Friday, September 25, 1936 Varsity to Tangle With Yearlings Tomorrow Soccer Lineup Remain Wife- 5 Lettermen, 4 Veterans on Hand, Coa«li Bill Jeffrey Has 2 Weeks To Select Starting Team for Opener By JERRY WEINSTEIN, •Although the soccer, season is but'two - weeks away, Coach Bill Je/Trey has not yet decided upon his opening lineup. With only - five lettermen and four veterans on hand, Jeffrey is. confronted with a problem that seem ingly doesn’t bother him in the least. . Four out, of five of the forward'line of last year's undefeated team will make that department adequately capable. The halfbacks will be in experienced 4 or the most part, but the fullback posts will be well taken care. of. The goalie spot will be filled by a newcomer. "McEwan (6 Lead Wings * ' rt ~ 1 "' One of the outstanding college for wards in the country will pace the Nittany forwards when Bill McEwan, who captains the team, takes his out side left post. - McEwan was one*- of two collegiate soccer players to reach .the final Olympic tryouts last June. The other college boy was Bill’s younger ..brother,. Dave.. Tibc, there was a McEwan on the United States team, but that was Bill’s older- broth er, Johnny. ;> • Along with. McEwan on the for ward.,line there will be Sol Miehoff, who scored a sensation as a sopho more last year. . Carl Wacker. is an other star who showed well as a soph omore with Miehoff. Frank Oster lund, not reported as yet, rounds out four of the five lettermen.,. Halfbacks Inexperienced Only one of the possible three lead ing halfbacks has had any experience to speak of. Eddie Mandel,<a junior who played in some games last year, is the-only half with any training. Two sophomores are leading the pack for the other available halfback posi tions, namely Walt Painter and Mac Magrail. Spiker is also pushing for a starting assignment. Phil, Barnes, although slightly in capacitated with a leg injury, will make the fifth letterman to start the season'for Jeffrey. Dave Waddell, a veteran, joins Barnes in forming the two fullback posts. Borda and James are 1 newcomers' who are vieing for fullback positions with the veterans. ,•. Goal Still Open When Hank Schweitzer, a sopho more, reported’ to Jeffrey this week, another problem confronted the' Nit tany. mento?. Schweitzer, who . has had ; socc'er^experiemfe,*- one-more player to the list of equally capable'•/goal'" tenders., Dick .Haag and Seliy Cohn'are the 'other netmen who. make the three-cornered fight *an open affair. / There is a,hot fight for the fifth forward' position, the only one, inci dentally, ;that is free'from veterans . . . two Woodys; Cornman ''and ■ Ho sterman, are closely- matched for the first call . . Dave Waddell has been out for a few days-with a wrenched knee •. . . and Phil Barnes, still has a leg,jinx., . . for the last two years his ankle was bad . . . and now it’s His thigh . . . but nothing serious «•.. “The Boys With The Educated Feet,” Bill Jeffrey’s contribution to the game of soccer, has nearly sold its first edition . . . and the second edition of the book is already, printed. < Tljett£etort SHOES NEVER TREAD THE B EAT E N PAT H 146 South Allen (Diagonally across from Post Office) SWIM!

