Defense of Cherundolo, DeMarino, Toretti Fails to Halt ’Cats
Visitors Win
13-0 as Lion

In Hard Battle
By CHARLES M. WHEELER, JR.
Chuck Cherundolo, Dan DeMarino,
and Tor Toretti played sterling foot
ball Saturday, but a fast-staring Vil
lancva offense was too much, and
thereby hangs the sad tale for • the
day.
• For Villanova put down an impres
sive power attack that left nothing
for 15,000 rooters, including many aI-‘
umni, save a bitter taste in the
mouth. But the pill has been swal
lowed, and it’s time to look ahead.
But for old times’ sake let us an
alyze a bit that team that beat State
13-tc-O, piling up 10 first downs to
the Lions’ 4 and gaining 173 yards
from rushing to 55 for the locals.
First of all there was a great line
led by Captain Tony Sala and behind
it were seven of the fastest and trick
iest backs that State will have to
ever meet.
This line and these backs showed
their power early in the game, march
ing to a touchdown after an exchange
of punts from the Villanova 4G yard
line. And it was passes, this year by
the Wildcats, .that put the -ball in
scoring position. The first, Stopper to
Stoviak, was good for 27 yards, and
the second, Stoviak to Sala, put the
ball on the State 4-yard line. Stop
per then circled right end for the
score, but missed the kick.
On the kick-off State made its only
threat of the game when Harry Har
rison returned the ball from his own
5 to midfield, only to have the offense
bog down.
From then until the last quarter it
was the beautiful punting of A 1 Lang
that kept the Nittany Lion in the ball
game. Time after time he hooted the
ball away frpm danger after the
Wildcats had muffed scoring oppor
tunities with frequent fumbles .deep
in Lion territory.
But Villanova’s superior! team
could not be denied forever. Melius,
Wilcat tackle recovered Patrick’s
fumble on the State 21 in the closing
seconds’of the third quarter..-Five
plays in the fourth stanza put Stop
per over the goal again, and after
breaking even on two kicks that were
called over because of off-sides, fin
ally kicked the 13th point.
Before the game ended Bill Denise
made the only Lion first down derived
from rushing when he skipped around
left end. Another first down was made
on a pass from Harrison to Smith,
and the other two came from penal
ties.
But it must be understood that the
Wildcats were a real ball team. Time
and time again Stopper, Earle, Sto
viak, Christopher, Raimo, Buek, and
Nye ripped off the weak side with
flashy well-faked cross bucks until
the Lion defense was dizzy. And
Cherundolo, DeMarino, and Toretti
led an aggressive defense, playing all
60 minutes and drooping into the
locker room out on their feet.
State could never get its offense go
ing, and after the Wildcats showed
their offense, it was just a question
of not multiplying the woes for the
day. Minus the services of Red O*
Hora, who developed an infection in
bis bruised elbow from the'Muhlen
ber*g encounter, and John Economos,
whose hip is had, State put up a hope
less fight against superior odds.
Joe Adcssa injured his arm on the
first play of the game but did not
say anything about it until he was
removed . . . During the rainy morn-

Plays Great Game For Lions
Between the Lions
While Saturdays game proved a
bitter disappointment to the thou
sands of alumni who returned as
well as to the student body, expects
ing to see a greater Lion eleven in
action, there were things going on
behind the scenes that proved a new
day in Penn State athletics is not
too far off.
A week ago last Saturday the
Board of Trustees took a moment
ous step in dropping from the Penn
State athletic picture one • whose
policy was to de-emphasize football.
The past Saturday the newly-cre
ated Athletic Advisory Board, after
accepting the report of the Board
of Trustees, took another moment- r
ous step by definitely providing for
the maintainence of a training ta
ble, placing full authority in the
hands of the administrative group
of the School of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics. .
The Board's ruling providing for
continuance of the training table
and delegating authority to a defin
ite group is Penn State’s first step
forward in the march to a new deal
in athletics since the dismissal of
Bezdek. Others are bound to fol
low In rapid succession. If the .ad
ministration of the school sees fit,
it'may "authorize the'training ta-'
ble for other sports. Here, however,
it is restricted by the “limitation of
finaces” clause in the advisory
board's resolution.
•Freshmen expecting to partici
pate in athletics here no longer
will be given the “cold shoulder”
when they arrive here early in the
fall. The Athletic Board plans to
give the newcomers a royal wel
come and assist in every way pos
sible in starting them off on the
right foot. Realizing that freshmen
in the past had often been neglect
ed upon arriving here because no
provision had been made for their
entertainment, the board has ap
pointed - a committee composed of
student leaders and the administra
tion of the school to make plans
in assisting them to orientate
themselves to college atmosphere.
In the past, freshman athletes
coming here have been allowed to
ing the field was dry ... due
to the sun and winds that came out
at noon '. . . For merely revenge, the
Wildcats did well ....

shift for themselves. Many have
become discouraged and left school
even before meeting the coaches.
Such reports have prompted the ad
visory board to take this action—
another step in the right direction.
Those of you who may have been
“surprised” at the apparent “up
set” of Syracuse by Baldwin-Wal
lace on Saturday might be interest
ed to know that it wasn’t much of
an upset after all. While the little
Ohio college is not too well known,
in eastern athletic circles, it has
quite a reputation in the middle
west. And not a wholesome one
either.. This little school goes after
football players in a big way and
mauy have been the charges of pro
fessionalism heaped on the author
ities at Baldwin-Wallace.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Kiski’s Kromer Runs 55 Yards
To Defeat Freshmen in Opener
By FRANCIS
A chilled, wet crowd of State foot
ball fans watched the freshmen fail
to stop Kromer of Kiski who took the
hall on a reverse ■ from Mehaffey to
rim 55 yards for the game’s only
score during'the third quarter.
After downing Ickes’ punt on. the
45-yard marker, Kromer called the
reverse which tallied." He cut through
the right side of his line and was met
by three frosh tacklers. Breaking
loose, iie ran the muddy sideline beau
tifully to elude the secondary. Thomp
son converted on a placement for the
extra point with Mehaffey holding.
The Lions threatened hut once dur
ing the entire game .with' acting cap
tain Ickes taking the honors. Early
in the first "period a fumhlc gave the
frosh a chance to be within striking

distance of the goal.
Two first downs took the yearlings
deep in Kiski territory, but Ickes fell
short by a yard to register. Despite
unsteady footing and a slippery ball,
boih Kromer and Ickes got off very
good punts.
Throughout the game, Kiski played
a defensive gome. Many times they
punted on their second down. State
was more aggressive, even attempting
passes. Several of these netted nice
gains to keep the first year men on
a par in first downs with the visitors,
joth teams taking six apiece.
Fumbles gave neither team too
much of an advantage, as both out
fits were troubled with the same num
bei—five. On the defensive State
snowed up a little better than was
f- a

expected, but the line failed to open
up on many occasions for their backs.
Carl Stravinski, starting at left
tackle, was badly shaken up when he
collided with a Kiski back. He was
carried off the field and taken to the
infirmary. He rested there the rest
of i!ic day and was discharged Sun
day morning.
Except for the Lions* close call in
the opening period, the second and
fourth quarters were about an even
cal! on both squads. Twelve substi
tutions were made by both coaches,
with Kiski having an edge on better
drilled reserve strength.
