The Lions
With DON DAVIt
Lions Sharpen Claws
In their final scrimmage session
before Saturday's game, Penn
State's Lions sharpened their
claws considerably. Work on their
passing attack was highlighted by
two touchdown tosses by Sparky
.Br - own—one to Cliff St. Clair and
the second to Aldo Cenci.
Aldo might well be called the
silent ' partner 'of the Nittany
backfield. Unlike Banbury, St.
Clair and BroOn, who lack little
in the 'chatter department, Big
Aldo rarely opens his mouth. No
one can deny, however, that he
tends strictly to business., In
fact, with the possible exception
of lineman Johnny Jaffurs, Cenci
is the Lion most likely to rate
high in national pigskin circles
at the closr of the Present cam
paign.
In the line, Bob Davis, Mike .
...K&n . s, and John Jaffurs shoWed
up well, especially on the deferise.
Bucky Walters, who took - Will
Van Lenten's position at end on
the varsitv..today, looked every bit
as good as Van. That means we
have three 'excellent ends. The
three positions where - injuries
really • would hurt are Cenci's,
Sparky Brown's, and Lou Palaz

night 'that there seems to be some

that football practices are . secret
and forbidden. He pointed out
that several members of the fa

PENN 'STATE DINER
Bucknell Coach Will
Use Best Fresh
As Reserves
LEWISBURG, Pa., Sept. 30—
For the first time in two decades
the outcome of a Bucknell foot
ball game depends upon the per
formance of freshman players.
This was Coach Al Humphreys'
prediction today, as he sent his
men through their last intensive
workout before the Penn State
game Saturday.
Although no newly-eligible year
lings have won starting jobs, their
calibre as reserves will make or
break the Bisons on • Saturday,
Humphreys indicated. Even this
admission constituted something of
a reversal of opinion for the Buck
nell mentor, who had expected to
find able substitutes without dip
ping too deeply into the freshman
ranks.
This expectation was jarred by
the failure of sophomore and jun
ior reserve linemen to round into
top form in the Lebanon Valley
fray. Coupled with this was the
fine showing made by half a dozen
first year• men in the first game
with Penn at Hershey recently.
As things stand now, fresh Men
appear to be the first-line reserves
at both tackles and at 'one guard
post. At tackle the first-string
veterans, Walter Szot and • Toth
Rodgers, will be backed up by Bob
Haminarberg, a 193-lb. six-footer,
and Wilbur Forsythe, 205 pounds.
The frosh guard from whom much
is anticipated is John Mudd.
