BETWEEN
THE LIONS
By 808 GRUBB
It’s news when the Lion soccer
team meets its match in intercolle
giate competition.. The 4-4 score of
the Syracuse encounter would lead
one to believe that the Nittany
hooters did meet their match last
Saturday.
* As far as Coach Bill Jeffrey is
concerned, nothing would be said
about Saturday’s game. But from
the players themselves comes the
cry of fraud. And when the Lion'
soccer team raises the cry of fraud
we are inclined to believe that there
is something in it.
Th whole controversy centers
around the unsportsmanlike treat
ment the soccer team received at
the hands of the Orange team, of
ficials and spectators. It is the story
of a game and a crowd that got
beyond tbe control of the referee.
It is the story of a game that re
sembled football more than it did
soccer.
.Before the game opened, the ref
eree explained the 193 G rules to
both sides, stressing the fact that
rushing the goalie was prohibited.
In the first period Goalie Haag’s
shoulder was knocked out of place.
This seemed to be the signal for
rough stuff to start. From then on
rules were forgotten and the game
became a free-for-all, with the
Lions getting the worst of it.
Every point made by the Lions
was disputed. Spectators rushed on
to the field. The referee lost all
control. And then Bill Jeffrey spoke.
For the first time in 11 years' the
Penn State coach opened his mouth
•in protest. His protests were of no
avail,- however, as rough play and
bad decisions continued.
Two out of the four Syracuse
goals were legitimate. The others
were decidely not. Even the Syra
cus newspapers in their stories on
the game recounted the bad deci
sions of the referee and the general
confusion throughout th game.
As a result of Saturday’s game
the entire team is shaken up. Haag
was hurt so badly he will not start
tomorrow's game. Mandell and
Barnes as well as some of the
others received injuries.
This is not the first time that
Penn State teams have received
unsporsmanlike' treatment at the
hands of pro-Syracuse officials and
spectators. The football team ex
perienced it last fall. The boxing
'team experienced it last winter.

