We've only seen three lacrosse games but this short introduction to a real he-man game is enough to make us life time addicts of the oldest American sport in ex istence. While Penn State is one of the eight charter members of the In tercollegiate Lacrosse Associa tion founded 28 years ago, la crosse is still in its infancy in this section of the country. To the average observer scores like Maryland 12, Penn State 3, mere ly indicate that State has an in ferior team but there is more behind it than shows on the sur face. It took a Easter tour through Maryland with our team to open our eyes. Every Where you turn ed, you saw little kids just en tering grade school handling a lacrosse stick like veterans. What baseball is to a Pennsylvania boy, lacrosse is to the typical Mary land youngster. When one real izes that only three State players in the past nine years came here with any previous knowledge of the game, does one appreciate the tremendous task facing Nick Thiel and his novice squad. Nick came here in 1933 after winning All-American fame at Syrcause and has devoted his entire time to building up his favorite sport. His teams have never set sport writers to finding new adjectives but they have always held their own when op- posed to outfits of equally meager ;>. experience. This year's squad is devoid of 6 : : outstanding stars like George Ritter and Bart Buser, both All- 'fif; . Americans in 1940 but the stick men's team work seems to have'::;;? increased a great deal. Undeq.' , the capable tutelage of Thiel, the r;•:. players' stick work is steadily improving, and once they master iir . the . fundamentals of the game . f . .k they'll be nobody's pushover. •:: The most discouraging factor';:":' about the lacrosse setup is the ;• total lack of interest evinced by the students. You can't expect V to find a group of young athletes playing their hearts out when the p. grand stand is empty. The funny i.y. thing is that most of the many !:'; rabid sport fans on the campus p would never miss a lacrosse game . i . .. if they ever saw one. r, i... Today's battle with the p:• Orangemen marks the turning I.:. point of the campaign for the '.. Lion stickmen.

Nittany Stickmen Face Syracuse Here Today By DAVE SAMUELS Determined to shake the losing jinx which has dogged them in their past three encounters, the Lion lacrossmen will open their 1941 home campaign against a high-scoring Syracuse ten on New Beaver Field today at 4 o'clock. Not only will the Nittanymen be seeking their first victory of the season, after .being trimmed by top-notch opponents, but also revenge for last year's 16-6 trouncing by the Orangemen at Syracuse. During the past week-and-a half of practice, Coach Nick Thiel has sent his Lion stickmen through intensive drills in offen sive plays in hopes of throttling the high powered offense for which the Orange-clad lacrosse men are famous. Convinced that his team has come a long way since it lost to a mighty Navy ten in its opener, Thiel, an All-American lacrosse man at Syracuse his senior year, would like nothing better than to spring an upset surprise on his alma mater. Beginning his seventh year as State mentor, Thiel will renew an old sports rivalry with his own college coach, Roy Simmons, whose Orangemen have downed the Lions four times in the past six years of the series. Coach Thiel will probably start the same ten today that he used to good advantage in nearly upsetting strong Swarthmore. Mort Saler will be at goal, John ny McHugh at cover point, Jim my Gotwals at point, Bill Zieg enfus at first defense, and vet eran Jimmy Ritter at second de fense.

Coach Thiel will again look to Bill Ziegenfus, junior defense man, to carry the brunt of State's defensive attack. In all three games this year, Ziegenfus has been consistently outstanding as the No. 1 defense cog in the Nit tany machine. Another outstanding perform er who should come in for his share of attention in today's con test is goalie Mort Saler. Inac tive during the earlier part of the season because of an injured knee, Saler took over the goal tending berth in the Swarthmore fracas and stopped several Gar net scoring attempts. Three reserve center fielders will also be utilized by Coach Thiel against the Orange. Wayne Bitner, Bob Thorpe, and Charlie Lockwood will all see action as center field replacements. In their last appearance on New Beaver Field, two years ago, a highly-touted Syracuse lacrosse team was nipped 10-7 by the un derdog Lions who 'managed to throttle the powerful Orange of fensive attack. Two Syracuse boys, members of the 1940 North All-Star La crosse Team, from whom Thiel expects terrific headaches are Orangemen Rich, inside attack man, and DeJohn, outstanding center fielder. "If the boys did as well as they did against Swarthmore," com mented Coach Thiel last night, "I'll be satisfied." :0;c1 rs.
