SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1940 rpsh Star paiffer in Experience, Bothltiiiskelrypt 1-because Guy Candy and Charlie Hobbs ran neck and neck in the freshman crois-country- In . meet with Syracuse, which the State frosh 'won 19-36, it's not rea sonable to assume that they have run iSarallel careers in other ways. And, oddly enough, that's just what we found out when" we start ed to inquire about the two ISTit tany frosh who ran the three-mile course in 15:46, only 13 seconds slower than the freshman record. On one hand we have Candy, weighing in at 138, 5' 11 - tall, who never ran cross-country before he came to Penn State from Tyrone this fall. His running mate, -- Hobbs, 125 pounds, 5' 6 1 / 2 itall, ran second in the Public High School Cross- Country Championships in Phila delphia last year after three years . of competition, for Northeast High. Candy's experience in high school was limited to mile races. Last year he took third in the state championships with a 4:29 mile. He's got a good-looking sister who's a red-headed nurse in the College Infirmary, by the way. Hobbs, besides , his cross-country experience, ran' the mile in high school and was a half-hearted pole vaulter. The parallel shows again in the friendly manner of both boys. Both are dark-headed stylists of Gene Yenske's type. I 14 R flig To 'faPital +, .L#Y. yY L. Lepley, ' assistant professor of physchology, will fly to 'Washington, D.

' The whole frosh team, according to Coach Marty McAndrews, is "pretty well bunged up." This is in addition to injuries which have forced regulars Bob Wallace and John Jaffurs to the sidelines and which have made necessary •the transfer of Andy Yurick, guard; to quarterback to fill in for Harry Snyder, second-string signal caller. • Both teams will be seeking their second victory of the season: 'ln two contests the Ithaca youngsters have walked over Kiski, 34-0, and been edged 7-6 by the same Col gate tedin 'which fought to a 7-7 tie with State. In two other contests the Lion ye.arlings outscored Bucknell„ 13-0, and took a licking from Syracuse, 20-12. The probable starting lineup for State - : Jack Potsklan, left end; Dan Halpin, left tackle; Paul Schlegel, left guard; Joe Kraynack, center; Jim Bonham, right guard; Bernie Brosky, right tackle; Bucky Wal iers, right end; Aldo Cenci, quar terback; Chappy Peters, left half back; Dan Dimidio, right half back; and Jack Banbury, fullback. 1t0402 Hits Bank Night Going home to see the family can be very profitable if the case , of Lewis C.
