Tuesday, September 14, 1937 Nittany Lion Basket BETWEEN THE LIONS -It's a very ,rare occurrence' When scrubs get a chance to shine. - Probably for the first time in many a year, the foptball scrub 'who rides the bench In a' ganie, - nevet: gets his name' in. the p4er, acts as a hunian' tackling dummy during tfie week, and generally, takes a pretty geod, beat ing along }yith it all,, came for some glory on New Beaver •field.. , • The only hitch is that it 'wa'sri't just aprub: - It•was a whole team•of scrubs. Starting the first full practice scrimmage held by the Nittany Lions this year, the third and last team ap peared to be in for u good workout as the second Leath marched .to a ,touchdown in. a few plays Saturday. Then'Alie outlook became darker when the bigger and better first team went into the game against the scrubs. Taking the ball near•its own goal line, the scrub team went right down the field to score a touchdown against the touted regulars. Although it wasn't a scrub who.di rected the plays and 'had a great parti in the amazing performance, it was ten scrubs who made it possible and a mighty scrubby scrub who actu ally notched the score. Windy Wear, too small to play full time and thus used as'a sparkplug in stead of a starter, was the quarter back. It was Windy's runs that car ried the scrubsdown the field' and Windy's throws which made the final impression. • But the men behind it all ,were the backs who were running interference and the linemen who were opening the holes. And it was Angelo Conte, an end who plays-for .the fun of it, whO ; caught two of Wear's perfect pegs on the last two plays. .Conte's second catch was as much responsible for the touchdown as was Wear's great pass. Conte took the ball out .of .the hands of a swarm of first team defenders,' ' • It all goes 'to prove that even a scrub can-have his day. It should be remembered that if it weren't for the scrubs, there. wouldn't •be any finely trained and ready-to-go first team.

Although football always takes most of the fall sports interest at Penn State as well as any other place, there is a team competing in the fall which deserves all the attention in the world. For years , . Penn State's soccer team has been among the best in the country. The Lions have not suffered a defeat since 1932, and few teams, if any, can boast of such a record. The man responsible for all this is Bill Jeffrey, a native Scotsman who has been playing the game ever since he :was able to walk. He is one of the outstanding college soccer ex pe'rts in the game. Bill has turned out all-Americans year after year, and how he does it is remarkable to see. Bill is the quiet type of coach. who uses 'suggestion and not command as a means of get ting results. - He never drills his team; rather, he just goes out and plays a friendly game of soccer. Any student interest in soccer this year will not go wasted. < 'Whether or not Jeffrey will turn out another un beaten team cannot be predicted. At any rate, the Lions will be something to watch. Here They Are-- They 'll Cover Fall Sports Here's a -blueprint of the Col legian men who will cover the fall sports calendar: Barb Cahan, Alan Mclntyre Football Roy Nichols Soccer Sal Sala___L_Freshman FOotball Bill Joachim ' Cross-Country John Troanoviteh, Tom Boal, 'Bruce .Tralme Intrarrin'ArS. all Team Cagers Begin With 3-Game Ohio Circuit Squad Loses Only One Man; Prospects Look Bright Penn State's basketball team will start its 1937-38 campaign with a three-game trip into Ohio during the Christmas holidays. • Coach Johnny Lawther's five will face 18 opponents, one more than last year, and the greatest number since 1929. The schedule, as announced by Ber nard J. .Burkett '3B, opens with the University of Akron, at Akron, 0., on December 31: On the 31st the team meets Kent State Teachers Col lege at Kent, 0., and on New Year's Day the Lions face Western Reserve in Cleveland. _ This will enable the team to get- in more actual play before the Penn game than last year. The- Lawther men play Penn January 5 in Phila delphia and, with a veteran team re turning, hope to avenge last year's 41-33 'defeat the hands of the Qua kers. Rutgers Replaces Yale Yale is replaced on the schedule by Rutgers, which State has beaten only cnce in four previous meetings. The Ells eked out a 33-31 win over the Lions last season, making the sen son's total losses seven out of seven teen contests. Jay McWilliams is the only regu lar lost by graduation, and prospects look bright for Lawther's second year as the Lion court coach. The Blue and White finished third to Pitt and Temple in the 1936-37 Eastern Col legiate Conference race. The members' of the Conference beside State, with whom one home and one away game are played, are Pitt, Temple, Carnegie Tech, West Virginia, and Georgetown. At the same time that, the varsity schedule was made known, the fresh man six-game card was also announ ced.

Well fortified in pitching strength with Frank Smith and Benny Simon celli, the Lions rang. up 26 wins in 33 games over the two-year span: Aiding in the 1035 drive was tower ing Bill Ford, who has been signed V the Boston Bees. Smith, who was named State's most outstanding athlete just before he was graduated last June, and Si moncelli, captain-elect of next year's nine, each contributed an even half lozen wins last spring. Simoncelli capped the successful campaign with a brilliant two-hit masterpiece against Syracuse in the season finale here. Fer eight and one-third in nings, he hurled no-hit, no-run ball. Miehoff, Sparkplug of Team Sparkplug of the team's offense was diminutive Sol 'Miehoff, star three-sport man and captain-elect of this fall's soccer team. 3liehoff's bat provided State with a scorebook full of •runs and his flawless fielding spik ed numerous enemy threats.. Rounding out the first team were Co-captain Mike Kornick, catcher; Mel Vonarx, first base; George Sla bodian, second base; Johnny Waters, third base; Harry Harrison, 'short stop; Ray Brake, center field; and Joe Adessa, right fled. Others who saw considerable action were Nick Wessel, Windy Wear, Don Crossin, Joe Didinger,. Bob Steckel, and Herb Peterson. The batsmen, coached by Joe Be denk, bombed George Washington and Navy in their season inaugural, then slumped suddenly at the plate, bowing to 'Princeton and barely edg ing West Virginia twice and Colgate before 'losing a pair to Gettysburg and Villanova. Emerging from their hitless spell, the Lions clawed Army, Sesque hanna, Western Maryland, Muhlen berg, and 13ucknell in 'Pell-mell fa shion, before being nipped by Temple in a thrill -teemed extra-inning . de bacle. Victories over 'Bucknell and Syracuse climaxed the year.
