Syracuse Offense Too
Strong For Thielmen
Throttled by the Orange high
powered offensive attack, a hard
fighting Nittany lacrosse team
dropped their fourth straight
game of the season to Syracuse,
17.8, on New Beaver Field yes
terday.
Jimmy Ritter with 3 goals and
Captain Bud Dattlebaum, in
home, with 3 tallies were the
only State stic:cmen able to find
the range of the Orangemen.
Despite the splendid goaltend
ing of Nittanyman Mort Saler,
Syracuse managed to keep jumps
ahead of the Lions throughout
the game.
Several tines the Nittanymen
found scoring opportunities but
because of poor passing failed to
tally. Sophomore Bobby Koch
arid little Jimmy Riddell tossed
one goal each into the Orange
netting for State's remaining
two points.
The Orangemen led by a
sparse 7-4 edge at the half, but
went on a scoring spree in the
third quarter to pile up eight
points to the Lions' solitary one.
In a nip -and-tuck fourth period
the Nittanymen displayed a sud
den spurt of lacrosse power to
score three times, but the final
gun found them trailing the
Orange
. 17-8.
Orangemen Ken Malloy and
Laurie Nigro paced their team
mates by each scoring four
points. Every attack man on the
Syracuse team was able to tally
one or more goals.
Lion Coach Nick Thiel, former
SyracuSe All-American, has bow
ed once more to his own college
coach Roy Simmons. With yes
terday's defeat, the count in the
seven-year sports rivalry be
tween the two mentors stands
5-2 favor Simmons..
The Nittany Lions .aren't the
only victims to fall before the
Orangemen's thundering assault.
Last Saturday, Syracuse snapped
Cornell's five-game winning
streak with a 15-9 upset,

Why Spring Football?
It's ninety in the shade, all the
dubbers are out wrecking Bob
Rutherford's spacious lawn, and
it's only 157 days 'till the Lions
open their 1941 gridiron cam
paign with Colgate's Red Raiders
on October 4. You've probably
guessed it, the heat got us, and
spring and sweaters notwith
standing, we're going to give you
our expert opinion (backed by
five years of bench warming) on
the forthcoming football wars.
What made us take this out-of
season prospective, when daisy
picking and shorts are in style, is
the climax to the Higmen's spring
practice sessions Saturday after
noon. Just like all other football
followers around these hills, we
bemoaned the gapping holes left
in the Lions' lineup by the out
going seniors and were all ready
to throw in the towel when the
Duquesne" powerhouse eleven
would riddle our supposedly weak
forward wall.
Well, we're sorry to disappoint
you all but the 1941 football edi
tion to wear the White and Blue
will do all right by us. To•every
one's great amazement (we sus
pect Bob Higgins' too), an eager
squad of up and coming sopho
mores, ably supported by several
season campaigners like Captain
Len Krouse, Pepper Petrella, Bill
Smaltz and Sparky Brown, tore
into the Dukes with vengeance
and before the game was more
than half over, piled up a com
manding 18-0 lead.
Let Boys Have Fun
True, the Nittanymen cooled
off somewhat after this and per
mitted the visitors to deadlock
the count before the final gun
sounded. But for that, Duquesne
can thank Bob Higgins and his
generosity. The Hig evidently
thought more of giving his entire
squad the experience of playing
against a standout opponent than
chalking up a meaningless vic
tory, which he could have easily
done.

It's very refreshing in these
days of cut-throat competition, on
and off athletic fields, to find one
big time coach who places sport
manship and conditioning of his
boys on such a high level. After
watching your sophomores filling
in your so-called weak spots, Bob,
we're willing to bet the Lions'
opposition this fall is in for sev
eral unpleasant afternoons.
Which brings us to one of our
pet peeves, namely, spring foot
ball. Too bad all coaches, can't
get togethbr and abolish this
practice 'brought about by the
pressure of big gate receipts.
Everyone would be just as well
off in the end and the boys could
take 'life easy like the rest of us.
Or does spring football come
under the heading of national
defense.
