Between
the Lions
with
The Sports Editor
The Johns Hopkins game, besides
being the easiest of the year, for the
Nittany Lions, accomplished three
things. that will aid the Blue and
White team in the future. With the
short stay of the regulars in the con
test any injuries were prevented, in
suring full strength for the Penn
game 'this Saturday. It provided a
chance for the third and fourth string
ere to add to their grid experience,
and uncovered one Jim Boring, who
I showed'his ability at running the ball•
in his first real chance of the year.
His catch of the punt near hiS own
goal line, his reversal of the field, and
his subsequent,run for the length of
the field made it the outstanding play
of the year on New BeaVer field. But
he was taking his chances in even
catching that kick so near the goal
line. A slip and the ball might have
gone over the goal with 'a Johns Hop
"tins player falling on it for a touch
down. But Boring had enough con
fidence in himself to return the ball
to at least the twenty-yard line, - and
' with a chance of getting further down,l,
the field, hesitated not a bit in catch-
ing the pigskin.
The whole course of the game was
:..marked by the towering poWer of Cap
; tain Tommy Slusser and his eleven
' over the. Baltimore team. Especially
in the open field were the Nittany
'Lions effective, with Merril Morrisim
• and Lefty Knapp carrying the ball
past the midfield mark on kick-offs,
only to be'broughe down by; the last
Bluejay. defense man. Harry Sigel
exhibited his. usual good prowess;
while the field generaling, of .Shorty
Mikelonix insured him of the starting
voutirt&back post in the Penn game.

' \\hen the Lions meet Lehigh at
Bethlehem next fall they won't have
such an easy time with the Engineers
as they did this' year, if the signing
of Frank Carideo, •two-time All-
American : quarterback from Notre
Dame, w. coach the.. Brown and White .
is any criterion, '
Ever since Lehigh went on the non
• scholarship basis things have been in,
a constant state of change in Bethle
hem. First, Dr; Nelion Kellogg, •of
Purdue, was appointed as difector of
,
athletics; "next, three assistants to
(Coach)Aussy Tate were named from
Purdue football ranks. All three re
ceived a taste of the Notre Dame
, system (Rockne style) under Carideo's
tutelage when he was a Boilermaker
assistant coach. And now, with the
Little Napoleon as head coach, it lochs
a% if Clan Higgins is going to be up
against a new deal,Lehigh eleven in
. the future. •

Penn.7—Ohio State 20
Forty thousand spectators watched
Penn go down to its worst defeat of
the year 'at the hands of the • Ohio
State team. Harvey Harmon's play;
ers weren't conceded to have a chance
in the game and lived up to predic
tions. This Saturday's game will be
a different story with the Penn team

