Thursday. Evening, November 16, 1933 flot*Ogo : the Lions with The Sports Editqr It amused us' to run across this bit of humcir in ~ - T hiladelphia paper , a few weeks ago: "Bave yoti ever:thought that these socalled "breather games" in football games often get the winner out of breath? It is said that.the last per iod of the Bena : Btate 7 Cquinhia game was cut to six minutes to keep the Little Blue team from getting blisters on their feet. . "Incidentally Bert Bell has a sig nificant comment on the Penn State team. 'That is — one . game Penn will not lose,' Bell- 'State alvays has about six Men running in the other team's interference.' ".' All of which'.hands ts• our biggest chuckle of the season. Penn wl,ll need its second wind to cyan match the battle that our Nittany Lions are go ing to put up. As fOr Bert Bell he would do Much better 'to get a pro football team in • Philadelphia that I would amount to something instead of that droopy bunch of Eagles he has entered in the National Professional Football League. " . In every game .the Nittany Lions have won fr,om the Penn team in the past there has come to the sore an outstanding Penn State player who has stolen'the:whole show. The pres ent array of Blue and White players would do well- to be inspired by the record of Coach Bob I:liggins . who 'played the best -game : of his: career against Penn in 1919. Taking over the punting job for the first time in a college game, Higgins averaged forty-five yards on his kicks, good enough for an experienced punter, be sides playing his end position with such a finesse that he was picked as All-American for that xeasop. It was Light-Horse Harry Wilson who starred in the Penn games of 1922 and 1923. Ehecially in the 1923 game was he spectacular, running roughihodPoverAhe whole Penn tenm and ncoring - three touchdowns. Nine teen twenty-seven saw Johnny Roepke doing the kicking, passing, and run ning for the Nittany Lions, defeating the Red and Blue eleven,almost single handed. In the last Philadelphia game in 1929 Cooper French wss the Penn State 'hero. Late in the min he in tercepted a Penn pass and ran for . seventy-eight yards for one touchdown of the game„.snd earlier had snared another Red . srui Blue pass, and tore away for thirty-five rirds to within striking distance of the Penn goal Brie, front where the Nittany Lions quickly pushed over another touch; down. Coach Harvey HaTon is woreying . about the game Saturday; and well •he might. He has promised a wholesale 'Change in the Penn line-up to put more pep into the team. When a sea son has advanded thus far, a coach is uenally satisfied and seldom makes any substitutions in his starting team, unless because of injuries. ..But at least five changes are planned, and the one which we see as a definite aid to thvghances of the Nittany Lions the benching of Don -Kellet, outstand ing Penn back who has had 9 let-do:tyn in the few games: , ' We look for Saturdai'a game to be a repetition of the past, in that Penn State will win, and that one particular Nittany Lion will run the Penn team ragged. Not that the whole Fiue and White team will not be fighting . , to gether to win. In spite of the ft:4 that the Penn eleven is fnye'red to . come out on top, Captain Tommy Slus ser and the rest of those clawing Nit tanY .Lions are inspired and determin ed to be ahead when the whistleblows. The old grad talking to a Philadel phia/columnist explains our feelings on lthe game: "Just another word before you go. We play Penn State' Saturday. The record of the State team isn't too im pressive, but the 40-to-0 victory over Johns, Hopkins indicates that they are reaching top form.. They've Jest to Columbia and Syracuse, but I've never .seen a Penn State team on Franklin Field that didn't fight like hell., They'll give us plenty or trptlble."

Harvey Is Lion Hope • Rishell, whose running has been dis appointing• thus far this season, has always made a good showing at Van Cortlandt. Last'year' he placed seven teenth, so that with an additional year's training and experience, he can be expected to finish among the first fifteen on Monday. With George, Harvey rests most of '.the Lion hopes., He appeared to have little difficulty in 'heating Captain Bateman, Syracuse; in the dual meet two weeks ego: Baternan, Who' finish ed eighteenth' last year in the inter collegiates, while Harvey teak forty seventh, is considered by Coach' Tom Keane of 'Syracuse,. to have improved over • last year.

COniDarative Scores Flior Penn Although the Quakers can boast of only two victories this season, Coach HaiveY Herman has an eleVert which is far from being a bet-up. The game Saturday will be a test . of whether the Pinn State - on-Franklin-field tra dition is stronger or weaker than Penn on the rebound after a drubbing from Ohio State.

Foresters Show Power The game is not going to be a set up for the Lions, however, as the young-Foresters showed plenty of pow er when they defeated, the Dickinson freshmen 6-to-0, two..weeks ago. They also defeated Carson Long Military School 18=to-6. According to press re ports, they outplayed the Red and Gray consistently, and Dickinson nev er had a chance to score. ' However, the Lion Cubs' record is one of the best in recent years. It in eludes a 38-to-7 victory over the Villa nova plebes, and a 13-to-7 win over the Gettysburg first-yeat team.
