Monday Evening, January 8, 1934 Between the Lions with The Sports Editor We were surprised at' the comeback ,f the Lion basketball team during the last half of the Juniata game. For the first twenty minutes it was a sorry lot of Lion courtmen who man aged to keep the Juniata lead down to one point as the half ended. Maybe Coact Spike Leslie gave his men a bit of a pep talk bet Ween 'halves; at any rate it was a rejuvenated spirit and line-up that returned to the floor to make the game a run-away. The Lion players were fighting as much against the boos of the crowd as the were against the Juniata team. But MacFarlane had to put up the stiffest front of all. After hay ing his epsom downs in the first game .against Susquehanna, he ernie under' the wire ehead, of three jockeys the' Coda pit on him. He said, after the game that the yells that met I KM 'when he came on the floor before the 'start' of • the contest warned - hinri that, unless he made good he would be; in for it from the crowd. Twenty- i three points' showed his return to stel lar performance. ' Important news broke over the week-end, but none lims of. greater interest to sport fans than the an nouncement 'of Steve llamas' match with Max Scluneling. Although pa pers fcir the bout have not yet been .signed, it has been confirmed that the managers of both boxers have agreed to a fifteen-round match scheduled for Philadelphia on February 14. To llamas the fight will mean 'a chance to return to the Eat of leading contenders in the heavyweight class. His trick knee kept him out of the 'game until it ...was 'thought he would 'never be able to come .back. But a successful operation was performed and the former Lion athlete returned last fall to win a complete victory over Les Ramage, after previously taking it on the chin in two battles with the rising west coast heavy weight. With his good condition back he is expected to provide a severe test for' the once-champion Schmeling.l Yussel Jacobs, the German's hand ler, is a crafty manager. He sees in the lesser experienced llamas a chance for Schmeling to score a quick victory and Show the ring solons that he is again a contender for the cham pionship. It remains for Hanias to show the punch he put up in his first fight against Loughran, and Schmel ing.ivill VOunted 'ont 'the heavy weight race in 'more 'ways than-one. The hidden ball trick that Colum bia used to defeat Stanford is nothing new in football. Serails say that Lou Little learned it way back when he coached in high school. But the play has to be perfectly executed, and Bar abas and Montgomery did just that. Bob Higgins' men can tell you all about it; because they had the same touchdown play scored on them by the Columbia eleven in their game at New York last season. Montgomery, with arms folded, made a plunge to ward the center . of the line, and the Nittany Lions piled in to stop him only to see Barabas glide around the end and over the goal line with the ball hidden close to his hips. —.T.

A slow start and con siderable back-firing accounted for the poor showing against Juniata in the first half Saturday, although they did speed up in the second lap to outdis tance the Blue and Yellow by a score of 39-to-IS. During Thursday night's opening test against 'Susquehanna, the need of streamlining was evident throug.hour the race, even though the Lions did take • the lead and hold it, to win 47-to-20. Ragged form, evident throughout the encounter, retarded the effectiveness ,of what should have been a Blue and i White system. At best it, was a hit- I and-miss affair, with a great deal of !missing in view. Dickinson Unknown Quantitty Dickinson is that worst of oppon ents, an unknown quantity. Wednes day night at 7:30 will mark the first time that any member of. the Lion starting quintet, and they are all sen iors, has stepped up against a Red Devil courtman. Pre-game calcula tions in such a case are hard to make, but there isn't a Lion who doesn't see a hard fight ahead if the Blue and White five are to walk off the floor victorious. Realizing the necessity for greater 'smoothness, Coach Leslie today and tomorrow will take time to correct details which obstructed Lion prog ress in the season's openers. "Re-. finement evident in every detail," is to be the Lion objective for the lied' and Gray encounter. Five seniors started both Lion en counters in the opening matches, with Captain Norrie McFarlane and Carl Ilelittum at forward posts, Curt Hen ning jumping center, and Dave Thomas and Keith Parks in guard positions: The Nittanymen rolled up nine points to' three for the Blue and Yel low as a salute to the first half. They then let their offensive defense crumble, before ' the over-anxious straining of•Juniata to alloW the vis itors seven tallies. Ragged passing, poor timing, and little cooperation left the Lions trailing a, point, 11.40. 12, as the half ended, -Lions Too Fast for Crusaders After a,ragged second period start, Nittany play suddenly broke into a successful rhythm, with the Lion men scoring nine points in rapid' 'succes sion. MacFarlane got his eye on the basket, dropping in seven field goals out of eleven attempts, while Stocker dropped two and Henning and Thom as one each. Juniata squeezed seven points out during the half. In the Susquehanna match, only the inherent superiority of the Lion team pulled them through what might have been a reversal of opening game tradition. All during the game, Nit tanymen showed rough• edges; al though their last play proved far too dazzling- for the more studied game of the Crusader squad.

He will attend a me2ting of this group which will be held in Atlanta, Ga., some time in February. In his speech before the convention, Director Bezdek advocated setting up a guide for a return to simplicity in football, because, in his opinion, the game is now too complex. The guid ing principles at present are so in volved that the player •has to spend far too much time in Mastering them, he believes. "At the present, ther3 is far too much restriction,' , - 'he said, in part. "It prevents the forMulation of new set-ups and plays.

Page Three TRACKMEN CALLED BY COACH WERNER Varsity, Freshman Candidates To Begin Indoor Training For Spring Meets Calls for freshman and varsity can didates for tract: practic.2 for the win ter months have been issued by Track Coach "Chick" Werner. Every man who expects to compete in the track and field contests this winter and during the coming spring is requested to turn out. ' While plans for some of the events are only tentative, Werner plans to hays vaulting apparatus installed in Recreation hall, and also have a place for putting a shot and for high jump ing. The running will be done on the indoor track. Outside Practice Planned During favorable weather, the out door wooden running track located above the tennis courts on New Beav er field will be utilized, Werner said. In additlon to the running track; ar rangements will be made outside for hurdling and high jumping. It is quite possible, Werner said, that an indoor track meet with some other college may be arranged in or der to give the candidates a - taste of competitibn. However, the meet would have to ber held away, as Penn State has no facilities for a winter contest, he added. • Although many candidates hay. !been reporting for practice, Coael Werner feel that many eligible run ners and weight men in the freshmm class, together with members of ill. upper classes, have neglected to begin practice.
