Between the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
- iWhat with Thanksgiving, just around the corner and ' State-Pitt
Turkey Day encounters a very dim memory nowadays, only captaincy
- and managerial elections remain before King Foottall takes his local
bow and retires to the sidelines until Spring Practice in April.
Gone are the hopes, jo"ys and disappointments of 1932; it is to next
year our gaze .turns.. And, if you’ll pardon us for being enthusiastic
at such an early date, we’re firmly convinced’ that it should be the best
season for the Lions since 1929; •'
Getting.down to facts and statistics, if this backfield material isn’t
just cause for optimism as far. as offensive goes, we’ll transfer to Buck
nell. Bob can field an all-Junior backfield of Morrison, Sigel, Mike
lonis,. and Skemp which hag enough potential strength to run the Power
plant' And that doesn’t, include such outstanding backfield men as
speedy Tommy Harper and lihe-plunging Harry Wantshouse.
The line loses even less,.than the. backfield. That peerless end,
Tommy SluSser, will be back to mow them down, and Bucky McKee and
Rosy Rosenberg will be present to meet the competition of that splendid
trio .of freshman wingmen for. the other berth. Cole, Woolbert, and
Berry sound like a complete solution to tackle problems,-but Park,
Flood, and Rose make things look even a little better. Kreizman and
Bedoski,'this year’s guards, and every one of the present centers com
plete the rose-colored line outlook.
Of course, we know that lots of water will flow under the bridge
before next October seventh, and ii’s possible some of these men may be
under a different bridge. But add to' the prospects we’ve named some
of those great freshmen Nels Walke has developed and you too will be
ready to click your heels together and yell “Yippee.”
If the dearth of gridiron victories these last few years was not
enough to prove the martyrdom Penn State has willingly taken on its
shoulders, in the crusade for athletic purity, the fact that football showed
a deficit last year for the.first time since the game attracted public
fancy should 'be conclusive. -While gate receipts at all colleges have been
lowered by the depression, the tremendous falling off in the Lion crowds
can be traced definitely to the fact that John Public, whether he lives in
New York, Philadelphia,' or Central Pennsylvania, is not interested in
losing football teams. Neither, it appears, is he interested in seeing
a big-college eleven chalk up its ti'iumphs .over various and sundry small
college teams. Since the receipts of football drastically affect the future
of every minor sport as well as its own perpetuation, we hope that
evident improvement in the calibre of -Lion elevens over those of recent
years will shortly mean a return to the crowds of the past.
Aside from arousing a,reminiscent sigh in the hearts of many Lion
followers for the “good old days,” the football reel a local theatre ex
hibited last week aroused what seems to us like a very healthy desire for
the return of the Nittany Lion by many students. Certainly, a resump
tion of the-impersonation of‘the famous mountain feline by some cheer
leading aspirant would make the Lions a more colorful lot before the
crowds Syracuse, and Penn k next year.

Year’s Campaign Statistics.
By GEORGE
Twenty-eight players who saw ac
tion at some time during the season
returning—only eleven 'players to be
lost when the February and June
graduation exercises roll around.
Two'big reasons for fewer head
aches for Coach Bob Higgins as he
surveys prospects for the’ 1933 foot
ball .season. Cbuplc those reasons
with a 1933 schedule that conforms
with the non-subsidization policy of
the College to’ a better degree than
any since 1927, when the-policy -was
instituted,-and you can make a safe
bet that Bob won’t be losing quite as
much sleep as he must have in his
three years as head coach.
To Lose 4 Regulars
Captain “Spike” Collins, Bill Lohr,
Jesse Brewster, and Marty Hesch are
the only regulars from the 1932 eleven
who will be missing next fall, along
with Fred Kane and Johnny Grim
shaw, regulars in 1931 who were
handicapped by injuries this season,
•“Doc” Conn, another 1931 letter-win
ner, Carl Wille, Johnny- McAndrews,
Charlie Reiter, and Milo Torrance. •
Players who are expected to return
for the 1933 season include Harper,
Morrison, Sigel, Skemp, Wantshouse,
Mikelonis, Boring and White, backs;
Zawacki, Anderson aiid Rich, centers;
Kreizman, Bedoski, Longcnccker,
Woolridge, and Allen, guards; Cole,
Woolbert, Berry, Park, Flood, and
Rose, tackles; and Slusscr, McKee,
Rosenberg, Rodham, and Heist, ends.
A sophomore group from the best
freshman team in four years will sup
plement this list of veterans.
Football equipment is being shelved
for its rest period oyer the winter
mor.thsr-only the awarding of letters
and election of captain and managers
remain on the program for the 1932
grid season.

Seventh Season
Without Defeat
When Lion cross country runners
completed their seventh straight un
defeated season this'year, they were
continuing their matter of fact atti
tude of just another season without a
loss.
But graduation will take a toll of
five lettermen. Captain Charlie King,
Curt Grcnninger, Clint Van Cise, Bill
Space, and Johnnie Napoleon are the
seniors who will be lost, while Kenny
England and Bill Rishel, juniors, and
George Harvey, sophomore, will be left
to form the nucleus of the 1933 squad.
Two trips, one to Pittsburgh and
the other to New York City where the
Nittany harriers captured fifth place
in the IC-4A meet, comprised a total
of 840 miles traveled by the Blue and
Whito team. Lion runners tallied a
low score of 44 points against 66
points for Pittsburgh and Syracuse in
two meets.

Against Cadets
By B. H. KOSENZWEIG '34
Dampened in body but not in spirit
the Lion soccermen nlowed through a
continuous downpour of rain to com
pletely outplay a mud-logged Army
mule in the last game of the season
by tho score of 2-to-l, on New Beaver
Field Saturday.
With tho ball always threatening to
enter the Cadet goal, Old Jupe Pluvius
proved himself a real friend of the
Army by causing frequent goal kicks i
to fly out of bounds.
Finsel, Evans Score
Captain Daykin, Evans, and Young,
senior halfback trio, playing together
for the last time continually turned
back the Cadet offense to allow the
forward lino to present one of its
strongest attacks of the season. Ed
die Finscl kicked the first goal in the
second quarter, while Evans made a
neat billiard shot for the second tally

The strength of the Nitlany' attack
came front the left side of the forward
line with Chick Musser and Shorty
Edwards contributing to the neurotic
condition of goalie Horstnmn. Army
made its unexpected goal in the last
period from the toe of Boise. •
With this victory, the Lion hooters
closed the 1932 season with three wins
| and three defeats for their poorest ree-
I ord in years. Lafayette, Haverfortl
and Army fell before the onslaught
of the Nittanymen, while Harvard,
Springfield, and Syracuse succeeded
in turriing back the hooters.
