Nome Front News
Now with this little prologue out
of the•way we will turn directly to
the question of the day. Will Penn
State's greatly depleted football
squad falter helplessly through the
fall's schedule or will it pull an
other "spirit over power" surprise
and wind up on top of the heap?
Believe it or . not,• Chet Smith,
Pittsburgh Press Sports Editor re-:
cently picked the Nittany Lion
squad as the oustanding grid team
in the . East. Yes, he made this
statement when fully aware of
Penn State's great loss to the Arm
ed forces and otherwise. And he
went on to add, "I 'make this choice
fully mindful of the strong Penn
and Fordham squads.
Hope He's Right
We're 'afraid • Chet may have
gone pretty well overboard on this
prediction, 'but -we also believe
that Coach Higgins will do a lot
better than is the common opinion,
what with a top notch first team
and a good squad of freshman re
serves. Incidentally the freshman
eligibility rule will without ques
tion be rescinded this Saturday. In
the meantime Higging is going
ahead on the 'assumption that
freshmen will play with the var
sity. •
When and if freshmen become
eligible , for varsity competition,
the question of freihman schedules
arises. Should the College decide
to continue frosh schedules or
should they be eliminated for the
duration? •
Must Cut Corners
We say and emphatically so that
freshman schedules should be cut
out. After all, the•best we can ex
pect ,to do , in these - times is to keep
the varsity teams in action. And
with freshmen getting experience
with the varsity squads (assuming
that -this ruling passes) there is no
longer a real need for freshman
schedules.
But getting back for a moment
to Lion football prospects We
have it from several of his team
mates that Big Mike
. Kerns is
training as he has never trained
before. We're glad to hear that.
With Kerns in top form the Lion
forward wall will take on added
solidarity.

To Hold Scrimmage
Duquesne Saturday
Lions
With
Minor Injuries Keep
5 Lions On Sidelines
Penn State football fans will be
able to get a sneak-preview of the
1942 edition of the Nittany Lions
this Saturday when the Higgins
men take on the "Dukos" of Du
quesne University in a practice
scrimmage on New Beaver Field.
"We aren't going to have a reg
ular practice game; it'll just be an
informal scrimmage to help Coach
Donelli and me to see our teams in
action," Higgins stated last night.
Saturday's scrimmage will mark
the third meeting of the two teams
since last season. Early last spring
the Dukes spent two days on cam
pus, and engaged in two lengthy'
practice games with the Lions.
A pessimistic note was sounded
by Coach Higgins last night when
he announced that Joe Reno, for
mer Greensburg High School back
field star, and frosh blocking-back
aspirant, had withdrawn from
school. Higgins was grooming
Reno for a blocking back position
—one very weak spot as far as re
serve power goes in the Lion ma
chine.
"It looks as if -Aldo Cenci will
have to be a 60-minute player,"
explained Higgins. "With Reno
gone we haven't 'anyone left that
looks like good quarterback ma
terial."
Injuries of a minor nature
caught up with the Lions in their
weekend scrimmage sessions.
Johnny Wolosky, *sophomore cen
ter, and Bud Davis, who is fight
ing it out with Sparky Brown for
the tailback spot, both sustained
twisted knees. Davis' injury was a
recurrence of one he received in
Spring practice. Both players will
be out of practice for two or three
days.
Jeff Durkota, sophomore, wing
back candidate, twisted his arm
when tackled last week by Joe
Colone, and will have to forego
contact work for a day or so. Lou
Nobile, received minor injuries,
and will not be able to practice
for b. couple of days.
A decision concerning the eligi
bility of freshman for the forth
coming season is expected to be
made sometime this weekend when
the Athletic Advisory Board
meets.
Indications at present point to
ward the committee's rescinding
of the frosh rule in keeping with
the policy of the majority of the
Lion's opponents.
In the event that the freshman
rule is rescinded, it will fall the
lot of the committee to decide
whether the regular freshman
schedule will also be continued.
