THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1940 Patrick Awarded IIiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Between The Lions ' WITH DICK PETERS 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111M111111111114111111111111111 JOhnny-On-The-Spot Three years ago Penn State grid fans had difficulty keeping their scdre sheets straight. It seems there were two Lion players who bore the same name, Johnny Pat rick. Both Johnnies were backs. Both tipped the scales at near 185 and stood about the same distnce above the grass of NeW Beaver Field. Perhaps a few State fans breath ed a sigh of relief when the first Johnny graduated, because now they could keep .them straight. There was only one in the lineup. So maybe that's why Johnny Patrick, Jr. was lost in the hustle and bustle of the past• two years though he played every game. Maybe the reason he was lost was because he was a blocking back. Blocking backs haye that idiosyrr cyasy.• - Today, however, the second Johnny is recognized as the player of the week in the Philadelphia district, taking over the spot held last week by Frank Reagan of Penn. Curiously enough, Johnny gain •ed his honor by virtue of his splen did signal-calling in the Temple game, somethiFig which few foot ball fans ever think of unless the play•:caller chooses the wrong one. You might say that when a player is honored for calling sig nals correctly, and for his block ing ability, he must have been out standing. We certainly agree with the lads - who honored our Johnny.

The award, 'presented to the player-of-the-week, is based on the selection of Philadelphia foot ball coaches and sports writers. Patrick will leave for Philadel phia on Monday along with Coach Bob Higgins to receive the trophy at a banquet at the Warwick Hotel. Frank Reagan, Penn's high scor ing halfback was the last recipient of the award. In winning one of the highest honors bestowed upon a Lion grid der In recent years, the hard block ing sen,ior quarterback is finally gaining recognition for his out standing playing do State teams of the past three years. Patrick's brilliant football career' was cli maxed by his outstanding per formance in the Owl tilt as Phila delphia sport writers accorded full praise to Johnny's almost flawless signal calling and murderous blocking. A substitute to Sammy Donato in his sophomore year, Patrick came into his oWn in the '39 Buck nell game and besides starting every battle since, has performed iron man duty in each one. He never carries the ball himself but paves the way for Petrella, Peters, and other •backs. He has crashed into the scoring column several times, however, with his accurate placement kick ing. It was his 25-yard field goal and extra/ point conversion that gave the Lions the necessary mar gin for a 17-13 win over West Virginia. His successful field goals in the Penn and Pitt games last year will be remembered by Lion fans. In addition to gridiron achieve ments, Patrick is also a varsity letter winner on the boxing team. Jayvee Gridders Leave TOday For Navy Game Coach Danny DeMarino and 23 junior varsity gridders leave for Annapolis this morning for to morrow's grid battle with the Navy jayvees. The J. V.

Lions Expect Aerial Attack When Gamecocks Appear Here Saturday For the second successive Satur day the undefeated Lion gridders will find their pass defense put to a hard test. Literally showered with forward passes by Temple's Al Tomasic, the State eleven ex pects another aerial bombardment when it faces South Carolina here on Saturday. Against such two strong aggre gations as Clemson and Duquesne, the Gamecocks 'scored five touch downs. Still in search of their first victory of the season, the South erners will shoot the works to upset the Lions' win streak. Coach Bob Higgins drilled his backs on pass defense for the third successive day yesterday. State's lineup for Saturday's fracas will remain intact. Tom Vargo and 'Lloyd Parsons at end, Frank Platt and Carl Stravinski at tackle, Wade Mori and Mike Garbinski at guard, and Captain Leon Gajecki at center will start in, the line. From all indications, the veter an backfield of Johnny Patrick, Chuck Peter& Craig White and Bill Smaltz will be on the field at the opening kickoff. Jaspers Offer harriers Stiffest Dual Competition Pointing toward their bigg9St dual cross-country race of the sea son with Manhattan, last year's IC4-A championship team, the Nittany Lion harriers ran , a stiff five-mile pace-making grind yes terday. 'With the bad news that Alex Bourgerie, second best Lion har rier, might be out of action this year because his pulled tendon has failed to respond to treatment, Coach Chick Werner finds that he has a few unexpected possibilities in Vern Kotz and Bill Burkhart. This harrier pair has suddenly swung into top-notch form in the past week's workouts, and they show good promise •in filling the shoes of Herm Goffberg and Max Peters, injured varsity men who resumed harrier practice this week. Captain Bill Smith will seek his third straight season's triumph when he races the Jaspers across the Van Cortland Park course where he gained fame as the 1938 IC4-A champ. Vargo Elected President Of Phys Ed Fraternity Tom Vargo varsity end on the football eleven, has been elected president of Phi Epsilon Kappa, professional physical education fraternity. Other officers, all enrolled in the College's School of Physical Edu cation and Athletics, are Craig White. vice-president; Lawrence Tate, treasurer; and Donald Yoho, historian. The University of South Caro lina passing combination of Al Grygo, halfback, to Alex Urban, end, is probably the most danger our in the Palmetto state this fall. Against Duqesne this aerial mind ed pair struck twice for 12 points. d Work In Temple Ti ng Gri Jordan Hall's tally came late in the second period after Roman Omolecki's pass to Cohen brought them into scoring territory. A play later, Omolecki again passed to Cohen who lateraled the ball to Pete Kronis for the goal. The at tempt for the extra point failed. The SAE-Alpha Chi Sig game quickly developed into a passing duel between SAE Johnny Barr and Alpha Chi Sig's Dick Vollmer. Barr's passes to Freddy Baldwin and Stover accounted for most of SAE's gains.
