ROOTERS TAKE YALE, 2-0, FOR THIRD WIN
Officials Stumped But
TKE Finally Wins, 3-0
In a-game that ended under'a
of indecision,„ Tau Kappa Epsilon
edged Alpha Phi Delta, three first .
downs to . none. , .
With neither 'team able to dent the
scoring none; the . game 'ended , in a
scoreless deadlock. A huddle 'of the
officials resulted in a decision to play
an mitia four-d Own Period. Alpha Phi
Delta then apparently backed - up to-a
victory when it failed to gain an - inch
while TKE -lost 2a- yards. Another
official 'declaim on the following day,
however, ruled, out the extra' period,
gave ,TKE the-victory on a margin in
first downs. .
Dr. Elwood C. Davis will deliver his
19th talk of the‘semetiter when he,
speaks ,"Modern Trendo.in.Health

By BRUCE TRABUE
'Hitting the 1937' cross country sea
son' in their best stride, the Lion team
ran', through an inferior Lehigh here
Saturday„, to win the opening meet
score, 15-40.
Presenting a track-wide wall, five

BeaVer'Field coming in near the end
Of the third quarter of the State-Le
high football game to end the race in
dead heat-time, 28 minutes and 37
seconds. -These five, CaPtain Pete
Olexy,_,lferb Hazzard, Norm Gordon,
Frank Manle, and Charles Pierce,
were followed by 'Herb Nipson in 28,56
and, then by Morgan Elmer, Lehigh,
in 29:11.

get started again, as the other Lion
harriers leading the group also slow
ed their pace to give their captain
time to catch tip and break the tape
with his team Mates, preserving his
record unbroken.
Following Elmer, as the seventh man
to arrive at the tape, were three other
Lions, Graham Miller, Chuck McGlin
sey, and Harry Wear. The remainder
of the engineer team were Captain
Fred Tompkins and Eddie Hurst, let
termen, Bob Keating, Larry Oster
houdt, Don' Santmeyer, and William
Scott, newcomers to the team.
Coach Chick Werner still worried
about the Lion's chances throughout
the season attributed the Nittanyites
overwhelming victory to better bal
ance'and more experience, says that
the team is not yet definitely chosen,
and that more time trials will he held
today. Freshman trials will be also
held at the same time.
Between
The Lions
Rabbit Wear, - Penn State's 135
pound quarterback, has weathered
two batterings from Pittsburgh's
husky forwards, and for two seasons
.has stood up against the pounding of
hefty linemen from Penn, Cornell, and
Syracuse.
Until the Lehigh game last . week
Wear had always been ready for duty
when Coach Bob Higgins waved to
.his midget signal . callerfor relief work
in the second or fourth quarter.
It was Wear who passed for one
touchdown and ran 65 yards which led
to another against Cornell in the . final
period. It was Wear whose brillant
pass, 'after being chased backward
andforward. for 50 yards, defeated
Bucknell.
When Penn States attack bogged
down against the Brown and White
from Lehigh on Saturday, home fans
were 'calling for Rabbit Wear to enter
the' game an as usual sparkplug the
Nittany Lions in a whirlwind finish.
But Rabbit was a forlorn figure
on the bench. For the •first time in his
playing career he was .definitely a
bench warmer. He had dislocated a
vertebra on the afternoon before—

