FRANCE Coach Marty McAndrews is still faced' with the problem of getting a definite outlook on the 125 freshman candidates who have been reporting for football practice during the’past week. A shortage of equipment is causing the coach to -work this large squad in shifts, so that lack of equip ment will not hamper the showing of any prospect.

Asked as to whjch hoys were showing up best, Mac Andrews an swered, “No scholastic record will favor anyone; those /who produce on the field, whether alb-State holders or from the smallest /school, will only earn positions- on the squad by what they-do in.practice!.” The freshmen's schedule of five games starts with ' the' encounter against Kiski Prep on October 10, the morning of 'Alumni Homecoming week-end.

The game opened with Adessa, Schuyler, Toretti,‘Cherundolo, Wible; Hanley, BarantovlcH, Wear, Patrick,! Donato, and Silvano on the “blues,” and Morini, Palmer, Cornman, De- Marino, Sehrieber, Zochowski, Scott,' O’Hora, Genfilman, Owens, and Kyle playing for the “whites.” Play Full Quarters The practice 'game W as a full 60- minute affair minus one that Bob waived after Metro had counted the second touchdown. Numerous replace ments gave most everybody in playing trim an opportunity. Particularly disgusted with his form was Patrick who did not look good for the first time this year. Harry Harrison gave indicaton that he was set to sparkle, but has not had as much playing team to work with as formerly. Pfayers anff coaches alike were dis-. satisfied with ,the game. Optimistic ally the game showed - many weak points in the offense that can be iron ed out before the season'opener with Muhlenberg here October 3.

Harrier Turnout Below Last Year By WOODROW W. BIERLY The illuminating outlook that was predicted two weeks ago for State’s cross-country team was somewhat dimmed last week when the harriers reported for the first practice ses sions. Instead of the usual fine turn out that respond to the first call each year, very few reported. In fact, the number at thepresent.time, after two weeks of college have passed, is small er than the group .that came out at the beginning of the season last year. •Only forty irishmen and twelve varsity men have reported thiis far, according to Coach Chick Werner. The fraternity rushing season is' be lieved to have prevented a number of freshmen from trying out for the team, at least up to the present time. Fall Track Meet Planned Practice thus far has been limited to scarcely .more than exercise. The harriers are out, running about a little, a few laps- around the golf course each night, just to get over that stiffness. After the boys are limbered up, more strenuous • work outs will take place. Time trials will be held and competition will be gin. The season opens with the Le high-meet, scheduled for October 17.

