Tuesday, November 6,1934- Powerful Syracuse Bone-Crushing Orange Line Holds Higginsmen Powerless Albanese, Ginter Tally; Vavra Blocks Pant for Safety for Largest Score of Series By BONN “And against the rapier come the bludgeon of Syracuse. A big, raw boned team, who arc fighters all the way back. No tricks for them, but straight bone-crushing, earth-shaking football with seven linemen charging as one to ride the opposing line before tliem’and let the ball carrier through. They like to feel the steady drive of legs as the line rises to' throw back tho runner and they like to smash thru a tackle with all the force and might of a battering ram.” ’ Drew Middleton was right; The Syracuse line was too powerful for the Lion eleven. Opening up holes inJ the State forward wall almost at will and holding the Nittany ''backs while on the defense, the Orange handed the Lions their first home defeat of the season, 10-to-0, before more than 30,000 fans on New Beaver field Saturday afternoon. ‘ Never before in the scries had either team won by more than toil points. Tho Lions went down, but they went'down fighting. Coming within scoring distance as often as the Orange, they lacked the punch neces sary to push the ball across. Harry Sigel was the chief ground gainer. Syracuse’s first touchdown came in’ the first quarter after a sustained march from their own 20-yard line!

Robert L. Milisen, of the division of public speaking and di rector of the Penn State Speech Clin ic, has devised a means of causing this phenomenon to occur as a part of his experiments on rat handedness in connection with analysis of human handedness and its relationship to stuttering. “The body and brain of a rat are similar in many respects to those of humans,” the youthful speech patho logist said. “The hands are parti cularly like human ones and although rats have no specialized articulatory apparatus, much important data re lated to stuttering can be learned from psychological experiments on rats.” Milisen has at present a stable of GO rats corralled in the basement of the Education building, which he will use as subjects for experimentation with the assistance of Robert E. Lartz, junior pre-medical student. Probably the most perspicacious of tho animals is a large white furry rodent with pink eyes, tail and hands, named “Pauline.” Pauline inhabits a choice and roomy cage upon which someone has inscribed . “The Rats Carleton.” Her handedness was tested by pre senting to her a bottle containing food into which she could not reach with her mouth. Pauline reached into the bottle with her left hand, indicating that she is a southpaw, and that the right side of her brain is the domi nant one. “But how do you know that she reached into the bottle with tho hand .that is dominant,” Mr. Milisen was asked. “If some factor were not controlling the handedness preference of the rat, tho result would be of a trial and CATERERS Serve Fresh Breakfast Rolls Every Morning jTen Varieties to Choose From 1 —— THE ELECTRIC BAKERY Phone 603 SANDERS The Lions had carried the ball to the Orange 3-yard line where the visitors took the bail on downs. Stark punted to his own 33-yard line. A Penn State fumble gave the Orange the ball. ’ Five successive first downs put the ball on the State 11-yard stripe. Stark was the chief Orange threat during this march. He then made six yards on a run wide around left end, going through center for three more yards. Albanese went over for the touchdown. Vavra’s kick for the extra point was good. Syracuse scored again early in the third quarter after another • march for the length of the field. State’s kick-off after half-time was return ed to the Syracuse 25-yard line. The Orange made five first downs without losing the ball, with Ginter account ing'for most’of the yardage on straight line plays.-. He scored, and Vavra’s placement was again good. Later in the same period “ Ginter was stopped about three inches from the line and State took the ball on downs. Vavra came through to block Mikclonis’ punt. The Lion quarter fell on tho ball for a safety. It was the first safety scored on a State team since the 1929 season when Syracuse tallied two but lost to the Lions in Archbold stadium, G-to a 1 is urged to take advantage of this opportunity. After a week of practice, the jun ior and senior hockey teams are still the outstanding contenders for the interclass title. Both teams have un beaten records.

