Lion Squad Lays CL
JEFFREYMEN WIN
3 LEAGUE MEETS
Undergraduate Managers of Loop Will Meet in
January To Select Champions From
16 Schools in Association
By WALT
Although the approach may have
been somewhat devious, there is no
doubt that the Lion soccer squad is
iirmly in the saddle as Eastern In
tercollegiate Soccer Association
champion, at least if our claims are
fairly recognized by the undergradu
ate managers of the loop, who will
meet in January, to select the cham
pion from the sixteen teams in the
Association.
Stale’s ascension to the saddle
came about Turkey morning, when
Cornell was tied by Haverford, 1-to
1, on the Main Liners’ field. Cornell,
with four victories and two ties, has
earned a total of ten to twelve pos
sible points, on the Association basis
of two points for victory and one
for a tie.
Lions Rate .875 Per Cent '
The JefFreyrimn, on the other hand,
won three league lilts and tied one,
for a record of seven out of eight
points. Thus their percentage is .875,
as opposed to the figure of .833 for
Cornell. On this basis, and in fact,
any basis, the Lions are deserving
of any honor that may come their

way, as the outstanding team of the
East.
“State lias much the better team,”
Coach Bill Jeffrey said, after watch
ing the Havcrford-Cornell fray. Cor
nell, undisputed leader of the six
team Middle Atlantic soccer circuit,
was awarded “the championship” by
some vague radio commentator over
the week-end, but this isn’t to be con
fused with the Eastern title, held by
the Lions.
Sentiment in favor of a much more
difficult slate for next year is being
marshalled on the campus, we find,
especially after the anti-clinmtic
farce —it can't be called a contest—
in which Dickinson lost 10-to-l, and
even then the Lions were pulling their
punches.
A card which includes six league
contests instead of the minimum four
shouldn’t be too hard to arrange, and
it would go far to provide the Lions
with more substantial fare in the
way of opponents, as well- as assur
ing that our claims to the champion
ship would be more respectfully re
ceived.

FOR STRONG FOES
Season’s First Regular
Scrimmage Run Off
Last Saturday
By CHARLIE SCHWARTZ
Facing a slate that will be one of
1 the toughest to wipe clean among
, those in recent years a seventeen
game assignment that charts twelve
home engagements—Coach Spike Les
lie is hard at work attempting to
whip a varsity basketball quintet in
shape fov , their opening /encounter
•against Ithaca College, less than two
weeks away.
In their first regular scrimmage
this year, the Lion varsity courtmen
Saturday afternoon handed a severe
lacing to the second and third fives
in successive twenty-minute periods.
The game—which, incidentally, end
ed 44-to-B—showed up several men
who will bear watching this season.
Jim Hunter, lanky center, showed
up well in the scrimmage, topping the
varsity for scoring honors. Hunter,
who was a member of last year’s
freshman team, basketed five field
goals from under the basket, and two
foul shots. Jack Fletcher, at for
ward, looked good on the long shots,
dropping in five goals.
Captain Johnny Stocker, the other
forward, although low in the point
scoring, was the main leader of the
massacre. lie’ was responsible for
starting most of the scoring plays.
Jimmy Smith, at guard, turned in
the best all-around performance of
the afternoon. Playing smoothly, he
consistently broke clean to feed the
ball to Hunter and Fletcher. Bar
Riley, the other guard, couldn’t seem
to get going.
Late in the second half, the second
string replaced the varsity. Jack
Heyison and Bruce Gilliard, at for
wards, Jay McWilliams and Charlie
Glennon, at guai*ds, and Van Linton,
at center, took the court against
Butch Schmidt, Harry Jaquiss, Bob
Small, Fred Sell, and Bill RadclifFe.
Ileyison, McWilliams, and jSchmidt
showed up best in this aggregation.

We know that smoking a pipe
is different from smoking a cigar or
cigarette . . . and in trying to find
the tobacco best stated for pipes ...
We found out that the best tobacco
for use in a pipe grows down in the
Blue Grass Section of Kentucky, and it
is called White Burley.
There is a certain kind of this tobacco
that is between the tobacco used for ciga
rettes and the kind that is used for chew-
ing tobacco.
This is the kind of tobacco that we use,
year after year, for Granger Rough Cut.
We got the right pipe tobacco, made
it by die right process . . . Wellman’s

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
WRIGHTING BET
A K>'C4t many persons on this
campus may have been surprised
when they read the A. P. all-Amcr
iean selections anti saw that ‘Shorty’
Mikclonis, Lion quarterback, re
ceived honorable mention as a half
back while other Lion backs, chief
ly Harry Sigel, were apparently ne
glected. Personally, this writer was
not among those that were at vari
ance with the gentlemen who made
the selections.
Mikclonis gained his mention in
one game—the Columbia 1-1-7 bat
tle. All-Americans and stars are
made principally in New York City,
and Mikclonis had the good fortune
of putting up one of his best exhi
bitions of quarterbacking in the
right spot. True, he was sour in
the Penn game, but All-Americans
are not made in Philadelphia (wit
ness the Dave Smukler, ,Temple, ef
fort).
Sigel was the outstanding back
from the spectator’s point of view.
On at least two occasions, if me
mory serves us correctly, he ran
back kick-offs close to fifty yards.
On other occasions, he galloped
around ends for twenty and thirty
yards. But what the spectators
didn’t sec, perhaps, was a guy by
the name of Morrison blocking and
another guy by the name of Mikc
lonis blocking. When a coach can
design plays so that only one man
is necessary to block an opponent,
say an end, instead of the usual
two players, lie has an extra man
left over to use somewhere else to
advantage.
Sigel is a good football player, a
swell fellow personally, a fighter,
and a player with brains, but he
showed only speed and guts, plenty
of both, on the football field. Mikc
lonis. had lie given himself a chance,
might have been a great broken

EEN THE LIONS
By FRED W. WRIGHT-
field runner —Knapp is the best on
the team—to add to his kicking and
passing laurels.
But why get excited over an All-
American selection, no matter
whose? It's impossible to grade
some twenty-five thousand football
players and settle on the eleven
best. And we have a hunch that
from a business standpoint it’s an
excellent thing to have one player
from as many teams as possible
mentioned somewhere.
For that matter, the man most
deserving of ‘all* honors on the 1931
Penn State team was overlooked,
and wc think most persons will
agree witli our contention, Lou
Kreizman.
After our outburst against Navy’s
.employment of Dave Sloan, ex-
Lion letter-earner, we find that Ar
my's second-string fullback is none
other than Bill Martz, who once
wore the Blue and the White. All
of which reminds us of the ‘Ven
erable* Venorosa. who was captain
of the 1932 Temple (We don’t give
scholarship.) team after playing
quite some football here.
On Page 2 appears a letter that
every student interested in Penn
State athletics should read. Also
on Page 2 is an editorial that every
student interested in Penn State
athletics should read. The latter
expresses this column’s sentiments
very nicely, and there is no need to
reproduce the same ideas twice in
the same paper.
Incidentally, we were talking to
My Cousin Hugo last week and the
conversation went something like
this:
“Point blank, is the College giv
ing any athletic scholarships to
football players this year?”
“No. Not one cent of College
money is paid to any person to play
football for Penn State.”
“Then how do you account for
Frank Souchak, who played with
the Pitt frosh against State, saying
that he was offered more money to
come to Stale than to go to Pitts
burgh?”
“Any person who makes such a
statement is a liar.”
“Do you contemplate changing
any tires on the machine to make
it run.?”
> “No. The machine is running
along nicely. .Rumors-to the con
trary arc erroneous.”