By WOODY BIERLY •
The Lion varsity cross-country team
will be out for their third victory of
the season when they meet the Pitt
aggregation on Schenley Park tomor
row morning at 11 o'clock. The fresh
men will also leave tomorrow morn
ing' for/Pittsburgh where they will
run. against th Pitt freshmen at 10:30
o’clock.
Coach Chick Werner will enter the
same seven varsity men in the njeet
who defeated Syracuse. Competing for
the Nittany Lions will be Captain
Howard Downey, Pete .Olexy, Len
Henderson, Charles Clai*k, Bill Griest,
Herbert Hazard and Burt Aikman.
Freshmen To Run
Ray Conger, freshman mentor, will
replace Richard Yohn with Jim Hos
tettler for the meet against Pitt.
Otherwise'the freshman team will be
composed of the same seven that ran
against' the Orange. They are Nor
man Gordon, Frank Maule, Hap Gal
er, Graham Miller, Herbert Nipson,
Eric Van Patten and Jim Hostettler.
It was 1 raining on Tuesday after
noon when Coach Werner held trials
to select the team to go to Pitt. The
times were’nt so fast as those of last
week, but the route was slippery.
3 Tie in Time Trials
Captain Downey, Hazard and Hen
derson tied for first place in the trials.
They ran the route in 27 minutes and
52 seconds. Placing fourth with a
time of 28:07 was Pierce, who led the'
squad in the trials last week. Olexy
was fifth with a time of 28:26 to lead
Clark and Aikman by four seconds.
Although Pitt has not defeated
State during the past 12 years of
competition, the Panthers usually pre-
Mrs. Morris To Form
Co-ed Speaking Choir
A speaking choir is being organized
for Penn State women by Mrs. Neva
Morris, house mother at Grange
Dorm. This choir, which will be com
posed of thirty-five voices, is similar
to a singing choir, except that it will
speak instead of sing. The voices
will be divided into four parts: Tow,
medium low, medium high, and high.
The speaking choir was' introduced
into this country by Miss Marjorie
Gullah of England, first as a means
of teaching rhythm in reading to
school children and later as an enter
tainment to feature the dramatiza
tion of narrative poems*.
At present there are speaking choirs
•at the Pennsylvania College for Wom
en in Pittsburgh, and at Wellesley.
The organization here, Mrs. Morris
said, will give its first presentation
sometime after the Christmas holi
days.
sent some strong opposition for the
Lions. Last year State won the meet
by a score of 27-to-28, Olexy placing
first with a time of 28 minutes and
21 seconds. Harold Tost and Alex
Leggin, who .are expected to run to
morrow, finished in second and third
positions, Tost being 14 seconds be
hind Olexy.
Maule Wins Plebe Trials
Others who are on the Pitt team
are John Woodruff, who, ran around
the stadium in Berlin last summer
to win the 800-meter 1036 Olympic
championship, Alex Zamborski, Geo.
Cook, Frank Bonurati, R. G. Noed
strom, and Robert Folletti.
The Schenley Park course is
five-eighth’s of a mile longer than the
cross-country route here. It takes the
runners over three or four steep trials
and a cobblestone hill, which won’t
make things easier for the Lions.
Gordon did not run in the freshmen
trials which were won by Maule with
a time of 16:50, Galcr placed second
with a time of 17:00; Miller with a
time of 17:01; Nipson, 7:02; Van Pat
ten, 17:31 and Hostettler, 17:35.
Gymnasts Slate
Dangerous Foes
Glasser Faced with Hard Task;
Only 3 Lelterm.en Return
From Last Year
Having tentatively scheduled meets
with the three leading teams in the
country and only three lettermen re
turning from last year, the gym
team’s new coach, Julian Glasser, is
still looking for more likely prospects.
Glasser, who was assistant coach at
the University of Illinois last year,
was captain of that school's team in
1934, and placed in the national A. A.
U. meet that year, and was runner up
in many other championship meets.
A meet with' Temple has definitely
been scheduled for Februai’y 17 ITere,
while .tentative dates have been set
for Army on February 6 and Navy
on the 13th. Temple was the national
intercollegiate champion last year,
and Navy placed second, with Army
third.
Lettermen returning from last year
are Captain Ray Mattern, Mat Rora
baugh, and Sam Beck. Coming up
from last year’s freshman squad are
Ray Runkle, Charles Hugus, and
Franny Megrail, while another very
promising sophomore, who was not
out for the team last year is A 1 Klig
man.
Other prospects are Guy Close, Ju
lian Parton, Marshen, and Suydam.
Stanley Feldman, former West Phil
adelphia high star looks good in his
daily workouts with she freshman
squad, along with Schaefer, Shmuk
ler, Zern, M. Beck, Weaver, and Ep
stein.
Pre-Med Examination

The Pre-Medical Aptitude Test, ad
ministered by a committee of the As

see Professor Oscar F. Smith at his
office in 112 Pond Laboratory before
November 7th.
All who plan to enter a
Medical School in 1937 should arrange

one of the normal requirements for
admission. A fee of $l.OO is collected
from each applicant to assist in de
fraying the expenses of the commit

