B@alsburg ? 3-1
' Pena State’s freshman soccer
team scored its first victory yes
terday by barely defeating Boals
burg High School in a practice
game, 3-2.
• State won when Yeagley booted
one in from the side in the last
minute of play. Throughout the
game, Boalsburg displayed better
teamwork, with the Nittany cubs
relying on individual perform
ances rather than coordinated
play.
Boalsburg scored first, in the
first quarter, closely followed by
Williams of State. State scored
again in the second, with Prichard
doing the footwork. Boalsburg
tied the game up in the second
o)i a penalty kick.
- Coach Clyde Underwood, frosh
soccer mentor, expects to improve
the team coordination during the
weeks remaining before the first
regular game. Material is plen
tiful, with most of the freshmen
■well up-on soccer fundamentals —
■except teamwork. This is expect
ed to be ironed out when the boys
gel used to playing together.

Saturday Special
The day after tomorrow is Sat
urday. Saturday will go down in
Penn State history as a big day,
for several reasons. And the cause
behind all those reasons is a soccer
team —the Penn State soccer team.
[Reason number one for Saturday
being a big day is that Coach Bill
Jeffrey’s ball-booters will be out
to extend their undefeated string
into the eighth consecutive season.
That in itself should be enough to
make a memorable day of Satur
day, September 28.
REASON NUMBER two is that
when the Smilin' Scot’s laddies
take the -field against Gettysburg,
Saturday, probably the largest
crowd in Penn State soccer his
tory will witness the fracas. And
again, that will make Saturday,
September 28. a marked day.
For reasons uncontrollable in
the intricate problem of schedule
making, Nittany Lion soccer teams,
without doubt the best in the coun
try, have year after year been
forced to compete with “King”
Football on each Saturday after
noon during the fall season, with
the result-that the only spectators
attracted were those who knew
what a terrific game soccer is, and
how terrificly terrific Penn State
soccer is.
BUT THIS Saturday there isn’t
anything to interfere with the
Jeffreymen’s de-boot. Football
doesn’t make its official appearance
for another week and no other
athletic events are scheduled for
Nittany participation this week
end. Soccer is king this week. It
is every Penn State man and wo
man’s duty to give their finest ath
letic representatives a royal send
off as they seek to perpetuate one
of the most unique records in col
legiate competition.
Plan to be on hand for Satur
day’s soccer game—Bill Jeffrey
and his boys will do their part to
make it a great day.
Downhill Technique Drill
Stressed By Harriers
' With Coach Chick Werner ab
sent from yesterday’s drill because
of an engagement in Pittsburgh,
Captain Bill Smith led the cross
country squad in a practice on
downhill fundamentals.
Many cross-country races have
been lost because inexperienced
harriers have not mastered the
downhill technique, which calls
for most of the weight falling upon
the heel and toes rather than the
heel alone.
The incorrect method of run
ning downhill causes harriers
either to break their pace or run
with a jarring motion. This re
sults in strained and pulled mus
cles or the loss of a smooth-run
ning stride.
Calisthenics are being stressed
in the early practice days in order
to loosen up summer - tightened
muscles and develop, the supple,
stretching legs of a cross-country
runner.

