BETWEEN
THE LIONS
By 808 GJtUBB
Pitt Is a Horrid Word:
Perhaps the.Nittany Lions had no
idea how horrid those Panthers
could become. When the Panther’s
tail had been twisted by that Lion
score 4 in the third quarter, 'it hurt
And those three fourth - period 1
touchdowns were the Panther’s way
of showing his'Presentment
. But. while it lasted it was a great
football, game. Everybody said the
Lions would play over their heads
at Pitt. And they did—until the
fuses were!blown and their power
died down in the final period. It.was.
the saipe old story. The Lions had
been licked again by. lack of re
serve strength. • ‘ ,
Pitt and State followers both got
a run for their money. This was
literally, true iriTitt’s case, too, for
every available man on the. squad
got a chance to earn his salary this
tim.c. State followers, especially
the Pittsburgh alumni, went away
well pleased,'too, for they had scon
a. real test of Lion strength
strength that-was sapped in the
last! minues of,play by the fresh
ness of the opponents’ reserves.
Greatest thrill of the day came
from a play that is ! almost as old
as football itself—the sleeper—
about which little was said in any
of the newspaper accounts -of the
game. If the score had been’ 100 to
0 in‘Pitt’s favor at-the time this
ploy which gave the. Lions their
only ;touchdown still would have
brought the stands to their feet.
The stands were in an uproar after
Wear’s 31-yard run to, the Pitt 13
when Harrison called the sleeper. It
was all over in a few seconds.
Wear’s pass to Harrison in the end

kick for the extra* point.
But that was only a sample of
the former West Philly back’s sterl
ing performace. It was only a sam
' pie of the whole Penn State 'team.

Chuck Cherundolo figured promin

Economos and Tor Toretti were at
their best at the guard positions*

Dan' DeMarino and Dean Hanley
were up to their usual strength at
the tackle posts. \
In the backficld, Wear worked
well with Harrisoti as the sleeper
proved and Joe Metro turned in the
best fullback performance of the
day. 1 Probably the most pathetic
figure was- Johnny. Patrick, who

It-was no game for the Lions to be

their progress during the past' few
years. .Until tlie line was tired, Pitt

Pitt Defeats Varsity Harriers;
4 Plebes Tie To Win, 15-to-40
Olexy Leads X-Country Teams; Gordon, Maule,
Galer, Miller Finish in Ist Place
By WOODROW W. BIERLY
Victorious for the first time over the Lion cross-country, team, Pitt’s har
riers turned in a score of 25-to-30 in the meet held over the Schcnley Park
:ourse Saturday morning:. The State freshmen took the laurels for the second
time this year when they trimmed the Panther Cutfe to the tune of 15-to-40,
f a perfect score.
Pete Olexy maintained his unde
j feated record in college dual meets
j when he won first place with a time
|of 26:42 'for the 4%-mile course. In
j the freshman meet Norman Gordon,,
Frank Maule, Hap Galer, and Gra-i
ham Miller finished in a tie with a
time of 16:13 minutes. They ran a
! three-mile route.
The defeat Saturday was the sec
! ond one of the season for the Lions
and the third since Syracuse nosed
out the N'ittany runners by a score
of 27-tc-28 in 1925. The State men
again fell Before the Orange in 1933,
20-to-35. Their first defeat of this
year was a victory for the strong
Manhattan squad, the. score, 26-to-29.
The fact that Pitt.hns never over
come the varsity may'he one reason
for the Lions’ defeat last Saturday.
The Panthers’ squad showed more
fight than the State boys expected,
despite the fact that the meet last
year was won By the Lion runners
with a one-point margin, 27-to-28.
The starting pace of the harriers
in the Saturday meet was slower than
usual. Olexy, who stepped into the
lead shortly after * the race started,
at the end ol the first three miles was
two minutes behind the time of the
Michigan State runner who won the
meet there two weeks ago.
Finishing the route in second place
was Harofd Tost of Pitt with a time
of 27:13. Tost, one of the Panther’s
crack runners, took second place in
the meet with Penn State last year,
finishing 14 seconds behind Olexy.
Alex Zamßroski of Pitt’ finished in
third place with a time of 27:18 and
Alex Leggin followed him with a rate
of 27:23. It was these three men who
clinched the meet for the Panthers.
Ray Hazard, State-sophomore, was
the second man to cross the finish for
the Nittany Lions. His time' was
27:34. George Cook placed sixth with
a time of 27:36 and was followed by
Burt Aiknian who was one second
later in crossing the mark. Len Hen
derson finished the race as the time
clock read 27:48, while’Captain How
ard Downey came in with a rate of
28:00. Placing tenth was John Wood
ruff, Pitt track star who won the 800-
| meter 1936 Olympic championship in
i Berlin- last summer. Frank Bonurati
|of Pitt, Charles Pierce of State, Til
son of Pitt and Jack Patterson. of
State were the next four to complete
the course. Their finish did not count
in tabulating the score.
After Gordon, Maule, Galer, and
Miller finished in -a four-man tie for
the freshmen, Herb Nipson finished
in fifth place with a time of 16:21.
Kvistefek and McKee of Pitt rated
Cth and 7th positions with times of
16:29 and 16:38, while Eric Van Pat
ten of the Lion plebes tock Bth. with
a 16:40 time. Chatham,'Ferrara, and
Clifford of Pitt finished on the 16:46,
17:15, and 17:21 marks respectively,
while Jim Hostettler rated 12th.

