6Gamo With Mexico
Adds Unusual - Touch
Io Lion Cage Schedule
don't know if they'll be any
'good or not. - At least; they'll be
colorful," Basketball Coach - John
Lawther said yesterday referring
to the game with the University of
Mexico scheduled in Rec H_all on
February 25,
Lawther- said that he knew noth
.i4 at .: all about the Mexican team
thollgh it seemed to be his opihion
that they play a wide open, spec
tacular brand of basketball.
'Other cpponents, not on last
year's schedule, arc IV,luhlenberg
and American University in Wash
ington, D. Cr, Mt. _ Union, Akron,
Kent State, and Rutgers have been
dropped.
Lawther explaineri that the cus
tomary Christmas trip has been
eliminated in order to - shorten the
schedule. -The Lions will play 21
games this, year in comparison
with the 23 - played last year and
the year before. However, those
were the longest schedules \ in Lion
cage history, the previous high
having been 13 games in 1937-38.
The first two games of the sea
son W&J here on December .7 and
Bucknell at Lewisburg on Decem
ber 11—will be among. the tough
est on the schedule if the 1939-40
record,is any. ndication. W&J beat
State, 44-37, and Bucknell won by
a 35-26 score.
A Lawther-coached Lion team
will play at Bucknell for the. first
time. The last, that State played
the Bisons at' Lewisburg was in
'1912. The Colgate gym will also
be new to. Lawthez for the Red
Raiders, with whorr basketball re
lations were resumed last year af
ter a - five-year lapre, -will be met
at Hamilton, N. Y. for the first
time since 1934..
It'll be a long, fast train ride for
the cagers after they battle NYU
in New York City on January 10
for they are scheduled to play Pitt
•
in Pittsburgh the next night.
,The two service teams—Army
ami Navy—are both on the slate
but both games are away from

ruary 22 and Navy an January 8.

Dear Mr. Peters:
I received two marked copies of
"The Daily Collegian," and I• can
not blame you for your letter in
the, paper or your attitude in the
matter if yoil can , really believe
I made such idiotic statements as
I have been quoted as having
made.
BelieVe me. I have. the highest
regard fol. Bob - - Higgins and Penn
State Colege. Neve. have I stated
to 'anyone that , Penn State or
BUcknell scouted us in any way
other than in an honorable and
sportsman-like way. No -one could
make me believe Bob Higgins
would countenance anything oth
er than that of the most --gentle
manly and- sportsman-like - tactics.
' Further. I have never referred
to either Bucknell oit Penn State
as "lesser, elevens," and I have had

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
our publicity directo.: search all
the press stories and we cannot
find where the words were used.
I certainly never iisecl them nor
could I have thought them. Frank
ly, I.take off my hat to these two
great - spirited, c 1 c an- playing,
sportsman-like foot ball teams.
There is nothing "lesser" about
thein.
The thoughtless and misquoting
gentlemen of
_the presh have done
me a_ great deal of harm that can
never be entirely undone. How
ever, your paper, The Daily Col
legian," can probably do more
than any other paper to set the
matter right in the minds of the
Penn State studente in denying for
me these quotations.
I hope I may have an oppor
tunity in the near future of 'being
on your campus and meeting you
and other members of the student
i body in order that I may, in per

son, deny these quotations - and ex
press to you my very great con
fidence in Bob Higgirie and Penn
State College.
Please come' to see me when you
are in Philadelphia. I would like
to know you as well as have you
get a more honest picture of tile.
Very sincerly yours,
Ray Morrison. Head football
coach, Temple University:'
Sport editors note--
We hoped at the t;me ,of our
open letter to Mr. Morrison that
the story appearing in the Phila
delphia Record was not true. But
circumstances being what they
were, it Was felt that to sit back
and take such remarks without
comment was not the manly thing
to do. It is with much happiness
we print this letter of Mr. Mor
rison's. We hope to unwrap the
whole mesc in the near future.
Violets Complete
Grid Preparations
NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 14—
Dr. Mal Stevens, Violet coach,
stressed defense in today's indoor
practice session as the NYU squad
completed preparations for the
game with Penn State. The Violets
will leave here tomorrow morning
for Lewistown, Pa., where they
will rest till game time Saturday.
Forced indoors for the third
straight day, the NYU gridders
were put through a lengthy work
out in an effort to form a forward
wall capable of offering resistance
against the highly regarded State
line. Stevens studied the actions
of his linemen minutely and inter
rupted proceedings often to point
out flaws.
The defense program has al
ready wrought two changes. Harry
Petereit, the regular right tackle,
has been assigned to right end, and
Iry Hyman, the regular left tackle,
has been named reserve center
Without being deprived of his orig
inal job.
The two tackles will he replaced
Stan Rosen and Bernie Jovans.
Woodrow Wittekind, quarterback,
is the only doubtful starter having
suffered a leg injury in the last
play of the Franklin and Marshall
•
game.

Army plebes, 2-0, at West Poin -
Wednesday, to end their season
undefeated and unscored upon.

from a pass by Henry Yeagley• in
the neatest play of the game.
