor outlawing
scrimmage, for the gridders had dif
ficulty in ’even running signals over
the muddy, soggy practice fields.

Large Orange Contingent
To Accompany Team Here
Syracuse Will Bring Squad of 40 Men, Band
For Nittany Contest Tomorrow
By EDWARD M; BARRY
Associate Editor, Syracuse “Daily Orange’
.-Syracuse] University, .football interests will center, at State College to
morrow when Coach Hanson’s O"rmig<rwarriors' go'into’action. against . their
old rivals Penn State. Forty players accompanied by the coaching staff,
university band and a large number of students will make the pilgrimage
into Pennsylvania.
Unfortunately, the Syracuse team has had to depend almost entirely on
sophomore material. With the except
tion of Captain Lombardi at tackle,
Tindall at guard and Moran and Fish
el in the backfield the varsity team
is made up of members of the crack
Frosh team of last year
At the very outset Coach Hanson
went about developing a strong pass
ing team and within a relatively short
time was able to cope with the best
of them in the passing game. A se
vcrs blow wns given to the aerial at
tack plans by the injury of Lou Stark,
a polished student in the art of throw
ing the pigskin. Stark is now in good
condition and will see action in- the
game tomorrow.
Veterans Ready
Captain Lombardi, one of the out
standing athletes on the hill has not
been playing his old form at tackle
and Steen a sophomore understudy
seams like a likely starter in the
veteran’s place. Joe Moran, that
hard hitting little back, whom the
Penn Staters will recall did the sen.
sational boxing against, the blue
team, is playing his last year of foot-,
ball with Syracuse and incidentally
still has that old drive which may
give Coach Bob Higgins much to
worry about.
Dick Fishel, the senior spinner ar
tist, has been having some competi
tion 'from the sophomores but Dick
has found his pace-and will be at or.e
>f the halfback posts when the whis
tle sounds. The quarterback assign
ment has seen frequent changes.
Fishel, Cody and Tisdale have tried
signal calling,. but Nick DiNunzio
will be Vic Hanson’s starting choice
tomorrow.
Line Heavy
Fortunutely, the revamped Orange
line is heavy nnd fairly fast. Steen
and Hordinis, two sophomore tackles,
have flashed in rfceent scrimmages
and may get the call over previous
Syracuse .tackles.
Through injuries and close com
petition, the guard assignments have
been an open book. To date Fran
Kennedy and Tindall, veterans of last
season, have proven most reliable al
though Stork, Singer, Gramlich and
Machosky have seen plenty of action.

’Beethoven's Eroiea symphony and
Franck's symphony in D minor will
complete the program of the third