If the handedness preference depends upon accidental -performance, about, 100 percent of the animals would’be ambidextrous. After her handedness is determined Pauline was again starved and allow ed to squeeze her body through a wire passageway having a hole on .the bottom in which there was food un der tho passageway. “The left handed rat was forced to scoop up her food and exercise her right hand or else go hungry, and after doing this thousands of times, she will probably form a habit of us ing her non-dominaht hand to eat,” Milisen explained. “Compared with the average popu lation, there should be approximately 50 stutterers at Penn State/* the speech correction director said, “but according to our records there are only 16 stutterers in the entire Col lege.” - ‘ The speech clinic now has 16 stu tcrers and 80 articulatory cases with additional students being enrolled. In the newly remodeled basement of the English composition building, Milisen and his assistants have established of fices for the clinic. Clinicians assisting in the group classes which meet twice each week are: Ethel Stanley ’35, Robert E. Lartz ’36, and Raymond Davis *35, pre-medical students, and Benjamin S.

And when three men handle the ball, toss a lateral to a fourth, and he throws a for ward—well,.it's a good thing the game is played in quarters. For those who are so minded, the game Saturday'was a statistician’s holiday. For instance, there were only' ten punts during the game (the average two weeks ago in outstanding games in the East was twenty); Syracuse punted only four times (the lowest was five two weeks ago, Yale). There were six punts in the first half, and not a single one was run back a yard. Every kick but one either went out of bounds or was caught on the bounce and downed by the kicking team. Iri the second half Syracuse ran back one punt five yards and an other ten, but that was all. Penn State never had a chance to ruii back a punt during the entire game, and that is the reason for that ap palling zero' appearing in the sta tistical charts of the game. Fcnn State' did however outdistance Syra cuse ' in the' ' punting department.

WRIGHT The Lions averaged forty-two yards and had one punt Had it not been for this flat zeroi, Mikelonis would have averaged fif ty yards. The Orange punters were far to the rear with only a thirty one yard average. In the forward passing game, both teams were successful • five times, Syracuse entirely in the first half. The Lions gained 103 yards, Syracuse but forty-two. The score was all Syracuse, 36- 0, but the Nitlanymen were on the verge of scoring the same number of times as the victors—four each. Both' teams ' were forced to punt from the extreme boundary of the end zone, so close to the goal- line had the drive been stopped. Syracuse made five first downs in a row on fourteen plays the time they marched down the field in the third quarter. For the second half, Penn State had five yards gained from scrimmage, all on one play in the third quarter.

Kominick, flashy Lion fullback, grabbed off three of State’s touch-, downs with Bolig and Sheridan mak- 1 ing the other two. Pfeiffer, coming i in at quarterback for Androski, scor ed the only tally that the Bisons got during the game. Bucknell kicked off to the Blue and White plebes who then started a steady march down the field and with in a few minutes had a touchdown for their side of the score sheet. And from then on it was State’s ball game, j Wear, who seems to be over his streak of loose handling of the ball which was so obvious in the Dickinson Seminary game, replaced Sheridan at quarterback for State, and played l some real “heads up” ball all the time that he was in there.

Harriers Win Both Syracuse Meets in Championship Drive Although the predominant color on' Beaver field Saturday afternoon was blue, imaginative eyes saw orange juice on the black of the track as Lion varsity and freshman thinly clads crushed the Orange under 20- | to-35 and 2G-to-33 scoras, respective ly, in their championship drive. However, ‘2’ and ‘l’ averages in the last lest of the year are not so good when the final examination, in the 'form of the IC-1A (Intercol legiate Amateur Athletic Association of America) meet, is only two weeks away. Downey, fourth place man, is still bothered with shin splints and will not practice at all this week. It is a toss-up as to whether he will be able to run the Van Cortland Park race. The remainder of both teams will engage in intensive workouts during the week in preparation for the tough six-mile course in New York. In the varsity race Harvey, the re cords say, finished half a second ahead of Book in a first-place tie; the vet eran Alexander ran a beautiful race to finish fourth; Detwiler finished with a strong sprint—too strong— to finish fifth, instead of third wheie he belonged; and Crum ended the scoring in eighth position. The yearlings ran against better! PiS.C.A.
