WRIGHT .35 Out-Gain, Out-Pass Lehigh Amassing a total of 244 yards to nine for Lehigh on passes and ten completsd out of an even dozen tries, the Lions' accurate aerial attack was responsible, either directly or indi rectly, for all five touchdowns in the game that marked the resumption of athletic relations in football with the Brown and White, • On so-d i alled "straight football" tac tics, the Blue and White also demon- Istrated clear superiority, gaining 213 yards through scrimmage to 73 for Lehigh. The Lions lost only five' yards from scrimmage, while the vis itors were hurled back for a total of fifty-eight yards. Slusser Scores Twice Captain Slusser scintillated both on the defense and offense. Not a Le high gain was made around his end and he spent a good part of the after noon in the Engineer backfield. The Lion captain would have scored twice in the second period, but he was forced to go beybnd the borders of the end zone to catch one of o',Hora's tosses. Gains.by-Harry..Sigel-alid , '`Barrel" Itforriatin,'Lion halfbacks, brought the ball from the Lehigh 45-yard line'o tho 30 on a 'sustained drive. Quarter back "Red" O'Hora trotted back to the 35-yard line and nonchalantly passed to Slusser• over the goal line—a .37- yard' effort. Fullback Bill Cooper converted the extra point. Thwarted on the goal line early in the second quarter after a pass—Sigel to Orlando—and line smashes by Mor rison had advanced the ball from mid field, the Lions again capitalized on the threat despite a 15-yard penalty. On a fourth down, O'Hont passed 25 yards to Slusser over the goal line. Cooper again kicked the extra point. Morrison Scores Touchdown The third Nittany touchdown and the second of the quarter was not long in coming. Reedy, Lehigh halfback, returned the kick-off to the 35-yard line, and an incomplete pass preserved the status quo. Finding that the Lion line was impregnable ; Quarterback Short elected to try the air, but he fumbled Reedy's' pass and the alert Nittany field general recovered and Cooper raced nineteen yards down the side-lines to the 15-yard stripe. Sigel and Morrison did the rest on short consistent gains with the latter scor ing. Cooper's kick went,awry. The third quarter was barren of scoring,' with play centering around mid-field. Near the end of the per iod, Lehigh's offensive came to life and reeled off three first downs in succession against eleven Lion sub stitutes. Fullback "Whitey" Bennett and Left Halfback Ock carried the ball.' Knapp, Maurer Tally "Shorty" Mikelonis got off_ the longest punt of the game and it play ed an important part in the Lions' fourth touchdown, going out of bounds on the 16-yard line after a 55-yard boot. Ock's pass hit Weill, an in eligible receiver, and the Blue and White were consequently awarded the ball. A 25-yard penalty moved the Lions back to the 32-yard line, but it was not enough to prevent a score: "Fritz" -Andrews, substituting for Morrison; tossed an accurate forward into "Lefty" Knapp's arms and the Nittany halfback went the remaining six yards unmolested. His kick was good. BUt the Lions weren't - ready to call it a day. 'A pass ; Knapp to Maurer, from the 20-yard line brought the ball to the 3-yard line. On the next play, Matirer went across with the final tally of the game.

Citizens Foresee• Crisis— If the Colldge is forced to &OP ap proximately 1,000 students . berause . of curtailed' appropriations, many fra ternity add boarding houses in the borough will suffer as a result of the reduced numbers; one administration official has explained. Such proce dure would possbily force some fra ternities into •bankruptcy, it was added. • Aside from the loss. of men from fraternity and boarding houses, the local merchants will lose an unesti mated volume of business, ctiizens be lieve. As the borough of State Col lege' is entirely dependent upon stu dent and College expenditures for sub sistence, the sudden loss of one-quar ter of their student market would cause a serious financial crisis.
