Coming out ,of the hills at the 2- Mile mark in the s:mile race, Tom Ty nan,,Manhattan sophomore, gained. a 100-yard lead over his nearest com petitor, Prank Maule, of Penn State.

Olexy Record Tumbles The Jaspers, rated. as.either first or second among -American cross-coun try teams, proved to be, a little too much for Olexy, five of. them . finish ing. ahead of the hitherto unbeaten star. Olexy won the dual meet with Manhattan .last, year, when. he trdz versed thocotirse in the time of 25.08, as compared to this year's time of 30.23, and he did , the - course - in 26.40* when he took second. place in the 1.

Following them in ninth' plate came Norm Gordon for the Lions; tenth and eleventh, Lawrence Mariaciiyi and' Gene Calm of Manhattan, follovied by Herb Nipson and Jim Hostetter. of Penn State. Point score for Manhat tan was 1,3, 4,5„ and 7, equalling 20; For Penn State 2,8, 0, and . 10, alarming 35. The route over Van• Cortlandt, Park takes the harriers over a terrain' of turf (a. yoimg quagmire: this,-iyeek), sand,' and rocky hills.: The runners pass beneath "railway -trestles, across Mosholu Avenue, and along the ridges of hills. - . . 4-Man Loss' Proves Handicap Starting off the Mt season under the handicap. of the loss of font.

Always threatening, but never able to crack the Pitt forward wall within the,i'r 20-yard line, the Penn State freshmen gridders suffered their. first defeat of the season, 3-0, at the hands of a stubborn Panther Cub eleven•on rain-drenched New Beaver field Sat urday afternoon. Not since 1922 has a Nittany freshman team, emerged victorious over the Panthers. Pitt attempted but one pass, and that was their victory song. With the ball on State's 35-yard line as a re sult of an' exchange of punts mid-way in the first quarter, Stock dropped back ,and passed_to Bonelli on the' 23. Beahm, playing safety, charged in, gambled for an interception, lost,. and Bonelli 'crossed the goal standing up. Platt, tackle, braise through to block Bonelli's try for the extra point. JinX' Still Prevails The jinx, hoodoo, evil spirits and such, that have come with every Pan ther team to haunt State's yearlings, played overtime Saturday to present a victory to their henchmen over a superior football squad. The Pitt frosh were kept on the defense throughout the- tilt, fighting in their own-territory to check the continuous ground-gaining Nittany attack, des perately keeping• daylight between their goal and the charging Lions. State's forward wall again played its 'exceptional game, yielding 68 .yards and two first downs to the hard-driving Pitt backs. This solid bulwark has given up six first downs in three games and, favoring none, distributed them evenly among their opponents. On the offense, the line was just as effective, - opening holes through which the ball-earrers gain ed . 233 yards for 17 first downs. State in Pitt Territory Bnnelli'sinunting.put, State. hack on its heels early in the first 'quarter. But following Pitt's score, the Lion yearlings marched . 66 yards . from their 26 to Pitt's 8-yard line before the period ended. The entire second and fourth quarters were staged on Pitt's ground while only a few min utes of the third period were played in State territory. Except for the early thrust that re sulted in their margin of victory, the Panthers never 'crossed the Lions' 40- yard line. • Harvey Beahm led the Lion attack against the Panthers. From the No. 3 position, Beahm continually bucked into the Pitt forward wall, and, but for one try, always came through with at least 2 yards. Subs Stop Yearlings Employing the tactics' of the Pitt varsity, Coach Mike Milligan sent in six substitutes in the second quarter to stop the Lions' touchdown threat. The substitutes held and gained _pos session on their-9-yard line. Running a. play to the 10, Hierbon, substitute back, grabbed a low pass from-center on his goal-line and was forced to hurry his punt. The kick was low and bounced. past . Beahm to Pitt's 46. Undaunted, the Nittany offense again- opened up and with Beahm, White, and Peters toting-the ball, ad vanced 46 yards back' to :Pitt's 10. But again the Pitt line tightened and State 'lost the ball on downk. The half ended with the ball resting on the Lions' 48. • Beahm Recovers Fumble In the opening minutes of tlfe third quarter, Stock crashed the State line, fumbled, and was recovered by Beahm on State's 42. Once again the line cooperated 'With their backs to push the ball to Pitt's 26. Running around end, White lost two yards and Beahni dropped back to pass. Bonelli , inter cepted on his 21. Three plays _netted 0 yards and Bo nelli punted to State's 35 on fourth down. Again State began its march that carried over into the last period , and stopped by a sudden welding of the Panther line on the 18. Pitt again failed to break through State's line and was forced to . kick. \ OPA Training State, College err Depot THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Matmen Start Annual Practice Grind Condh Speidel's varsity wrestling team, 1936 eastern intercollegiate champions, began fall Practice this week. Also 'beginning training are the freshman matmen. The varsity squad will practiCe on Tuesday and Thursday, and the freshmen on Wed nesday and Friday, until 'Thanksgiv ing,. At that time the regular daily practice will begin for both squads. Gridmen Prepare -For Tough Tilts Syracuse, Penn, Maryland, Pitt ' Loom Ahead- As LiOns Drill For Orange Gaine By HERB GAIIAN What looked like two setups in pre season predictions have . ;turned out to be "powers to be reckoned with" in eastern football circles. And both these teams will be met by Penn State within the next foul' weeks! Going over the Lion schedule before the season 'started it seemed as though the Nittany eleven would have at least one, and maybe two, "breath ers" during the - final half of the ache dale. These two were Maryland , and Syracuse. It was of course conceded that Penn and Pitt would be-anything but push overs. Even' in Penn's present plight, the Quakers can be counted on for the usual Penn State battle. But, having now completed a "successful" first half season with three straight victor ies after the Cornell' defeat, Penn State will enter the Syracuse game this Saturday as the underdogs. Maryland Defeats .Orange The Orange, after licking the high ly touted Cornell team, messed things up by losing to Maryland on a muddy field last Saturday. To further muddle prognosticators, Maryland had pre viously lost to the befuddled Penn eleven. . • But, forgetting comparative scores, and realizing that they 'have four tough assignments. on their. hands, the Lions have been taking advantage of their two-week mid-season vacation. Bob Higgins has ~been spading the simad . .through..serhyunagea,during_the, past week. Because of their, good showing in Thursday's practice session, Higgins gave the boys three days 'rest over the week-end. They resumed practice yesterday with the usual , scrimmag ing against Syracuse plays. Higgins Tries 2 Backfields . Two sets of backfields have been used during the scrimmages, and un less something unforeseen occurs,' one should be on a par with the other. The probable starting foursome will be Harry Harison, CO-captain Sammy Donato, Johnny Patrick, and Joe Me tro. The other quartet was made up of Steve Rollins, Lloyd- Ickes, Tony Gi annantonjo, and Dick Skean). Co-captain Johnny Economos tried again to make a go of it, but he hurt his ailing knee during Thursday's scrimmage. Danny DeMarino has been taking part in the practice. drills, and he will probably be able to see action at tackle during part of the Syracuse game. Wear, Baron,To Be Ready Windy Wear, was in the Infirmary for most of last week resting his twisted neck, but he is almost recov ered and he, along with All-American bound Alex Barantovicly who hurt his knee against Lehigh are expected . to be in shape for Saturday's clash. Earl Edwards, Lion end coach, who scouted Syracuse' against Cornell, warned that the New Yorkers will present a strong line and fast,• heavy backs. He said that the men to watch will be Glickman and Morrison, backs, and Rekistis, Webster, and Hooper, linemen.

