To begin the second half, the frosh

marched to a score, Owens and Metro

lineman was detected holding on the
play and he made it good from r the

Metro Conducts Drive

drive of his own to put the pigskin;
in close. Smith then grabbed another

count the 41st point, but Yett fizzled

I Covolus partially blocked a punt
and Lang grabbed the loose ball'and,
came back 12 yards, further convinc
ing the writer that State has plenty:
o'f running backs that arc all right,
but is sparsely situated with block
ers. TCyie then assaulted the cub goal
line with driving blasts and soon the
ball was over. Lang crossed the op
position by passing to Krupa for the
extra point. Krupa was so much in
the clear that he could have hid a
slam hand and still had plenty of I
time to grab the pass.
Bob Higgins called the festivities
with about 8 minutes. of the final
session to go.
Did it with Handicaps
What was more than remarkable
was the fact that this score was piled
up without the aid of John Economos
and Tor Toretti, guards, and signal
barkers Windy Wear and Harry Har
rison, all of whom were laid up but
who will be in harness in, time for the
season's opener, against Muhlenberg

are still the weakest. Patrick’, Kyle, 1

Earle Edwards
(This is the fourth of a senes
of "biographical sketches on Penn
State coaches).
The last ’time a Penn State foot
ball team gave the powerful Pitt
Panthers a real scare was about
five years ago. The main reason
for the scare was the fact that a
Nittohy Lion end repeatedly broke
up a wide sweeping play the Pan
thers used that gave the ball car
rier four blockers. ,
Pitt finally won that.ball game,
with a late rally after the Lion end
was quite tired. The end that
caused all the trouble was Earle
Edwards, a newcomer to the Penn
State coaching staff as end mentor.
Edwards graduated in. 1931 with
a degree in industrial engineering
... in addition to playing varsity
football for three years he wits a
member of the lacrosse squad for
two seasons ...
He did not begin his coaching ca
reer until the fall of 1933 when he
took charge of the Princeton Prep
gridders . . . previous to that Ed
wards played a little professional
ball with the Passiac Red Devils...
In 1934 and 1935 Earle was
coach of the Ebensburg high
school football forces . . . and he
was called back here this season.

A lot of Lion players and coaches
and some of the publicity men went
over to Lewisburg Friday night to see
Bucknell beat Ursinus, G-0 . . They
came back of the opinion that Hooks
Mylin’s men are not too strong,, but
that in Tomasetti and Smith the Bi
sons have a great deal of potential
backfieid strength , . . Incidentally
Tomasetti almost came here from
Western Maryland. Dick Harlow
took him down there, and Tommy
left after Dick went to Harvard . . .
And speaking of habitual practice
watchers, as we were last issue, there
is hone so faithful and interested as
John Lee, manager of the Nittahy

Fritz Owens flashed some form oc
casionally Saturday ... he is cap
able of big things if he would get
down to them . . i repartee of Paul
Enders, returned prodigal, on the
bench regarding Fritz was unusually
good . . . Once when Higgins yelled
out on the field to Owens when he
misjudged a kick, yelling* “you lem
on” . . . Paul added lustily, “up a
tree, Fritzie” . . . and when he came
back to the sidelines continued with,
“What’cha doin’, Fritzie, getting
ready for the Bucknell game ? . . .'
Coach Bob Higgins thinks that
Saturday’s exhibition was only fair
and that the team has got, to improve
a lot before it can go anywhere . . .
Muhlenberg looked pretty strong Sat
urday and will be no easy opener, in
fact, a darn tough one. Bob thinks ;. .
Bob Higgins and Doc Ritenour had
their fun, too . . . A certain player
was wandering about in a play pretty
far from where he should be and Bob
said, “look at that lunk standing
around. How does he expect to play
football?” . . . Whereupon Doc ask
ed, “why .don’t you take him in hand
and make a real player out of him?”
. . . Higgins retorted, “yeah, and
why don’t you guys grow hair oh
bald domes?” ...
Injured John Economos, Tor To

sideline sticks for the game . . .
Harry Latorre, guard of last * year,
helped out for awhile. Harry is tak

