Soccermen Risk Perfect
Record Against Middies
Tomorrow at Annapolis
6 Seniors, Playing Last Game for State, Will
Strive To Establish 3 Year. Perfect
Record of. No Defeats.
By TOWNSEND SWAL3I
When the Nittany hooters trot out on Lawrence field to meet the Navy
soccer team for the last game of the : season at 11 o'clock, they will •be as
determined a team as ever took the field under the name of. Penn State.
The score won't be high, maybe two goals. The boys have too much at stake
totake any chances, and after that first goal is scored it's going to straight
defense 'play from then on.
Six of the starting eleven will be seniors - playing their last game for
State. Six men who in all their three years of varsity soccer have never
allowed a single defeat to besmirch.
the name of Penn State. Does Navy
have a chance tomorrow? No!
Besides the seniors, there are five
other men who will all be fighting to
'preserve this season's perfect record.
And will Ray Bell let a Navy kick
cross - our virgin goal line? Over his
dead body! State is unscored on and
will finish the season that way.

Navy Has Good. Record
Since 1922, State has been meeting
Navy in soccer, during.which time ten
games have been played, with the Nit=
tanymen claiming eight victories to
two for -the Middies. The last time
the Annapolis boys defeated State was
in 1927, when they won, 3-to-1, on
their home field.
This year the Midshipmen have . a
good record, having suffered only one
defeat, at the hands of Yale, which
team is undefeated to date, and should
they finish their season with that.rec 7
'ord, they will be the principal 'con
tender, with State, for 'the Intercol
iekiate Soccer Football Association
Last week, however, Navy was forced
to a 2-to-2 tic by Gettysburg, a team
the State hooters defeated, 4-to-0, in
the first game ofrthe season.
Other games which the Navy hoot
ers have played include victories over
Lehigh, 4-to-0; Haverford, 2-to-1, and
•Lafayette, 1-to-0. Nine of the eleven
members of the Annapolis team are
lettermen of last year and should be
in fine form for tomorrow's encounter.

squad will journey tmAtmapolis today,

is left of the Corner . Robm, at S o'-
clock. In addition to the regulars
listed below, Coach Jeffrey will take
Palmer, goalie; Horde, fullback; Man
dell and Wendel, halfbacks; and Tay
lor and Welsh, linesmen.
Review,ing the scoring situation,
two Lions stand Out: Bill MeEwan,
who set an. all-time high sioring mark
I with twenty goals scored :last year,
has five to his credit so far this sea
son; and Carl Wacker, sophomore
outside forward, who also has five to
his credit. In considering the con
siderable drop in Bill .McEwan's scores
this season as,compared with last, one
should consider both his leg, which
was operated on this past summer,
and the fact that he did not start to
play till the second game of the year.
Judging from what we have man
aged to pick up, the men who are li
able to cause the most trouble for the
Lions tomorrow are Midshipmen TeeL l
Hall, and Simmer, the last mentioned
being the ace fullback and long kicker
of the Navy aggregation.

our esteemed sports editor, W. Ber

is believed to be lost in a Urbana,

Once again it is time to remind all
those interested that "Penn State has
never played a poor game on Frank
lin Field," or, to use Bob Higgins'
phrase,'"The score might be anything
in a Penn State-Penn game."
Regardless of the outcome of the
fray tomorrow, anyone wanting to see
real football played need cast their
eyes no farther than the State line.
Nittany Lion and Nittany line have
become synonymous to a large degree
to most observers. Backs may make
spectacidar runs, pile up touchdowns.
punt the ball eighty yards, but Joe
Bedenk's linesmen will not be the
"forgotten men."
Beat Penn!
Many are of the opinion that all
freshmen who go out for the yearling
grid team should be given a chance
for at least dfew minutes of play in
actual, competition. "Whether or not
the freshman team wins or loses is
relatively unimportant, at any event,"
Says the Rambler in the Centre Deily
Times.
We are of the opinion that as many
freshmen as possible should be given
a chance and this is why the Senate
Committee on Athletics has ruled that
each man may make only two trips a
season. But we have seen that the
theory doesn't work with a schedule
such as the Cubs have been forced to
play this year.
Coach Silalke rebels at the thought
of putting some of his more inexperi
enced yearlings up against teams like
Pitt o• Navy. It would be suicide,
since many of these inen have had no
previOus football experience whatso
ever. The lives of these players would
be jeopardized, not the team's record.
Beat Penn!
When the Nittany hooter's engage
Navy tomorrow in the last contest of
the season, eight seniors will be play
ing their last game for Penn State.
That in itself is not unusual—many
seniors in the past have played their
last game for old State—and we haz-

