Soccer Prospects Bright
As footers Begin Drills
Jeffrey Pleased With
Wealth Of Material
Prospects are good for the ninth
consecutive undefeated season for
Bill Jeffrey's soccer team, accord
ing "to the genial Scot who has
master-minded Nittany Lion boot
ers through 61 straight contests
against top-notch opposition with
out a single defeat. He admitted
yesterday that this year's squad
will be as good as last year's.
which was good enough to cop
the Eastern intercollegiate title
for the eighth time.
Gone via the graduation route
are six of last year's mainstays—
Captain Hosterman, Leskaras.
Taylor, Ernst, Dwain, and Hart
man—and the status of Gazzy
Green and Dick Dearborn is still
uncertain, but with ten veterans
and ,last - year's strong freshman
team available. Jeffrey is not be
moaning lack of material.
The schedified opening game
with Gettysburg has been cancell
ed by the Eastern Pennsylvania
school because of the infantile
paralysis epidemic.
Two other minor changes were
announced, as the junior varsity
soccer game with Lock Haven
Teachers was moved up to October
10 instead of November 11, and
scheduled 'for Lock Haven instead
With the season's opener against
Colgate still more than three
weeks away, practices so far have
been confined to limbering up and
getting the "feel" of the ball. How
ever,l.a-number, of the candidates
for starting berths already look
impressive and the Lion mentor
expects keen competition for sev
eral of the positions.
Johnny Struck, scored upon on
ly once as a freshman last year,
is pressing veteran Bob Seavy for
the goalie assignment.
Veteran fullbacks Alan Heck
and Hal Freeman seem almost
certain to .keep their positions,
and Don Megrail will probably be
back at center halfback..
If Gazzy Green does not return
to school, Sammy Schnure and,
Boyd Etters, both sophomores, will
fight it out for the left halfback'
position.
Watt Hosterman's shoes at right
halfback will be hard to fill, bit
Charley Arnold, who saw service
last year, and Bill Prichard, up
and-coming sophomore, may cause
fans to forget last year's captain.
Captain Woody King, selected
on the. All-East eleven last year,
is a fixture at inside right, but hot
battles are expected for the other
line positions.
Line aspirants looking impres
sive at present are veterans Ned
Corman, Anibal Galindo, and
Charles Lischer, and sophomores
Wayne Bechdel, Lloyd Black,
Tommy Rittenhouse, and Ramzi
Gurcay. The latter, who hails from
Istanbul, Turkey, was ineligible
for frosh soccer last year because
of English deficiencies, but cleared
them up during Summer school.
Craig White To Help
Coach freshman Team
Craig White, right halfback on
last year's football squad, will re
turn to the Penn State football
picture again, but this time he will
assume the duties of assistant
freshman coach under Marty Mc-
Andrews, head coach.

boys to the wars in quest of Penn

Higgins Begins
12th Grid Season
With only 'two defeats cha;•ged
against his varsity grid eleven
during the last two campaigns.
Coach Bob Higgins is beginning
his 12th year at. the helm of Penn
State's football fortunes.
Facing the task of completely
rebuilding a• forward wall to re
place last season's "seven moun
tains," the "Hig", will be bolstered
only by the return of several key
men in the backfield.
When Higgins entered Penn
State as a student in 1914, he im
mediately took over the duties of
varsity end, for there was- no
freshman restriction 'in college
football at that time. During the
next two seasons, Penn State won
15 out of 19 games.
In 1916 Higgins was named on
Walter Canna's second All-Amer
ican team, and the following year
he was chosen captain of the Nit
tany eleven. With the outbreak
of the World War, Higgins' col
lege football career was -interrupt
ed when he entered the AEF as a
second lieutenant. As a member
of the championship 89th Division
elven, the Hig was selected on
Grantland Rice's _ All-A. E. F.
team.
Following the armistice, Bob re
turned to Penn State as grid cap
tain of the 1919 outfit. That year
the Lions bowed only to Dart
mouth, and Higgins was honored
with a position on the first All-
Anierican team. '
Before coming here in 1930,
Coach Higgins was head mentor at
West Virginia Wesleyan, Canton,
and Washington University in St.
Louis. In 1927, the Washington
University Bears had the best sea
son in their history. .

Hockey Squad Enters
Second Varsity Year
Ice hockey was first introduCed
last year as a varsity sport at Penn
State. "Considering this and the
fact that ice facilities were poor,
Coach Arthur •F. Davis and his
squad had a very successful sea
son, winning six, loSing three and
tying one. . .
Looking forward , to a 10 or 12
game schedule, Coach Davis ex
pects a good return of t varsity ma
terial along , with more than
enough sophomores to make up
for graduation losses. '
The major problem facing the
hoCkey squad this year is to get
a more suitable place to practice.
The only place they had last win
ter was the tennis court rink
which was available to the whole
student body.
