This first victory over Non since 1929 and first ma jOr win of any proportion since Villanova was quashed. three years ago by Hill Cooper and Lefty,- Knapp. was particularly remarkable in face of the bitt . er. disappoint ment and blow to morale that was encountei•edthe week before. It demonstrated a great competitive' spirit and , cOrne back in the face of seemingly unbeatable—and uncon trollable odds. State sent her two money players through'the air for the score and protected that lead,with, a magnificent de fense the remainder of the way. She cannot be blamed for protecting that lead, preferring to win over pro viding a wide-open game in the second half for the 50,- 000 cash customers. Stich a Procedure might - have had disastrous results. Contrary to comment by various Philadelphia papers, it would seem that State played' smart football. . Particularly gratifying was the ability of Harry Har rison to repeat. before the home town fans, and .of Rab Wear to shake oil the bitterness of the previous week to resume his post as the spark-plug of the team. Great defensive work was done by Sammy Donato; Denny' DoMarino, Alex- Barantovich, Joe Peel; and Lloyd Ickes. And the rest of the team was• right: in, there, no ifs, ands, or huts. tVith.a rebuilt morale, and a taste of big-time victory, overnight a different complex has been cast for the yeitr's fortunes THE FORGOTTEN TEAM ALTHOUGH THE LION hooters. face Navy, Sat diday, it is a conservative prediction that Penn State has its fifth undefeated soccer team this. Year. Another Jeffrey-Coached combination will make Eastern soccer history. But will it be that way next. year? Bill Jeffrey will lose five Men by graduation next June. Five 'positions will have to,. be filled from the prc.icnt freshman team. Luckily, the Cubs are also,tin defeated in five genies. But if things were left• to the Athletic ,association there would be no winning soccer team because there would be no material from a fresh man team. Freshman soccer is the only yearling team of a ma jor sport that has net been fully recognized: , • , The Athletic association has• never attempted to de velop material for varsity soccer by giving the fresh men sufficient experience under, beneficial: conditions. The Athletic association has not provided for fresh- man uniforms. • Playing soccer with improper shoes. is detrimental to any man, and uniforms not only gitm the team a feeling of organization, bfit also increase passing efficiency. Soccer is the only, major sport with an unequipped freshman team.' • The Athletic association has not taken enough inter est in the welfare of one of tWo College's most highly rated sports to draw up a schedule , for the fieshman team. Again this is the only major sport in- which such a condition exists. The Athletic association has made no: provision. for a. freshman playing field. The Cub team cannot play on the practice field—the varsity uses it 4. they are chaSed off the intramural football' fields whenever there la a game. No coach is appointed to ti.sist. Bill. Jeffrey with' the freshmen. Since Jeffrey's time is completely taken. up by the varsity, the freshman would have had. little train ing had Jeffrey himself - riot obtained an assistant: But with all this the freshmen are playing hard this season. Because they're trying to EARN. what should have been GIVEN to the yearling soccer team long be fore this class began in September. Get oil the ball, Athletic association. Give the freshmen. and the Penn State soccer teams of the future a break that they de served years ago.—R. B. Nl THE VACATION IN GRANTING a Thanksgiving vacation, the Sen ate showed a gratifying attitude toward sincere stu dent wishes and opinion. Students should show, their appreciation of the vaca tion, granted as it was at the last minute, by not.trying to enlarge the time off by cutting before and' after the vacation. Ample time has been given to' get home and back again. Students should not abusa•the , move bg be- ing unreasonable. Salvatore 'a9 Roy R. Nichols J.

Thrilled after beat ing Penn for the first time since 1929, Penn State students and alumni rushed for the south goal posts and a terrific fight ensued. For a. halt hour, the bat tle swayed back and. forth,, and' so did the goal posts. Penn defenders were too tough• and 'arter attempting to get the north crossbar, everybody gave up and' went home.,.. Results of the tight were. numerous. Clothes were ripped: to hrecis. A Penn man got a dislocated col larbone. Headaches and: black, eyes were common.
