Trials Will Decide
Lion Skin Wearer
- The field of candidates to wear
the lion skin has been narrowed
down to three—Bob Allen, Tom
Kelley, and Jacob Shearer—
Gene Wettstone, gymnastic s
coach, announced late last night.
The three will take turns
wearing the skin and, after these
trials, one of the candidates will
be picked to wear the skin for
the last home game this year and
all of next season. Judging will
be done by a group of faculty
members.
Allen will wear the skin to
day, Kelley at the West Virginia
game, and Shearer at the South
Carolina game.

1919 Crash Broke
Haring Info Radio
The method by which Claude
Haring, topnotch sports announcer
here to broadcast the Bucknell
game, broke into his profession is
probably unique in the annals of
radio announcing.
It took the lamented crash of
1929 to knock the props from under
Haring's real estate 'business and
convince him that radio work was
his dish. A radio station in his
home town, Allentown, heard him
while he . was active in dramatics
and promptly placed him on the
staff: From' there it was' clear sail
ing.
After four years of announcing
in Allentown, Haring clicked at
an audition with station WCAU in
Philadelphia and stayed there for
a year. Since 1935 he has served
as sports announcer for the At
lantic Refining Company, sponsors
of State games this fall.
Contrary to the general belief,
Haring believes that a sports back
ground isn't essential for radio
sports announcers as long as they
can convey to the listening public
in simple words what's happening
on the field. The use of technical
language can often confuse the
audience.
Haring has been on the State
campus since Thursday acquaint
ing himself with certain facts ne
cessary for good announcing.. He
memorizes the names and num
bers of players, backs in particular,
and offensive plays. To do this Ile
had to gain the confidence of Coach
Bob Higgins and his staff by pledg
ing himself to secrecy.
Conger And Jones Refurn

Lloyd M. Jones of the School of
Physical Education and Athletics,

THE DAILY COLT:FIGIAN
Jeffrey Stresses
Soccer Finesse
Cleverness, not power, is the
most important asset a soccer
player can have, according to
Coach Bill Jeffrey.
Cleverness in ball handling,
dribbling, and passing is essential
to every good soccer player, the
same as these assets are essential
to every basketball player, says
Jeffrey.
" . `Power has little place on
the soccer field. Again ,as in bas
ketball, the passes should be short,
deliberately directed to a definite
teammate. No power kick can ever
put a ball in a specific spot," the
soccer coach believes.
The hardest thing to break high
school players away from is the
use of sheer power and initiate
them into the use of strategic play
ing and finesse in handling the
ball, said Jeffrey, in developing
his amazing teams over a 14-year
period, has taught Penn Staters to
use a short kick with knee action.
"The power kick," Jeffrey ex
plains, "is caused by keeping the
knee stiff and kicking from the .
hip. As "soon as the player begins
the use of knee action, his useful
ness to the team increases one
liundred per cent."
It was the "Genial Scotchman"
who introduced the game of soccer
volleyball here to teach his play
ers adept use of* their feet and
heads.
'ln this game they use a different
bill and use their feet instead of
their hands to bat the ball over
the net. Not only is
. a high degree
of skill developed but the players
gain confidence in their ability to
put the ball in a given spot with
ease.
The Lion soccermen are at pres
ent holding daily practices to keep
in shape foi their next tilt sched
uled a week from today with West
ern Maryland here.
Niftany Harriers Tune Up
In 7-Mile Endurance Test
Starting to bear down after they
have rounded into good condition,
the Nittany Lion harriers ran up
miles like an adding machine yes
terday when they jogged an effort
less seven-mile overdistance round'
on the varsity course.
This workout followed Thurs
day's three-mile fast pacemaking
grind that Coach Chick Werner
ordered to determine whether his
harriers had the knack of pacing
themselves. Each runner haa to
run the three-mile pace as if he
were timing himself for the regular
five-mile race.
28th Grid Baffle
(Continued from page one)
Boner looms as the number one
fullback and Mel Knupp will do
the punting from the left halfback
position. Walt Wenrick is almost
certain to start at the other half
back slot
Veteran linemen, with two ex
ceptions, will start up front, with
co-Captains Morris Bessel and
John Plewak sparking the Bisons'
forward wall at center and right
guar d respectively. The other
guard will be Nick Priore. Chuck
Reed and Charlie Nagel are ex
pected to start at the tackle posts
while Fred Gore, seasoned wing
man, will team with Jesse Mair,
promising sophomore, at end.
NOTICE
On October 3rd, about 10:00,
we think some member of the
faculty and his wife, accom
panied by — some out-of-town
friends in another car, pur-,
chased at the 'Cold Storage,
College Orchards, a bushel of
No. 1 -Mclntosh. The salesman
at the Storage who made the
sale, realized after the cars had
left that he had placed, by mis-.
take, a basket of No. 2 Mcln
tosh in the car. The Horticul
ture Department would appre l
ciate help in locating this party,
for we certainly want to correct
such an error.

Between
The Lions
WITH DICK PETERS
They're Off
Needless to say Bucknell is in
town again. Yes, - that Thundering
Herd from tip Lewisburg way iS
making its annual appeargnce in
State College to help Penn State's
Nittany Lions inaugurate a brand,
new, shiny football season.
Whether that shiny season will
be marred 24 hours from now I
doubt very much, but things some
how don't always go the way we
think they If you remember
only two years ago, these same
Bucknellians came, saw, and con
quered a much favored State team,
14-0.
Last year they lesl the Nittiny
bunch by
_three points until the
fourth quarter, when a little guy
named Petrella took the . matter
into his hands and said, "Look
here, boys, this will never do."
So Mister Petrella went on a per
sonal inspection tour of the Bisons
and wheini he finished,• the Lions
bad come off with a well-squeezed
13-3 victory.
Today I believe that Penn State
will be fielding a much stronger
eleven than the Humphreys gang
—one stronger in the weight chart,
in versatility, in speed, and above
all, in reserves. Therefore,• it is
only my constitutional right of
,freedom of speech and press that
allows me to say that Penn State
should beat Bucknell this after
noon by at least three touchdowns.
Boasting an average of .800 to
date in gridiron predictions, and
realizing that things in the select
ing racket are getting tougher
every week, here are nine other
games to watch today:
Georgia to take South Carolina.
Pitt to surprise Missouri.
NYU to batter Lafayette.
Northwestern to squeeze through
over Syracuse.
Case to trample Lehigh.
Duke to hairline over Tennessee.
Cornell to move in on Colgate.
Southern California to edge Ore
gon State. •
'West Virginia to upset Fordham.
