PAGE FOUR Between the Lions with TED RUBIN Collegian lauds net coach Sher man Fogg's pr o posed . tennis tournament which will get under way over this weekend and will serve to bring all players, new and old, under the close scrutiny of the menwr. Last years Penn State tennis squad went througn a very unsuc cessful season, winning but three matches while dropping eight. There were many reasons for this poor snowing, none the least of which was inciement weather and cold wnich plagued practice ses sions. The material which Fogg and assistant coach Jack Knode worked with was only fair, and team spirit, which is always a vital factor in any winning com bination, was certainly below the desirable. Another factor entering into the poor showing was Coach Fogg's initial entrance into the field of coaching tennis. Although at spring's beginning Fogg lacked the familiarity and orgr.nization which so benefit a college net coach, his rapid surveys of the school's athletic situation soon emerged, and by the season's end, his energy had gained him num erous friends. The Lions three wins came in the last four con tests. But Penn s,eiLe encounters a rugged schedule. Last year Georgetown, Maryland, Pitt, mighty Cornell and strong Davidson, Colgate, Syracuse and Bucknell comprised the slate, and to earn a winning record against this competition will require a far better outfit than wore the Blue and White last spring. There will be a number of openings on the 1948 Fogg edi tion, and the coach is very Le sirous that all students who have had any kind of experi ence whatsoever sign up for the tourney in 214 Rec Hall. By sizing up the contestants, Coach Fogg will be able to draw a sketchy idea of his next team. This should be of immeasurable benefit to the mentor, and we're looking for a winner in '4B. Collegian would also like to suggest to the coach that he ar range to hold late winter practices indoors in Rec Hall, so that his boys will be in good shape and more experienced by the time spring and intercollegiate com petition begin. This policy has been used effectively by other tennis coaches in the past. Harriers Schedule NYU For Opening Dual Meel New York University's title winning cross-country team was added to the Lion card today, boosting the Lion schedule to five dual meets, the IC-4A and NCAA championships. H. R. Gil bert, graduate manager of ath letics, said the Violet harriers would furnish the opposition for the opening meet here October 11. Lacrosse Managers Sophomores desiring to try out for second assistant lacrosse man ager should report to the Lacrosse Room at Rec Hall on Wednesday. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, StArt C=S!‘ak ftMintAJElht. Gridders face Bucknell Saturday In 31th Renewal of Oldest Rivalry Penn State's oldest football rivalry will be renewed Saturdia when the Thundering Herd of Bucknell University invades New Beaver Field for the traditional clash with the Nittany Lions: It will be the 37th meeting of these two rivals. These two teams first met in 1887, which also wail the first official season of Penn State football, and in their 36 meetings singe, the Nat• tany Lions have emerged triumphant on 26 occasions. Buck 11 scored its last win, a 14-0 conquest, in 1938. While Penn State claims an overwhelming advantage in the series, the Bisons have an annoy ing habit of throwing a scare into the Lions camp before succumb ing on the field. With few excep tions, these games have been keenly ,contested every year. With power on the Nittany line, speed and versatility in the back field, and Coach Higgins claiming "this is the year," this meeting of the two teams should prove to be another exception. Up aniu coming in the Lion backfield is rapidly improving wingback Larry Cooney. His run ning and deceptive playing have been sharpened considerably dur ing the last week's practice drills and scrimmages. Yanks Win, 54 (Continued from page one) and that one scratch safety ap peared to send Branca into a diz by spin. He walked George Mc- Quinn on four straight balls and then hit Billy Johnson on the arm to fill the bases. Johnny Lindell skidded a double down the left field line and two runs scored. Blowing higher with every 'pitch, Branca walked Phil Rizzuto and, when he pitched two balls to pinch hitter Bobby Brown, Hank Behr man came in to pitch for Brook lyn. • IY4UUNFf OftOIFIL its CATHAU M MIDNIGHT SHOW Sunday, Oct. sth ON STAGE !