DIAL 2722 THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Joe Bedenk (This is the second of a. sc ries of biographical sketches on Penn State coaches). Although Joe Bedenk is enter ing his seventh season as line coach of Penn State’s football forces, he has seen very few games played by the Nittany Lions. One of Joe's main duties is the scout ing of rival elevens, and this takes him far from the scene of Penn State battles. Joe Bedenk is the last Penn Stater who received a position on an all-American team. He was cho sen by Walter -Camp as guard on the honor eleven •of 1923. He played regular guard here for three years and. was also i active as on outfielder on the baseball team coached by Hugo Bezdek that won thirty straight games. For throe years after graduation, Joe was line coach, baseball coach, and assistant director of athletics at Rice Institute in Texas. He then went to the University of Florida,- where he served in the same capa cities until 1929, when.he came here and took up his present du ties. He was appointed head base ball coach in 1930. Bedenk is reputed to be one of the most astute scouts in the coun try . . . His baseball team of the past season'was one to boast about .. . during the 1928 season at Flor ida, the “Gators” were high scor ers in the nation . . . ed out thus far for - fall practice, which will last about three weeks. On Wednesday and Thursday, Sep tember 30 and October 1, a' meet will be held on New Beaver field. It will be. a contest among various groups of the Nittany boys. Between The Lions Intramural football will be start ing one of these days as part of this College's extensive much-dis cussed .athletic programs for all. But the lord be with the house or dub that does not win its first game -or two, because that house' or club will be dropped from the champion ship competition rather hastily with but a brief taste of touch football. The aim of the intra-mural pro gram has been bandied about as “athletics for all.” Yet this fall literally hundreds who-like to play even a modified form o£football will be eliminated so quickly that the competition can hardly be classed as more than a passing fancy. Now down at Penn where Har vey Hannan-, the workmaser, coach es, and where it is rumored that subsidization takes place, more students will have the opportunity to play, actual football to their heart's content- this x fall than will have the opportunity to play actual football to their heart’s content this fall than will have the opportunity of using to any satisfaction the touch football system up here The way the Penn system works is to have four different football squads. Most widely known other, than ,the varsity is the Penn jay vee. , team; or, junior varsity. There are two others. Men who are really in terested in-football play on these teams for which schedules are com piled. If a man shows promise he may be advanced to the team above him in ability. It is all supervised and not by phys .ed majors. Now the fellow that wants to play football wants to play just that. If he wants to fuss around with forward pass or just fuss a round for a couple of days, he can go out in the back yard with the pigskin and do his fussing. The point is this: Somehow or other the brains behind the Penn football situation have been capable COAL M ICE WE ALSO SUPPLY FIREWOOD HILLSIDE ICE COMPANY \ • c f . .• Dial 842 ilds Great Nittany Soccer Teams Practice Game Invented By Coach Bill Jeffrey Develops Freshman Skill Optimism Apparent As Team Begins To Take Shape; Goalies Fight for Position By JERRY Y Vclley ball is the main cog in the machine that builds great soccer teams at Penn State, according to Bill Jeffrey, Lion coach, who is en tering his eleventh season here. The soccer volley ball game, which was invented by Jeffrey, is the same as the court game, with the excep tion of the bail used. And of course, the players use their feet instead of the hands. Skill is the outcome of playing soc cer volley ball. The game develops confidence in the players—confidence in their form, rhythm, timing—and most of all confidence in knowing that they can place the ball in given spots with ease. A marvelous sense of balance results. After a of workouts, fea tured by daily short scrimmages, the Lion eleven begins to take shape. Al though the two players figfiting for the goalie position can hardly be call ed equal to last year’s sensational Hetman, Ray Bell, they are begin ning to look good to Coach Jeffrey. Dick Haag and Selly Cohn are about evenly matched at this early date in the battle for a starting assignment. Jeffrey has made a few shifts in order to fill his vacancies. Dave Wad dell has gone to a. fullback position from halfback. Painter, shifted from fullback to the halfback line, joins Magrail, a newcomer, and veteran Eddie Mandel in front of the rest of the halfbacks. George Merwin, a sophomore, has good left-footed ac tion and is a threat for first team honors on the halfback line. Soccer Socks A quest for new wings is the main concern of Coach Jeffrey at the mo ment . . . Woody Hosterman looks good in the outside left spot ... Bor da, a likely-looking newcomer, is out with a bad leg ... an old injury . . . Optimism is the keynote of the soc cer men, especially among the veter ans in general and Jeffrey in particu lar ... With most of the team in good physical condition by this time, the short, daily scrimmages' will lengthen into full-time games . . . the first one is scheduled for today, with another one on the books for Thursday . . .

Jeffrey loves to give it, too . . . the mentor of the Centre Hall high school outfit was here yester day . . . and lie will bring his team down next Wednesday for a scrim mage with the Lion freshmen . . . Sol Miehoff is being bothered with sore feet . . . and he is trying to’ toughen them and get into top shape at the same time by running around of envolving a system whereby football players not of varsity cali bre can play football, while the college at the same time produces an outfit that go places nationally. Of course all this tends to de . velop players for Penn. much the f same as Brann Rickey St 'Louis' Cardinal chain in baseball. It might be done here to discover players that could be developed and keep third and fourth string varsity off the bench. If the idea is to get everybody to participate in the intra-mural system, why not plan a schedule where every entrant plays an equal number of games and the champion is determined by percentage rather than by elimination. Then maybe somebody besides the fellow calling tho signals in the backfield will get his paw on the football and find what it feels like. —C. M.
