THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1940" Harriers Eate Up DM For Michigan,Sfale Meef After a hard three-mile run yes terday, the Nittany harriers will ease up today to keep on edge for the Michigan State dual meet here Saturday. Because the poor judging of pace was responsible for most of the bad time turned in by a ma jority of the squad in their first time-trials on Tuesday, • Coach Chick Werner ordered this three - - mile pace-making chore. The first mile of Tuesday's time trials was run too fast, according to Werner, so yesterday's run-con sisted of _a slower first mile and then a gradually, increased two and . three mile speed. Vern Kotz, Francis Burkhart and Helsm Goffberg, 'did not participate in time-trial competition for the seven-man team for :the Spartan meet, but Kotz or. Burkhart may be in condition for a sudden switch in the lineup. Centennial Museum of. the Uni versity of . Texas has a collection of dinosaur material from the Big Bend-Country. • DID.

In its entirety, cross-country isn't exactly what you would call a spectator's sport. In fact, most of the time you never know what's going on until the runners hit the last quarter mile. But that quarter Mile -is about the most thrilling thing you can ask for, especially when two boys, dead tired after a long, hard pull over the course, put on ajast minute sprint to the tape. It's one of the things to look for ward to Saturday. Jerry Weinstein, CDT city edi tor, and once the sports ed there, summed up the Bucknell game as neatly as anyone yet. Says Jerry: "Sure, the score might have been highei', but Penn State won, and that's still the way they pay off in the game. If they win next Sat urday, they're still toils, etc." Bob Higgins, Lion football head, holds some sort of record in num ber of games played in one grid, season. The Hig took part in 17 in 1919—nine A.E:F. fracases while in France, returning to Penn State in time to go eight more rounds for the Lions in intercollegiate cir cles. That also was the year Bob was picked as All-A.E.F. end by Grantland Rice and All-Ainerican end by Grantland Rice. The article by Red Friesell in the Saturday Evening Post last week, in which he played up the Penn State-Syracuse battle of 1939, was a nice plug for the Lions, and must have boosted the Post's reading public •in State College by severa] hundred. But only one thing, Mr, Friesell, the disputed play so high ly publicized occurred on the first down, not the third as you men tioned. Just a minor point however, '44 Gridders Down LY. Team, 164 -- The freshman football team showed promise of being one of the strongest yearling grid outfits in years yesterday as-they trimmed the junior varsity, 26-o,.in Scrim mage. The first touchdown came right after the opening whistle as Quen tin Peters took the ball off tackle, cut back and raced 40 yards to score. • The other touchdowns were made on short runs by Jack Ban hury, Jim Thompson and Curly Mann. Banbury place-kicked two extra points but had the other two blocked by the fast-charging J.V. line. Intensive*" coaching on passing and pass defense during the past week showed results as the frosh completed four out of six passes and intercepted four of six junior varsity heaves. The other two J.V. passes Were completed. In preparation for their opening game against Bucknell Saturday the yearlings will drill on plays and game situations today, Coach 'Marty McAndrews said last night. Tackle Dan "Halpin, who was out with a shoulder injury Monday and Tuesday, reported for practice yes terday and will be . ready to start against the Little Bisons: Oiher izobahle starters will be Jack Potsklan and Bob 'Walters, ends; Bernie Brosky, tackle; Olin Bonham and JOhn Jaffurs, guards; Joe : Kraynack, center; Charlie Mc- Farland, Aldo t erici, Jack Ban bury, and Quentin Peters, backs. Higgins Switches Nillany Backfield Three changes will be made in the starting Lion backfield for the West Virginia game 'Saturday if the choice of players used by Coach Bob Higgins in this week's work outs is any criterion. Earl "Sparky" Brown, short and stocky little sophomore fullback, looms as the outstanding candi date for the number three backfield spot vacated by the injured Bill Smaltz and Ralph Ventresco. A hard runner, the New York lad is also a fair punter and passer. Chuck Peters has indicated in workouts that he has fully recov ered from the preseason shoulder injury which kept him out of the Bucknell encounter and is once again raring to go. His return to the lineup will enable Higgins to use Pepper Petrella in spots to run the opposition ragged. The third new man in the start ing backfield will be Len Krouse, one of the stars of the Bison fray. Krouse will replace Craig White, regular wingback, out for two weeks with a sprained shoulder. Johnny Patrick will start in his regular quarterback position. The only change in the forward wall will find Carl 'Stravinski, out last week with a knee injury, back at left tackle in place of Walt Kniaz. Coach Higgins eased up on the hard contact work yesterday and sent the Lion gridders through dummy Ifkactice to polish up on offensive plays to be used in the clash with the Mountaineers. A new defense might--also be used by the Nittany team on Satur day. In the two games to date the West Virginia has used a running attack with very little passing. To offset this, the Lion mentor may throw in a seven-man line. Pekelia Leading Gainer In Saturday's Grid Game Pepper Petrella, flashy Penn State tailback, walked off with the ground-gaining honors in the Bucknell-Stafe game last Satur day. Petrella gained a total of 100 yards while losing only four in 24 attempts to average four yards per try. P.