Megr ail Scores Both Goals As Owls End Streak By ROY NICHOLS A long quick pass, an .erratic drib ble up the side of the field, a low hard shot into the net, and Temple had scored the first point against State since the two teems began soccer re lations. But the two goals that the Lion boaters had tallied 'in the first half were enough to give them their fourth victory of the season atthe Northeast high school field in Philadelphia Sat urday, afternoon. Ist Opponent to Score It' was odd that an Owl team that . had not won a game should be the first opponent to score against the Lions this year. Both Yale and Buck nell had presented much stronger op position. Franny Nfegrail scored the first. goal for the Lions in the last half minute of the first quarter after he took a short pass from Jack Mallory. State's forwards_ barraged three suc cessive shots that bounced back from the gon,lposts before Megrail's kick took effect. Alegrail Scores Again . Megrail sank the second and final goal for the Lions in the second quar ter when he took a beautifully ac curate pass from Spyker and can noned it in the lower left corner of the net., State's line sent shot after shOt at the goal in the third peried, but those that didn't go wide were well-handled by Bob Beisswenger,—Temple goalie who played a brilliant game. State Halfbacks Good Because of good defensive work by the Lions' halfbacks, Haag handled the ball only _three or four times. State's offensives, however, were often checked by George Nemchick, soccer 'Olympian of 1936. Nemchick played a roving game, often dropping back to bolster the Owl defense. Temple's goal came in the fourth quarter when, after State had held the ball in Temple territory for a considerable length of time, Nemchick sent a long pass out to Tapp, center forward, who relayed the ball to Bur rowes at outside left. Burrowes scampered up the side of the field and succeeded in getting by gorda,. the only Lion back out of position by the approaching wingman, was nowhere near the ball as it sped into the net. The action in the final stanza be cause much slower. A rain Friday, night and - Saturday morning had made the field soggy and slippery; This, together with the smallness of the grounds, hampered the Lions. Last week at Yale, State had played on one of the largest collegiate soccer fields. The difference in size had its effect on some of the Lion players, es pecially. Megrail who is at his best when he has plenty of room to work. Have Your SUEDE SHOES neatly cleaned at the - L. E. KLINE SHOE REPAIR SHOP 153 South Allen Street A Common Expression in Town and on.
