Tuesday, October 2,1934 Plebe Eleven Holds Sloppy Field Makes it Impossible To Judge Strength of Lion Team As They Outgain Yearlings, S-to-1 Higgins Uses 2 Complete Line-ups; Harry Sigel Makes Most Consistent Gains By DONN SANDERS The Nittany Lion pounced upon its own Cub on a sloppy New Beaver practice field Saturday afternoon with its customary meekness. Head Coach Bob Higgins ran in two complete teams besides numerous Substitutes, but they could do no more than tie the freshmen. Neither team scored. Although they gained .five times the yardage gained by the year lings, at no time did the varsity look impressive. But it was no day to judge a football team. The entire field was muddy and much of it was rovered with water. Rain poured down for the first half. Neither team worked any play with any consist-, ency with the exception of the third quarter when the varsity made a quick goal-ward march which was stopped seventeen yards from the wide stripe. • Oddly enough, neither team tried passing, although running with the ball was next to impossible. Both at tempted three passes, none of- which was completed. The game ,was, al most from the beginning, a punting duel, with the yearlings having a slight advantage. Kominick, plebe fullback, consistently got off long, high kicks, although a bit slowly. Four were blocked. . Of the two teams used by Coach Higgins, the second showed up the better. Harry Sigel accounted for almost half the yardage gained by the varsity, while Knapp made sev eral sizeable gains. Wilner account ed for most of the yearlings’ yard age.

All the veterans are back in the fold now with the exception of Joe Bielicki,' injured several days ago in an auto crack-up, Ben Palmer re turned over the week-end to take up the guardianship.of the uprights, aft er a bit of trouble with an infected foot.

Evidence of im proved technique, undoubtedly picked 1 up on the trip abroad, are manifest ing themselves more and’more, which indicates that the trip was worth the defeats administered. ! Coach Jeffrey has been experiment ing with several combinations so far, and although nothing resembling a complete starting line-up can be post ed yet, several players look to be definitely “in.” Ray BeH seems to have the nod' for the goaue position, but anything can—and frequently does —happen to previously announc ed line-ups. Bob Grahani at one full hack post seems a certainly, while big John Binns and Dick Sigel will scrap it outfor the other. Captain Jack Fletcher/ at center halfback adequately takes care of that pivotal post,- while Ed Long will in'all probability take the left half assignment. Bill . Sutliff and JuJie Krenms are battlers for the other berth and betis are, off -• as •to the starters<here.-.-ConriiCvvWelsh and Marple Ambler are • two /possibilities for the position of outside right, al though shifts in the'forward line are frequent and far-reaching. Two Sophs —Frank Osterlund and'Dick Hassler, are catching the eye of Coach Jef frey for their work at inside right. The contest for the center forward post is just what every mentor likes to see, for there one 'finds a plethora of material. Don Masters, George Corbett and Bill McEwan are players that almost any coach could use to advantage and predictions here are foolhardy. Joe Bielicki and Joe Un derwood arc two forward candidates that must be taken into considera tion; with the former holding an ad vantage of one year’s "experience.

Hannon was so frightened that he called oJV a scheduled scrim mage. The lion was an old one. It also was fat and grizzled, and to all outward appearances, it was harm less. But it was a Nittany lion, and Harmon was taking no chances. “You never can tell about those Nittany lions,” said Hrrvey. “Just when you think they won’t bite is the very time they are apt to grap a mouthful right out of your leg.” The lion’s name was “Hugobez dek.” “Just making a - social call,” said “Hugbbczdck.’ Penn plays Penn' State Novem ber-10 and-the’same instant-Har moiv and his aides saw “Hugobez dek” they, thought in unison, “scout.” :—Philadelphia Record, Sept. 29,’34 Stop cryini / “Wolf,” Harvey.

The story was written by Hoad Coach Bob Higgins who seems to think along the same lines as Mr. Bezdek when he remarked, “We’ll win them all.” A resume of the adventures of the soccer team in Scotland last summer will also appear in the first issue. Jack Fletcher, ’ captain of the Nittany Booters, is the author and should be able to describe fairly accurately how tight, the Scotch are when, it OUR.

Although Captain Harvey won, as expected, he was closely pressed all the way by Book, tall, blond junior, who finished only a few paces behind him. In contrast, the third place man was more than a lap behind Book. Harvey’s time over the Uvo-mile course was ten minutes and thirty seconds, with Book a quarter minute slower. Downey, last year’s star yearl ing thinlyclad, was third in 11:02 and Alexander finished fourth in 11:40. The shortened course was to enable the freshmen and varsity teams to compete together. The two teams were chosen by Book and Downey, and the latter’s team, which included Harvey, was the victor.
