Yes, All In Shorts
' Random notes picked up last
evening while watching Bob Hig
gins, his coaching assistants and
old and new- grid aspirants (all in
shorts) go through the season's
initial paces . . .
With Summer practice not
starting until 7 p. m. and the
warm weather making shorts and
jerseys the accepted equipment,
football practice presents a far
different picture than the usual
Fall equipment scene.
Although the freshman crop
that has reported to date includes
little promising material, the Hig
ventured that this Fall would
find a much more impressive
group of yearlings taking the
field. Included in the freshman
group entering this Fall will be
.roe , Colone, All-State fullback
from Berwick, and according to
Higgins, the best fullback pros
pect in the state.
Two of the frosh now out foi
the squad have reputations to live
up to. Roy Rob is the son of
Harry Rob who played quarter
liack on the 1919 squad with Hig
gins. and was 'rated as second or
third string All-American that
year. With a slightly less pre
tentious record, but more recent
forerunner, is Tony Mazzocco,
brother of Wee Willy Mazocco,
who has both boxed and carried
the pigskin while at State. A
freshman tackle, Pratt, looked
good enough to run through plays
with the first team two nights
ago.
Still Undecidid
The eligibility of freshmen to
take part in ,varsity competition
this Fall is still undecided. How
ever, Higgins pointed out that if
he loses any more boys via the
draft or otherwise, such a move
may have to be taken.
All of the Lion opponents ex
cept Pitt. and. Penn -are planning
to use freshmen for varsity work
this Fall. It is hardly necessary
for Penn to make such a move
since they lost very few •.Inen,
thanks to mass enlisting of their
squad in Service Reserves. And
Pitt refrains from such a move
since it might stand in their way,
of entering the Big Ten, an. outfit
which frowns on such action.
We say that 'if freshmen are
needed this Fail and would be
used only Sparingly as reserve ma
terial, then such a move would be
completely justified.

Frosh Nine Meets
Irvin Hall Squad
Al 5:30 P. M. Today
For the second time this week,
Coach Leo Houck's freshman
baseball squad will see action on
the New Beaver Field diamond
today when they meet, the nine
made up of members of Irvin Hall.
The game will start at 5:30 p. in.
In two starts thus far this sea
son, the yearling team has met
diamondmen of two State College
Sunday School League teams, and
have won one, from the Presby
terians by a count of 9-8, and lost
the other by a shutout score of
4-0 at the hands of the Lutherans.
• Coach Houck, after witnessing
the manner in which his team has
played in both matches, has found
that they are somewhat lax in
fielding fly balls and have not had
enough experience in judging
where to throw the ball during a
crucial play.
The game will mark the start
of the season for the Irvin Hall
team. Three members of the
varsity baseball nine, Bob Peru
gini, John Bennett. and Mike War
drop, will play with the dormitory
squad.
Starting lineup for the fresh
men will probably find Jack Gra
cey at third, Nelson Davage at
shortstop, Lou Kolarik in left
field, Wayne Kreidler in center
field, Fred Shaw on first base,
Jack Lanny on second base, Jerry
Stern behind the plate, and Jack
Berlin on the mound. In two
starts this season, Berlin has
turned in some enviable pitching,
striking out nine men while yield
ing only six walks.
For Irvin Hall, Kintzer will
catch, Wardrop will be on the
mound, Conroy at first base, Gil
bert at second, Bennett at third,