as heavy favorites

goal line, dribbled along, and then
bounced into Boring's arms as he stood
on the goal line. Two Bluejay ends,
coming in too fast ,slid by the Lion
fullback and the remaining nine de
fenders. were flattened by Nittany
length-of-the-field return.
It was one of those plays that come
about as the result of snap judgment.
Considered from an orthodox football
angle, the play was fundamentally
Unsound, but, behind a 20-to-0 lead,
the Lions had everything to gain and
nothing hinged on possible failure.
Cooper, Sigel Score
Not until seventeen minutes after
the opening kick-off was made did
the hostiles get possession of the ball
tribute to Lion power and alert
nesi:"McClean returned Bill Cooper's
opening kick-off .to the 14-yard line,
where Lion tacklers downed the Blue
jay back with such force that the pig
skin squirted from his possession and
Penn State, recovered. That brief
moment was the only time that the
visitors were on the offensive until
two Lion touchdowns had been scored.
I "Barrel" Morrison penetrated the
visitors' line for a seventeen-yard gain
and followed it up with a series of
'short plung,es that, coupled with an
off-side penalty and help from Harry
Sigel, left halfback, gave the Lions a
' first down on the Bluejay 5-yard line.
Sigel went to the goal line, Fullback
Cooper-carried it across, his kick went
awry, and the Lions held a 6-to-0 ad
vantage.
The second touchdown was not long
in coming. Morrison returned the
visitors' kick-off fifty-five yards, but I
couldn't get past the Bluejay safety-j
mini. Short, consistent gains, with
Morrison, Sigel, and Cooper alter-,
nating at carrying the ball, rolled up I
two first downs and another touch
down, with Sigel going across from
the 3-yard line. Cooper's kick was '
good this time.
. With the opening of the second
quarter, the Lions opened another
scoring drive from their 36-yard line.
Sigel scored the third Blue and White
touchdown from the 1.4-yard line.
Cooper's kick was again good. Then
came Boring's spectacular run for the
fourth Lion touchdown.
Nine playa later the score rose to
33-to-0 when a pass, "Red" O'Hora
'to Art Fry, was good for a thirty
five-yard gain as the half ended. Leo
Skemp's kick, was good..
Passes. Score for Bluejays
Most of,the play, during . the third
quarter Was in the Lions' territory,
with Johns Hopkins' lone score going
across after a thlrty-five-yard drive.
Right Halfback Beeler tossed a flat
zone pass to Weeks on the 10-yard
line and the.Bluejay end — went the re
maining distance unmolested.
In the last ' , aster the Lions un-
...e last quarter L..
loosed a scoring drive from their own
21-yard line that, culminated in the
final touchdown of the game when
Fritz Andrews passed to Dick Maurer
to bring—the ball to the 1-yard line.
Boring took it across on the next play'
and "Lefty" Knapp kicked the extra
point to make the score 40-to-6.

Lions To Concentrate on Smoothing
Out Attack for Quaker Contest
Satisfied that the Lion gridmen have
a sound ground-work in football fund
amentals, Head Coach Bob Higgins
began pork on smoothing out the
rough spots in the Nittany attack this
,afternoon in preparation for the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania 'game on
Franklin field, Philadelphia, this Sat
urday afternoon.
For the remainder of the week,
Captain Tommy Slusser and his mates
will run through signal drills and con
centrate on "polishing" the offensive
that will-be uncovered when the Lion-
Quaker. grid series is resumed after a
three-your lapse in relations.
Considered as Penn State's most
natural and climaxing contest, the
game with the Red and Blue has as
sumed all-important significance to
the Lions. A victory over the Quakers
will give the Blue and White
,a suc
cessful season—both In percentage
figures and in additional prestige.
Nearly the entire Lion squad came
!through the John Hankins game with
outj serious injuries and the interlude
l of Blue and Waite scoring added con
fidence to their morale. Replacing
three Lion stahvarts who were injured
in.previous battles, hoWever, presents
a problem that the coaching corps
will have to solve this week.
Tony Bedoski, hurt in the Syracuse
game, and Remniy Wnolridge, with a
afternoon, both are temporarily on the
shoulder injury suffered Saturday

list of Lion incapacitated. Whether
one or both will be ready for the Penn
Zama remained a matter of conjecture
today. Dick Woolbert, veteran tackle
also injured in the Syracuse game, is
definitely out for the remainder of the
season.
The Penn game is one of the oldest
grid • series in Lion football history.
,It began In 1890 and has been an
annual affair almost over since then.
IThe 1933 game will mark the thirty-
second game..
Following the 1929 game, which the
Lions won by a 10-to-7 score, relations
were suspended, chiefly because, it was
said at the time, that the rivalry was
becoming so bitter .as to carry it be
yond the realm of pure sportsmanship.
The last game was one of the most
bitterly fought in Lion-Quaker grid
relations, and was costly to botn
teams.

