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.

WITH DICK PETER S
Lines On the Lions
Saturday is "fi've ring circus"
day at State, with five athletic ev
ents scheduled for Lion teams and
all at home . . . beginning in the
morning at ten o'clock with frosh
football against Bucknell, and in
the afternoon the varsity gridders
against West Virginia, the soccer
lads meeting Western 'Maryland,
the • cross-country team against
Michigan State,. and junior varsity
football with Cornell .. . the Alum
ni, should be kept busy.
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.