The best that Coach Nels Welke has
to offer will face the undefeated Navy
Plebes when the Lion Cub eleven
meets its most formidable opponent
in the last game of the season at An
napolis tomorrow morning.
A freshman squad of thirty men
left here at 7:30 o'clock this morning
for Annapolis. The game •is sched
uled for 11 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing in order nob' to conflict with the
varsity game with Columbia in the
afternoon.
The outcome of the Navy, game will
do much to determine the success of
the Nittany yearlings' season. Hav
ing tied Mercersburg Academy and
Wyoming Seminary and lostto Pitts

really only claim a single victory so
far, that over Scranton-Keystone

Plebes will be a genuine conquest.
Plebes Beat Kiski
The Plebes have rolled up a total
of 189 points against 22 for their op

Masanutten Academy and Kiski Prep:
Kiski met defeat at Annapolis last

The probable Navy lineup, will be

Eight senior regulars, Ray Bell,

INTRAMURAL
HIGHLIGHTS
Hy DICK LEWIS
The winnah: Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon won, 7-to-3,
over Beta Sigma Rho :Monday night
for the intramural football champion
ship. Trailing the hitherto invincible
Beta Sig team by three points, stored
when Reichenbach, Beta Sig, kicked a
field goal late in the second quarter,
the SAE's came back in the third
quarter to advance the ball from their
own :30-yard line to the Beta Sig 20_
yard line on a sideline run. After
two line bucks, Fetter flashed a pass
to Kennedy, who carried the ball over
the goal. Kennedy drop-kicked the
ball between the sticks• for the extra
point, the first time a drop-kick has
succeeded in the series.
S. A. E. showed undoubted super
iority in line strength. The Beta Sigs,
relying on flash plays and capitaliz
ing on the mistakes of their opponents
in the past, found they had met their
match, when play after play failed
to get through for appreciable yard
age. Finding themselves up against
the toughest proposition they had met
to date, the Beta Sigs became disor
ganized as the S. A. E. defense rolled
back each play. The Beta Sigs fought
hard in the last quarter, and were
threatening to score when the game I
ended.
And that's the tourney.
Bouquets are in order for Bill
Smith '37, who so capably and effi
ciently lined up these fifty-two teams,
and rim off the series in less than a
month. Appreciation is due to the
gentlemen who risked time and limb
refereeing these games, namely Fran
kie Goodman '37, Howard Parsons
'3B, Bob Steckel '3B, and Tom Watts
'3S.
Bill Smith has picked an all-intra
mural team on the basis of offense
and defense playing, which has been
made official by the referees and Gene
Bischoff.
The boys:
L. E. Foley, of Phi Kappa Tau, for
gathering in passes and fine defense
work.
L. G. Fischer, of Sigma Phi Epsilon,
for efficient blocking.
L. G. Allison, of S. A. E., for .offense
work, his specialty being to break
into opponents' backfields.
G. Pruitt, Chi Phi, another backfield
crasher, who also passed with pre-
vision.
R. G. Klipstein, of Beta Sigma Rho,
for blocking.
R. T. Leidy, of Pi Kappa Alpha, for
blocking, and devastating offense
work.
R. E. Love, of Sigma Phi Epsilon, for
receiving the team's successful pass-
es and putting up the best all
around defense game in.the series.
Q. B. Lappen, of Beta Sigma Rho,
whose running, kicking, accurate
passing. made him head triple threat
•
man of the series.
ft. }I.-Neilson, of Sigma Alpha Epsi
lon, another triple threat man, who
outguessed the opposition on numer-
ous occasions.
L. H. Jackson, of Chi Phi, for accur
ate 'passing and elusive running.
F. Flenniken, of Kappa Sigma,' for
shifty running, and a goodly per
centage of accurate passes.

