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.

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. The yearling five will play Dick-
inson Seminary, Carnegie Tech fresh

to the Coach.
Said one frishman: How is the
game up here, Bill,:pretty rough?

Batsmen Cop 25 Out of 33
Over Brilliant 2- Year Span
Rid:ng the crest of an eight-gaine
winning streak extending from 1.036,
Penn State's rampaging baseball team
notched an even dozen victories in 16
starts last season to compile one of
the most impressive records in east
ern collegiate baseball annals.
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.
