in New York City- was the-scene 'of
two blows to the Nittany harriers
Saturday. The State distance men
lost their second 'meet of the season
to Manhattan 20-35; . Captain,: Pete
Olexy, charmed Lion ace, 'crossed the
finish line in sixth place, spelling fin
ish. to a three-year dual meet unde
feated record.
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.
MC' held this lead for the remainder•
of the race to break the tape in 29
minutes, and 31 seconds, followed 9y
Mimic in 29.54. The same 2.mile mar
ker saiv Herb Hazzard, another ,State
hope, dm out,. overcome•by the , paca
and mud.
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. C.-4A. last. year. ."
The three Manhattan harriers .who
followed Maule - and preceded" Olexy
came in as a unit in 30.17. They were
Joe MeClair, Robert Conkling, and
Frank Furey. The two Manhattan
men .immediately following Olexy
were George Sheehan and James Mor
timer.
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. - . .

State Eleven
Handed First
1937. Beating
Nittany Ist Year Men
Powerless Within
20-Yard Line
By SAL SALA.
. 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.

-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.

2-1, At Phila.
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.
