Tuesday, October 23, 1934 Thinlyclads Roll Up Team Takes First 6 Places As Harvey Sets New Course Record To Open ’34 Season Lions 'Fulfill Pre-Meet Predictions; Point For Pittsburgh By HARRY URR For the story of the cross-country meet against, Lehigh at Bethlehem Saturday morning read the last two paragraphs of the story in the last issue of the Collegian, official Col lege newspaper. In case you can’t find a copy of the last issue; here are the para graphs in question: The starting gun will open the season for both teams and most of the Lion harriers will sprint imme diately into the lead. That lead will be threatened by only one man —Captain Bayer of Lehigh, but he will bo unsuccessful and at least five .State men will cross the fin ish line before Bayer. The 1934 cross-country season will have been opened with a perfect score. If the footing is sufficiently se cure, Harvey will break-the course record of 28:32. It is doubtful, however, that his time will be un der 28 minutes. But then we may be wrong. As amended by time, the first para graph should be in 'the past tense and read ‘all of the Lion harriers’ in stead of ‘most of the Lion harriers’ and ‘six State men’ instead of ‘at least five State men.’ The second paragraph would have •been perfect if they had played fair, but they didn’t even run the regular course. Harvey, instead of break-; ing a record, set a new one—at 28 minutes, 11 a course at the Saucon Valley Country Club rather than over the usual road course. The last-day change was made at the request of Coach Werner who: feared the effect the continual pound ing would have on. the feet of his boys who must be in perfect condition for Saturday’s Pittsburgh meet, which will be the hardest dual meet of the season. Run Over New Course As the new course was 176 yards over the i*egulation five-mile distance, thereby adding between a half and three-quarters-of- a minute---to—the time, and because a good part _of it was in the rough, it is probable that Harvey would have smashed the reg ular course record, perhaps even beating 28 minutes, if given the chance.

The crowd, the color, the cheers and excitement will WRIGHTING Between The Lions •By FRED W. WRIGHT J A lot of things developed in the' Lehigh game—things that fans who have been watching recent Nittany Lions grid teams would have been astonished to see. To start with the beginning, Le high just wasn't the improved team that it is supposed to be under a new coach and a new system. They’re still just about where Penn State was when Bezdek said, ‘From now on there will be no scholar ships.’ True, they have improved somewhat over last year, but they had the weakest line that the Li ons have been faced with or will have to face until next season. The victory, then, was not much to brag about when one considers the calibre of the opponent. But here’s the thing that was astonishing—to these eyes at least The Lions have learned to tackle and tackle hard. The Engineer backfield has yet to get through the Lion line. They got around the line on two occasions and over it once, but they never got through it. Head Coach Bob Higgins has developed one of the.strongest lines from tackle to tackle since he has been at the helm. And with a line strong enough to stop anything the opposition has to offer, and open holes for backs on the offensive, a lot of things can happen. We started to talk about aston ishing things. To continue, for the first time in years the team as a unit tackled low, hard, and vici ously. Four times during the game play was stopped to carry out some Lehigh player who had felt the weight of two smashing tackles by Lion defenders. The Lions didn't wait, with one ear cocked for the referee’s whistle. They just drove in and, as a result, Lehigh backs often found themselves downed by three Lions at once. Another thing: Lehigh. looked good_ for just three plays. After, "that”!t '’was all' Penn' StaW 'The newspaper stories .coming out of Lehigh Saturday afternoon said that Penn State sent in their third and fourth string teams late in the game and the rampage continued. As. a matter of fact, Higgins sent in replacements at the end of the first quarter and the rampage con tinued. The second team finished the first half and began where the starters had left off. By the sec ond half, the third and fourth teams were in there, and looking mighty impressive. A back was able to score once in every period, no matter what the personnel of the rest of the team. The dream is beginning to come true. There is no doubt that Penn State has the material; there is no doubt that Penn State has the coaching, for fundamentals; there is no doubt that the Nittany Lions are roaring again. Columbia must be faced and beaten as the supreme test, but the team this season will have the added benefit of confidence and ex perience gained on a foreign field. Practically the entire team played last year before a New York audi ence and they should know by now that a football crowd is just a foot ball crowd, in State College or New York.

Sigel added five yards. Silvano got away for eighteen yards on a fake reverse, going to the 8-yard line. Sigej again took the ball- on a run wide around right end to score. Mikelonis’ place ment went wide. About this time Coach -Bob Higgins began to substitute freely, running in the second and third teams for the rest of the game. The reserves showed remarkable strength, holding the Engineers in check and even scor ing two touchdowns. Several plays after the beginning of the second half Bob Weber again pounced on a Lehigh fumble, this time on the 10-yard line. Knapp made six yards through right tackle. Sigel add ed three yards through the same place. Silvano tried left tackle for no gain. Sigel vent through the right side of the line for a touch down. Mikelonis’ kick again went wide. Maurer Scores on Pass The way for the last touchdown was paved by Cromwell who recov ered Wolcott’s blocked, punt on the Lehigh 33-yard line. Kornick gained four yards. A pass from Kornick to Fry netted six yards. Cooper made two yards and a first down. Cooper made another first down in two at tempts. He added another yard be fore Kornick tossed another pass, this time to Maurer, who had gone wide out around left end. Maurer ran the several remaining yards to the wide stripe unmolested. Cooper’s place kick was good. Penn State scored eleven first downs to five for Lehigh. The Lions attempted nine passes and completed four, while the Engineers tried ten and completed only two.

All the set-ups progressed to a crucial stage and then a cog slipped somewhere, the hall going again to; midfield. The second period was a repeti tion of the first, with Ray Bell being called on only occasionally to repluse the desultory attack of the Owl for-: ward line, which contended itself with a kick and run policy, evidently fear ing to make a sustained drive. Temple’s goalie, Geuther, came to the fore in the third period, saving his team from being scored on only by a succession of swift plays at the goal, although he seemed to be some what psychic in guessing where the ball was going next. Captain Mullans and Zoerner were knocked out in a head-on collision in this quarter, Mul lans being forced out of the game. The last chukker provided the thrills of the match, with the Lions working furiously to‘keep from being shut out, and the Owl defense clust ered in their end of the short field with high hopes of holding the game to a scoreless tie. McEwan, pushed in - the face in goal-line melee, essayed the penalty kick, but it, went directly to the goalie, who tossed it out. ’ With five minutes to play in a* wild scramble within the goal area, Masters took the ball on a pass, from Bielieki, and caromed it off Zoerner’s chest into the right corner of the net for the win ning point. • Had the Lions been prepared for Temple’s , unusual defensive attitude, the score would have been much more in State’s favor. And had the other Jeffrey-coached forwards realized that McEwan was being bottled up so securely and had they tried a few shots themselves, thus forcing the Temple defense to spread out more, the margin might have .been more. The backfield proved the consistent group, feeding the ball continuously to the line, although the halfbacks hung back at times when they could have gone in to shoot at the goal and give the 'Owls a little'more to worry about. Bill Sutliff was especially ac tive for the Lions. The world’s finest tobaccos are used in Luckies —the “Cream of the Crop”—only the clean cen ter leaves —for the clean center leaves are the mildest leaves —they cost more —they taste better. OVER 1,000 STUDENTS GREET TEAM’S RETURN The Lion roared again. Bui the roar Sunday afternoon was more gleeful than ferocious. Nittany Lion gridders were non plussed, stage-struck, and secretly pleased when they found over 1,000 over-joyed student fans awaiting them on their return from their con quest of Lehigh. Although the re ception was rather haphazardly ex ecuted, the players were genuinely! impressed and the spectators thrilled.
