Read The Collegian Classifieds Tackling The Job— -Bernie Brosky, left, and Ken Schoonover, burly Nittany Lion tackles, will have a big job cut out Jor them in Pitt Stadium, this afternoon. Since most of the Panther plays are aimed at the tackle posts, the two talented gentlemen may make or break the chances for a Lioh victory. So far this season they have stood out on the defense. Their particular job will be to stop the whirlwind thrusts of Edgar “Special Delivery” Jones. ' Underdog Lions Combat Pitt's Golden Panthers Booters Lose 8! —On Scotch lour When the Jeffreymen returned for the 1934 season, they rolled up 38 points, their all-time high in scoring in intercollegiate competi tion, an indication that the trip had really taught them something. Oddly enough, Penn State’s out standing player on the Scotch tour was not a Penn Stater. He was John McEwan, Syracuse center forward, whose goal defeated the Lions in 1932, the last time an A merican team had beaten them. His brothel*, Bill, was State’s cen ter fofwajcd at-that time.

Mrtists ’ Course Nittany Booters To Face Temple By DOM GOLAB In their last home grjne o£ the season, the once-beaten Nittany Lion booters will meet the unde feated Temple Owls (how times have changed!) on New Beaver Field at 2 o’clock this afternoon. This battle between two of the finest soccer teams in the coun try, both of whom stress the finesse style of play, promises to be an excellent exhibition of soc cer f.'t its best. Although lied twice this year, Temple has easily swept aside all the rest of its opponents with its veteran, cleverly-passing team, and looms as a dangerous obstacle in the Lions’ attempt to creph into the familiar win column again. Paced by All-Americans Pete Lorenc, inside right, and tall Frank Halpin, goalie, and sopho more Andy Hritz, the highest scoring center forward in Owl history, Temple hcs about an even chance of registering its first victory over Penn State, in the 10-year series. Nittany morale, however, has been high during this week’s practice sessions, and the Jeffrey men, finally rid of the strain of preserving a long winning streak, can be counted on for one of their best perforrrK«nces. So dire things may happen to the Owls’ unblem ished record. Lion Coach Bill Jeffrey indicat- 7 Nilfany Harriers Sponsor Themselves (n National Contest Climaxing a week of unprece dented school spirit, Penn State’s cross-country team decided to make a 430-mile trip to the Na tional Collegiate Cross-Country Run at East Lansing, Mich.—on its own. When the harriers learned that the College could not sponsor a team at the nationals because of the financial difficulties involved, several of them decided to hitch hike to Michigan State. Seeing the display of spirit, Coach Chick Werner said he would supply the transportation if the runners could pay the other expenses. And so, seven students , left State College at 1 p. m. yesterday to participate in the fifth annual meet on Monday. Five seniors are making the journey—Captain Alex Bourgerie, Herm Goffberg, Norm Gordon, Pop Thiel, and Vem Kotz. The other two runners nre Mac Smith and Curt Stone, sophomores. .This is the first time since the inception of the nationals that Penn State has entered a team. Werner was president of the asso ciation in its first year. The jaunt will be made in two orfrs —one belonging to Werner, and the other belonging to Fresh man Coach Bob Grieve. The mentor planned to stop in Dayton, Ohio, last night and ar rive in East Lansing today. The harriers will jog around the course tomorrow. ; Frosh Rifle Candidates Will Start Practice Seventeen men have been ten tatively selected for the freshman rifle team end will begin practice •in the Armory at 7 p. m.
