Particular mention should be made
of a few linemen who stood out in a

driving work on, both offense and de
fense, almost -made Lion - fans 'forget
that he was replacing-the injured Co-,

Barantovich proved that he is the
only end on whom Coach Higgins can
depend for consistent _good play. Ell
wood, for the little time he was in the
game in the last 'quarter', certainly
made things uncomfortable for , the

Jeffrey Names
Soccer Line-up
By ROY NICHOLS
With the opening contest of the
1937 soccer season less than a week
away, Coach Bill Jeffrey. has named
his starting line-up. Veterans will
fill all but two positions.
Only one ' sophomore will start
against Gettysburg on Saturday. 'He
will be Bob ,Schuler, clever fullback
who replaces 'Phil Barnes, graduated
all-Eastern fullback. Bill . Borda will
be at his regular position, left full
back.
Mallory to Start
The other newcomer in Jeffrey's
line-up is Jack Mallory, a senior.
'Mallory won the nod from Jeffrey
after a close tussle with Dick Wilde,
an outside left veteran.
Overcoming a handicap for any
soccer player,' especially a goalie,
Dick Haag will wear• unbreakable
glasses when he guards the net in
the opener. If needed, either Hank
Schweitzer or Jim Ickes can .replace
Haag.
Megrail at Center
Frank Megrail will take the pivot
post with Captain Sol MiehotT at his
left and Ab Taylor on the right. Carl
Wacker will appear _in his usual posi
tion, outside right. Jim Schaeffer, a
sophomore, may break into the for
ward line.
Halfbacks will be .Fred Spyker,
left; Walt Painter, center; and Eddie
Mandel, right.
BETWEEN THE LIONS
It's going to be very hard to become
enthusiastic about this year's Penn
State football team all 'over again.
It's going to be hard for the players
to become enthusiasitc, too.
Saturday's loss to Cornell stands out
as one of the bitterest disappointments
to State football ambition that has
been felt here for some time. To carry
a squad of chagrined players back to
the proper psychological heights, to
salvage !from the year what they may
is going to be a difficult task.
Two glaring weaknesses evidenced
themselves Saturday—pass defense
and end defense. There appears to be
no particular reason why these two
departments can't be brushed up on
before the team takes the field again.
But one wonders when he hears that
pass defense was gone over thoroughly
in practice and that a passing game
was expected from Cornell.
If Saturday's pass defense was the
result of pass defense practice, it
might be well to "call the wholelhing,
off." At most it's mighty discourag
ing.
Cornell was everything Saturday
that -Penn State wasn't. More plagued
by loss of ability through ineligibility
and injuries that were the Lions, the
Big Red showed an amazing assort-
Mint of power blocking and heads-up
ball to run rough-shod over the locals
until the final four minutes or. so of
play. The 23-4 first down superiority
is indicative the way the game .ran.
With the exception of four brilliant
coups, it was all Cornell. Hardly a
pleasant realization with which to em
bark on seven more games.
It is significant that Cornell has
made rapid strides over her strength
of last year. They developed what they
A SECOND BASEMAN unwittingly tips off
each pitch to the batter, and his team

his shirt or someone hollers "Come on, Hank,"
and an entire team knows the next play.
Signals run a ball game, and signals can ruin
a game when a smart opponent steals them

had, put aside their headaches, and
Caine up with a creditable outfit.
Perhaps State rooters were expect
ing too much from what they had.
Certainly this optimism was enter
tained 'by players and coaches. Per
haps we haven't got any more than
was displayed Saturday. The rest of
the season will tell that story.
But it is significant that State has
not improved over last year with vir
tually the same personnel. And Cornell
has improved with the sonic personnel.
So Cornell won.
And once more State is down in the
dumps. 'qhe,,year" :Wems not to have
arrived. It's pretty hard for the
wisher not to get disgusted, for the
rooter 'not to become discouraged. One
lesson will remain—that of building
false hopes. The game was not as
close Saturday as the score indicated.
Higgins To Speak
Coach Bob Ilittgins will discuss the
Gettysburg football game at the Penn
State Club's cider-pretzel party to be
given in the Old Main Sandwich Shop
at 8 o'clock Saturday,evening. George
'Baker, social chairman in charge of
the affair, urges all non-fraternity
meli to attend with their parents.
Freshman committees for the com
ing year will be appointed at the
meeting. Russell G. Gohn, president,
outline the activities of the club
for the ensuing year.