Determination of Elis
To Cover Megaril
Opens Defense
Another victory, =Other mile
post in the 1937 soccer season
successfully- passed. That was
'the outcome of Penn State's
third game when the Lions jour
neyed- to New Haven to mete
Dut a 2-0 defeat to the Bulldogs
of Yale on Saturday....
Av Taylor opened the scoring
for the Jeffreymen when he
sank a rebound from the cross-bar in
the - first quarter.' Mieboir had at
tempted the shot that Taylor con
verted. •
MieliofT. Tallies
The score remained 1-0 until the
next period. Then, Miehoff snared a
pass from Taylor and tallied the last
point for the Lions: Later in the
game, both Taylor and Miehoff came
close to scoring when - their shots hit
the cross-bar.
Obviously, Yale had heard of Frank
Megrail as State's only dangerous
scoring menace, for the Elis, in their
determination to keep him covered,
often sacrificed the efficiency of their
defense. It was this that led to the
tallies and serious threats by Mie
hoff and Taylor. . '•
Defense Shines
. For State, Bob Schuler, Walt Pain
ter,, and Fred Spyker'sparkled on the
'defense. Phelps, playing a good game
at goal"for Yale, was hard-pressed by
the brilliant attaelcs•of MieholT, Tay
lor, and Carl Wacicer. On the Yale
line, the work of Erikson and Pond
was outstanding.
'The Jeffreymen's passing attacks
were both 'clever and deceptive. . The
team functioned with its usual com
plete organizationthe greatest asset
to any Soccer team.
Next-Game With Temple
Philadelphia will be, the scene of
the next booting battle when the Li
ons meet
. Temple on Sz4rday. The
Owls dropped to „Franklin and Mar-
Shp.
opponent, Temple is expected to throw
little obstruction in the Lions''path of
victories.
Coach Bill Jeffrey believes the Syr
cease game will be the, climax of the
season, with the possibility that the
Army contest will present an anti
climax. The West Pointers topped
Syracuse, 1-0, while Springfield, al
ways, a top-notcher, handed the Or
ange its second defeat by a 3-2 score.

31-0, As Whole Squad Shines
' Marty McAndrews' grid freshmen rode over to Bucknell Saturday to
ride roughshod over a weak Bucknell eleven to the tune of 31-0 before a Dad's
Day crowd of 1,200. The yearlings were complete masters of the afternoon,
gaining 11 first doWns as against two for the Baby Bisons, and keeping the
Bucknellians under the shadow of'theirgoal-posts throughout the game.
The Bisons were able to work the ball into State territory but twice.
Clark, substitute back, advanced the ball 15 yards on a reverse to State's 40-
yard line in, the second quarter. It ugh the line and then sliced

Patrick failed for the extra point.
Subs Score
' McAndrews put in a complete new
ream to start the last period, The
subs, scrapping for a starting berth
in the lineup, wasted no time in open
ing their offense against the tiring
Bisons. An exchange of punts gave
the State- yearlings possession on
Bucknell's • 95. Ted Stychalski, Ted
Snyder, and Hoffman found holes in
Ithe line and brought the ball to the
!Bisons' 22 in 'seven plays.
.Hoffman dropped back and complet
ed a pass to Stychalski on the six.
Stychalski fought his way to the two
and Hoffman crashed to the half-yard
line. Stychalski found a hole at left
guard and plunged through for the
score. Snyder failed to convert. .
A bad pass from center- resulting
in a fumble opened the road for
State's last tally. Back on his 25-
yard line, Dueger, Bucknell, dropped
a low snap-back and was downed on
the 23. The-yearlings took the ball
on downs end rushed it to the 15. A
pass, Stychalski to White, resulted in
the touchdown. Snyder place kicked
the extra point.
Peters Runs 70 Yards
On State's first play, acting captain
Chuck Peters cut through right tackle,
reversed his field to the sidelines and
slipped past the safety man to cross
the goal line standing up after• a bril
liant 70-yard run. However, the score
didn't count inasmuch as Referee
Hahn ruled that Chuck stepped on
the sideline on Bucknell's 45.
The Lions advanced to the 30 and
called on Craig ,Atihite to kick. He
punted to the sidelines, and the ball
rolled out of bounds on the Bisons'
two-yard stripe. Serrao dropped back
behind his goal to punt out of danger,
but the entire State front wall crash
ed through to block the kick. George
Smith, guard, fell on the ball to give
State the lead, 6-0. Johnny Patrick's
try for extra point went wide.
Kniaz Recovers
Another blocked punt paved the
way for the Lions'.second score. With
the ball on his 29-yard line, Serrao
booted-to State's 35. The Bisons took
an offside penalty against the Nit
tony, team which brought the' ball
back to their own 34'with four to go
for a first down. A plunge netted a
yard and ,again Serrao dropped back
to punt.
Again the entire line ripped through
to block Serrao's kick and Wally
Kniaz, tackle, recovered for State on
the Bisons' 29. Harvey Beahm, on
a fake reverse, knifed over center to
the 25, where he fumbled, and Ship