Olexy, Book, Trimble Break
All-time X-Country Record
Of Local Course in Trials
Two Run Five Miles in 26:50 To Best Harvey's
Mark of 27:25 as Harriers Get Into Trim
For Annual I. C. 4A Meet.
Paced by Captain Book and Pete Olexy, three runners broke the all
time cross-country record for the local course in time trials Wednesday to
determine the make-up of the squad leaving today far the annual I. C. -IA
cross-country meet to be held in Van Cortlandt Park, New York City, Monday
afternoon.
George Harvey set the former record of 27:28 for the 5-mile course. This
year the course k about 120 yards longer, yet Oleay and Book finished in
27:00. Their time at the end of the 5 miles was 26:50, breaking the old rec.
record by 35-seconds. Bill Trimble;
with a time of 27:11 for the longer
distance, also broke the old record,
So, if time. trials are any indication
of a cross-country team's ability; or
iE records in dual competition mean
anything, then State's runners have
excellent chances of finishing any
where among the first three teams on
Monday.
If, on the other hand, past perform
ances of State runners at the Inter
collegiates mean anything, the local
squad is likely to return with nothing
more to show for their trip , than some
ticket stubs from Minsky's. This is
the third year that Coach Werner has
taken a good team to New York; it
is the second year that he has taken
an undefeated team. In the past two
years we have finished tenth and
eighth. This squad is strong enough
to be a serious threat for first place..
Whether it will live up to its poten
tialities is another question.
In- addition to State, the leading
contenders among the twenty-four col-I
ieges which will be sending entries
are Michigan State, winner of the
team title for the past two years, and
Manhattan, last year's second place
team. Tom Ottey, the individual win
ner last year, of Michigan State, is
out of competition, but his teammate,
Gardner, who finished third last year,
will be running again. Veysey, of
Colby, who took second place last fall.
is also entered.
Pete Olexy, who has been undefeat
ed for State in four meets this year.
will undoubtedly give these men plen
ty of competition. Olexy finished
third in tge 3-mile freshman run last
year, S seconds behind the winner.
At the longer 5-mile distance be will
be harder to beat. Other leading con
tenders will be Murphy, of Manhat
tan, New York City champion; Gene
Venzke, of Penn, famous miler; Wil
lianison, of Lafayette; and Sharp, of
Columbia.

ney, with a time of 27:45, and Joe
Surmatsi, in 27:59, turned in their
best times of the season. This show
ing is all the more remarkable in light
of the cold weather and muddy course
Wednesday. Barry Wear and Don
Daugherty finished sixth and seventh,
to complete the squad which will make
the trip.
Another hopeful sign in Wednes
day's trials was the fact that the first
five men finished within 53 seconds of
each other. A well-balanced team,
with five men who can finish up among
the leaders, has a much better chance
of bagging a title than one with a few
individual stars and nothing else.
Eight freshmen will also leave to
day for a dual meet with the Navy
Plebes at Annapolis tomorrow, to be
followed by the Intercollegiates Mon
day. This year's freshman team is
not an especially strong outfit, but
they are well balanced and may do
better than anyone expects.
The freshmen who will make the
trip are Len Henderson, who has led
the team in every meet, Herb Hazard,
Burt Aikman, Bill Griest. Bill Joa
chim, Larson, and Sehieman. They
finished in that order in trials Wed