Stale Baseball Improves
Under Bedenk's Coaching
Coming to Penn State in 1929
as football line coach, Joe Bedenk
was appointed head_baseball coach
in 1931 and has since rolled up an
impressive record for his Lion
diamondmen.
Bedenk has kept the Nittany
baseballers among the collegiate
leaders by winning 101 out of 145
games for a percentage of .697 and
last year the Lions took 14 games
and dropped only two.
On the football staff, in addi
tion to his coaching duties, Joe is
chief of the Lion scouting forces,
being recognized as one of the
outstanding gridiron scouts in the
East. Bedenk is a graduate of
Penn State, receiving his degree
in 1924.
WITH DICK PETERS
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Varsity Confused
By Frosh Defense
The varsity football team had its
first taste of outside competition
yesterday when Coach Bob Hig
gins sent the Lions against the
freshmen in a short but intensive
offensive drill.
The cubs were on the defensive
all the time and their shifting de
fense, similar to the one used by
Bucknell, had the varsity confused
at the beginning of the scrimmage.
As the workout progressed, how
ever, the upperclassmen got the
hang of it and began to show
marked improvement.
An encouraging factor was the
pep shown by all players, yester
day, the third straight day of hard
work. This is the week of real hard
labor. Starting next Monday, the
team will taper off and polish up
its assignments in preparation for
the opener against Bucknell, Oc
tober 5.
A sophomore back who has es
caped much notice to date came
in for a lot of praise from Higgins
as a result of the practice. He’s
Len Gramly, whose good defensive
work and hard running were the
feature of the day. He’s always try
ing and in the words of the Lion
mentor “he’s going to be all right.”
Frosh Impressive
In Varsity Test
The frosh gridders looked like
a potential powerhouse, yesterday,
after using a Bucknell defense in.
an hour scrimmage session against
the varsity Lions.
Unlike the varsity, the freshman
squad seems blessed with an ab
undance of good ends. Bernie
Brosky, Jack Potsklan, Bob Wall
ace, and Bob Walters all looked
good as they made it tough for the
blue-clad varsity to gain an ap
preciable distance around the
flanks.
Other yearlings who played a
bang-up game were Bob Halpin,
tackle; Bonham and John Jaffurs,
guards; and Joe Kraynack, center.
With the team on the defense dur
ing the entire scrimmage it was
hard to get a line on any of the
backfield hopefuls.'
• Tomorrow, Coach Marty Mc-
Andrews hopes to get a chance to
concentrate on teaching the frosh
plays, and polishing up their of
fense, “what little there is to pol
ish,” as he says.
Inexperience Handicaps
r Doc r Krufler's Fencers
A Coach who deserves a lot
more credit than he gets is fenc
ing mentor “Doc” Krutter. A lack
of trained fencers has forced him
to teach everyone on his squads
how to fence.
In a sport where experience
counts more than anything else
this has been an almost insur
mountable handicap. However,
Kruttter has overcome it to such
an extent that Penn State fencers
can point with pride to a record
of 24 wins and 32 losses—all
gained against top-notch competi
tion. The Nittany swordsmen had
their best season in 1939 when
they won six and lost only one.
Krutter is an assistant professor
of petroleum and natural gas en
gineering, coaching on a part-time
basis. He is a graduate of Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology
and has both his M. A. and Ph. D.
degrees.
A 1 Humphreys, Bucknell’s head
coach, hopes there's still some life
in the old “13” jinx. .Last year
marked his 13th season'of coach
ing, and his Bisons, winning three
and losing five, were'the first
Humphrey-coached eleven to fall
below the .500 percentage level.
Now, if the superstition holds good,
it’s time for a change.

Boofers Prepare
For Gettysburg
With the starting eleven against
Gettysburg College her eSaturday
yet undecided, the competition
for the various open posts on the'
varsity soccer team has been
growing keener with each day’s
practice session.
Biggest- shoes- to be filled are
those of Bob Schuler, caiptain of
last year’s team and all-Americain
left fullback. At the present time
it appears that Harold Freeman,
will take over the position for the
tilt against Gettysburg.
The keenest competition seems
to be for right fullback, vacated
by Dutch Lange, who graduated
last year. Bob Hecht, Emmett
Fletcher, and Warren Wimmer
are trying for the post but Hecht,
last year’s freshman captain, looks
most likely to win the approval
of Coach Bill Jeffrey*
The all-important halfback line
should be adequately taken cafe
of by Captain Walt Hosterman,
Don Megrail, and' Gazzy Green.
The question uppermost in the
minds of Nittany sports fans is,
“Will ‘Genial’ Bill Jeffrey’s Lion
booters complete still another un
defeated season this year?” Extra
bleachers and stands are going
to be provided for the rooters
that turn out Saturday to see the
Nittanymen undertake the first
hurdle of the “eighth-year-un
defeated” race.
To provide amusement for the
fans there will be a parade of
freshmen customs violators at the
half. Featured in the procession
will be the “Spirit of ’76,” por
trayed by a member of the class
of ’44 who refused to sing the
“Blue and White.”
