BETWEEN THE LIONS
Tomorrow's football game between Penn State and Eucknell will see the
renewal of one of the oldest intercollegiate sports relationships.
-In 1881, before` either college officially adopted football, the two teams
met, with Penn State emerging the victor. Then, in 1887, the series really
began. -
It is interesting to-note that the Lions and Bisons clashed in 1888, but
the gnme'was ruled out of the records.' It seems that a referee's decision was
disputed and both teams left the field before the, contest was over.
Until last year, when the Nittany Lions chalked up an impressive 14-0
victory, Bucknell dominated the modern version of the old rivalry. Penn
State's—lastiriumph before 1936 Was recorded in 1926.
And 'it was one of•the most spectacular plays in football that led to
State'g victiii7 on New;Beaver field
last year. Johnny Patrick, then a
sophoinore, task
_the operiink kickoff
and soniped 94 yards for 'a touch
down.
- In the'two Meeting's preceding last
year's, Bucknell scored two,. victories
in...games...featured by, Penn . State's
disorganized playing.: , In 1935, play-
Bucknell's concrete stadium" on
*bitter; Celt; day,'-the -Bisona,.'eked , , out
a disheartening 2-0 decision.
'• 'The game tomorrow means much
for both teams. For Bucknell, it will
mark . the first - major-engagement of
the season after none too impressiVe
victories over Ursintls and Lebanon
Valley, two small lteams: Those who
witnessed these frays, were dismayed
by the Bisons' showing.
For- Penn State, tomorrow's 'game
provides the first fairly' stiff test.
since the Cornell battle'in which the
Lions' dropped a 26-19 game to the
team-touted as the best in the coun
try.; If the Lions can defeat Buck
nell, it means that 'the first half of
the season will have been completed
in •winning style. 'The next encoun-
and
ter with Lehigh looms as a Nittany
triumph. •
The grid coaches claim that Buck
nail has a tough team.. On the Bi
sons' performances, however, the op
posite is indicated: It's true that the
Bucknell-State battle is always tra
ditionally hard-fought, but ,we still
think ;the Higgins-coached team has
too' much 'Oa 'the 'ball 'far" the'eleven
Under a new 'coach.
Without the bat of an eye, we pick
the Nittany Liens, by three tonal
downs. . • .
Penn State's freshman football
team will open its season with the
always strong Kislci Prep team tomor
row morning.' The performance of
the yearlings will be interesting to
watch. •
Admitted the " new 'crop of Lion
gridders .is..-the biggest and toughest
to. wear the freshman green in many
years. The 00-man squad boasts
many well-known names.
Coach Marty .McAndrews has se
lected two teams of practically equal
strength. He expects to use them al
ternately in additiOn to,.eight or nine
other players. There is. a singular
purpose in this strategy.
Fundamentally,. the idea of fresh
man football. is to develop players for
the varsity. This will' be McAndrews'
aim. To win games will be a side
issue. • We hope it works.

Heavy Cub Eleven
Outweighed; Ranks
Ripped By Injuries
Marty McAndrews' 1937 edition of freshman footballers wilt
open its season against Kiski tomorrow at 10 o'clock on New Bea
ver field before the critical eyes of'homecoming
McAndrews was well pleased with the showing his yearlings
made against the experienced and drilled varsity in scrimmages
held in the past weeki. HiVever, the'
injury jinx that has haunted Higgins,
and his varsity equad since their sea
son opened, has caught up with the
freshmen and reduced the team to a
skeleton of its former self.
Planning to use two or more men
at every position during a single
game, Marty now has difficulty in
placing a starting team on the field.
For tomorrow's tilt, McAndrews
plans to use Tom Vargo at left end
with Parsons on the other side. At
left tackle Marty selected Walt Kni
az
. and Frank Plat at right tackle.
Snaith and Smith will be at left and
right guard, respectively, while Abe
Karlin will hold down the center pc,
sition.
In the backfield, Chuck Peters and
Chia. White will play at half nosi
dons with Harvey Beahm at fullback
and John Patrick calling signals.
That, so far, is McAndrews' strong
est eleven. •For replacements; Marty
is at a loss as to who should go on.
Lefty Covey, a promising passer and
ball carrier, will be out for a week
with a sprained ankle, while Bob
Crowell, end, will watch the game
from .the bench with a leg injury. _
Harry Dennis. a six-foot4our, 219 ;
pound tackle, was developing into a
hard-driving linesman when—studies
called a halt to his activities. John
Barr sustained a severe knee injury,
similar' to that of John Economos,
and will not see action this year.
Barr was one of 'Marty's best pass
receivers. -
The average weight of the team is
180 pounds while •their height is 5
-feet, 11 inches. The yearling_ line
from end to end averages the scale
at 185 pounds while rising to a 5-foot,
11-inch height. The backfield combi
nation stands just 6 feet and weighs
176 pounds.
While this seems to stand out as a
fairly powerful - combination, Kiski
comes here with a line averaging ap
proximately 192 pounds and with a
0-0 game under their belts.
St. Vincelit freshmen held the repu
tedly strongest prep school eleven in
the east to a scoreless tie last Satur
day.. Kiski appeared on its way to a
score once or twice but was stopped
by a stubborn defense. - The Prep
school used all power plays in the
first three quarters • but resorted to
the air in the last period in a vain ef
fort to store. •

Lineup Intact
Jeffrey Forsees Second
Victory Of Year
Tomorrow
By ROY NICHOLS
Practically the same lineup that
overwhelmed Gettysburg; last week
will take the field tomorrow when the
Lien soccermen meet Bucknell on
New Beaver field at 1 o'clock.
Coach Bill Jeffrey feels sure that
the team has what it takes for a vic
tory. He is not so sure, however,
that the -easy win of last week may
not have had an over-inflating effect
upon the team.
Mandel to Start
Dick Haag, goalie whose dislocated
shoulder kept him out of the Gettys
burg. fray, may play, although in
scrimmage this week he still favored
his injury. Eddie Mandel, right half
back, will be among the starters. Ed
die played the last quarter of the
game with the Bullets, and has now
completely recovered from his cold.
Except for the goal position, which
is still undecided, the lineup will he:
Jack Mallory, outside left; Capt. Sol
Miehoff, inside left; . Frank Megrail,
' center forward; Av Taylor, inside
right; Carl Wacker, outside right;
Fred Spyker, left halfback; Walt
Painter, 'center halfback; Eddie. Man
del, right halfback; Bill Borda, left
fullback; and Bob Schuler, right full
back.
Bucknell opened its season last week
by defeating Rider College, 3-1 . . .
The Bison coach, Joe Reno, had, eight
vacancies to fill at the beginning of
the season . . . Harriet Kalar will
again start the ball rolling . . . The
Lions downed Bucknell 6-0 last year.
