SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19y 1942
Lions, Dukes Scrimmage Today;
AA Board To Rule On Freshmen
Practice Game Kick-off
Scheduled For 2 P. M.
This afternoon for the fourth
time in a little over a year the Nit
tany Lion football squad will take
on the Duquesne EnikeS in an in
ter-squad practice scrimmage. The
•tussle, scheduled for 2 p. m. on
New Beaver Field, will give the
•two squads a chance to break a
tie score phobia.
. The. meeting of the Athletic Ad
visory Board to decide on fresh
pan elegibility will be this after
noon. Indications at present point
to a repeal of the rule that State
adopted in 1917, and six of Penn
State's eight opponents have re
pudiated this year.
Last Spring the Lions met the
Dukes in two practice encounters.
Both games ended in 12-12 ties.
During 1941 Spring practice, the
Dukes came to State for the first
time, and left with their first tie,
18-18.
Duquesne will field a question
mark team much like the Lions.
Coach Buff Donelli lost 16 letter
men by graduation, and. a half
dozen by way of the draft. On
hand,. however, for the bluffites
will be Forrest Hall, 147 pound
cat back, who is rated as a second
Albie Booth and a potential All-
American.
Hall will probably not start• in
the game, as
. Donelli , usually uses
the diminutive star as a "spot"
player. On hand also in the back
field will be Kielbasa, hard driv
ing line' plunger. • '
Three men stand out as poten
tial greats on the Duquesne- line,
tackles Matisi and Cibulas and
speedy - Keller, who captains the
bluffites from his guard position.
With five 1941 regulars back,
plus the bulk of a great 1941 frosh
team, Donnelli will attempt to
continue this year the fine record
of 25 victories in 26 games that
the Dukes have, established dur
ing the past three seasons. -
Against the Dukes, Coach Bob
Higgins will probably pit Van
Lenten and Davis or Walters at
ends; Kerns and Schoonover at
tackles; Jaffurs and Perugini at
guards, and Palazzi at center; in
the' backfield the probable start
- el.'s are, 'Cenci, St. Clair,' Banbury,
arid, Brown.
/Bud Davis, candidate for the
tailback position, returned to
school yesterday after draft board
dealings. Davis appeared in uni-.
form• for practice and it 'is 'believ
ed that he will' be able to see the
season through. Bads news via
•
• injury department of Dr, Griess
and Trainer Jack Hulme shows
that two freshman gridders,
Knepp and Oldsey, are in the In
firmary with 'twisted knees.
Another , Lion yearling left
school yesterday. Whitey La-
Flame,.rangy tailback from Pitts
burgh, withdrew under pressure
from• his draft. board. Sam Car
penter, hard plunging frosh, full
back from Johnstown, withdrew
from school. 'Malty IVlacAndrews
indicated that the coaches "didn't
know what made Carpenter quit."

bath Tub Melodies Create Sensation;
Leyden ,42 Organizes Cadet Glee Club
Naval aviation cadets at the
Chapel Hill, N. C., Pre-Flight
school now have a glee club, and
all because a Xormer Penn State
student, ‘ James. A. Leyden '42,
.was overheard singing in thie
bath tub. •
After a workout at rough and
tumble wrestling one afternoon
in August, , Jimniy, a former Glee
club singer at :the the College, -be-.
gan humming a tune and putting
in .the words.
In almost no--time he was sur
rounded by other_Penn State Glee
Club alumni who joined in work
ing out the harmonies and teach
ing it to fellow.. singers in the
steaming locker room.
Leyden, who - ,feels that a long
song will take you more than a
quarter of a. mile on a hike, has
added another verse to "Flyin'
High" which began to rival the
song "Sky • Anchors" for popu
larity among the cadets.
Although the Pre-Flight school
doesn't have a music fund, they
haven't been bothered about buy
ing musical arrangements for the
radio programs they give.
Wonder -boy Leyden arranges
and writes the music for these re-
Soccer Sessions
Minus Injuries
Not to jinx the soccer team •but
records of their Summer and Fall
practices so far indicate that Coach
Bill
most
boys are probably the
most injuryless athletic team on
campus.
In all of these four months of
daily • rehearsals, not one serious
injury has, befallen: a member of
the squad. Of course there have
been minor injuries; the most re
cent being Wednesday night when
veteran goalie Johnny Struck suf
fered a leg injury. It was not
enough to keep him from tending
goal at the Thursday scrimmage.
With more freshman candidates
reporting daily, Cdach Bill now
-has enough players on the field to
conduct two scrimmages with dif
ferent teams picked daily. "The
Amiable Scot" is always right in
the midst of One of the practice en
counters usually playing at one of
the fUllback positions.'