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Forestry School
Drops Football
High Rate of Injuries
Blamed; Soccer
Substituted
Mont Alto football will be no more,
the athletic directors of the forestry
school have decided, after studying
the records of injuries which they
blamed partly on poor equipment and
partly on poor playing conditions.
Last year one of the athletes was
injured seriously. Athletic director
George Harvey ’35 announced the
abolition of the sport.
In place of football, Harvey plans
to substitute an Extensive soccer pro
gram,-a sport in which-the foresters
can compete on more - even terms
with other teams. In the past few
years the Mont Alto football team
was forced to go poorly equipped 'be
cause of the inability of the school
to purchase the proper equipment.
•While a student here, Hai*vey was
captain of both the track and cross
country teams. He excelled particu
larly at the mile run. - He closed his
athletic career by placing fourth in
the Intercollegiate two-mile run. In
addition to this, Harvey was a mem
ber of the Lion’s Paw, Druids, and
Skull and Bones. He studied horti
culture during his undergraduate
years and won the intramural 135-
pound boxing title two years in a row.
Between
The Lions
By GEORGE A. SCOTT
(Mr. Scott, city editor of the Cen
tre Daily Times, is our guest column
ist for today.)
Sports warnings were posted for
Coach Bob Higgins and his var
sity gridders Saturday when five of
the. Lions’ eight future opponents
registered victories by 1 ' convincing
margins while the 6-0; margin of
triumph for Bucknell, another fu
ture Lion foe, can hardly be taken
as .a criterion of. the Boons’ ,prob-,
able strength when.they the
Lions late in November. Judging
from Saturday’s scores -and per
formances of their rivals, the Li
ons have their work cut ‘out for
them and no .game can be called a
“breather.” ,
Muhlenberg, for instance, dem
onstrated that “Doggie” . Julian,
coach of last year’s state cham
pionship Ashland team* has made
a fine start toward putting the Al
lentown institution back on the
Pennsylvania football map by up
setting Lafayette, even though the
Leopards are weak and have been
woefully so in recent years. Julian,
veteran football followers will tell
you, knows his football and his
teams will play smart football to
oveicome any handicaps they may
have in weight and size..
Villanova showed.' power ; in’ ev
ery department in'trouncing' P. M.
C., 32-7; Lehigh turned back a bet
ter-than-average Case opponent,
16-7; Cornell swamped little Al
fred, 74-0; and Pitt turned on the
heat for little Ohio Wesleyan to
win, 53-0. Bucknell was the only
Lion ’ opponent to experience any
real trouble as it scored over Ursi
nus, 6-0.
There’s a lot of headaches in
that array. Villanova will be out
for revenge and plenty, of it for
last year’s 27-13 setback suffered
on New Beaver, field;; Lehigh’s
Glenn. Harmeson has had about
enough time to fully instill his sys
tem of play at the Bethlehem insti
tution and the Engineers should bo
ready to go places; any team has
to have something to . score 74
points and Cornell apparently has
it; Pitt admittedly has one of the
classiest teams in the and
Bucknell has an unhappy faculty
(for Penn State teams) of reach
ing its peak about the time it op
poses a Nitfany Lion team.-
And we still have to .hear ’from
Syracuse and Pennsylvania, both
touted' as considerably; stronger
than last year.
Quiet Suggestion
Used by Jeffrey
In Handling Team
By JERRY WEINSTEIN
Perhaps the most outstanding trait
of Bill Jeffrey’s handling of his soc-,
eer team is the quiet manner in
which he points out their mistakes.
While most coaches either yell out
their orders or else command the
players as to what they should be do
ing, Jeffrey simply suggests in the
softest way a better way of kicking
the hall.
This method seems to produce re
sults, since Jeffrey’s teams have been
outstanding for the past decade. He
is idolized by his entire team.
The return of Frank Osterlund
gives the Nlttany hooterfe another
forward. With Captain Bill, McEwan,
Sol Miehoff* and ICarl Wacker on
hand and in good shape, it remains
for Jeffrey to now find 'one more
wing. This is his biggest problem
at the moment.
During the last few practice ses
sions, several new faces have put on
performances that indicate they will
have to be dealt with when starting
assignments are handed out less than
two weeks away. The Lion soccer
men open their season against Buck
nell October 10.
, Freddy Spiker, a sophomore, has
been looking better every day at one
of the halfback posts. He has ex
hibited some smart playing and
should be among the outstanding can
didates for a spot on the halfback
line.
Walt Painter, another sophomore,
has been Tmproving perhaps more
rapidly than any man on the squad.
He, too, looks ready to accept the call
if he should get it.
A newcomer to soccer practice has
been Sam Davies, who played on the
freshman basketball team last win
ter. Davies, who will be used either
at the inside left position or at half
back, was out with an operation from
which he just recovered.
Penn State’s freshman soccer team
has been and will be seeing more ac
tion than other Lion yearling hoot
ers in the past. Today they ' will
again tackle the State College high
school team and tomorrow they face
the Centre Hall outfit.
Captain Bill McEwan has turned
to refereeing. Last Friday he hand
led the Boalsburg-State College high
school game which the Little 'Lions
won 3 to 1. He called four penalties.
Followers cf.the booting sport here
have noticed the increased size of the
1936 Penn State’ squad. The teas*
itself is not only bigger, Coach Jef
frey points, but also there are many
more players on the campus this year
than ever before.- There never has
been such enthusiasm shown among
the freshmen in particular.
Injuries are holding the team back
slightly. After two days in the hos-[
pital, fullback Dave Weddell is welli
on the way to recovery from a ’
wrenched knee. Phil Barnes, regu-j
lar fullback from last year’s unde-j