Eckley Garage 116 McAllister St. Slate College Undecided Between The Lions .It is probably unavoidable that the outstanding team on the Penn State campus receives such little support from the student body. Circumstances are such that year after year, the same conditions prevail. By its very. record, the Penn State soccer team can be called most impressive of the" fourteen varsity sports outfits. Winning eighty games while losing only twelve in a twenty-five-year span clearly indicates the feat that has been performed by Lion hooters over a quarter-century. Yet, few people witness the soccer encoun ters despite performance. ’ Football, of course, holds the fall sports spotlight- throughout the country. It is the greatest inter collegiate sport and is rapidly gaining prestige in professional circles. Soccer in this country never has and never will receive the attention football gets and foot ball deserves. Here at Penn State, a Saturday afternoon finds thousands on New Beaver field to witness football games. A few hours before that, the soccer team probably won a stirring victory before less than a hundred observers. Soccer games are scheduled dur ing the lunch hour. This in itself keeps people away. They are. held b.eforc and not ‘ during football games in orScr to let the booters witness the' gridiron battle as well as to round out the sports program cf the day. Something should be done at once to change the present set-up. No doubt, the performance of the soc cer team, brilliant as it is at the present time, could be considerably buoyed up by student support. Oust what could be done is' up to the athletic authorities. It might be possible to have the game played on a Friday- afkrnoon at a rea sonable hour. The games could be scheduled earlier on a Saturday in order not to conflict with the lunch hours. Soccer games might even be scheduled as a preliminary at traction to the football game. Whatever comes, it would be a nice gesture oq -the part of the Penn State student body to give wholehearted support to that im pressive soccer outfit, starting with the first game. The fact that stu . dents inconvenienced themselves just to sec tlie team play would in dicate the esteem that should be felt for the soccer.eleven.- to more than thirty. TJhe freshman squad, also, has been getting larger, and if the boys keep intact, they should cause plenty of worry for their opponents. A number of good names are listed on their roster, many of them holding high school records. No time trials have been conducted as yet. The harriers'won’t compete against each other for places on the team until after the boys are lim oered up. and over the soreness. Coach Werner is taking no chances on having the harriers sustain any. injuries. Only a few of the freshmen have covered the five-mile course so far. Among the varsity members who have turned out are Howard Downey, captain of the 1936 team, Charles Clark, Pete Olexy, and Don Daugh orty, all lettermen of the team last fall. Olexy took first place in the dual meets with Lehigh, Yale, and ,Pitt last year, and at the Syracuse 'meet tied with Downey, Book, and Trimble for first honors. • Sophomores who were numeral win ners last fall and who have come out for berths this season are Burt Aik man, Herb Hazard, Leonard Hender son, Bill Gricst, and Bill Joachim. Henderson was captain of the freshman harriers last year. He took first place in the dual meets with Pitt and Cornell and placing third, was the first State man to cross the line in the Syracuse race. The record. that Hazard has made for himself is also worth noting. Not having run in a competitive meet be fore coming here, he took sixth place in the intercollegiates in Van Cort land Park in New York City last No vember. He was but 25 seconds be-. (Continued on Page Four) ■THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Offensive Lacked Punch In Wednesday Scrimmage; Schrieber Breaks Wrist Guard Ranks Still Further Depleted by Loss Of Sacco, Battaglia; Harrison Reels Off Pretty Run in Practice By CHARLES M. WHEELER, JR. There will be an unholy mixture of colors on New Beaver field tomor row when the Lion varsity aspirants meet the yearling gridmen in a prac tice game. On one side will be blue and white jerseys and on the other green. The upperclassmen tried -their offensive against these green boys on Wednesday and found that they didn't have much of a one. It wasn’t until he first frosh line got out of action that'the varsity began to ga any place. Optimism has been the keynote of'the squad so far, but unless iflore progressive work offensively is done, a" few hopeful souls here and there are going to be dampened. The loss of Charley Schreiber,” sophomore guard who fractured his wrist Monday and will be gone all season, was a severe one. Especially so when it is considered that Battag lia and Sacco have gone home and have not returned as yet. This leaves the squad with three fine defensive guards Economos, Toretti, and Barth—but no offensive ones. Guard blocking on the offense was a special weakness on Wednesday. Peel, a willing sophomore tackle is being groomed to play the position. Economos at present is laid up with a sprained ankle. But more encouraging is the re turn of Denise and Waugaman to uniform and the ability of Enders to work out now. Harrison Goes Well Looking good Wednesday was Har ty Harrison who got his first oppor tunity to start with a select group in front of him. He rippe’d off a beauti ful • snaky run for about 25 yards right through the secondary defense and a touchdown. How fie got through four men without the semblance of interference is beyond this writer. Bud Kyle also turned' in a sixty yard run down tfie right-sideline for a score. Aagainst the frosh reserves the boys gained more consistently. The number 2. backs, notably Don ato, Lang, and Enders, when he re turns, are going to have a job of blocking, cut out for them if-Lion backs are to go places this-year. Encouraging nvas the work that Bob Higgins is-giving the ends and wing backs on taking out the oppos ing tackle." That is the kind of stuff that makes a winning football team. Lion rooters should be on hand to morrow to see what the team looks like and at the same time view the freshmen. .. - ■ Grid Lines Manager Joe Griffith has issued a call for more candidates for manager.