A team promotion idea of Coach
Jeffries, 10,000 match books were
recently printed. The - 1942 sched
ule with a caption "Nine Seasons
Without Defeat," is featured on
the cover. Also listed are Coach
Jeffries, Captain Hap Freeman,
and Manager Eddy Leitzinger.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
citals entirely from memory.
The 60 Glee dub men have won
the admiration of school officials
fOr voluntarily giving up their
time every evening after dinner
to practice.
Reports from Leyden's Penn
State cronies at the aviation
school indicate that Jimmy, too,
has won the admiration of the
whole outfit.
Jimmy, who vowed that he
seldom went to. bed before dawn
While at State, now rises at 5:30
a. m., tears through a full pro
gram of studies and physical ex
ercise that continues until supper
time. Then he's back in bed by
9:30 p. m.
The Glee club finds plenty of
time to practice when they are
cut on hikes . . . twice a week
they take sixteen mile marches.
Music is a family affair with
the Leydens. James, Sr., a form
er member of Penn State's Glee
club, is a past president of the
New York University Glee .club.
Leyden and nine or ten others
of the singers are 'to be sent to
the Naval Reserve Aviation base
at Dallas, Texas where they will
probably form the nucleus of a
new
. glee club there.

"Smart Alecs"
X-Country Squads
Stress Conditioning
Light workouts still are in or
der for the Nittany cross-country
hopefuls as 15 varsity aspirants
completed their first week 'Of
training under the direction of
Coach Chick Werner.
With the stress on conditioning
and not speed, the harriers took
to the New Beaver Field course
the last two days for long jaunts
over the golf course. Freshmen
candidates accompanied the var
sity members last evening.
Although it is too early in the
season to predict who will make
up the 1942 seven, the three re
turning lettermen will have a
definite edge of experience. Cap
tain Norm Gordon, Curt Stone,
and Mac Smith were on last
year's team that won the Eastern
Intercollegiate Cross-Country title
and captured runner-up spot in
the National Collegiate meet.
Another probable starter will
be Jerry Karver, last year's
,freshmen intercollegiate harrier
champt and undefeated in col
legiate competition.
Not to be ovelooked are Joe
Beach, State College High School
product, Johnnie McCall, Rufus
Williams, Warren Stuebing, Ern
est Beutner, and Horne, a trans
fer from Mont Alto, who are all
sophomores with cross-country
experience.
Archie Hyson, a member ,of
last year's squad will have a good
chance of breaking into the open
ing lineup when the varsity JlM
and-dalers open the season
against Manhattan October 17 on
the Van Cortlandt Park course in
New York City.
IM Tennis Reminder
First and second semester fresh
men were again reminded by the
School of Physical Education and
Athletics to sign up before 9 a. m.
Saturday in either Rec Hall or Stu
dent Union if they are interested in
playing in the intramural tennis
tournament.
PAGE THRICE
Ewell Still Races,
Takes Triple Win
In Camp Lee Meet
Penn State Flash Takes
100, 220, Broad Jump
,Perhaps Barney Ewell is get
ting in shape to emulate that
clas - iic colored infantryman who
"don't want no hoss holding Me
back When they blows retreat"
for the ex-Penn State flash seems
to be running as fast and as suc
cessfully as ever.
A recent edition of The Camp
Lee Traveller, newspaper devoted
to the doings of the army person
nel of Camp Lee, Virginia, head
lines the victories of Barney and
his 9th Regiment in the first camp_
wide track meet held at the Vir
ginia army post. Camp Lee .is
one of the largest posts in the
country, its strength being esti
mated at 25,000 last December.
Private Barney Ewell, 9th
Regiment, scored a triple in
taking the 100 and 220 yard dash
es and the broad jump, a feat he
achieved many times in his col
lege career and for three succes
sive years in the IC-4A's, a record
unmatched in collegiate compe
tion.
Barney's times were ve r y
creditable with no one capable of
pushing him. He took the 100 in
10 seconds, sprinted the 220 in
23.2 and leaped 19 feet 11 1 / 2
inches for a win in the running
broad jump.
The Traveller predicts, how
ever, that Penn State's great
track star can look forward to
plenty of competition in an ap
proaching meet in Baltimore.
Reservists To Report
All 'students who have enlisted
in the Marine Corps Reserve at
the college are asked to report
that fact to Prof. Robert E. Gal
braith, Faculty Advisor on War
Service, in 243 Sparks at their
earliest opportunity.
