Page Light Yearlings Break Even With 'Tough' Schedule Breaking even on the toughest sChe dule ever meted out to a Lion fresh man football team, Coach Marty Mc- Andrews' boys showed a wealth of defensive and offensive power. The yearlings ended the season strongly against Navy after a mid-season re lapse made them welcome mats for Cornell and Syracuse. The main objective of a freshman team is to weed out those players who will be of aid to the varsity squad in their upperclass years. With the type of schedule just completed, with Kiski, Bucknell, Pittsburgh, Cornell, Syracuse, and Navy as the opposition, McAndrews believes the Cubs gained more experience than past freshman squads and will there fore develop more quickly into first string varsity, material. • Line, Backs, Cooperate A hard smashing backfield worked behind a strong, hole-making line and the , yearlings plowed through their first three opponents; Kiski, Michael], and Pitt, for a total of 40 first downs and 94 points. Defensive ly, the line withstood the enemies' charges and yielded but six first downs for a total of 12 points. Desperately trying to break a jinx that has accompanied every Pitt team since 1922, the 1937 State yearlings launched a savage attack against the Panther eleven but lost 6-0 for the first loss of the year. Oddly enough, the Statemen were at their best in this game. The Pan thers were continbally staving' off the Col:weskit 1931, Ltor,Err S MMus MULL.

State functioned as a machine and the team rolled up 17 first downs for a grand total of 233 Yards gained by rushing, but inside Pitt's 20-yard line all offensive devices and tricks failed to make the extra yardage and the Panther yearlings went away the vic tor on on early first quarter pass. The winners could go nowhere through State's line and gained but two first downs for 63 yards. • Yearlings Collapse Against Cornell and Syracuse, the yearlings suffered a collapse that baffled even the coaches. Injuries to Wally Kniaz, tackle, and Toni Snaith, guard, crippled the centeir of the line although their substitutes did fine relief work in the previous tilts. Cornell swamped the Cubs, 31-0, cap italizing on State's poor punting into a strong head-wind. Syracuse's heavy squad trampled over the yearlings 19-0, for State's third and final loss. .Traveling over to Annapolis, the freshman struck their early-season stride and proceeded to sink the Navy Plebes in a sea of mud, 19-0. This victory gave the Cubs three wins as against us many losges, scoring 69 points and holding the opposition to 62. No One Star From end to end, including the backfield, no one individual stood out as a glimmering star.

The center line of Kniaz, Snaith, Smith, ind_Platt was the combination instrumental in holding Kiski, Buck nell, and Pitt to two first downs a piece. Although the absence of the first two in the Cornell and Syracuse became' evident in the manner in which these teams ripped through the line, Jim Woodward and Jim Wolfe, who Subbed for them, stiffened in the Navy contest - and beat back the Plebes' .bids for touchdowns. With the varsity graduating many of its outstanding players, it appears at present that some members of this well-balanced team will see action in varsity uniform as sophomores. • JackMcMichael, president of the National Student Christian Associa tion ,CoUncil will visit State College Thursday, December 9, n the interest of - the National Student assembly to be held at Miami university, Oxford, Ohio, December 27 to Jan.
