Pa Gridmen Prepare Defense In Third Straight Practice BACK IN ACTION—PauI Weaver, regular quarterback, will probably return to action against Syracuse, despite his broken right band. The injury does not damper him in his sigtal calling and blocking assign ments. Fresh Boaters To Play Cornell Here Saturday In this Saturday's only soccer game, Coach Clyde Underwood's freshman booters will seek their second victory of the season at the expense of , the visiting Cornell yearling eleven. . Although they make things tough for the mighty varsity team in practice scrimmages, the freshmen have yet to show all the offensive power they are capable of in inter collegiate competition. Inferior Navy and Syracuse frosh elevens have held the Nittanymen to 1-1 ties in spite of the Lion cubs' mon opoly of the play in each game. Bottorrs .>;:; ' .~... Before practice yesterday End Coach . Earl Edwards, who has scouted Syracuse this season, un veiled some-of the mysteries of the unusual Orange Y formation and reversed center which Coach Ossie Solem has used so effectively this - season. "This Y formation: does not dif fer greatly from i the T formation in effectiveness. But with the wealth of backfield material that Syracuse has, our defense will have a real job on its hands," he said. "One, of the main advantages of the system is that the ball- can be passed directly to the halfbacks from center or tossed quickly by the halfbacks or the fullback," he added. Coach Edwards dispelled the conception that the Syracuse .cen ter will be off-balance in his re versed position. -He explained that the center can see his ball carriers easier and co-ordinate his actions more readily. One of the best ad cantages of the reversed center will be that he tan pull out quickly and form part of the interference for his backs. . . . The Nittany end coach,said that Ken Heebner, Syracuse center, necessarily is a smart, rugged play er and may cause disturbances for -1" the Lions. He also added that the hole left by the center when he 1 pulls Out to lead the interference is easily handled by mouse-traps, miLiforsis THE . DAILY COLLEGIAN Reserve Backs Take Long Offensive Drill For the third successive practice the Nittany gridders worked on de fensive maneuvers in an attempt to stem, the offensive tactics which originate from Syracuse's famous Y formation which has caused no end. of trouble for six Orange op ponents this.season. Preferring to ignore heavy. scrimmage because of the Lions' good playing shape, Coach Bob Higgins drilled his cha e rges . in the grid art of defense. The freshman Lions ran Syracuse power plays against the varsity from spot scrim mage and spared none of the var iations which the Orange are likely to use against Penn State on Sat urday. However, the Nittany offense did not- go unnoticed. 'Reserve backs went through a lengthy drill to perfect its strength and will see a lot, of action against the Orange. The Lion reserves will receive a real test because Syracuse's for • ward wall outweights that of Penn State and may mar the effective ness of Blue and White backs un less they can be rested occasionally. Ralph Ventresco, converted full -back, will boost the reserve talent in his new slot in place of the in jured Jack Banbury. ' 'However, Banbury's sprained ankle has re spended quickly to treatment and, according to Dr. Alfred H. Greiss, team physician, he may be ready for some action in the Orange bat tle. Aldo Cenci, second-string 'quar terback who was badly bruised in the NYU game; will probably re turn to practice today. The big quarterback had a tooth extracted and has been idle for three clays. Paul Weaver, regular quarterback, will be available' for Saturday's game. Christon To Lecture W. L. Christon, secretary of the Elliott Company, will speak on In dustrial Relations at a senior en gineering lecture in Room 121 Sparks building at 4:10 p. m. to morrow, it was announced by Dean Harry P.
