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!

Help in Analysis of Human Stuttering
' “Did you ever see a right handed
• rat eating toast and cheese with his
left hand? 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

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

error nature and the rat would reach
half the time with her right hand
and the other half with her left hand,”
the speech instructor replied. “In
stead of this, about 80 or 90 percent
of the animals make almost every
movement with the hand with which
they -begin eating.” Ten percent are
partially ambidextrous,' and about
two percent completely ambidextrous.
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

Eleven Hands Lions First Home Defeat, 16-to-0
WRIGHTING BETWEEN THE LIONS
• Keeping the statistics .end of a
football game is generally not very
interesting; you don't have any
time to get enthusiastic about
twenty-yard runs or forty-yard
passes for touchdowns; you're too
busy making on the average of
three entries for every play and
cursing when two sheets of paper
stick together. 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.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
•Dy FRED W. 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.
At random: There were fifty
seven persons in the working press
section of the box, who consumed
ten gallons of coffee without sugar.
Of the fifty-seven mentioned,- four
were women, who watched the ganie

Lion Freshmen Score in Every
Quarter As They Win
Third Straight
Bv HARRY HENDERSON
Wading through a weak Bison line
to score in every period, the Lion
freshmen football team swamped the
Bucknell freshmen gridders Satur
day, 31-to-G.
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. The summary:

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. Contributions
Go Over $4,000 Mark
With the faculty report only two
thirds complete, leaders in the Chris
tian Association finance canvass to
day reported total contributions of
$•1,022, or twenty-two dollars over
the goal of $4,000. The faculty goal
of $l,OOO is sure to be reached by
this week-end, according to the offi
cials.
Men students contributed $2,485,
which was 103 per cent of their goal.
The women students went even fur
ther over their goal, reporting $707,
or 118 per cent of their goal- of $6OO.

Beta Theta Pi Beaten
By S.A.E. For 2nd Time
Sigma Alpha Epsilon shut out the
Beta Theta Pi griddcrs for the sec
ond time Friday, by a score of G-to
-0. The first game between the two,
last week, ended in a victory for Sig
nia Alpha Epsilon, but was protested
and replayed Friday.
The only score of the game was
made in the fourth quarter when the
S.A.E. team completed a twenty-six
yard pass from Fetter to Weimer.
Aided by some brilliant blocking, Wei
mer ran the remaining fifteen yards
to score. The Betas were unable to
score a single first down during the
fray.
