P.AGE FOUR
r..
11, (~tween The .Lions
Recent performances of the Nittany Lion gridders in practice
'games with other collegiate teams indicates that the Blue and White
Stjuad has good passers, runners, and kickers.
Penn State fans, however, will not see the white-clad "milk
',men"• in action until Saturday when they tangle with the Bucknell
Bisons in the traditional rivalry which has always been a good scrap.
Since August 18, the squad has been working hard to pare down
weight and get back into fighting shape. Duquesne University, which
is only playing practice games this season, visited the Nittany Vale
on September 21st to see if the Lions were as good as some sports
writers claimed. They found out readily enough when they dropped
:a 24 to 13 tussle.
Bob Orion, wingback, scored first on a 45-yard dash around end
and set up the second touchdown with a 35-yard run around the
other end. Fullback Bob Weitzel, now on the' sidelines indefinitely
,with a bad knee, later went 45
yards for another score. The last
'touchdown was scored from the
one -yartstripe by Larry Joe after
a drive of 50 yards. The Dukes
scored their touchdowns on aerials
the last period.
)ern Scrimmage
The following Tuesday, the Blue
and White gridders went to Her
shey to scrimmage the highly
touted Penn e 1e v e n. Although
!Fenn outscored the Higginsmen
.in• the pouring rain by two touch
downs to one, it was an even
game all the way.
Joe Colone's punting kept the
,pressure on the Red and Blue un
til they were sitting on their own
goal line. The hard-charging Lion
Vile then forced Penn to hurry a
runt. It took just three plays for
Bobby Williams to make the
touchdown.
Numerous mistakes were made
these scrimmages but a lot was
learned. For one thing, Larry Joe
has a bad case of the "nmffles"
and isn't always dependable on
-the receiving end of a punt.
Williams Improve
Bobby Williams; 165-pound ace
Tasser, has developed into a really
fine runner and a good signal call
er. That Bobby is game can be
'testified by the Penn scrimmage
in which he kept charging into
the left tackle position of All-
American George Savitsky, and
making gains. When the "Hig"
told Bobby that Savitsky was All-
American tackle last season, the
tailback was more than surprised:
Hilt's Humor
The new men on the squad are
already used to the caustic humor
'of the "Hig." In one scrimmage
190-pound tackle John Finley
roared a mild oath after a par
ticularly violent collision. Higgins
immediately stopped the play and
remonstrated, "New, now, Finley,
your mother would slap your face
jf she heard you talk like that." C
