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.

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

pulls Out to lead the interference is
easily handled by mouse-traps,

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.
