Team Set for H-coming Tilt
With the outcome of last year's Homecoming game in mind, the Nittany Lions will be on the field
facing Syracuse Saturday determined to make this Homecoming a happy one.
Last year the Blue and White lost a heart-breaker to Michigan State when a little bit of dyna
mite by the name of George Guerre broke loose from out of the blue.
Syracuse will be invading the Lion's den with two wins and one loss to its credit. The Orange
men took a close 14-7 victory over Niagara, lost to Dartmouth 28-7, and last week sent the Temple
Owls home on the short end of a 28-12 score
Coach Bob Higgins' charges come into the traditional Syracuse battle with an undefeated slate,
and they hope to hold this record before a capacity Homecoming Day crowd.
MUDDY GAME
Last years game, which was
played at Syracuse, was a muddy
battle of forward walls from
start to finish. Althouh the Salt
ine Warriors piled up 13 first
downs to the Lions' four, the
Penn Staters came home with a
9-0 win.
With a kicker like Joe Colone
in the lineup, the obvious thing
to do was keep kicking and wait
for a break. As a result Bill Or
ange knocked himself out deep
in his own territory, piling up an
impressive set of statistics in
yardage and first downs.
Ribs Raysinger, new Syracuse
skipper, will be bringing with
him many of the hard-battling
gridders who met the Lions in
last years tussle.
Standout in the Orange back
field is Slivers Slovenski, a fast
and shifty runner who is tough
to collar once he gets into the
open. Also a dangerous passer,
Slovenski starred with the fam
out Fleet City eleven while in the
Navy.
Passing Attack
Rip Fornal, Syracuse blocking
back, is an exceptionally good
bullet passer. With all the pass
ing talent available, Coach Bay
singer is expecting to fill the air
with passes in an attempt to
score quickly on the cagey Nit
tany Lions.
An interesting angle of Satur
day's contest may be a punting
duel staged by Joe Colone and
Jimmy Dragotta, another Syra
cuse veteran. Both rank with the
best in the East. During the Dart
mouth game, Dragotta, who is an
end, let one sail 67 yeards.
Expecting their first tough
game of the season, the Penn
Staters buckled down to serious
practice this week with a great
deal of concentration on the Syr
acuse attack.
Like Coach Higgins, Ribs Bay
singer started practice last
Spring with his team operating
from a T. Using a single wing so
far this season, the Syracuse plays
are much like those of the Lions.
Hurt in scrinunage this week,
the Lions may be minus co-cap-

ME DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, P'ENNS'YLVANIA
While football dominates the
sports scene, a large group of la
crosse candidates are holding
daily Fall practice sessions on
the grounds adjoining the golf
course.
Under the guidance and in
struction of Nick Thiel, lacrosse
coach, twenty-five experienced
holdovers from last season are
participating in earnest and vig
orous scrimmages. There is also
a crop of thirty ambitious sopho
mor e s acquainting themselves
with the fundamentals of the
hooked stick.
Coach Thiel is pressed with the
problem of replacing such stal
wart performers as Art Tenhula,
Pete Jo h n.s on, Ken Kerwin,
Harry Fisher, John Pfirman, and
Captain George Locotos, all of
whom were lost via graduation.
Among the newcomers is Ed
BeMeld, a promising sophomore
and nephew of two former Penn
State lacrosse stars. Ed starred
as a close attack man at Swarth
more High School.
Coach Thiel stated that it is
not too late for candidates to
come out and engage in the prac
tice sessions.
Graduate Manager
Penn State's new graduate
manager of athletics, H. R. (Ike)
Gilbert, is not a newcomer to
intercollegiate athle t i c s. He
served as assistant graduate
manager for 21 years.
