Whewl
We quote Nittany Guard John
Simon when Guard Fred Felbaum
relieved him in the third quarter
of the Bucknell football fracas.
Approaching the Lion bench,
Simon uttered these deathless
words: “Whew, I’m tired!” . . .
as if to say that one knows when
one has been in a struggle even
if the pre-game press bills the op
ponent as soft tickings.
Iron Men
Forty-one Blue and While
grldders saw varying amounts
of action in the 381 h renewal
of the Lion-Bison football
series. . . . Five of them played
more than half the game. End
Sam Tamburo' leading the iron
men by logging 48 minutes (24
in each half) on the playing
field.
Not far behind was Tackle
John Finley, who was credited
with 46 minutes out of the pos
sible 60 against the Bisons. . . .
Guards John Simon and Joe
Drazenovich saw 36 and 34 min
utes’ service, respectively, while
Tackle Negley Norton contrib
uted 34 minutes to the Lion
cause.
Among the backs, Wingback
Wally Triplett saw action 28
minutes and Fullback Joe
Colone chipped in 27.
Center-less
Several times on defense, the
Penn State eleven was without a
center in the lineup, since Coach
Bob Higgins preferred to play
four backs in the line-backers-up
posts.
Lion Booters Perfect Passes
For Bucknell Tilt Saturday
With their initial triumph under their belts, a 2-0 conquest of
Army’s soccermen, the Lions settled down to work the wrinkles out
of their almost-perfect passing attack in preparation for Saturday’s
tilt with Bucknell.
Last weekend the Bison footballers came to the College with
le this Saturday the “it-can-be
iy Valley seeking its first win of
their “it-can-be-done” team whi]
done” soccer team invades Nittan
the current campaign, having
dropped its opener to Temple last
weekend by a 2-0 margin.
Last year the Lions trounced
BuckneU, 3-0, but Coach Bill
Jeffrey expects a much stronger
opponent in Bucknell this year.
Jeffrey’s stress on accurate
passing paid high dividends at
West Point last Friday. The
Lions controlled the game almost
at will with the potent Blue and
■White forward wall carrying the
ball into Cadet territory through
out the contest.
No less spectacular was the
Lions’ defensive play with full
backs Frank Taucer and Chuck
Margolf kicking the ball away
from scoring threats on numer
ous occasions.
So effective was their defen
sive play that goalie Ed Watson
had only six saves throughout
the game and all of those could
have been termed “slow drib
blers.”
Highlighting the sparkling of
fensive play was Harry Little.
Little starred on Jeffrey’s '45
booting team as a freshman and
at the close of the season entered
the armed forces.
He reentered the campus a lit
tle over a week ago. This makes
his feat at West Point, the tally
ing of the two winning markers,
that much more spectacular.
The victory against the Cadets
was sweet revenge for Jeffrey,
who last season dropped a 2-1
verdict to Army. During the past
few years it has always been the
two service teams—Army and
Navy—that have plagued the
veteran Scot the most.
Five of the Blue and White’s
’4B opponents opened their soc
cer season on Saturday with
Penn succumbing to Swarthmore,
2-0: Temple edging past Buck
nell, 2-0; and Navy and Cornell
playing a 2-2 deadlock.

THE DAILY' COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Rain, Injuries Hamper Harriers
In Preparation for NYU Test
Both the gods of luck and the weather seem to have deserted
Coach Chick Werner as he attempts to prepare his cross-country
squad for its initial test of the season only three days hence.
Rain forced postponement of last night’s scheduled workout, and
at this stage of training every day’s workout is considered essential
by Coach Werner.
A second and far more serious setback to the squad was the
announcement by Werner that
returning letterman Mitch Wil
liams has missed recent practice
sessions because of an injured
knee. ,
If Williams cannot make the
trip to New York for the meet
against the Violets of NYU Sat
urday, it will prove a serious
blow to the Wernermen’s chances
of returning home victorious.
The Negro star of last season
had been counted on as one of
the bulwarks of this year’s har
rier squad.
With the exception of a few
sore muscles the rest of the 50-
odd candidates appear to be in
good physical condition. The
Lion coach intimated that he
would name the seven men to
morrow who will make the trip
to New York.
He will be seriously handi
capped in his choice, however, if
rain which began yesterday
forces cancellation of this after
noon’s scheduled distance work
out.
Today’s practice session was
arranged so that the harrier men
tor could watch the entire squad
run together and draw deduc
tions as to the form of several of
the candidates, particularly some
of the sophomores.
Outside of Captain Horace
Ashenfelter and letterman Don
(Pappy) Longenecker, who are
almost certain to make the trip,
Werner admitted he was in a
quandary as to his choice of the
remaining five men on the trav
eling squad as late as yesterday
afternoon.
Boxing Instruction
All students who are inter
ested in boxing instruction.'

chance to get a few pointe
from boxing captain John Ben
glian and from boxing coach
Leo Houck.
