Penn's Line Attack Shreds Forward Wall By PHIL HEISLER Met at every turn with a powerful Penn surprise attack, the Nittany Lion grid team suffered its most-hu miliating defeat of the season when the Quaker's clicked for the first time thiS year: to sink the Lions, 3S-to-6. .-More than .40,000 spectators watch ed the Blue and "Red warriors crum ple. what was considered State's im .pregnable line, which yielded only once for , a touchdown previously in the season. The Quakers had a defense for ev ery State attack and found a loop hole in every Lion defense. After the Lions tossed thirty passes 'in the Villanova game, not only did the fans expect to see a repetation of those tactics on Saturday, but Penn also - expected it and concentrated on a defense against aerials. Their, ef forts were apparently successful. - A roar of approval in anticipation would go up from the State cheering section as O'Hora or Wear would drop back to throw a pass but in the same breath the cheer would invari ably dwindle to a groan as a Quaker would break up •the play or, morel commonly, intercept the toss, giving Penn possession of the ball. Before the spectators had gotten fully settled after the starting whistle was blown, the score-board men were already putting a seven after Penn. In six straight line bucks Bill Kur lish and Lew 'Elverson brought' the' :ball from their 0 - ye' 38 to State'S 33. ,pn. the-. riext ~ :play :Elverson. plunged ..olT:ta.kklui 6 4 , -TA.u4 ,1 44.4,W.Y.4.4 fo Murray kicked the "extra ,State's only score'caine,in the sec . - ond quarter; the - result .of a .forward pass.

Silvano, who was sub stituted: for Cooper, gained another first down. The march culminated in ' a forward pass from O'Hora to Ko mink: who scored the touchdown. Sil vano failed to kick the extra point. Penn scored another touchdown in k the third quarter when Kurlish scored after another attack on the State line However, the fireworks were not re leased until the last quarter, when they scored three goals. Franny Murray sliced over for one count, Joe McCracken, a sub hack, dove over center for another goal, and Murray's pass to Schunemann on the 2-yard ,line brought the other score. Penn's second team stopped two State'rushes in the lust five min utes of play. It has -been said that all the Penn plays went through where Schuyler should have been,•but where he was n't because of his injury. However, the Quakers can hardly - be classified as playing favorites. They went through anywhere the line happened to be. taptain Bob Weber thiecceded time miil again in getting, into the Penn backfield, but only to find thittthe Quaker with the ball was over in State territory. Johnny Economos again gained the 'laurels as the best defensive player in the game. He made more tackles than anyone in the Tray. C..C. C.

Cold Weather Forces Freshman To Abandon Hermit Life in Tent Compared to his wall tent with its kerosene lump, and sturdy army cot, John Clendenin doesn't think much of the new room he's just moved into. Last week the snow and colder weather became too much for Glen denini -Who had made his camp at Woodsdale, south of town: So he peeked up ' his tent and moved into town and ivarrilor .quarters. "It's not so bad here," Clendenin, who is a freshman from Altoona, ex'-, pluined, 'new residence. "But I liked - my: tent out in Woodsdale better. I wasn't so cooped up." .Since the'beginning of the semester Clendenin lived by himself in his small tent. 'He did all his own cook ing on a .small wood stove. He also did his own housekeeping. He dusted, swept the floor, and made the bed. "Burning the midnight oil" was a common :occurrence with this fresh , man. When he finished "up with the supper dishes and it began to grow dark he'd light up his kerosene lamp. Then he'd get out the books and pre pare for a night of study.

Richards Makes Freshman Survey Finds Grades During Ist Term Indicative of Marks Made Here Later. 1 The work done by a freshman here and the marks that he makes his first term arc an excellent index of his scholarship during the rest of the time he spends in college, according to the findings of a recent study con ducted by John R. Richards, assist ant to, Dean Charles W. Stoddart, of the School of Liberal Arts. "A given student's record remains remarkably consistent throughout his ,course," Richards said. "The assump tion that the first semester away from home is. hardly indicative of a stu dent's ultimate • accomplishments be cause of new surroundings .and strange conditions of work is appar ently without foundation." The study revealed.. that a fresh- . allrivhojust-gets , pasMngogrides-in , his first term in college .has only one chance in thirty-one of being grade ' ated in the top half of his class, while the chances or students who make better averages are .progres sively better until that of the student who averages in the highest brackets is twenty to one. A relation between the work done in high school and in college was also i found by . Mr. Richards. That the average grade of freshmen here va ries directly with their high school standings has been found by 'Regis trar' William S. Hoffman. For the class which entered here in 1933, the preSent juniors, the median freshman grades dropped successively 'with the lower rankings in high school.
