NITTANY BOOTERS
TO PLAY TEMPLE
AWAYTOMORROW
Jeffrey Proposes Few
Line-up Changes
For Owl Tilt
By WALT FREUNSCH
“They may not be a bunch of Sam
sons, but we’re looking for them to do
a little Temple-wrecking of their own
over the week-end.” So runs the cam
pus sentiment concerning the soccer
match with the Owls In Philadelphia
Saturday, the first away scrap of the
season.
Defeated last year, 4-to-0, and by a
similar score in 1931, the Cherry and
White squad holds few terrors for the
Nittany aggregation. Reports from
Temple indicate an improved team,
but to a team possibly pointing to
ward another intercollegiate cham
pionship, the threat seems minute.
The line-up announced last night
by Coach Jeffrey is almost the same
as that for the Gettysburg tilt, the
outside left post being the only un
certain spot. Connie Welsh, Herm
Casterline, or George Corbett are
possibilities. Ray Bell, one of the few
unseored-on goalies in college circles,
will start, with Ben Palmer ready to
relieve him.
Bob Graham and Jack Binns will
fill fullback jobs, while the halfback
triumvirate will be composed of Cap
tain Jack Fletcher, flanked by Ed
Long and Bill Sutliff. The other stal
warts on the forward wall include
Marple Ambler at outside right,
Frankie Osterlund at inside right,
Bill McEwan at center forward, and
Joe Bielicki at inside left. Don Mas
ters and Dick Sigel, who saw consid
erable service last Saturday, will
form part of the reserve strength.
INTRAMURAL
HIGHLIGHTS
By VANCE PACKARD
Football Feuds Begin
Casting aside their gabardine suits,
and sleek manners, the inhabitants of
forty-six fraternities, clubs,, and halls
are daily crawling into their 'most
disreputable clothes and seeking re
laxation -in- the unsophisticated game
of touch-football..
Three games are being played-ev
ery day; Ergo, there are three few
er clubs in the tourney at the end
of each day. To date, seventeen of
them have fallen by the proverbial
wayside. Two of the three games are
played on the soccer practice field in
the ‘afternoon, and the other debauch
is held on the New Beaver practice
field, under the spot lights, n’ every
thing.
The most dramatic fracas yet reg
istered was held Wednesday night
when Lou ICreizman’s Phi Sigma Del
ta proteges squared off with the Phi
Eps. With only four minutes of the
game left, the Phi Eps gained the
first six pointer of the game. This;
however, did not end it.
With only a minute and a half to
go, the Phi Sigs found themselves in
the plight of being sixty-five yards
from the goal. Undaunted, they flung
a couple of passes and tied the score.
With the referee poising his gun aloft
(just like in the movies) they tried
for the extra point. Pip Block pull
ed a and much to the chag
rin of- all loyal Phi Eps, the game
ended with the Phi Sigs ahead by a
single count, 7-6.

clubs (units is the official designa
tion) , have entered the horse-shoe

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
WRIGHTING
Between
The Lions
■By FRED W. WRIGHT'
At it again:
Navy at Columbia. Navy had
trouble winning last week and, al
though Columbia isn’t as strong as
last year, there is always the ad
vantage of playing in your own
back yard. One vote for Columbia,
14-0.
Minnesota at Pittsburgh. Min
nesota has reputedly one of the
strongest teams in the country.
The Pennsylvania Football Insti
tute has reputedly one of (he
strongest teams in the East. The
Civil War decided the issue in fa
vor of the country. One wavering
vote for the Badgers, 7-6.
St. Mary’s at Fordham. Ford
ham won by 2*o last season, but
the Rams are weaker this year.
Despite a 3,000-mile trip as a pre
requisite, one strong vote for the
Gaels, 7-0.
Wisconsin at Purdue. Our Big
Ten authority says Wisconsin. He’s
willing to bet money. He says they
can’t miss, it’s in the bag. One
vote for Purdue, 7-0.
Holy Cross at Harvard. Holy
Cross is known far and wide as the
nation’s baseball college, but the
pay-off comes on the football field
these Saturday. One vote for Har
vard, 19-0. (We feel *a headache
coming on.)
Brown at Yale. Harvard defeat
ed Brown by two touchdowns, but
that’s not saying Yale will repeat.
Brown also outrushed Harvard, six
first downs to two, and 136 yards
to 93. Yale was unimpressive
against Penn last week, but they’ll
probably lick Brown, 14-0.
Carnegie Tech at Notre Dame.
The Fightin*'lrish started slowly,
came forward with a rush against
Purdue last week. Carnegie Tech
has been heeding Horace Greeley
too much of late. One vote for No
tre Dame,' 20-0.
Tennessee at Alabama. You know
as much about this one as Smythe.
The Crimsoh' Tidc by four touch
downs.
Rutgers at’ Pennsylvania. Both
teams are lousy, which should bring
all readers from Rutgers to their
feet. One weak vote for the Gates
Plan, 12-0..
F. and M.' aV Ursinus. ' , Without
further ado, ‘ one ’vote for Nevo
nia, 13-G.
Penn State’ at Lehigh. The
Brown and White are improved
over last season, but their 52-7 vic
tory over Haverford doesn’t mean
anything. .Apparently the Engi
neers are due;‘for another drub
bing—if the' Nittany Lion Isn’t too
inclined to think the same way and
forget to block. A flock of votes
for 'the Lion, 27-0, if it doesn’t
rain.
Record to date: .679, 19 out of
28 attempts.

