Friday, December 16, 1932 Between the Lions with | •; The Sports Editor hnWith Christmas vacation almost iison us, the period of athletic dol-; drums is just about over, and one can imagine the Nittany Lion arising, stretching himself and preparing* for aH&ther forage into the jungle of athletic competition for his prey— victory. •iiißasketball season will open just ■fytt 1 days after we return, and wrest :> * fing and boxing, in' that order, will • rqpke their presence felt shortly after the beginning of the second semester. ... Prospects in all three sports, and 'in the court pastime, are gp.9(l, and the winter season should be airgreat deal more productive of vic tory than was the fall period just past. + + + one can imagine Leo Houck on life bended knees pleading for special dispensation from Sanfa Claus, • the thought of Charlie Speidel and Spike hanging up their little red stockings shouldn’t be so fantastic. It isn’t so hard, either, to imagine fobnvhat the three winter sports men tors would be asking. Leo, probably, wbtold plead for just one more heavy weight like Steve Hamas, Charlie’s stocking would be happily filled if it contained another Roy Maize, and as for Spike Leslie—Well, all the white bfcavded gentleman would have to do is'' show Spike a picture of a good center and Mr. Leslie would take to turning handsprings. + + + Quietly, yet amazingly fast,, the non-subsidization movement is mak ing. its progress felt in intercollegiate football. We have naturally been watching the papers for all converts to the cause, but the reiteration of Ifj.e announcement for which the BucknclUan is authority, that Buck nell abolished athletic scholarships last spring comes to us as a complete surprise. .Though the knowledge comes late,,it fe none v the. Jess pleas ant. . The Bucknell Bison and the Nit- tahy Lion are natural opponents. Thdir presence, along with \illdnova, and Washington and Jefferson, on fu ture Lion grid schedules, is a not un- i •likely possibility. + + + . Incidentally,• we’ve been meaning to mention a rather noticeable incon sistency in the material the Temple press bureau sends out in the name of news. When the Lions were sched uled to meet Temple at the Owl sta dium, they were played up repeatedly as a fighting band who were certain to give the Cherry and White a battle. Now, since the Lions, as. a Penn op-j ponent, are likely to offer Temple some box-office opposition, the state ment, is made that Washington and Jefferson, who replace the Lions on the Owls’ 1933 schedule, should offer a great deal more opposition than the tamed Nittany Lions (And this in the face of that 13-to-12 thrill er just a few short weeks ago). Oh, well .... + +‘ + rrOhester Smith, in one of his series of articles in the Pittsburgh Proas dealing with Rose Bowl games of the past, ndturally has discussed the' 1923 game which saw-the Lions matched against Southern. California. Besides being illuminating as to the actual story of-the game, the article brings, out a little-known point which* shows some of the cunning, strategy that gained for “Bez” the title of the “Ole’ Pox’’ in his coaching days. Realizing that the hot sun of sunny California was a far cry from the cool mountain lair- of the Nittany Lion, “Bez” suc ceeded in delaying, the game more than an hour, while the officials raved, tore their hair, and virtually promised the gentleman from Penn sylvania half of Los Angeles'if he’d bring his team out on the field-. + + + This and That Although the fact that A 1 McCoy, 'former Lion star, has been named football coach at Northeastern Uni versity is probably old news to most of you, we’ll bet you didn't know that he named on the All-American freshman team in 1921 .... —S. H. B. CAGERS PREPARE LIONS WILL RESUME WORK DECEMBER 27 Wittum Sprains Ankle During Practice Session By W. M. STECOIIEIEIt *34 Forced to step-up .their practices to an almost breakneck speed because of the proximity to the opening of the ' season coupled with the interruption of Christmas vacation, the Nittany Lion passers are already beginning to think of the Susquehanna quintet which will oppose them in Recreation hall on January 4. To leave no chances for loop-holes or slip-ups in his practice routine, Coach Leslie is bringing twelve of his brightest court luminaries back to College on Tuesday, December 27. This will mean three full days of prac tice before the pre-season game with Lock Haven State Teachers College. Tho Lock Haven game, at the Teach ers College on December 30, should decide'pretrty definitely what the Lion lineup will look like .against Susque hanna. Wittum Injured 'Fortunate, so far, in avoiding in juries, the Lion courtmen now seem : to be in for their full share. Wittum, a likely candidate for the .weak center; position, succeeded in spraining his ankle on the first play of scrimmage Thursday night, thus eliminating him self from practice for at least a week. Henning assumed Wittum's duties while Moore was moved up a notch into the second string berth. 'Coached by Bill Ullery ’22, former! Nittany athlete, Susquehanna will pre-| sent an inexperienced but strong line up. Three of the five that will prob ably start are first-year students. Jack Roach, lanky freshman from Johnstown, and Bob Sassaman, for mer Williamsport High and Peddie Prep athlete who will assume guard duty, are two of the freshmen who aro practically assured of varsity roles. _• • Undefeated Against Susquehanna In the eleven-game series which the Lion court teams have waged with Susquehanna on intermittent years, Nittany cage teams have been unde-, l'eated, amassing 527 points to their opponents 140. The 1919 score of 86- to-12 has a .particular appeal for the Penn Staters; and then, although har ping on. the of thd j>pst, isn’t completely convincing," counts of 58- to-13 in 1924 and .75-to-18 in 1926 are encouraging. In the last contest with a Susquehanna five, which was played in. 1927, the Lions took.the decision by a 50-to-15 tally.

The new rules passed by the associ ation Include the reduction of teams from twelve to ten men, a shortening of the playing area, adoption of quar ter periods instead of halves, and, among other minor changes, permis sion to wear face masks. These are the most radical changes made with the game in recent years. “The expense attached to transport ing twelve men and a number of sub stitutes, along with the cost of fur nishing . equipment for that number, made a cut imperative,” Loebs said. “This, in itself, will help materially 24 TEAMS REMAIN IN I.M.