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Soccer Game at 1 O’clock, Only Varsity Sport
On Home Program; Terrors Strong
Penn State’s undefeated soccer team will meet Western Maryland on
New Beaver field tomorrow at 1 o’clock in the only varsity sport to be played
at home.
Coach Bill Jeffrey has made two changes in the lineup for the battle with
the Green Terrors. Hank Schweitzer, a 'sophomore, will be in the goal in
place of Dick Haag. Haag took a severe beating in the Syracuse game, and
a shoulder injqry has not yet fully responded to treatment.
Frank Megrail, reserve halfback, will start his first game of the season
at center, replacing Walt Painter, another sophomore. Megrail is a faster
player and it is hoped he will speed up the play.
Swimmers Begin
Training in Pool
Squad of 40 Report To Coach
Galbraith; Capt Cummings
Leads Lion Team
By JERRY WEINSTEIN
After two weeks of gymnastic work
outs, Penn State's swimming team
has entered the pool to begin training
for its second season in intercollegi
ate .competition.
Coach Bob Galbraith has a squad
of forty mermen working out four
times a week. With eighteen veter
ans, which include stars from last
year’s freshman team, on hand, plus
more than twenty newcomers who.
have survived the first cut, Coach
Galbraith has a competent group with
which to work. .
Cumming Leads Team
Leading tHe Lions will be Captain
Jimmy Cumming, high scorer from
last year. Cumming is a versatile
performer, having been used in both
freestyle sprints and distance, as well
as in the backstroke.
A bright spot in the swimming ar
ray is Dick Geiger, star dorsal swim
mer, who captained the Nittany team
last year. Geiger took the only first
place in the Penn meet and is expect
ed to be m even better’ form this
year. “ •'
. The breast-stroke will be well cov
ered by Gil Burleigh and Gene Lesko,
veterans. Dick Oliver, a sophomore,
is also strong in this event.
That the freestyle events will be
amply cared for is concluded by the
presence of Charley Welsh and Ken
Bunk, sophomores. Welsh, who swims
either the fifty, 100, or 220, was a
star at Mercersburg, while Bunk,
good in tHe 220 and 440, was on the
State championship Allentown team !
of two years' ago. Both will be avail
able for two events.
Among the sprint men who have
returned are Bob Dewalt, Bobby
Brown, Johnny Walker, and Bill Hel
reigcl, all lettermen. Ray Parks, star
diver, is on hand also, as is Marty
Mart, sprinter and diver. George
Henderson, a 440 man who was im
pressive as a freshman, but who did
not compete last season, is training.
lan Murphy is another veteran who
has reported. \
Transfers Eligible
Two transfer students will be ready
to swim this year and may further
strengthen the distance events. They
are Van Benschoten and Voell.
Holdovers from the freshman team
include Bechtel, Kiefer, Lehman,
Wise, and Holdren. The newcomers
are Taylor, Ettinger, Manolen, Rec
tor, Rhoades, Blossak, Whitebread,
and Bailey. *
Others" are Crawford, Hershey,
Mangle, Cobb, Quick, Breeding, Deck
er, Weatherly, Walker, Carlson, Lu
cas, Gotwalt and Port
Six Meets Scheduled
Progressing from four, in
the initial season six have been sched
uled for the coming season. The team
will meet Penn, Pitt, Cornell, and
Syracuse, in addition to the newcom
ers, Western Reserve and Carnegie
Tech.
Woi’kouts will continue for the var
sity until Christmas. With two weeks
to go after that before the first meet,
a concenrated period of training will
begin. The freshman team will be
called out December I. With a meet
tentatively arranged with Mercers
burg, the yearling squad will prob
ably be eligible for numerals.
Dean Attends Meeting
Charlotte E, Ray, dean of women;
Miss M. Ellen Burkholder,' assistant
to the dean; and Mlss«. Katherine
Phelps, supervisor of freshman dorm
itories, will attend the sixteenth an
nual convention of the Pennsylvania
Association of Deans of Women at
the Penn-Harris Hotel, Harrisburg,
Friday and Saturday.
Regulars to Play
Despite injuries, four regulars
will be ready to play. Frank Ostei'-
luntl, who was kicked in the ankle in
the Syracuse game; Sol Miehoff, who
received an eye injury; and Phil
Barnes and Eddie Mandel, who were
badly shaken up in the Orange bat
tle, will take their places in the Penn
State lineup.
Captain Bill McEwan, Dick Wilde,
and Carl Wacker are in good condi
tion and will join Osterlund and Mie
hoff on the forward line. With Me
grail, the halfbacks will be Mandel
and Freddy Spykey. Barnes will lead
the defense with Bill Borda and
Schweitzei*.
Western Maryland Strong
Western Maryland will bring a vet
eran team to meet the Lion hooters.
Winners of the Maryland champion
ship last year, the Terrors set a fast
pace with eight victories, one defeat,
and two ties. One of the victories
was chalked up over Navy, always in
the fight for championship honors.
- This season, Western Maryland,
coached by the captain of the cham
pionship team of 1935, has been suc
cessful. The only Terror defeat
came from West’ Chester Teachers
College, which manages to win many
games each year in the fast league
around Philadelphia. .
The Nittany mascot, Miss Jo Ho
bart ’37, will continue the custom of
opening each Tiome game for the Li
ons . . . Expected to be out for the
season, Dave Weddell, injured full
back, brought a spark of optimism to
soccer practices when .he repoi*ted
again this year . . . his injured knee
is still a bit weak and it is not known
as yet when He will be available . . .
Famous ball players’ sons have ta
ken up the booting sport... Ty Cobb’s
boy played for Princeton Saturday...
and George Sisler’s offspring repre
sented Dartmouth . . . Cortland State
Teachei's of New York would like to
play Penn State . . . which is more
optimism . . .
60 Freshmen Fencers
Turn Out for Ist Call
Doubling the freshman total of last
year, a record crop of sixty candi
dates answered the initial call of Dr.
H. M. Knitter, new fencing coach
here. Since no meets are scheduled
for the freshman fencers, they will
be awarded numerals after competing
in a round-robin tournament.
Meanwhile, the varsity swings into
its pre-season practices next week in
preparation for u stiff four-game
schedule wfiich includes Syracuse,
Cornell, Lehigh, and Rutgers. At
least thirteen candidates are expected
to report, headed by co-captains Rob
ert D. Bowen. '37 and Richard Lewis
’37.
Among the leading prospects com
ing up from last year’s freshman out
fit are Samuel M. Rankin, George T.
Davey, and John Lepecsky. Ernst
11. Van Haagen '37, a transfer stu
dent from Haverfovd College, is an
other bright prospect.
Enders Lost To Team
Remainder of Season
Paul Enders, plagued with injur
ies during most of the present foot
ball campaign, will be lost to the Li
on football team for the remainder of
the season. He has dropped out of
school and gone home.
Enders, the heaviest member of the
Lion squad, weighing 220 pounds,
lives in Grecnsburg. Last year he was
Chuck Cherundolo’s understudy, and
this year was tried at the blocking
halfback and tackle positions. A leg
injury prevented his getting in much
playing time, however.
He was regarded as an excellent
defense man, particularly at backing
up the line. Enders left school for
several days before the season but
returned. It is not expected that he
will return again this year.

