Tuesday, October 12, 1937 LION SOCCERMEN TROUNCE BUCKNELL, 6-0 Bet Ween The Lions Spirit, a thing which has been lick ing in Penn State football teams for severai .neasons, returned to the Nit 'tany Lions Saturday. It milts this factor which resulted in the Lions overcoming two Bucknell leads that enabled Coach Bob llikgins to place his team among the leaders of the east. , Despite the exuberance of the play r ere, "coaches. and fans, there are Sev eral pitfalls scheduled for late Octo ber and all of NoVember. . 'Syracuse, under a new conch, will present an ominous bonier to the Blue and White 'Oct. 30. Then comes Penn, Maryland, and Pitt. The first two may result in victories if. Stati Can pro duce again. A triumph over the Pan- . timers is almost too much. to hope for. While the entire team played well Saturday; there were a few who• took the hearts of 'the. crowd with, their playing. Windy Wear will'. go down in history as one of Penn State's greatest backs. His play in the second quarter Was one of the most spectheu .seen on New Beave? field. Just as he spark-plugged several other Lion victories, so did he come through against Bucknell. Harry Harrison was shown to Nit tany fans in another role. Instead of getting off the lane) , runs, Harry was a bulwark on the .defense. His pu r nts more than matched those of the , Buck nell ace, Bill Lane. Sammy Donato played a bruising game. His is the type of duty which is not seen by the average fan -. . . Alex Barantovich is a grand football player .• Grover Washabangh is coming along . . .

IN STATE -COLLEGE Megrail Tops Scoring With Three Tallies Sol Mighoff Scores On 25-Yard Drive In Last Quarter By ROY NICHOLS Penn State's, soccermen added an other victory to their undefeated string of four , years When they trounced the Bisons'6-0 on -New Bea ver field Saturday afternoon. Frank Megrail led the Lions' sear ing•with three goals and was 'closely followed by Carr Wacker who, play ing his most brilliant game, tallied two scores. -Sol Miehoff, captaining the hooters to their second win of the season, spectacularized the game with a 25-yard, shot that arced into the top of the net. Yale to Decide ;Although • Bucknell offered 'consid erably more opposition than did Get tysburg the previous week, neverthe less it remains to Yale next Satur day to determine the caliber of Coach Bill Jeffrey's 1937 team. If the boot ers take Yale, they should have no difficulty completing the season unde feited. Wacker started the scoring in the first quarter when he took a pass crossed by . Jack Mallory and drove the ball past Diblin: Bucknell goalie. Megrail Scores Twice That:waS \ all for the Lions in that period, for although they threatened Diblin four times again, they failed to convert. But in the second quar ter, Megrail tallied two. His first was centered to him from Mallory. The second, which followed about five minuted. later, was passed to him by Miehoff. The-State play of the - first half was largely offensive. Only twice did Haag handle the hall at the- goal. Jack Mallory played no little part in State's scoring. Three of, the Li- Ons' goals were scored after accurate cross-shots from his outside left po sition. In the third quarter Mallory received the ball from Spyker, left halfback, and, passed a long shot to' 'Wacker who dribbled the ball through both .Bucknell fullbacks,and. tallied the fourth 'goal. Jeffrey Shifts Schuler A looping shot from Wacker ac counted for the next marker in the same period when Megrail took the ball on the head and bounced it into the upper. right corner of the net. Early in the last quarter, Jeffrey sent Weddell in at right fullback and moved Schuler up into center - half, shifting Davies to right' half in place of Mindel. Schuler's well-timed kicks had previously staved off many of Bucknell's' offensives.. In the center half Position, Schuler had but one time to display his accurate and clev er footwork, for State's line had the ball most of, the time. That time he made a long hard kick that looked like a sure shot, but Diblin jumped high, and pushed it over the top of the goal. Within the next two minutes, Mie hoff made his 25-yard boot for the Lions' final score. Once more did the Nittany banters threaten 'to tally. Miller, subbing for Megrail, drove a shot at the net. Diblin stopped the ball but dropped it in front of the goal, then pushed it out a few yards. I A return kick was blocked by Buck inell'i left fullback who quickly beet ed the ball Out of danger. State's Two Mighty 'Midget' Signal-Callers ._~~ HARRY HARRISON These two