Coach Bob Higgins predicted an im proved season for the Nittany Lion football team next year and the fol lowing year, after his squad, made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores,- romped over Lock Haven in a prac tice game Saturday. ' The Lion mentor hosed his predic tion upon the performances of the newcomers to , varsity: competition, in addition to the show put on by a transfer student . and reliable veter ans. Reserves from the 1935 aggre gation showed, considerable improve meat also. Several linemen played good defen sively and On the offense. Two guards, Tor Toretti, freshman center converted by Higgins to tht new post, and Tony Sacco, another first-yea• man' excelled. Captain Chuck Cher undolo played his usual strong game at center. At the 'tackle positions Dan DeMarino, sophomore, and Dean Hanley,. freshman, were outstanding. At the beginning of the spring practice, Coach, Higgins was doubtful as to the strength of the end positions for next year. Howeimr, the perform ances of two ends in Saturday's scrimmage indicated that the position will be a strong one-for State next year. Joe Aaessa, a transfer student, played -a bang-up game both on the offense and defense, and indicated that he can kick as Well. Carl Waage-, man, who was a regular end for the freshmen two years ago, but was out last season with' a bad knee, played a fine game at the other end position. Freshman backs, put on a great ex hibition on the offense. Bud Kyle, xi fullback who was. Out most of the season with - a knee kicked well and made steady gains of ten to fif teen yards, on plunges through, the line., Bill „Denise, l'ealling signals, made twollashy long: runs around the ends and threw a few accurate passes. Other freshman backs who performed well were Tony Gianantonio and Vic, Centilman. That Higgins made. a - wise decision Aen he switched Paul Enders from center to blocking back •was proved by Enders' performance. The reserve center front fast year was especially strong on backing up 'the line. Eddie Sheridan, sophomore, and Art Yett, a junior, also played well in the back field. , During the scrimmage, the Lions managed to puOth, across two touch downs. After Kyle and Denise brought the ball up the field on sev eral good gains, Denise swept around right end for twenty-five yards and a touchdown. The second score came after Mosso - snared a pass from the hands of four Lock Haven men which was thrown By Denise for a thirty yard gain. Gianantonio then went over for the touchdown, Werner Will Enter Track Squad in Relays at Penn Excellent Records Turned in at Try-outs Held Saturday; Four Men Break Pkevious Time in 880-Yard Event. BY JOHN B Representing the finest track team that 'State has had in the past half dozen years, Coach "Chick" Werner is selecting a squad of from twelve to sixteen men to compete in. the annual Penn Relays at Philadelphia Friday and Saturday: Time trials were held Saturday and despite the cold weather and the slow track some excellent times were turn ed in. Perhaps the most remarkable was the 880, where four men easily broke two minutes. Downey, Book, Markowitz finished' almost together in 1:58.5, with Baird about a yard be hind.. These four, along with Stite lee, who has been out because of ill ness, make up the finest set of middle distance men that Werner bps hand led here, and with any sort of luck they should repeat their I. C. 4 A. success and take the 2.4nile relay at MORE ROOM MORE SANDWICH AT SPIDER'S NOOK ALL-AMERICAN RATHSKELLER nis Team; No Successor Named Bezdek To Appoint New Mentor; Squad Forced To Remain Inactive By Weather By STEVE CAMPBELL "Dinh" Stover," for eight years coach of the Nittany Lion tennis team, yesterday announced his retirement from active duty as coach of the net ters. There was considerable speculation as to who will succeed Stover. No definite appointment has been made despite the imminent match with the strong Cornell team on the new var sity courts Saturday afternoon. Prominently mentioned for the posi tion were Lieut. Raymond Oxrieder. of the military department, and Paul Meunier, graduate assistant in chemt istry. The former mentor said he was forced to resign at least temporarily because his duties in• the extension service of the economics department frequently called him out of town and he would not be able to give the team the attention it demanded. lie ex pressed belief, however, that next year he will be able to resume the task which he has handled since 1928. It, has not been decided how the coaching situation. will be arranged. Stover probably will continue in an advisory capacity this year at least. The appointment•,which is to be made by Hugo Bezdek, will be made imme diately to enable the new coach to whip into shape some sort of lineup to face the Red netters from Cornell. Along with the confused coaching situation, inclement weather condi tions conspire to keep the team idle. Persistent cold weather, in no way conducive to effective racquet swing ing, has prevented the squad from having-a single practice to date. Stover expressed grave fears about the result of the match with Cornell. The new coach will be faced with the prospect of building an almost new team. Only two lettermen, Captain Jimmy Smith anil Dick Campman, will be hack in school this yea• since five regulars. including the colorful "gal wonder," Dot Anderson, were Mercersburg Beats Freshmen in Initial Game by 13-2 Score After two days of practice, the Lion freshman baseball team met a strong Merccrsburg Academy outfit on New Beaver field and lost 13-to-2.. With hardly the kinks out of their arms and with snow flurries and a crack pitcher to face as well, the frosh came out with a performance that is much more to their credit than the score in dicates. In spite of lack of practice, Di clinger gave a creditable pitching per formance for six frames, when he re tired with the score 6-to-2 against him. Houser relieved him for a dis astrous seventh inning. He came from the bench cold and walked the first three men who faced him. Coupled with three hits and an error, this gave the Academy seven runs. Lacking teamwork, but displaying sparkle in individual spots, the year lings show real potentialities. Corbin, Harrison, and Tantantis in the in field, and Chalmers in the outfield, played particularly well. Philadelphia. The same group will also compete in the medley relay. Perhaps the most encouraging single performance Saturday was that turned in by Art John in the 100. All along the sprint events have appeared to be the weakest of any on the team, but with Art, despite the football weather, turning in a flat 10- second performance, it may be that the dashmen have been under-rated. In addition to the regular relay teams, Werner may send a shuttle hurdle outfit to the Relays. Jim Red mond is probably the best performer in this event, but Chick kept him out of the trials Saturday because of a fear of aggravating his leg 'injury. Running in the 120 high hurdles Dave Bauer turned in a time of 16.1, fol lowed by Thompson and Osterlund. In the 220 low hurdles Osterlund finished first in 26.1. Bauer and Thompson took second and thjrd. At least six State men will com pete in individual events at Philadel phia. Captain Bill Miller probably bas the best chance. In .the hammer trial he <lid 149 feet Saturday. Other weight men who will make the trip are Murphy, Brown, and Cornman. In the shot put Murphy did 44 feet 5 inches and Brown 42 feet 6 inches. In the discus the formed had a 135-foot 1-inch tops while Brown did 114 feet 8 inches. Cornman had a 127-foot if. (Continued an Page Pour) gra.clupted last June. Smith and CaOtonan. along with Paul Massey, erstwX - ile ski jumper, will form the nueletti of this year's team. Stover was vary optimistic about Massey's court futztVe.