’4O Harriers Assured
Of Meet With Cornell
By WOODROW BIERLY
Adhering to his program of condi
tioning, rather than speed, Coach
Chick Werner will send his harriers
out tomorrow for a game of Tiares
and hounds. In this form of prac
tice, the majority of the squad - , or
hounds, try to catch three selected
members of the team, known as
hares.
For two weeks the 20 varsity and
40 freshman candidates have been
holding themselves down to easy
work-outs. The team is beginning to
take shape, and although practice has
begun, Werner stated thatjt was not
too late for any students'”interested
in the. sport to report.
Cornell Meet Assured
Interest in the freshman campaign
has .been heightened by the assur
ance that a freshman team will be
sent lo Ithaca to compete with the
first year men of Cornell. The meet,
when scheduled, was pending and it
was not until last week that it was
made certain. On this same day the
varsity team will also open the sea
son when the boys run at Bethlehem
against Lehigh.
Captain Howard Downey and Pete
Olexy are leading the rest of the
varsity candidates through the paces.
The other two lettermen of last year,
Don Daugherty and Charles Clark,
have also been working out. Daugh
erty is troubled with a sprained ankle
but is expected to be in shape by the
time the first time trials are held.
Clark, Daugherty, and Wear, an
other veteran, will have to light off
Committee Discusses
Transfer in Athletics
Discussing the status of a junior
college transfer student who wishes
to participate in intercollegiate ath
letics, Dean Robert L; Sackett, of the
School of Engineering, conducted a
round table session before the execu
tive committee of the National Col
’egiate Athletic Association Satur
day.
In meets held this summer, junior
college students who had transferred
to senior colleges were not permitted
to compete. This problem, a major
one on the Pacific coast for a number
of years, is fast growing in the east.
Following a conference on the sub
ject, the association will probably
take action at its December meeting.
A Valet Service vs
A Dry Cleaner . . .
A DRY CLEANER deals in the cleaning and finishing of clothes. Due
to the fact that a large volume of garments that pass through the
hands of the average cleaners, it is impossible lo catch every detail
despite the fact that the plant may or, may not be a modem’plant.
Therefore, many times small, but important, details are overlooked.
A VALET SERVICE not only has the garments cleaned and pressed
at the most reliable cleaner, hut also as a part of its own system adds
to this by the following: It replaces broken or missing buttons, re
pairs sleeve linings, and thoroughly inspects each and every garment
before the clothes are placed in paper garment hags. (All articles are
enclosed in bags for the protection of your clothes). And for all this
extra attention there is no additional cost!
Why not send your clothes the VALET way? Dial 2403,
