Car Rolls into Canal The car, driven by Peffer, was heading toward Harrisburg on the single lane concrete which was under construction when the accident occurred. • While traveling at a speed of sixty miles .an hour, the front jwheel of the car dropped off the concrete. In an effort to get it back onto the concrete, Peffer jerked the wheel too hard and the car hurtled across the road and somersaulted down the fifty-foot embankment. There was no guard-rail so that the automobile rolled over twice and landed on its side,in the bed of the canal-, 100 feet from the road. Long street was thrown through the roof in the descent, and all of the students were knocked unconscious. The bot tom of the canal was - covered with water, so that several of them might have drowned if one of them had not regained consciousness quickly l and dragged the others to safety. A passing car was hailed, the stu dents were’ taken back to Lewistown and Peffer was- rushed to the hos pital.

Penn State Lettermen Souls, Campus Music “For glory~of Old State , For her founders strong and great ” Many outstanding Penn State ath letes during the past fifteen years, have not only been inspired by the Alma Mater on the field of honor but have played and sung it themselves in campus musical organizations. But the old order has changed giv ing way to a newer era when athlete musicians are more rare. Gentlemen of note, including Professors Richard W. Grant and Hummel Fishburn, of the music department, recall with nostalgic retrospection alumni like “Hinkcy” Haines. ’2l, brilliant foot ball star, virtually a virtuoso of the pianoforte.- “It ism'ff an indictment against music,” Director Grant said, viewing the group photographs of former glee clubs which line his office walls, “It’s just that it’s too hard for a man to practice football, for example, and be on hand for a rehearsal at 7 o’- clock without having had time to cat his dinner.” Chief among those who can mix their sports and music with success at the present time is “Mike” Zeleznock, ’35, 115-pound intercollegiate boxing champ. “Mike” is a baritone in the Glee Club and had a featured vocal solo in last year’s Thespian show. Another singer-boxer, is J. Briggs Pruit ’36.

Lions Swgmp Brown and White 31-0 in First Away Victory Since ’29 Season; Sigel Scores 3 Times Alumni Wax Eloquent Regarding Victory At Bethlehem'- Forecast ‘Even Break’ At Columbia Saturday By FRED WRIGHT. A judicious combination ;of the Le high victory, the, magic, of* {a Satur day night without' the- wife’s influ ence, and'four Manhattan^‘as a pre lude to a hit dinner mads the three alumni wax enthusiastic; • “I tell you, they-looked good today. Lehigh never had a chance against our-line and some'of those plays were so slick I couldn't.eveh'see who-had the ball'from the'stands’,” the first Alumnus observed. ~r ' s ‘ “What do you-. think wc’ll- do against Columbia next?” asked the second. ‘v " “Even break,” came the answer. “Last year they went over to New York green as, far ias experience on away fields goes;. This year it’ll be different.” . .’'V “I say it’ll be close, loo,” the third said. “There aren’t any Montgom erys on Columbia.this year, you know. The thing I’m afraid of is that Co lumbia may be just a bit too tricky.” “Yah, Lou Little always has some thing up his sleeve, but I hear Co lumbia doesn’t have much of a pass ing attack. Columbia’il need trick stuff; but don’t forget we haven’t opened up-yet either,” came the an swer. “It won’t be any walk-away this year. Hell, State held ’em the first part of the game. The trouble was last, year-we didn’tTiavc any reserves. The way it looks this year Bob can put'three-men in an’ every one’ll be just as the man they replac ed.” “Higgins has the best line I ever saw, any State team have. Those guys were .tackling., _ Two.. and three hit ti\e-runneTat : r bhce sometimes?’ ''' ' “Hey, when was the last time wc won three in a row? There’s some thing for you sport columnists.” “Well, when was the last time we licked a team away? We licked Le high in 1331, but that was a post-sea ■son game.” ! “I think it was 1923, the time wc walloped Penn. You know, the game that made Penn break relations,” somebody said. ‘Wait’ll we get ’em this year.” “Say, were you up to the smoker? ‘Chick’ . Werner said something straight from the shoulder. He said j that when he came ’here last year he never saw a school so low athletical ly. It looks like things are on the rebound.” The third alumnus interjected with: "That Lehigh rooter sure shut up aft er the half. For the first three plays I thought I was going to have to cat my words, but after that I could rib him all I wanted." “Did you heart that smart crack during the Lehigh alma mater? This Lehigh grad yells ‘Hey, John, put your hat back on; you were only here six months.’ “Boy, they sure looked good. If we lick Columbia, wc ought to be un defeated.” Which should give a pretty good indication of what alumni spurt fol lowers thought of the team after the game.

COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE Gridders Cross Goaline 2 Times Early in First Quarter Weber Nabs 2 Fumbles On 13-, 10-Yard Stripes By DONN SANDERS The Nittany Lion made .its first sally from, its lair on Sat urday afternoon and returned again after soundly frouncing the Brown and White of Lehigh, 31-to-0. Early in the first quarter the Blue and White eleven asserted its mastery of the situation, scoring two touchdowns and adding another in each of the three remaining periods. The victory was the first’for a Lion eleven on foreign turf since the seventh game of a nine-game schedule in 1929, when State defeated Penn, .19- to-7. It also marked, the first time the Blue and White has won three games in a row since the 1930 season, when Niagara, Lebanon Valley, and Marshall were downed in order. Lions Outplay Lehigh The tilt marked State’s'first ap pearance on Lehigh ground since 1920, when the two teams battled-to a 7-to-7 tie. Athletic relations were broken in 1920 and resumed- again in 1931, when the schools met in"a post-season charity game in Philadel phia. The score then was ; also 31- .... - , ... . _ ""“Showing 'thc~'i>est' of the season, tackling cleanly, block ing fiercely, and playing [neads-up football- all the way, the Lions-left no. doubt in the minds of the 8,000 spectators in Taylor Stadium as to which was the better team. • • Breaks of the game paved the way for four of the Lions’ touchdowns. Poor punts, fumbles, and -blocked kicks gave the. .Higgins proteges their chance and not once did they fail to take advantage of Lehigh'-mis takes. Sigel Scores 3 Times , Lehigh was completely outclassed. Their blocking was bad; their tack ling worse. The Lion backs-repeat edly evaded or esenped the Lehigh de fense men. The forward wall broko through time and again to throw the Brown and White ball carriers for substantial losses. Harry Sigel and Tommy Silvano were the Lions’ running threats. Sig el scored three times. Lefty Knapp seemed to find himself for the first time this season, starting the game at left half in place of Captain Mer rill Morrison, who was not in uni-, form. Mikclonis was acting captain. The gains of the Engineers were the result of individual brilliance rather than of cooperation. Captain Harold Ock, Warren Fairbanks, and Joe Carlin did well but received very little help. Execute Fake Reverse The first break for the Lions came when Silvano intercepted a Lehigh pass on the Lehigh 40-yard line and ran it to the 32-yard stripe before being stopped. The Lions were able to gain only eight yards and Lehigh took the ball on downs. A penalty at this point set them back and Ham Reidy attempted to punt out of dan ger. II was a bad kick, the ball go ing to Knapp on the Lehigh 45-yard line. He returned it five yards. Sigel and Silvano accounted for twelve yards and a first down on the Lehigh 28-yard line. On the next play Silvano, on a fake reverse to Sigel, went inside left tackle for twenty-eight yards and a touchdown. .Mikclonis’ placement kick went wide of the left post. Penn State kicked off and Lehigh put the ball- in play on their own 12- yard line. They gained six yards in two plays and then fumbled. Bob Weber, Lion tackle, broke through and recovered. Knapp made three yards, and then Sigel went wide around right end behind splendid in terference for the remaining ten yards and a touchdown. Siivano’s placement kick for the extra point hit the left upright and bounced back onto the field. Plentiful Substitutions • Early in the second quarter the Lions scored again. Knapp took a Lehigh punt on the State 45-yard line and returned it to the Lehigh 41-yard stripe. He then made twelve yards (Continued from page three)
