Tuesday, October 20, 1936 «« Between The Lions »» By 808 GRUBB Saturday was a day of upsets. Pitt’s Panthers, hailed as outstand ing contenders for the national championship after knocking ' off Ohio State a week ago, bowed to Duqucsnc’s rugged defensive outfit, 7-0 and thus surrendered to an all eastern foe for the first time since 1928. Penn's fighting Quakers rolled over Princeton, generally re cognized as eastern title-holders last year. . “There were other, surprises, such as Lehigh’s 7-6 conquest of Penn State,” one week-end foot ball review said. But to all follow ers of the Nittany Lion who wit nessed the sad exhibition of foot ball in Taylor Stadium at Bethle hem on Saturday the gaipe was not regarded as a surprise. The sur prising thing about the whole'fias co was that the Engineers' didn't score at least two or three more touchdowns. To Lehigh, Saturday’s game was a triumphant victory—the fulfillment of a 19-year dream. In the minds of the Lehigh grid men and their followers, they, had upset the dope. We do not like to minimize the Lehigh victory. It was well deserved. But the fact remains that Lehigh was playing a team that was ns poorly organ ized as any of those during even the darkest years of the Bczdek reign. Coach Bob Higgins thought he had sent a team on the field: In stead, there were eleven men out there, each with his own idea about how the game was to be played and each one determined to play it that.way. Dissension in the ranks was the basic cause of Penn State’s igno minious failure on Saturday. That there may be an underlying cause for this dissension, we suspect, but just now the blame falls upon those CHARM BRACELETS CRABTREE’S Swing Rhythm is the rage this fall and Nick Nichols’ Orchestra is now available to play for houseparty and week-end house ■ dances.

It did not take a microscopic eye to see where the trouble lay. It came from those who should be the last to lose faith —the seniors on the • team—those grid stalwarts who are holding down, positions purely on the mer its of past performances. > And what caused the dissension? The presence of sophomores who really. want-to play; football, who are prevented from the playing the game as a team by the petty bick ering of a few veterans. Those vet erans seem-to think they.are des tined to pull the team out of the hole it has been wallowing in for the past two weeks. The result is that their horseplay has broken the team into two factions. The only remedy is to eliminate the one fac tion if future victories are hoped for. . Chief among the offenders was Tommy Silvano, . the Dunmore flash who. once went to Notre Dame. After failing to gain yard age -on line bucks time after time, this veteran .of many cam paigns decided it was up to him to captain the team and started upbraiding other players for their shortcomings. He was assisted in this valuable self-appointed duty by Schuyler, O’llora and Barth. Where was Chuck. Cherundolo all this time. Chuck, you know, is captain of the, team,* besides try ing to fill three or four other posi tions. Just as Chuck was every where in the Villanova game, so he was following up the shortcom ings of his team-mates in Satur day's game. This sort of playing leaves little time for field general ship and before Chuck knew what was happening he had a young re volution on his hands. Huddles were turned into glorified bull ses sions in which nearly everyone had his say. There is no doubt that followers of the team are fed up with the disgusting conditions that prevail. One of the few remaining chances for victory this season seems to be next Saturday’s game with’ Cornell. We have a hunch things will be different. Again, the Lion, its head hung by two defeats, seems in a position to come back. Wait until the season has reached the half way mark, at least, before passing judgment on the coach, his system, or the’ players, their potentialities. Booters Impressive Playing Skill on Wet Field Shown in 8 to 0 Triumph By JERRY WEINSTEIN Penn State’s soccer team demonstrated the fact that ifr is capable of playing a fast-passing game on a rain-soaked, field, as well as on a dry turf, when it scored a one-sided 8 to 0 victory over Gettysburg Saturday for its second triumph. . Playing on a field submerged by eighteen hours of driving rain, every unit—forwards, halfback?, and defensive players—indicated that the Nit tany Lion sports fans will again have a soccer team worthy, of equal rank ing with the undefeated teams of the last three years. While the shutout score suggests that little opposition was provided by Gettysburg, the actual facts show that the Bullets were no set-ups.

Their time for covering the 5Vi mile easy, but wet and sloppy course was 29:03 as compared with 29:49, the time of Ilildcbrandt, the first Lehigh runnei 1 to finish. Captain Downey, Olexy, Clark, Hazard, Henderson, Pierce, and Aik nian joined hands as they crossed the', wire, giving State her decisive victory in the first meet of the sea sen, but mention should be made of Lehigh’s star freshman, Elmer, who really paced them all.