rather than quality; has entered four
teams. Last year’s winner, Sigma Pi,
has entered only one team. How
ever, of the two people on this team,
Bob Struble, grand champion twirler
.for the past two years, is one of
them.
Harriers Start'Training
In an effort to eliminate the far
cial, yet tragic, situation of last year
where persons ran who didn’t know
what a pair of spiked shoes looked
like, all runners must now practice
at least five nights before they can
run in the meet next Thursday.
Fourteen teams have signed up.
Those listed are A. Z., Beta Theta
Pi, Chi Phi, Chi U.,. Delta Sig, Phi

7 HARRIERS LEAVE
TODAY FOR LEHIGH;
TEAMWORK VISIBLE
4 Sophomores, 2 Seniors’
Junior Form Team;
Record Stands
Teamwork. That is the watchword
among this year’s cross-country team.
And Tuesday afternoon in the time
trials for tomorrow’s Lehigh meet
Captain Harvey furnished a vivid
portrayal of what the word means
when he sacrificed his chance of
breaking the course record in a suc
ccssfulattempt to aid a teammate.
Book and Harvey (who said, Mutt
and Jeff?) started out together—fast.
About half way through'the race
Book doubled up with a pain in his
mid-section. He dropped back, .Har
vey did likewise.
“Go on”—that universal harrier
cry—“go on, don’t wait for me.”
But Harvey didn’t go:on. There was
a record beckoning, yet he slowed
•down and nursed and coaxed Book
along until they came within sight of
the track. Only then , did he sprint
ahead, to finish in 27:36, still only
eleven seconds over the course record.
Boole, weak, finished in 27:58. Det
wiler, a sophomore, came through in
28:09. The name is Don but the sen
iors, at least, will remember another
Detwiler, Dick by name, who starred
for two-years and placed second in the
IC-1A meet of 1930 which the Lion
team won with twenty-nine points—
the lowest score in fifteen years.
Fourth place went to Downey, last
year’s star freshman thinyclad, in
28:18 and he was followed by Alex
ander, the only senior besides Harvey
on the teamb, who was clocked in
28:32. Trimble and Crum, both soph
omores, won their places on the team
by tying for sixth place in •• 28:38,
bringing the total number of sopho
mores to four out of sevent.
There you have the team—Harvey,
Book, Detwiler, Downey, Alexander,
Trimble and Crum —which left this
morning at 9 o’clock determined to
show the Engineers what a well-con?
slructed cross-country team looks like
—from the rear.
This afternoon they ' will receive
one of the surprises of their lives,
when they inspect the course, for, al
though none of them yet, know it, it
is composed of roads of all varieties
—dirt, gravel, asphalt, and concrete.
It may be describesd as easy on the
mind/but hard on the feet.
The starting gun will open, the sea
son for both teams at 11 o’clock to
morrow lnorning and most of the
Lion harriers will sprint immediately
into the lead. That will be threatened
by only one man—Captain Curt Bay
er of Lehigh, but he will be unsucc
essful and at least five State men
will cross the finish line before Bay
er. The 1934 cross-couptry season
will have been opened with a perfect
score.
If the footing is sufficiently secure,
Harvey will break the course record
of 28:32. It is doubtful, however, that
his time will be under 28 minutes. But
then we may be wrong.

Of Contest With Seminary

Playing strangers on their .home

afternoon.
The Lion cubs opened their season
two weeks ago when they defeated

was defeated only by .Bucknell.. . .
