State Brings
Swift Defeat
To Syracuse
The Penn State football mach
ine thrust quickly into Syracuse
territory, in the opening moments
of the first quarter when Joe Tep
sic reeled off long runs of 31
yards and 17 yards to put the ball
on the Syracuse 20 yard line. The
attack bogged down there and
the remainder of the scoreless
period turned into a punting duel
between Robinson otf Syracuse
and Lang of State.
For five minutes of the second
period the Syracuse eleven fought
the Nittany Lions to a standstill
and the highly touted Lions which
have lost only to a powerful Navy
team failed to live up to pre-game
expectations. Then Tepsic cul
minated a 66 yard march when
he broke through tackle; cut back
sharply and scored standing up.
Taccallozi’s try tor extra point hit
the crossbar and the score stood
6-0.
After that Syracuse put up a
tight defense until late in the
third period when, fullback A 1
Bellas, starting from the Syra
cuse 41 broke into the clear and
lateraled at the. 25 to Tepsic, who
travelled the remaining -distance.
Taccallozi converted and the
score was 13-t).
It was the same Al Bellas who
isix plays later broke through the
Syracuse line and with the help
of Ros s Herron, freshman end,
who boxed but the safety man,
scampered over the goal line.
' The final touchdown wag made
after coach Bob Higgins had call
ed on the reserves, Wally Trip
lett displayed some of the best
running seen all afternoon as he
sparked the team to the fourth
score. On the third try he broke
through left tackle, and scored
standing up. Final score 26-0.
Both teams displayed heads-up
ball on the defense as they broke
through to spill the backs time
and time again for lost yardage.
{Nolan, Tamburo and Herron were
-particularly outstanding for the
Lions.
The only Syracuse threat came
in the third period when Dolan
passed to Morrow on the State 38.
Dolan and Cohen moved the hall
to the Slate 15 when the Lions
spilled Dolan for three losses and
put down the only scoring threat
of the afternoon.

civilian life after three years in
the Navy- He has returned with
expectations of fielding his first
track team since 1942 next
spring.

of Illinois athlete turned in a
brilliant record at the College,
scoring the first double in IC-4A
history when his track team took
(both the indoor and outdoor
titles. It was also the' first time
that Penn State had won an IC
-4A championship.
On that top-notch 1942 team was
the most famous track star in
Penh State’s history, Barney
Ewell. In the outdoor mutches he
copped the fabulous and hitherto
never accomplished triple- triple,
toy winning the 100 and 220 yard
dashes, and the broad jump. Bar
ney set meet -records in all of
them.
Also in that bright year, Wer
ner’s cross-country team took the
(NCAA cross-country team title.
This outstanding year was the
climax of his service at Penn
State as track coach. He began
!his coaching in 1933, when he
came here from a coach ng job
at the University of Illinois. Pre
viously, be had held several re
cords in the hui’dles as a member
of Illinois’ track squads.

In New Movie
Approximately 50 thrill packed
plays, taken from the most im
portant football games State has
played in the last decade are now
on ‘ a new film just compiled
through the oint efforts of the
School of Physical Education and
the Alumni Association.
Popular KDKA sportscaster
Bill Sutherland, who broadcast
many of the games included in
the "series, gives a play-by-play
account of the .gridiron action.
Many unusual plays, including
fumbles and laterals are repre
sented in the 30-minute film
which tells the story of Penn
State football for the period be
ginning in 1937. Many of the de
cades star performers who gal
loped to fame in gridiron battles
were soon to change their battle
dress from blue and white to
khaki, the colors of Uncle Sam.
In many cases, those same boys,
displaying sheer determination
and grit, played leading, roles in
that second battle, the one that
counted most.

hooters distinguished themselves
as being one of the best soccer
teams in the country by tying a
heavily favored Army squad, 0-0,
in one of the outstanding matches
in the country. The Jef trey men
put on a really good showing m
a game climaxed by two five
minute overtime periods. ■
The brightest spots in a team that
functioned as a champioship team
should were three first semester
freshmen, competing for the first
time in collegiate soccer. They were
George Emig, .at right fullback,
Bill Little, playing center for

There was a short crisis when
