Between
The Lions
WITH DICK PETERS
Lines On The Lions •
Information from Syracuse de
clares that the Ora.ngemen are
whipping up a great deal of en
thusiasm over the coming soccer
game with Penn State's "perpet
ual motion" club. What the in
formation didn't say is whether it
is a result of hopes for a win, or
whether the anticipation is for
seeing in action, the best "boot
factory" in the business.

State's most recent gift to pro
football, Leap in' Lloyd Ickes, who
currently is being starred with the
New York Yankees in the Amer-
ican loop of the money-and-mole
skins pastime, 'missed. the last
Yanks game
.against the Milwau
kee Chiefs Sunday, due to injuries
received last week.
Almost as unrecognized as the
Lion grid. outfit, is the Navy squad,
also to date undefeated in four
games. Which all goes to show you
that metropolitan newspaper pub
licity is almost as indispensable to
a top-flight team as its regular
ends.
-BTL
Off hand, can you tell when
Penn State last had an undefeated
football team? Or how many times
the Lions have come through their
schedule untarnished? Well, 1920
was the last perfect year, preced
ed by six others,. in .1881, 1887,
1894 , , 1909, 1911, and 1912.
-BTL
- The Lion team which invades
the Owls Nest Saturday, will be
the first Nittany eleven to visit
in Philadelphia undefeated for 20
years. In 1920, they entered the
City of-Brotherly Love with five
wins
„under their -belt and pro
ceded to take the sixth in a row
from Penn; 28-7.
-STL
Speaking of Penn, we'd give our
other clean shirt to see the head-on
meeting of Harmon and Reagan.
Personally, this looker-onner is of
the opinion that Penn and Reagan
are going to feel as if it were their
bi-centennial aft6r the Wolverines
take them for a ride, a la Harmon.
Thompson May Start
Againsi Syracuse Fresh
,Tack Banbury, first:string fresh
man fullback who, sprained his
ankle in Tuesday's scrimmage,
may be replaced by Jim Thomp
son in the starting lineup against
the Orange yearlings at Syracuse
Saturday.
Banbury's injury was not
thought at first to be serious but
X-rays showed yesterday that his
ankle was badly sprained. Dr.
Alfred H. Griess, • team physiican,
said last night that he will prob
ably be able to play but that the
bad ankle would prevent him
from playing his usual game.
No injuries were suffered yes
terday as the frosh used Temple
plays in scrimmage against the
varsity. Previous to the scrim
mage the yearlings practiced pass
defense for use against a reported
ly-good Syracuse aerial attack.
Other than that, little can be
found out about the Orange cubs.
The game Saturday will be their
first.

Orange team from scoring an up
set. ,

Three Lineup Changes
May Be Made in Lions'
Starting Posts Saturday
Although the Temple game Sat
urday will find the Nittany Lion
football squad at its full strength
for the first time since the Bucknell
opener, Coach Bob Higgins is hav
ing his lineup troubles. Before, in
juries caused this difficulty; this
time the Lion mentor is debating
which one of his available grid
ders to start against the Owls.
No less than three starting as
signments are still in doubt. Bill
Smaltz, regular fullback who saw
little action in the West Virginia
and Lehigh tilts because of an
ankle injury appears ready to re
turn to the regular lineup. It is
possible 4 however, that Higgins
may select Sophomore Ralph Ven
tresco to do the Lions' kicking and
passing at the start of the game.
Ventresco's physical condition is
also do u b tf u l since he's been
out of action for the past three
weeks.
The wingback position will be
filled by Craig, White or Len
Krouse. The latter has starred in
all three games and may get the
nod over White:Craig was injured
in the Buckriell game and has been
on the shelve since.
The only probable change in the
veteran forward wall may see Jim
Woodward replacing veteran Wade
Mori at left guard. Mori had sev
eral teeth knocked out in the En
gineer fracas.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 23
Temple's offensive was slightly re
vised by Head Coach Ray Morrison
in the hope that the batch of new
plays will work successfully
against the defense Penn State is
expected to put up against the
Owls. •
The running attack of the Tem
ple team has not been as potent
as Morrison had figured, so in to
day's workout the coaches intro
duced new - plays which they expect
will add power to the ground at
tack. At the same time the aerial
Maneuvers were enhanced by the
addition of two plays designed to
work advantageously against the
Nittany Lions.
Morrison and his a s s i s t a n t,
Henry Frnka, who takes care of
the ends, have been spending con
.siderable time with the terminals,
since the pictures of the Michigan
State game showed that the wing
men made several glaring errors.

Orange Harriers Offer
Six Veterans Against
Injured Lions Tomorrow
Charging down upon the Nit
tany Lion stronghold the "Boy. ,
from Syracuse" will • attempt tc
teach Coach Chick Werner's har
rier squad the ancient Greek ar:
of running stamina in the five
mile cross-country duel meet here
tomorrow at 11 a. m.
With a Spartan-like squad of siy
vet era n s returning and thr
strongest sophomore reserves the: .
have had for years, the Orange
men last week defeated a strop; .
NYU team 26-29 and swamped th , '
Colgate. harriers 16-39 on Satur
day.
Not content with a well-balanc
ed group, State's opponents pre
sent the strongest harrier trio in
the country in Lynn Radcliffe
Wes Stansburg. and Captain A -
Obrist; who are potential one. tvv -,
and three tape-breakers in an -
competition.
Radcliffe and Stansbury hay ,
run together since their Syracus
Central High School days, wit!
Radcliffe offering McMitchel
1939 IC-4A champion, a close fin
ish in their NYU match two week
ago.
This Orange duo were the har
riers who pushed Herm Goffber
to his three-mile Penn State `liar
rier record of 15:33 minutes in the
freshman match in 1938.
Captain Bill Smith will MC
adieu to Nittany Lion fans in hi
last home race after four years of
record-shattering runs. Competi
tion between Smith and Radcliffe
will be at fever pitch, because
Smith only nosed out the Orang(
ace in their duel struggle at Syra
cuse last year
To offset the Syracuse threat
Coach Chick Werner can only de
pend upon Smith, Chet Snyder
Pop Thiel, and Vern Kotz to eau:
the Penn State banner. With hi:.
best veterans as Al Buorgerie
Herm Goffberg, and Howie Wheel
er watching from the sidelines be
cause of injuries, these four mus
place high in order to garner
Lion victory.
Other veterans who may race
against the Wernermen are Dic'.
