Gridmen Face Crucial Struggle
Of Season at Cornell Tomorrow
Leave at 7:30 O’clock
From Corner for.
Ithaca Game
Economos, Metro To
Start Against Bears
IV CHARLES M. WHEELER JR.
Whether' or riot Penn State will
play football this season" will be de
cided tomorrow as the Lions face “the
crucial test of the year” with Cornell.
The team leaves this morning at 7:30
o’clock from the Corner.
Apparently taking the Lehigh
beating to heart and determining to
get going, the Lions waged two fero
cious scrimmages on Tuesday and
Wednesday 5n preparation for the
tilt. Again injuries will hamper the
Lion attack.
Paul Enders who was shifted to
tackle Tuesday received a severe kick
on the.leg and was in the infirmary
for two days. Whether or not he will
be able to play tomorrow is a-matter
of conjecture. John Economos will
see his first action since the Muhlen
berg game at a starting guard posi
tion, but Lung and O’Hora are still
questionable as to tHeir condition.
Adessa is still out, as is Zochowski.
And Harrison, Toretti, penise and
Chcrundolo will be playing with;
charleyhorscs and minor ailments. ,
Barantovich May Start
Alex Barantovich who was knocked
cold in Tuesday's scrimmage will pos- 1
sibly start at one end with Smith and
Waugaman battling for the other ter
minal position. Dean Ha/nley and
Dan DeMarino will play tackle.
Economps and Toretti will' be the
guards, and Captain Cherundolo will
be the pivot man. Windy Wear will
probably, start at quarterback, with
Joe Metro! playing fullback. Sammy
Donato will be at one halfback, and
the other position will be filled from
Denise, Harrison, arid. O’Hora. .
Cornell's starting array will. find
nine’ sophomores": arid’‘*two veterans
lining up.. The only experienced men
will be Captain Jack Batten, one of
the east’s greatest punters, in the
backfield, and Ted Hughes at center.
But the Bears, have a very heavy]
team, one that averages nearly 200
on the line and 185 in the backfield.
Snavely a Nemesis
They will be led by an old State
nemesis, Carl Snavely. It is signific
ant to note that the Lions have never

Hobbies Selected
By Outing Group
Faculty Members, Townspeople
Volunteer To Cooperate
In Meetings, Hikes
More than fifty-five students, at
tending the second meeting-of out
door enthusiasts held Tuesday night,
selected many new hobbies which will
be discussed and viewed on trips to
be taken in the near future.
Included in the list of activities
are archery, firearms in the woods,
cookery, fishing and hunting tech
nique, skating, skiing, snowshoeing,
overnight hiking, first aid, rocks,
mineral and animal identification,
and practical astronomy. The indoor
program aside from physical educa
tion activities will be vannouncod
later.
Several members of the faculty
and townspeople who are experts in
the various fields have been queried
concerning their interest in the pro
gram, and all have signified their
willingness to conduct the meetings
and hikes which will get under way
hy next week.
After the students have demon
strated that their interest is of a per
manent nature they will probably join
the National Association of Outdoor
Clubs which has members in the
leading' colleges in the country.
The School of Physical Education
and Athletics is sponsoring a broad
program of recreational activities
utilizing the services of faculty and
townspeople who are especially inter
ested and skilled in certain activities.
The hiking group has been the first
step along this line.

ment of history, has just returned