Lion signal-callers take turns in baffling the opposing defense. and provide the State team with the spark that has made itself evident by the number of touchdowns they have scored. Although lacking in weight, they make up for it in speed, ball-carrying ability, fi eld gener- WINDY WEAR alship, and aggressiveness Nittany Grid Team Defeats Bisons On Rain-Soaked Field (Continued from 2mige one) the field: It could not be determined yesterday for hew long he will be out. Besides Harrison, Joe Metro "and Johnny Patrick scored the other two Lion Aonchdowns, with Ben Pollock accounting for two of the three ex tra points. Pollock's place kicking may mean that State's dearth of ex tra points will come to an end. Donato and Bucknell's co-captain, Enio Conti, made it 'a fraternity re union when they shook hands before the opening kickoff. Then wittiin the first seven minutes, for the third game in a row, State pushed over its first score. Harrison Scores First Marker Harrison carried the ball front be hind his goal line to State's 26-yard stripe on the first kickoff. Then, after Harrison and Metro carried the. pig skin to Bucknell's 36, Barry punted oyer the 'Bison goal .line. The Blue and White line, holding like. a Hol land dyke, forced Lane to kick on the third down. Barantovich brok e through to partially 'block 'the punt and ,it was downed, on Bucknell's Taking advantage of the break, Harrison's three-yard off tackle thrust and Patrick's 12-yard scoot around end on a reverse from Metro, put the ball in position for Harry's 20-yard touchdown jaunt. The Lions were forced far back into their own territory, after an ex change of punts, by a 15-yard penalty for holding and a fumble of the slip pery oval. for a ten-yard loss. Harri son punted almost to midfield and To masetti brought the ball back to the State 28. Lane Scores for Lasers A 24-yard,pass from Tomasetti to Lane put the ball in position for Lane to plow into State's-forward wall twice 'to ring up six points for the Bisons. George Mick placekicked the point after. - • This one point Jooked plenty big until the Rabbit, .whd went in for Harrison early in the Second quarter, got going. -Play see-sawed back and forth most of the Xecond period until, through the combined efforts of Lloyd Ickes, Metro, and the 135-pounder, the ball was put on Bucknell's 20- yard stripe. Here Mr. Wear's little boy pulled one of the craziest plays ever nesscd on New Beaver field. The 11,- 000 drenched nail-biters had 'just seen Joe Adessa have the wet ball slip through his hand on two forward I pass attempts. But Windy was go mg to try it again. Wear Makes Thrilling Play - He, faded back to sling another pass, but three Bisons. came thunder ing down on him. Windy wheeled around and ran toward his own goal line, almost up to midfield, pursued by a host of Bisons. He switched his field again and started what seemed to be a hopeless trek back toward the Bueknell goal line. After a nice downfield block by an undetermined Lion, the Rabbit found himself in a 'position to do what he started out to do. He heaved an ac curate pass into the anxious arms of Adessa, who had waited •patiently on the one-yard line. Metro's line plunge for the score served as an anti-cli max. Pollock converted and the half time score was Penn State 13, Buck nell 7.' The third period found the 'two ri vals waiting for' the other to make the break, and• the break came for Bucknell when Harrison took Lane's punt on his own ten-yard line and THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN 17- - •;::t..`-:`, ' ran it back 15 yards. Harry fumbled The muddy ball when he was tackled and Funair recovered , for the Bisons just as the quarter ended. - A series of line plays pig the oval in position for Will Jones' toss to Harry Wenner to tic the score. Mar ty Quick's placement broke the dead lock. After a couple of fumbles,. Harri son and Patrick started things roll ing again. Wear came back into the game for (Harrison and 'picked up where Harry had left off. It was a 45-yard march with Wear' and Pat rick toting the ball, aided by Tim Wi ble's fumble recovery .that saved the ball for State. Windy's 27-yard skirt of left end put the ball on the seven-yard line. An off-side five-yard penalty brought' the ball back to the 12, but the Rabbit took. it right back to the'five around right end. After he gained a yard off tackle, with three and one-half minutee to go Wear crossed up the Bucknell defense when he pulled a weak-side.—reverse to Patrick—and Lion fans went nutty when the ref-' pee waved his muddy arms.

