Thursday, Septerr(ber 14, 7.933 Between the Lions with The Sports Editor Now is the time for all good sports fans to come to the realization that a new year and possibly a "New Deal" is awaiting Penn State's twelve varsity sport teams. NRA has' one meaning for everyone, but without much doubt every loyal Penn Slater is hoping that it can be paraphrased into "Nittany Lion Roals Again" dur ing the coming sports seasons. There's a good chance that it may. Nearly every team representing - the Nittany Lion will be fortified with experienced veterans, and whether you realized it or not, last year's fresh man class produced some very, very promising athletes. Add to" those two "breaks," - the fact that the spirit of tho current crop of Lion athletes is •at the highest peak in the history of the present - student - body, and you have the foundation jot successful teams. Bob Biggins.' varsity football squad quite naturally draws the major : ac traction at the present time. It's . too early to form any judgment of the probable strength of the 1933 Lion gridders, but a survey of the return ing veterans and sophomore newcom ers reveals that there's plenty of ground for optiinism in re the. sea son's prospects. While the loss .of Zawacki is a serious blow, the pros pect of a team which includes Vet erans of one or more season's cam paigns at the guard and tackle posts, at least one end, and experienced backs is brighter than that of either of the 1932 or 1931 seasons. • ' Much is expected of sophomore can didates, graduated from'Nelslke's bett2r-than-usual freshman team of last year, and a successful season may depend upon their ability to fit into the vacancies left by graduation last June. It's no easy schedule that the Lions face this year, and they'll enter a good many of their games ill favored by the dopesters, but we're of the opinion that.someone is in for a surprise—and we don't expert to be in the surprised class. . -.From the summer sport trails.... .

Despite the presence of this promis ing array of tested talent, Coach Hig gins is not putting very ,must-stress on a first team. In practice sessions thus far, every man on the squad has worked out with a "first team" com bination. • While no definite move has been made; which would indicate any recog nizable first-string selections, the Lion mentor generally gives his per sonal attention to one certain eleven as they work out in a brisk signal drill near the end of the practice. Webber worked out at center, with Bedoski and Kreizman flanking hint at the guard positions, Cole and Woolbert, regular tackles last season, were back in their niche, while Cap .Slusser worked out at left end, and Rosenberg and 'McKee alternated on the right wing. • , Maurer, freshman quarterback last season, and his tehm-mate Knapp were in the backfield. Morrison held down a halfback berth ; while Leo Skemp was stationed at full for the Squad Morale Rises But the keynote of the 1933 Lion squad does not concern any individual player. It's the obvious return of the old will-to-win spirit that has almost sunk to a legendary state during the recent toothless stage of the Nittany Lion. _ . "If all started• in that Syracuse game last year," Higgins explained, referring to the 12-to-6 victory that the Oiange eked out on New Beaver field when the game stopped with a snarling Lion thwarted on the thres hold of a tying, or possibly, deciding score. "That one game 'was the be ginning of a new confidence among the players," he said. It doesn't require an expert ob server to see evidences • of the new spirit.. Dogged determinedness per vades scrimmages and even signal drills click with bursts of speed and zest. The tenor of the work-outs pre sage a new Lion football era. When Jesse Brewster, Marty Hesch, Bill Lohr, and Captain "Spike" Col lins, were 'graduated last Tune; the Lion gridmen lost five of the main stays of the 1932 team, but if the squad keeps, in its present mental state the handicap will be less hard .to bridge. ::,"You_/ - Can .-- Get.