Bisons Tomorrow
I!y FRANCI!
Tomorrow at 2 o’clock on New
Beaver Field the freshman football
team will meet the highly-rated Buclc
nell yearlings in one of State’s old
rivalry series.
Because of the weather the fresh
men have had several indoor prac
tices. On the gym floor they “dum
mied” their plays and practiced pass
defense. Thursday they held their on

Basketball Candidates
Report for 2nd Trials
Both those men who were cut from
the freshman squad and any new can
didates for either freshman or var
sity are still welcome to try out for
the basketball team, according to
Coach John D. Lawther. Due to the
large turnout, there were, naturally,
a few men overlooked, and it is Coach
Lawther’s wish that each man gets a
fair trial.
The squads have been pi*acticing
for a month, four times a week, and
things are shaping up pretty well,
with the morale and spirit of the can
didates running high. Not all of the
varsity men of last year have report
ed yet, since they are on other teams.
Three sophomores of last year’s
varsity are, even at this early date,
playing an outstanding brand of ball.
Juniors with one year of varsity com
petition behind them, Joe Proksa, a
guard, Jack Reichenbach, center, and
Herb Peterson, forward, make future
prospects look bright.
Among the freshmen, studded with
many former liigh school stars, Hoff
man, Kranich, Hetra, Blough, and
Rhodes have shown up well in early
practices.
