Tuesday, October 25, 1932 Between the Lions The Sports Editor Comment on a game such as the Lion-Orange tilt >vas Saturday seems ■unnecessary. Without a doubt, it ■will remain in the memories of those who saw it as a hard-fought, well-played contest in which both skill, courage, and, to a great extent, the "breaks”- played a major role. If the Lions seemed in the first quarter to falter and belie the optimistic hopes that had been placed in them the past week by a loyal student body, they more ,than'made up for this late start by their determined and at times brilliant performance throughout the second half. Theirs was' truly' a display of game courage, outweighed and trailing by a two- touchdown disadvantage, coming back to fall only six inches short of tying the score or gaining a possible one point victory. Criticism there was. Some have been at a loss to account for the disappearance of the-effective forward-passing attack the Lions dis- played at Harvard. Others deplored the occasional examples of aimless tackling and weak interference. Some even blamed the mishaps of. the first quarter on the luck of scrimmage practice during the week. But, ar. a whole, both students and alumni alike were satisfied that they had witnessed an evenly-fought football game which, although it didn’t result in .the eagerly anticipated Lion victory, did prove again to,the doubting fhat the lightweight Lions make it a fight every inch of the way. Cer- tainly, there was none of the black pessimism and tail-bgtween-the-legs attitude that characterized the feelings of Alumni following the Pitt and Colgate routs the last two years. 1 - Most significant, wc believe,.is the restoration of confidence the near victory is sure to mean. .The Lion pack has found the scent of victory. This Saturday, unfortunately, its appetite must probably go un satisfied. But, it may yet lick its chops over the Sewanec Tiger and the Temple Owl! . If you attended Friday, night’s mass meeting, you were probably amazed, as wc were, at the genuine spirit displayed by the capacity audience. Even the lack of organization which characterized the rally failed to. deaden the pep of the participants; the long and appar ent lack of knowledge of what-came next by those in charge quenched but did not outen the fire of enthusiasm. /That there should have been such a lack of organization for so im portant a rally is neither a reflection on the capabilities.of Bill Hart- man and his assistants, nor a criticism cf the work of Walt Moser, A. A; president. The fault lies mainly in the loose connections existent, or rather, non-existent between the association and the cheering squad. Placing cheerleading and the conducting of lollies under the co-ordinating influence of a body such as Student Union might relieve the situation. Something, at any rate, should be done before the splendid spirit that was evident Friday night is killed by pdorly organized mass meetings and deadening "rallies.” • • - Thursday night, incidentally, Bill is planning a short and snappy Varsity Hall send-off for the team before it leaves for Colgate. The rally presents another fine opportunity for the display of spirit that was evident Friday night. Oar Opponents Colgate, 14—N. Y.

Call it a “moral victory” if you like, for it was a de feat that leaves no sting in the minds of the team's followers. Tommy Harper led the Lion ball carriers for the day with a total of fifty-three yards gained from scrim mage, although Bill Lohr was the real leader with his return of punts count ed in the figures. Bill gained some forty yards from scrimmage and i*c. turned five punts for a total of ninety two yards. Syracuse showed the crowd its widely-heralded Lou Stark, sophomore fullback star, and Lou performed up to expectations, lie threw all of the passes, did all of the kicking and car ried the ball for a total gain of eighty-seven yards in the four quar ters. Dick Fishel spun his way for a total gain of eighty-two yards against the Lion defense. Conn Relievos Lolir “Doc” Conn did some mighty nice relief work for Lohr at quarterback while Merrill Morrison and Jim Bor ing, a pair of sophomore backs, broke loose in that fourth quarter drive to share in the ball-carrying honors. Harry Wantshouse, injured in the Harvard game, was pressed into ser vice at fullback, but he lacked the power that is usually his on line buck ing. Making his first appearance of the season, Tony Bedoski played over three quarters of the game at a guard post, while Tommy Slusser shook off YYhat on earth are ym up to now ? ” . 1 f Wf\ , s * THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Gridmen Lose to Syracuse in Alumni Day Til Three Reasons for That Powerful Colgate Line Colgate will present these three linemen when the Red Raiders play host to Coach “Bob" Higgins’ eleven at Hamilton. All three are guards, Captain Bob Smith and Hill holding down reg ular positions, while Blum is rated as certain to see action Saturday.' Captain Smith is particularly effective in leading the attack, fulfilling the requirements for the guard position under Coach “Andy” Kerr’s system to perfection. Hill, ia veteran from Lebanon, Pa., was injured in the New York University game Saturday hut is expected to face the Liqps this week. Blum, a 'junior this year, captained tho Maroon freshman team two years ago. his injuries to play almost as long at end. Rosenberg and; Grimshaw, an other pair of - casualties since the start of the season, both saw action for a short time at-end. Syracuse called on its captain, Tom Lombardi, who was ordered to rest for two weeks Friday, to stop the Lion offense in the fourth quarter.