OFF-TACKLE PLAYS
Cubs Outplay Bucknell Team
By . Margin of 5-to-I
In First Downs
I=l
A ponderous Byelawll Bison year
ling was too powerful for the Nittany
Lion cub Saturday, and the Penn
State freshmen received a 12-to-0 de
feat, their first of the season.
The Bisons scored twice in the sec-
and quarter, the first time on a 95
yard run off tackle by Smith, sub
stitute right halfback. A few minute.;
later, Smith again carried the ball
59 yards for another touchdown. It
was the same play on which Bucknell
scored their first six points.
State Recovers Fumbles
The first quarter was devoid of any
scoring threats. Bucknell kicked off to
State. Failing to gain, Robbins
punted. The Bucknell safety man
fumbled and ituri'ay recovered on
State's 44-yard line. Robbins dropped
back to pass, but was unable to find
a man open, and ran for OM yards and
a first down.
State then punted. Bucknell was
unable to advance the ball, and Gen
etic punted to State's 37-yard stripe.
Robbins made another first down for
the Lions. After an exchange of
punts, State recovered a Bucknell
fumble on Bucknell's 17-yard line as
the quarter ended.
OM-Tackle Plays Score
After two line plunges and•a pass.
Girton tried a place kick. It was
blocked and Bucknell recovered on
their own 10-yard line. On the next
play, Smith broke through tackle and
ran 96 yards for the first touchdown
of the game.
Bucknell kicked off to State, and
after an exchange of punts, Fazio in
tercepted.a Lion pass on the 41-yard
line. On the next play, Smith broke
through tackle again and ran fifty
nine yards for the last touchdown of
the day.
For the rest of the half, the play
see-sawed back and forth between the
35-yard lines. .
As the second half opened, Bucknell
kicked off, and the Lion cubs gained
thirty-three yards on line plunges and
a penalty. Bucknell could not gain
and kicked to State's 48-yard line. A
few plays later, Robbins made another
first down on Bucknell's 46-yard
marker. On four line plunges, the
Lions carried the ball to the 3-yard
line as the third quarter ended.
Robbins Outstanding
The fourth quarter was a duplicate
of the first with all the action in mid
field. The Lions tried several passes
in the last few minutes, two of which
were completed for short gains. The
game ended with the ball in Bucknell's
possession in the middle.of the field.
- Robbins was the outstanding per
former in the Lion backfield ; carry
ing the ball for every one of ' the
State first downs. With the exception
of the two touchdown plays, the Lion
plebes outgained the Bisons, making
88 yards from scrimmage as compared
with forty-five for Bucknell. , • •

Encounter With
Western Champs
To Practice Daily For
Meet With Minors
On Saturday
Scrimmaging daily to offset any op
position that the University of Illinois
soccer team might offer in Saturday's
encounter, the Blue and White squad
anxiously awaits the meet with last
year's championship team of the Mid-
Western intercollegiate soccer associa
tion.
Traveling 750 miles from Urbana,
Illinois, the invaders will arrive here
early Friday morning where they will
stake moves to defeat the champion
ship-bound Jeffrey aggregation in the
fifth encounter of the season. This
will mark the first inter-sectional
game between any teams of Mid-
Western and Eastern intercollegiate
soccer groups.
Will Test Lions
Boasting an all-time record of
twenty-five wine, five ties, and only
four defeats, the opponents will conic
here highly touted. During their short
existence as a member of the Mid
western association, they have tallied
117 goals to twenty-four registered
against them.
Since Illinois is only an associate
member of the eastern group, this en
gagement will not be considered as a
championship match. Coach Bill Jef-
Ifrey believes, however, that this meet
will determine the relative strength
of the Lion booters for their approach
ing Springfield encounter, the fourth
and . last intercollegate match.
As a result of Navy's 2-to-0 triumph I
ever Haverford Saturday, only two 1
teams, Penn and Springfield, remain I
to give the Blue and . White squad I
cause for worry. Coach Bill Jeffrey
places his hopes for a victory against
the Springfield bootermen on ..an
abundance of first-string material, to-1
gether with this year's perfect seor-1
ing record..