Football Inaugural,7-0 Alpha Sigma Phi Sunk By Bullet Pass In Second Period A 15-yard bullet pass midway in the secomi half broke the monotony of a stalemated struggle and gave Alpha Chi Sigma a 7-0 victory over Alpha Sigma Phi in the opener of the intramural grid season on the football practice field Friday. With the ball on the enemy 15-yard stripe as the result of a sustained march down the field, Harold Meyer faded back and whipped a 15-yard aerial to Durand David, who snared the oval on the - 10 and sprinted across the goal line for the lone score of the game. Another pass, Meyer to Miles Colwell, added the point. With the exception of this touch down play, the tussle was lfitterly fought, the ball see-sawing back and forth during the two 20-minute pe riods. , Speed, Passes Stressed Despite the handicap of inexperi ence under the new "streamlined" rules, both teams performed above expectations, unreeling a wide-open drama of flying feet and whirring pigskins. In line with the aims of the Intramural hoard. speed and pass ing were stressed throughout the game. Highlighting the tussle was a dis play of razzle-dazzle by the Chi Sigs in the first half. Meyer had dropped back to his own 30-yard line to punt on last down, when an Alpha Sig lineman partially blocked the kick. Seizing the free ball, George Barton, Chi Sig back, steamed toward the goal line—but the wrong one. His sense of direction righted by howling fraternity brothers, Barton pivoted and raced back toward the scrimmage I ine. Threat Fails It. was then that the Chi Sigs un corked a wild series of passes in all directions only to have an over-anx ious receiver drop an aerial on the Alpha Sigma Phi 40-yard line and give it possession of the ball at the point where play began. The Alpha Sigs failed to capitalize on the bt'eak, however, as their deepest thrust into enemy territory wilted under a stub born defense. With the preliminary technicalities ironed out, the football season is. ex pected to progress at a faster pace, John C. Miller, intramural manager, said last night. Meanwhile, players were Warned by Miller to get their physical eligibility cards.

While the scoreboard showed that the freshmen won by only one touch down. statistics show a more exacting picture of the power of McAndrews' charges. The figures show that the offensive machine plowed its way to 12 first downs as the defense halted the Kiski attack to two. White terminated a 37-yard drive by scoring early in the second quar ter. Chuck Peters broke up a punt ing duel in the first period between White and Brooks when he took one of Brooks' punts on his 25-yard line and, behind good blocking, raced 38 yards to Kiski's 37. With'Peters and Beahm carrying the ball, the year lings plunged the ball to the 20 when the quarter ended. White Plunges for Score Changing goals, Sam Kopaeh tossed a short pass to Vargo, left end, to the 16. Then, on an end around play, Vargo skirted right end for a 12-yard gain to the 4. White then plunged through left tackle for the score. Pat rick failed to convert the extra point. An exchange of punts gave Kiski the ball on their own 39-yard strike. Brooks passed to Rogan for 9 yards and Hazel plunged to midfield for his team's first down. Kopach stopped the drive when he intercepted. a pass on his 47 and ran back to Kiski's 38. Brooks Runs 71 Yards Two plunges at the line gained two yards, and then Beahm dropped back and rifled a pass intended for Vargo. Brooks, however, speared the ball on his 20-yard line to race down the sidelines for 71 yards and a score. Acting-captain Torn Snaith, guard, broke through to block Dunkle's try -for extra point. State's winning drive began soon after the third quarter opened and culminated a 58-yard march. An ex change of punts and a long quick kick by Brooks gave the yearlings posses sion of the ball on their own 42. An off-side penalty and White's fake kick put the ball in Kisld territory. White and Peters, alternating with the ball, 'brought 'it up to the 38. White squirmed and twisted Ins way through the line and secondary to the 27. On a double reverse, White again took the ball and gained another 11 yards to Itiski's 16. In the most spec tacular play of the game, Peters plunged over right tackle into the sec ondary, cut sharply to the left, avoid ing two would-be tacklers, and scored standing up. Patrick's place kick was good to put State ahead 13-6. 2 Rallies Fail The Lion cubs staged 'two last'qUar ter scoring threats but Kiski tight ened and held.

A reverse and a 15-yard pen alty for unnecessary roughness, put the ball on Kiski's 23. Successive plunges by Kopach, Beahm, and Hoff man placed the ball on the 20. Beahm snaked thrdugh center, past the secondary, to the 9-yard line. Ko pach, running wide around end, came up to the line of scrimmage, was hit and stopped, but again moved and crossed the goal., However, the ref eree ruled that Sam was downed on the/9.
