Frosh Gridders Work ,
De fps Difenee Aster
Deadlocking Colgate, 7.7
Free from 'injuries after gaining
a well-earned 7-7 tip with the Col
gate yearlings Saturday, the frosh
gridders spent yesterday's practice
working on pass defense and drill
ing.o&offensive tactics.
Scrimmage; probably against
the varsity, is on the slate for this
,afternoon.
Although the Lion cubs came
from behind late in the fourth
quarter to deadlock the Red Raider
• freshnien, State -had the edge stat
istically. The Lions had a net gain
of 97 yards from rushing while the
visitors had only 58.
The Colgate score _in the 'first
quarter was set up by a bad kick
by Aldo Cenci, State quarterback.
Cenci kicked from his own 15 but
the ball sailed high and to the
right, going out of bounds on the
25. Running plays carried the Ma
roon frosh to the 12 where Ed Wit
kow-ski passed to Mike Micha for
the touchdown.. Cusick's placement
was good. • .
. •
State tallied in the final period
after a 76-yard march. With
Chappy Peters and Jack Banbury
carrying the ball, the freshmen ad
vanced to the one r yard stripe and
Peters plunged aver right tackle
to score. Bucky Walters took the
ball on an end around for the point .
after touchdown.

lion Gridders Prepare For Tough Baffle With Temple
Varsity Unimpressive
In 34.0 Lehigh Bout
The undefeated Nittany Lion
erridders,. fresh from a fackadaisical
34-0 romp over a fighting but weak
Lehigh eleven, began preparations
yesterday for their latest arid
toughest threat to a clean slate,
the up and coming Temple Owls.
The Philadelphia team's stun
ning 21-19 upset over strong Mich
igan State Friday night and the
LiorW half-hearted performance
against the Engineers put an en

poach Bob
Higgins sent his
first two teams
through inten-
Chuck ,Peters sive drills on
pass defense yesterd'ay 'afternoon
as the three injured players on
the squad, Craig White, Ralph
Ventresco and Bob Wear, returned
to the squad with the team physi
cian's okay after being on the
sidelines for, the past two games.
Since there was no contact work'
'they will have, to. wait till this.
afternoon before they are tested
in actual scrimmage.
The varsity team was forced to
take a back seat last Saturday and
watch the second and third string-,
ers steal the thunder. Only the
brilliant ball carrying of veteran
Chuck Peters stood out-•in the reg
ulars' run of the mill offensive.
After taking the opening kickoff
and marching down the field for
64 yards arid a touchdown on a
20-yard pass' from Earl Erown to
Len Krouse, the regulars -slowed
up the tempo of their play and al
lowed Lehigh to hold them at'
bay for the remainder of the half.
Chuck Peters'- spectacular 96-
yard run after taking the Engin
eers' second-half kickoff was the
only other bright mark set ,by the
first stringers. Taking the ball on
the 4-yard line, Chuck came up
the center of the -field, shook off
his first tackler dti the 30 and
headed for the right sidelines. Only
the safety man could have stopped
him on the Lehigh 25.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN '
Iliffany Beoters Blank Weak Bucknell Squad, 8-0;
Drill for First Away Till At Syracuse Saturday
After blanking an inferior Buck
nell squad, 8-0, amid a miniature
blizzard Saturday afternoon, Bill
Jeffrey's eighth undefeated soccer
eleven began, drills last night for
their tilt at Syracuse this weekend.
Saturday's game was Penn
State's all the way from the first
quarter when Woody King tallied
for
. the Lions, to the last period
when Van Hartman scored and
King chalked up two more for the
Nittanymen.
Early in the second period Ani
bal Galindo received a corner kick
from Don Durain and booted into
the net. This started the fireworks
and in rapid succession the Lions
scored two more. Ned Corman
passed to King who drove past the
goalie, and a few mini tes later
Don Megrail took a corner kick
from Hartman, dribbled around his
opponent and booted the Lions'
fifth goal.
It was in the third period that
theJeffreymen displayed the qual
ity that makes them the country's
top notch team as they took the
ball from one end of the field to
the other in ten seconds where
Bobby Ernst scored.
Mainstay of the Lions was Cap
tain Walt Hosterman who time
after time successfully tackled his
opponent and set .up 'scoring plays
for the Nittanymen

Lion tub Boofers Down
Syracuse freshmiu, 1-0
The Nittany freshman soccer
team left much to be , desired in
their first game with the Syracuse
cubs here Saturday in spite of its
1-0 *tory.
The Lion cubs displayed fine
technique, but an evident lack of
team coordination kept the game a
touch-and-go affair until Bill
Prichard, State center forward,
scored in first minutes of the last
quarter. -
Hampered by icy winds and a
slippery ball, neither team was
able to effectively threaten until
Pritchard's last period score.

Aftermath
Whether you thought the Lions'
win over Lehigh Saturday was im
pressive enough is not the question
. . . they did win and by a size
able margin, which still leaves
them undefeated and in good con
dition for the Temple fuss . . .
To be sure, the State team didn't
do much the first half, but then the
Lehigh bunch didn't do anything
at altbetween 2 and 4:30 p.m. that
afternoon . . . Less excitement at
the game than in a maternity ward,
not even when Chuck Peters turn
ed in his 96-yard tally run . . . The
tow-headed senior played his best
game since last year's Penn fracas
and his run-back of the second
half kick-off was almost a single
handed job, with very little block
ing aid by Lion team-mates . . .
In my opinion, the most forgotten
man on the Nittany squad is big
Frank Platt, front line tackle . . .
I had been suspecting that Platt
was doing something in there be
sides filling the gap between Vargo
and Mori . . . In watching him on
defense, on the seven consecutive
plays, he was not taken out of the
play once, and personally account
ed for three of the seven tackles
1 3 1 3-8
0 0 0 0-0
. . : Speaking of defensive work,
giving credit where it is due, you
can't overlook the yeoman service
of Lehigh's Bernie Deehan, a
sophomore fullback who was over
the held like a whirling dervish all
afternoon, breaking up Nittany
prays almost before the Lions came
out of their huddle . . . An inter
esting sidelight on Deehan is that
he has taken over the position of
his fraternity roommate, Steve
Smoke, a senior who held the spot
for the past two years . . . Guess
ing wrong on only one game over
the weekend, the Pitt-Fordham
clash, this column's average to
date jumped to .787, with a total
so far of 37 games picked right,
ten incorrect, and three tied. -

Nittany Lion Harriers
Hold Time Trials Today
With Three Men Disabled
Like an ill wind that blows no
body good, a strong injury jinx
will buffet the Nittany Lion cross
country runners when they race
in their second time trials on the
College course. at 4 p. m. today
with at least three top-notch var
sity men not competing for the
Syracuse seven-man team.
With the Syracuse meet switch
ed to Friday, Alex Bourgerie
Herm Goffberg, and Howie
Wheeler are nursing leg injuries
with little possibility of their re
covering in time to chase the
orangemen over the Lion course.
Goffberg and Wheeler return tc
harrier duty today, although Goff
berg's three-week layoff an(
Wheeler's bad ankle injury wiP
prevent them from participatinr
in the Syracuse harrier duel.
Bourjerie is expected to report for
workouts on Thursday.
