Tuesday, November 8,1932 Between the Lions with The Sports Editor The assertion that a team can look worse in victory than in defeat was never proved more conclusively than on Saturday when the Lions, although they were successful in chalking up a victory over the well-in tentioned but woefully weak Sewanee eleven, exhibited their poorest form of the season.' It is fortunate that their letdown came against a team of Sewanee’s calibre, for otherwise, victory, or even a' good showing, could not have been attained. * It is also fortunate that Sewanee’s quar terback did not elect to pass .more often, for the Lions' defense against aerial warfare seemed to crumble entirely; almost the only passes that tSewanee men missed were'due to errors of direction ratherthan Lion . intervention. The touchdown punch that was apparent in earlier games was, for the. most part, lacking. In short, we feel the result of the game revealed no real strength on our part—rather, even less strength on the .. part of our Houseparty opponents. ' ..+.+ + + + + Because the showing of the team, as a whole, was disappointing does not mean that brilliant individual performances were entirely lacking. The work of Mel Morrison, Harry Sigel, and Tomnjy Harper on the of fense was almost spectacular, while those two hard-fighting ends, Slusser and Brewster, took care of the defensive end of the thing very competent ly, and Tommy also was placed in the prominent position of being theonly Stater to catch a forward pass. Captain Collins’ catch of a pass, this . time thrown by a Purple back, and his beautiful run down the field is also deserving of one of the few bouquets available for distribution. ’'>++ +' + + 1 Although the play of the Lions Saturday was lethargic, we hold high hopes for their victory chances against Temple Saturday. We cannot help but feel that the deterioration of the team against Sewanee was tem porary, whereas the retrogression of the Owls, which struck,a new low when a badly battered bunch of Haskell Indians tied them 14-to-14 Friday night, is very possibly the outcome of a deadening process which strikes aggregations of Temple's type, nullifying any semblance of spirit and fight the team may have displayed early in the season. Temple is in for a very difficult Saturday afternoon (their first daylight game, this season, incidentally) if the Lions- recover and consistently display the form they flashed against Harvard and Syracuse. The Lions will be in for a glorious Saturday night if they end their season in a blaze of glory /by toppling one of the few remaining undefeated elevens. It is characteristic of Houseparty contests that cheering-and spirit should vanish when distracting H. P. Q.’s are present, or was -the very apparent lack of enthusiasm Saturday due to the dullness of the game and the unimportance of the opponent? That State rooting suffers at Houseparty games four years of observation has taught us, but we feel that the other reasons we mentioned were major causes for the crowd’s lethargy. -We. shall have quite a hit to say about schedules at a later date, but we feel that Sewanee,'small and comparatively unknown in the football -firmament, was not the best choice of a Pennsylvania Day op ponent. We’ll grant that Houseparty time is no time to play a strong, traditional opponent, but there-are many schools with whom keen, evenly matched rivalries might be set up that would appeal .more natural in terests of the student body, as a whole.

SYRACUSE DOWNS LION BOOTERS, 2-1 Orange Victory Saturday Marks First Nittany Loss to New York Team By BERNARD H. ROSENZWEIG ’34 There’s a time for breaking every record and Syracuse chose Saturda; l'or administering the first defeat ever suffered by a Penn State soccer team at the hands of a New York State eleven, conquering the Nittany Lions here by the score of 2-to-l. Opening up with a powerful attack Coach Bill Jeffrey’s Lions scored the first goal early in the initial quarter after a swift passing exchange, Cas terline making the kick into the net. The rest of the first half was marked by persistent though unsuccessful drives at the Orange goal by the Nit tany forward wall. At the .start of the second half the contest settled into aft even struggle, with Syracuse led by the all-American center forward, Johnny McEwan, re peatedly running the ball through the Nittany defensive wall. Holly, sub stituting at center halfback, deflected r. swift pass from Signoretti, sending it out of the Lion goalie’s reach for the first Orange tally. McEwan Scores A superbly executed corner kick by McEwan was too swift for the strain ing Lion goalie and with about five minutes to play Syracuse took the lead. The Orange played a purely defensive game for the remainder of the contest. Repeatedly the Nittany hooters ad vanced the .ball into the shadow of tho Syracuse goal with Captain A] Daykir. moving up from center half back to form the key of the attack. Eluding the Orange halfback wall Daykin twice passed to Edwards in scoring position, cnly to have the ball blocked by the much-pressed Syracus an. Weltman, at goal. To the very end of the game, the veteran Nittany halfback combination, Daykin and Evans, kept continually feeding the ball to the Lion forward ■ T* 1 Al.
