Led by Captain - Leslie Mac Mi
tchell, undisputedly the country's
best. hill-and-dale runner, the Vio
lets coasted to an easy victory.
They captured first, second, fourth,
sixth, -and- seventh places.
Mac Mitchell held a 1:04 lead
at the three-mile marker and fin
ished a minute and 12 - seconds
ahead of Darwin Bruce, his team
mate, who took second honors.
Bruce edged out Curt Stone, of
Penn State, by two seconds in 'a
sprint finish.
The race was the first dual
cross-country meet ever held be
tween teams representing the two
colleges. However, 12 years ago
they engaged in a triangular race
with Lehigh, which State won.
In previous competition this
year, NYU won from Syracuse and
Yale, and the Lions upset Manhat
tan and Syracuse. Both teams
downed Syracuse by the same
score, 25-30, giving rise to a pre
race expectation that today's meet
would be one of the most closely
contested of the year

THE DAILY COLLEGIIAN
Lion Hockey Team
Not To Enter League
A, report
. originating in Phila
delphia that Penn State would be
a member of the Eastern Inter
collegiate Ice Hockey Conference
this winter, was denied yesterday
by Neil M. Fleming, graduate
manager of athletics. . •
Fleming went onto say that the
Lion icemen were getting together
a schedule which will include Cor
nell, Colgate, Georgetown, and
other eastern colleges, and that
the infancy of ice hockey at the
College did not warrant entering
any league.
The Philadelphia report held
that the Lions would join Temple,
Penn, St. Joseph's, La Salle, F&M,
Lafayette; and Lehigh in the East
ern Conference.

Drill Af Ithaca
ITHACA—Oct, 31—Penn State's
undefeated freshman grid eleven
arrived here this afternoon and
held light drills on Cornell's grid
iron in preparation for the Nittany
Lion-Little Red
,game tomorrow
afternoon.
With both teams boasting three
victories, tomorrow's contest will
be a winner-take-all affair. The
Red tide, although heavy and
talented, will face one of the best
Penn State freshman teams turn
ed out in the last few years.
Dave Alston, Negro left half
back, is the big gun of the Lion
attack. He is a dangerous triple
threat 'man who scored three
touchdowns and drop-kicked two
extra points to beat Syracuse frosh
last week, 20-12.
• The visitors may not be able. to
use Ray Ulinski, talented quarter
back. Ulinski was shaken up in
scrimmage with the Nittany 'var
sity during the week and may
not see much service. Harry Tu
cerri is his _replacement.
Coach. Marty McAndrews has
released the following line-up for
the game7Frank Durkota and Jim
Boyd, ends; Clarence Smith and
Joe Blasiole, tackles; Leo Nobile
and Fred Kreuter, guards; and
Joe Cackovic, center. In the back
field: Harry Alston, right half
back; Ulinski or Tucerri, quarter
back; Bob Weitzell, fullback; and
Dave Alston, left halfback.

Booters Face Navy Here
In Day's Only Varsity Tilt
Jeffreymen Defend
64 Game Streak
In the only varsity event being
played at home this afternoon; the .
Nittany Lion soccer team will at
tempt to stretch its streak to 65
consecutive games without defeat
at the expense of an undefeated
Navy squad.
The game, which will be played
on New Beavdr Field beginning
at 2 o'clock, will be the 17 meet-,
ing of the two teams in a rivalry
dating back to 1922. Navy has won
only two of the contests, but in
the past three years 4 pas held the
Lions to one-point margins of vic
tory.
Boasting a veteran eleven with
plenty of deception mixed with
its power, the servicemen are de
termined to annex their first vic
tory over the high-flying Nittany
men since 1925, whet.. they emerg
ed on the long end of a 4-1 score.
This year they have sunk Vir
ginia, Lafayette, Gettysburg, and
Duke, and have battled to a score
less deadlock with the powerful
Maryland Terrapins.
Navy, with its finest team in
years, will give Coach Bill Jeff
rey's booters their first big test
of the season. So far; the Lions
have trounced three vastly in
ferior :teams in Colgate, Buck
nell, and Syracuse.
Big guns in Navy's attack are
Captain Andy Andrews, Bud
Woodson, an All-American pros
pect; Bill Crawford, a- shifty half
back; and Behounek and Suhre,
two players who. ran wild on last
year's plebe eleven. Tall Henry
Sweitzer is a bulwark of defense
at his goal-tending position. '
The brand of soccer that Navy
is expected to display is pattern
ed much after that of Jeffrey's
team. Middle. Coach Tom Tay
lor is also an admirer of finesse
and stresses ball control and
short passes as opposed to the pow
er booting and roughing tactics
employed by many of the coun
try's soccer teams.
Refusing to become alarmed at
the prowess of any opponent, the
Lions are planning no extraor
dinary measures to squelch the
Middie threat, and are confident
of exercising their usual mono
poly of the ball and capitalizing
on their scoring opportunities.
Starting lineup for the Lions
will probably consist of Johnny
Struck, goalie; -Alan Heck, right
fullback; Hap Freeman, left full
back; Jose Lombana or Johnny
Dufford, right halfback; Charley
Arnold, center halfback; Sammy
Schnure, left halfback; Tom Wil
liams, outside right; Anibal Ga
lindo, inside right; Don Megrail,
center forward; Captain Woody
King, inside left; and Ned Con
man, outside left.
Frosh Soccermen Meet
Syracuse Away Today
The freshman soccer team will
strive for its second victory of the
season - this afternoon when it meets
the Syracuse yearlings at the lat
ter's field.
Probable starting lineup for the
Lion cubs will find Jim Edson at
goal, Pete Snedecat and Bill.
Dietrich at fullbacks, Dean/Hart
man, Tad Salon, and Dick Wesner
at halfbacks, Frank' McGuire and
Bob Gerhrett st outside forwards,
Jim DiSalvo and Jerry McKenna
at inside forwards, and Frank Kla
se, centre forward.
Reserves who made the trip yes
terday are Larry White, John
Moorshead, Jim Atherton, Dick
Yoder, and Paul 'Bender.
The Niftanymen have defeated
Mont Alto, 3-0,. this season and tied
the Navy plebes, 1-1.
Lion Opponents
Meet Grid Grief
While Penn State's 1941 grid ma
chine has stalled on the fields of
Colgate and Temple, the remaining
Nittany Lion opponents have their
own grief.
Mighty Pittsburgh, toast of grid
mentors a few years ago, put in an
order for crying towels as this foot
ball season rolled around. But oth
er Penn State grid opponents
South Carolina, West Virginia, and
Syracuse—have managed to . hang
up better records.
Pitt has yet to snatch a victory,
having been turned back by Pur
due, Michigan, Minnesota, and
Duke. Today the Panthers play
Ohio State, another Big Ten trou
ble-maker.
,South Carolina stopped North
Carolina, lost to Georgia, tied Wake
Forest, and . squeezed Clemson, 18-
14. 'West Virginia. has won two
games, but mighty Navy, Fordham,
and Kentucky grabbed victories
from the Mountaineers.'
Syracuse has been one of the sur
pilse teams of the year. Stronger
than advance notices indicated, the
Orange has lost only to Cornell and
has come out victorious in four
other contests.
Soose Relinquishes
Middleweight Title
Billy Soose, the Farrell, Pa., box
er who started on the path to ring
glory while a student here, relin
quished the world middleweight
championship in New York yester
day because of inability to make
the weight.
Soose won the title from former
