Lawther pointed out that, al though the 1939 Nittany _court ag gregation subthied the Red Raid ers by a 43-25 count, Colgate pop ped up later in the season and trounced by 10 points the same Syracuse team which had defeat ed the Lions, 34-29. ,"Even John Galloway, the Col gate coach, admits he has a good team," Lawther added. "That's going some and makes me think we'll have a fight on our hands." The biggeit weakness in the team, according, to Lawther, -is the. lack of dependable substitutes. Bob Ramin is not living up to expecta tions and John Linde, the other sophomore sub who has seen action in. the' two contests played to date, is "not ready" defensively, .Law ther. said. Eliner Gross showed a great deal , of. improvement. in , the Bucknell game; especially in his shooting; *Lawther said, while Captain John ny Barr is rounding into form but. 'he'll have' to play still: better ball in order to be as good as he was 'last year." Scotty Moffatt is not yet in top condition and unable to play a full 40 minutes but Lawther expects him to get into shape before the season swings into full stride after Christmas vacation. Gridders 48th In 5 Years Nittany Lion football teams have piled up a .611 winning per centage for games played during the _ last five years. Ranking forty-eighth in the country, State gridders have a-record of 22 wins, 14 losses and four ties. «T HE reindeer has had his day," 1 says the well-known Mr. Claus. "I'm getting just as modern as the college crowd this year—l'm going by Greyhound and really enjoy my trip." That's a break for the old fellow who's always giving everybody else a break. Like you, he'll enjoy the warmth and comfort and friendliness of a Super-Coach trip. ,Perhaps you'll meet him on your way home for the Holidays—anyway you'll think there's a Santa Claus around somewhere when you figure out how much you• save going by Greyhound. Merry Christmas!
