Page Six State’s Pre-Season Coach Higgins Calls Squad Of 50 To Begin Work-outs For Toughest Card in Years Cherundolo Will Lead Lien Grkimen at Center Post. Fifteen varsity letter-men along with a gioup of sophomores from last year's strong freshman team will give Coach Robert A. Higgins and his new staif of assistants a strong nucleus about which to build his 1936 grid machine. Facing the toughest schedule that any Penn State eleven has had since the days of scholarships, the Lions will swing into action with less than a month of practice. Between forty and fifty candidates are expected to report to New Beaver field next Tues day for the first work-out. Heading the returning candidates will be Captain “Chuck” Cherundolo, who will hold down the post at center for the third season. Flanking him will be Johnny Eeonomos, who as a sophomore last season was one of the outstanding guards in the East, and Lou Barth, a veteran of two years var sity experience. Veterans Return to Backfield Other varsity linemen who will be back arc Roy Schuyler and Dan De- Marino at tackles and Frank Smith at end.

Football Training Will Start Next Tuesday |J Brains Behind Fall Sports Campaigns | CHICK WERNER + • ' ; '3 L_ o Cozen So 3 f/tGGtr/s, <» Students May Gain Managerial Positions Through Competition Student athletic manager’s at Penn State are elected under a competitive system whereby candidates begin their quests for the managerships in their freshman or sophomore years and gradually advance to positions of greater responsibility. Football offers the opportunity for a new student to begin his campaign for a sport managei’ship. Early in the Fall a call is issued for freshman “third assistant” managers and those who enter the competition ai’o put to work taking care of football equip ment and performing many duties on the gridiron and in the gymnasium. In this manner freshmen are given an oppoi’tunity to make early acquaint ance with a large number of .students. After football season the freshmen who have remained in the competition are officially known as “second assist ant” managers. They are requested to report during the next football sea son about a week befoi’e pi’actice be gins. During their second year as as sistant managers they perform duties entailing greater responsibility.

They are elected by the football manager, football captain, football coach, gradu ate manager of athletics, and -the pres ident of 5 * the Athletic Association largely through the recommendations of the three out-going “first 1 assist ant” managers. The “first assistants” usually make a majority of the football trips and are placed in charge of most of the arrangements. They ‘ supervise the work of the “seconds” and “thirds.” At the end of the season the foot ball manager is elected from the three “firsts”,im.practically the same man ner as the “first - assistants” were chosen. The two candidates other than the newly elected manager becomes freshman manager and associate man ager, according to -the number of votes that they receive. Other sport managerships at Penn State are • gained in practically the same way except that candidates do not “turn out” until their sophomore year in some competitions. When such a procedure is followed, the candidate then automatically becomes a “second assistant.” LionEleVen Faces Tough S-Tilt Card Muhlenberg, Cornell Take Place 01 Lebanon Valley, W. Md. On ’36 Schedule With two exceptions this year’s football schedule will be the same as last when the Lions divided an eight game card, winning four and drop ping the same number. But those two changes will mean that State will face its hardest season in the past seven or eight years.

The Mules will open the season here on October 3, which will 3150*00 Dads' Day.

Syra cuse, always one of the best teams in the East, will be here for the Houseparty game on»October 31. Last year the Orange team won in the last minutes of a 7-to~3 thriller. State will meet its three toughest opponents in succession, since games with Pitt and Penn follow the Syra cuse contest. The Pitt game is away on November 7 and the Penn game, for which there will be a half-holiday, is at Philadelphia on November 14. Bucknell will close the season when they come here on November 21.
