Higgins Tackles Task
Of Rebuilding Lion Team

Of-Navy-Varsity Series
JUdging from the results of the
series of scrimmages with the
'giver Ensigns, this • year's soccer
teain will measure• up to Bill
Jefffe,y's - high,standards. The var
sity swept the Navy off its feet by
capturing every contest in the
.series of five.;
performers in these
scrimmiges - were Jake Lombana,
'All-Ainerican performer last fall,
Jim Atherton, Ramzi Gurcay,
Sim Schmire, and Frank Klase,
John Wrynn, Bill Shellenbeiter;
ark Frederick, and Ted
_Reich
lwein, all of V-12, on campus.
Stale's soccer squad moved into
leavy drill this week with newly
issued equipment. A group of 30
'booters is diligently preparing for
the season's opening clash with
Cornell early in October by daily
practice sessions on the golf course
field.
Scheduled contests with .Buck

.will be bolstered by large
. V-12
units, will be highlighted by *V-12

day and Thursday indicate that
the routine will be .intensified
next week. -
The five returning lettermen,
Sparky Brown, John Jaffurs, Aldo
Cenci, Red Moore, and Bobby Wil
liams give Higgins some founda
tion for the 1943 Lion team but
fashioning a smooth running
combination from candidates who
have 'been drawn from 10 or 12
colleges isn't an• easy assignment.
Skull practice for ,_the squad
is held every clay in the Little
Theater by Higgins and his staff
to outline and explain in detail
just how Penn • State will cope
with its opponents this year.
