Cub Soccer Team Tied
By Syracuse Frosh, 1-1
Unable to get going on a muddy
field at Syracuse, Saturday, the
freshman boaters were held to a
1-1 tie by the Orange yearlings.
No extra periods were played be
cause of the wet conditions.
. After Syracuse had forged into
the lead in the first quarter, Jim
DiSalvo, Nitta* inside right,
booted the tying goal. The Lion
cubs dominated play in the sec
ond half, but were unable to
score the winning tally,

Between
The Lions
With 'PAT NAGELBERG
A Rejuvenated Team
We have been suspecting all
season that the Nittany Lion loot-
ball team was much better -than
its twice beaten record indicated.
Just how much better we didn't
find out until Friday night when
the Lions gave a most • amazing
exhibition of ball handling under
the most adverse conditions.
NYU has been beaten before
and by good teams, too, but never
with the same neatness and dis
patch as was accompliShed by
State - on the Polo Grounds in a
driving rain. The Violets man
aged to score on a powerful Texas
A&M and held Holy Cross, which
held Colgate to a 6-6 tie on Satur
day, to a two touchdown margin.
And yet, against a completely
rejuvenated Penn State club, they
were unable to make any serious
threat and didn't chalk up- a first
down until .the score stood at 42-0
late in the third period. The Lion
offense was devastating and the
defense, though seldom tested,
proved impregnable.
It'S hard to explain just what
happened to the same team which
bogged down against Colgate (that
7-0 score isn't as impressive now
as it was earlier in the season)
and Temple, and didn't look any
too good against Bucknell. Per
haps the New York sports writers
helped their cause by ignorantly
picking the Violets to win.
Two Reasons
• We attribute the Blue and
White's best showing of the year,
however, to • two factors. First
of all, the green forward line
found itself after five games under
its belt. It played a smarter de
fenSive game and when in posses
sion of the ball; opened up huge
holes for the backs.
The second reason is that
.strangely enough, the muddy go
'ing seemed made to .order for our
passers and ball carriers, who had
betth addicted to fumbling in cru
cial spots all year. Friday night,
Petrella, Smaltz, Debler, Krouse,
and Ventresco put on a scoring
jamboree the equal of which we
hadn't seen the Lions make in
four years.
Bill Smaltz kicked and passed
the wet ball as if it had a handle
•on it. All in all, the boys really
looked good enough to beat ally
of the big-time elevens showing
in Gotham the following after
noon. The Syracuse game may be
another story, however, and only
time will tell whether the Lions
have really come into their own.
This is one time when we can
recommend that you be a "yes"
man. Don't say no to the Red

FOOTBALL
Second round play in the fra
ternity league of the intramural
football tournament continued with
four games being played last night.
In the first contest, Kappa Sigma
defeated Delta Tau Delta by virtue
of a pass interception and a fifty
yard runback following the inter
caption. The score was 6 to 0.
The extra point was the differ
ence between victory and defeat
as the Sigma Epsilon nine eked out
a close 7 to 6 win over Beta Theta
Phi. Long passes by the winners
featured the game.
The Alpha Zeta's swamped Phi
Epsilon Pi by a 24 to 6 count. The
running, kicking, and passing of
Harry Korb of Alpha Zeta was the
oustanding feature of the game.
In the final fray, the Kappa Del
ta Rhos took the measure of Tau
Kappa Epsilon, winning 19 to 0.
Feature of the game was a "razzle
dazzle" return of a kick in which
three forward passes were execut
ed and a touchdown made.

'45 Lion Eleven
Tops Cornell, 10-6
Penn State's undefeated and .un
tied freshman football team is
looking to its next hurdle, Army at
West Point on Saturday, after hav
ing added another victory to its
string as it squashed Cornell's pre
viously-unbeaten yearlings, 20-6, in
steady rain and gridiron mud at
Ithaca on Saturday.
Cornell's first-year men jumped ,
to an early lead in the second quar
ter on a 45-yard end run. But the
Lion reserves were aroused and
fought back immediately. John
Moody, fullback, tossed to Cliff St.
Clair on the Nittany 43. St. Clair
danced through the Little Red sec- '
ondary for the score.. Leo Nubile,
guard, missed the•placement.
Dave Alston, negro halfback,
turned on his speed ran ten yards
to midfield and lateralled to Clar
ence Smith, a tackle, who drove his
way 50 yards to the second score.
Dave Alston drop-kicked the extra
point.
Later in the third quarter, Penn
State seized the ball on its 40-yard
line. Bob Weitzel', hard-driving
fullback, plunged through center to
the midfield stripe. When he was
about to be tackled, Weitzel later
alled the ball to Dave Alston who
threaded his way 50 yards to a
touchdown. Nobile counted for,
the extra point by placement.
Unbeaten Middies Down
Sfaters Jayvees, 46-0
Penn State's Jayvee, squad was
beaten by an undefeated and un
sealed upon Navy Jayvee football
team 46-0, at Annapolis, Saturday.
The Middies had complete con
trol of the game, but their unblem
ished record was almost broken in
the fourth quarter when the cubs
went from their own 10 to Navy's
1 yard line on four pass pjays,nnly
to lose the ball on a fumble.