’39 Hockeyists
Defeat Juniors
Competing for the last time this
season, the sophomore hockey team
struck the wanning course for the
fifth time with a 20-to-0 score from
the juniors Thursday. Unless the sen
iors win their last two games, the
sophomore eleven will occupy first
place -cn the inter-class hockey
schedule.
The first sophomore .goal came
when Dot McAuiiffe, left wing, inter
cepted Tillie Walker’s attempt to save
a goal by Molly Fugh, during the
first half of the game. Buelah Ger
heim closely guarded all signs of jun
ior attack by her opposing halfback,
Peggy Frear, within the right field
area.
A sensational Jast-period drive by
Barbara Lewis was passed to Fran
Keesler, center forward, who tallied
with j mild interference- the second
goal for sophomore sticks.

After Western Maryland Tie
Sloppy Exhibition Given
In 3-to-3 Deadlock
On Saturday
By.E. TOWNSEND SWALM
Playing as poor soccer as has been
shown on Beaver Field in the last dec
ade, the Nittany Lion hooters were
pressed to the utmost to eke out a
3-to-.’» tie with an unknown and un
heralded Western Maryland team, on
Saturday afternoon.
True, the Lions were handicapped
by injuries particularly in the goalie
position where Dick Haag was forced
to remain out of uniform and flank
Schweitzer played his first game—
but nevertheless, Western Maryland
had little more than determination on
the ball. The Marylanders had man
aged to win one game out of four
starts previous to Saturday’s encount
er.
The'. Lions played erratic ball all
afternoon and were continually on the
defensive. Bill McEwan played his
usual brand of stellar soccer but you
can’t kick goals if you can’t get your
feet on the ball. Cooperation in the
way* of passing was conspicuous by
its absence.
Terrors Score First
Nobody seems to remember just
how long ago it was that a Lion soc
cer team was scored upon before it
got a tally. This little feat was
achieved by the Marylanders in the
first frame when Henry Record boot
ed one past Schweitzer and shocked
Nittany fans into an upright posi
tion in tHeir seats. From then on the
local boys trailed the visitors up un
til the closing minutes of the game.
Supremely confident of their invin
cability the Jeffreymen played corn
field soccer right through until the
closing minutes of the last quarter
when they suddenly woke up to the
realization that Western Maryland
was leading and they were in danger
of becoming the first Penn State soc
cer team in four years to lose a game.
From that moment on they began
to fight and showed a flash of their
innate ability with Bill MeEwan get
ting the tieing goal just before the
whistle blew. Although both teams
•fought hard during the two extra per
iods they were unable to score and
the encounter is now history as the
second -tic game this season and the
third in four years.
Outstanding Marylander was Ed
Belt who scored two goals in the see-

Just how close Penn State came to

Team Off for N. Haven
Contest Scheduled
For Tomorrow
By JERRY WEINSTEIN
Completely' revising his lineup,
Coach Bill Jeffrey led the Penn State
soccer team to New Haven today,
where the hooters will meet Yale to
morrow.
Dick Haag, goalie who was Injured
in the Syracuse game, will return to
his post. Frank Megrail, a halfback,
will advance to the forward line
where he will replace Dick Wilde at
outside right. Woody Hosterman. who
scored a goal against Western Mary
land Saturday, will start in Carl
Wacker’s position at outside left.
Perhaps the biggest change made
in the Lion lineup is that affecting
Carl Wacker. Considered one of the
best forwards to enter State in years,
Wacker was being groomed to replace
Captain Bill McEwan at center for
ward next year. But Wacker may op
pose Yale from center halfback, in
order to cover the greatest weakness
in Jeffrey’s 1936 edition.
Once thought out for the season .be
cause of a wrenched knee, Dave Wed
dell has returned to the hooters and
it is possible that he may replace'Bill
BorHa at left halfback. Another man
who may see service against the Eli
eleven is Bill Miller, a newcomer.
Still considered a strong team, Yale
has slipped this season with four de
feats, decidtdly removing the Elis
from- championship consideration.
Lack of scoring power accounted for
four Yale defeats' by one-goal mar
gins. Penn stopped Yale Saturday,
l-to-0, while Brown, Navy and Am
herst has already defeated the sup
posedly championship Blue.
Jeffrey expects his team to regain
physical strength by tomorrow . . .
