PAGE SIX 60 Candidates Report For Fall Football Practice 1 Soccermen To Resume Practice Sessions With their first contest with Gettysburg, October 3, less than a month away, Coach Bill Jeffrey's 3942 soccer squad will resume practice sessions this Week after a two-week vacation. Practicing every evening from 7 till 9, the booters took advantage of the Summer semester to thor oughly condition themselves for the Fall program. Since Coach Bill perenially turns out a championship squad, possibilities for this year's team which .has the advantage of the two-months extra practice, look promising. The booters this Summer num bered approximately 30 and with the return of a number of veterans who did not attend the June, July and August term, the "Amiable Scot" should have a comparatively large squad to pick from. .A`". .• PENN STATE LAUNDRY • 320 W.

An additional 20 grid hopefuls are scheduled to report tonight. What seemed to be a dismal picture of "what we could have had if the draft hadn't caught us" has been supplanted by a more hopeful outlook by Penn StVe football fans. The advent of be tween 30 to 40 freshmen, and in dications that the freshman rule may be rescinded at an early date makes the Penn State football picture a Little more promising. Despite the loss of 27 members of last year's varsity and-.fresh man squads, 10 varsity lettermen and 19 numeral winners from McAndrew's 1941 frosli squad are among the bevy of candidates that make up the largest roster in Penn State football history. Higgins will have returning veterans in every position but tailback and wingback. The most difficult job will be to find re placements for a first string that should be strong.
