Thursday, September 21, 1933 Between the Lions . with The Sports Editor P.enn State!s .star in the' football . firmament is about to shine a bit brighter if the forecast in• the pres ent issue of "Football" magazine is any indication. The editors of that periodical have this to say about the present array of .I , littany Lions: "Im proved and willing to work hard, but the end of the comeback road still lies in the far distance." Certainly a, squad of grid players never .wpriteri H and trained harder to reach the pin nacle of perfection than that pack toiling under Coach _Hob ,Higgins every day. We believe , that Penn State has traveled.further along the comeback road than the aforemen tioned editors have stated. With the addition of such formidable opponents as Columbia and Penn to ourscheduln this year recognition has at last come that the Higgins-coached machine has surmounted the roughest. part of the highway and is now entering upon•the smoothest stretch in four years. An intimation makes us feel, this season, that football here is forgetting the depression and that after steering clear of a few more obstacles will be far along towards the end of the comeback road, not so many years distance. . . Glen Killinger, former all-Amer ican quarterback and baseball coach here, and now head football goaeh•at Moravian College is bent on turning out one of the best grid teams at.the! Bethlehem institution in many years: In setting forth his training rules to his new charges the other aftarnoon Killinger declared that, "Only one man on this football team can smoke and that will be me." "Furthermore," he continued, find any man breaking just ,one of' these training rules, he is through for the rest of the, season, no, mutter who he is:" . Although Moravian:faces one of toughest football-jsehedules• in 'yeacif, Killinger, after workingnnly two daY4 with the squad of thirty-five men, is decidedly optimistic over proipecii for. the season.

Among training innovations, Coach Werner has requested that all men be on the field by 4::30 o'clock every practice afternoon to engage in a mass run, rather than continue the old system of having men take their, workouts at different periods during the late afternoon. Newcomers Show Promise With an eye to future teams for track and cross-country, Werner has again issued calls for additional track candidates. Ile stresses the fact that former experience is not necessary, only the desire to.lezirn and train is demanded of anyone who wishes to Marty McAndrews Scouts Lion Team Martin S. (Marty) McAndrews '3O, Lion light-heavyweight inter collegiate boxing champion and football center, scouted his former team-mates for Lebanon Valley at the first practice' game on New Beaver field Saturday afternoon.

Prelimi nary training in the fundamentals of ' blocking, pulling out of line, and charging are about completed. The first-year squad got its first taste of scrimmage last night in a short work-out. A few plays, similar to those of the varsity, have been given to the plebes by Coach Nelson S. Welke. Line candidates this year are heav ier than those of the last two years, while the backfield posts will be filled by men with more weight than com mon.

This will be the first time that the freshmen teams of the two institutions will meet in competition. Tentative plans for a handicap. track meet to be held during the fall have already been laid, while the in terfraternity cross-country run - will be held later in the season.

Tobaccos grown in this country are "seasoned" with tobaccos from Turkey and Greece THE ANSWER IS VERY• SIMPLE: 033ACCOS to taste right in a 1 cigarette need to be .flavored or seasoned just the same as you might season a steak pr a pudding. No tobaccos have ever been found that equal the spicy aromatic tobac cos of Turkey and Greece for this purpose. That's vvhy we send 4000 miles for aromatic tobaccos from Sam soun and Sinyrno,N.anthi and Cavallo. When blended and cross-blended in just the right amounts with Chest erfield's mild ripe Domestic tobac cos, the result is a rich flavor and a fine fragrance. Chesterfields are seasoned right.:— they taste right.
