PRICE FIVE CENTS
Departure of Injury
Ridden Squad Set
For 9 O’clock
Smith, Kyle May Start
For Lions Tomorrow
By CHARLES 31. WHEELER, JR.
Riding on the crest cf an expected
rebound but handicapped by a start
ling number of injuries, Penn State’s
Nittany Lion football team will leave
the Corner at 9 o’clock this .morning
bound for Bethlehem and the Lehigh
Engineers.
Arriving in Allentown sometime
this afternoon, the gridders will pitch
camp, waiting until game time to in
vade the .tcrritory of the enemy, some
12 miles away. Twenty-nine players,
many still doubtful participants in
tomorrow’’s contest, are expected to
make the trip.
Coach Bob Higgins’ tentative line
up will assume somewhat the same
aspect as the one against Villanova,
the newcomers being Smith at end
and Kyle at left halfback. Paired
with Smith will be Alex Barantovich,
while the tackles are to be Dan De-
Marino and Roy Schuyler. Luther
Barth and Tor Toretti will be at the
guards, and Captain Chuck Cherun
dolo will assume his post at center.
Harry Harrison will call the plays,
and Tommy Silvano and Sammy Do
nato will work with Kyle in the back
field.
Injuries Harass Team
Injuries have laid low Joe Adessa,
Windy Wear, Red O’llora, A 1 Lang,
Othmar Wuenschel, John Patrick,
John Economos, and Bob Morini. Of
these, Wear, O’Hora, Lang, and Mo
rini may possibly be able to play a
portion of the game.
What was left of the squad at the
beginning of the week took things
easy in preparation for the Engineers,
working into a strenuous workout’on
Wednesday against Lehigh plays.
In facing the Engineers, the Lions
will have an undefeated team on
their hands. Lehigh has howled over
Case, Dickinson, and Johns Hopkins
on successive week-ends, and a con
test that hitherto had been regarded
as State’s one "breather’’ assumes a
much more important aspect The
Engineers have not beaten the Lions
since 17 and could not pick a inoro
opportune time to put on "their game
of the year" than against a team
that will be weak in reserve strength
because of injuries. -
Lehigh Uses Shift
The Lions will again have to face
a team that uses a shift, although the
offense will he somewhat different
from the one they had to .cope with
last Saturday. And State will have
trouble in the kicking department.
Harrison will have to take care of
the booting as well as the passing
and, all, in all, should have a very
busy afternoon.
Leading the opposition will he an
outstanding end from Pittsburgh,
Joseph Walton. A husky boy, he will
head a perennial heavy Lehigh team
coached by Glen Harmeson who took
over the job of building up the Engi
neers in 1934.
Possible starting array of Lehigh
will he Waltcn and lloppock, ends;
Rozell and Sterngold, tackles; Bayer
and McNally, guards; Frey, center;
Pazzetti, quarter; Milbank and Hel
ler, halves; and Pcnnauchi, fullback.
Starting with this game, Coach'Sob
Higgins hopes to establish a winning
streak that was so rudely jarred at
its very inception by the Villanova
Wildcats, if the Lions can get
through tomorrow’s battle with a
creditable showing, their injured mem
bers should be in shape to go against

Student Democratic

two prominent young’ Democratic
speakers at the rally planned for to
