Nittany Gridders Leave Today
For Night Battle at Syracuse
Seeking to add another scalp to the den wall, the Lion football
team will leave State College at 6 o’clock this evening for tomorrow
night’s game against Syracuse.
With Head Coach Bob Higgins and End Coach Earle Edwards
in command of the 36-man squad, the aggregation will travel to
Elmira, N. Y., by bus tonight and then proceed to Syracuse Friday
afternoon. The junior varsity squad will travel with the varsity, but

ITHACA
Saturday, the team plans to
stop at Ithaca, N. Y.. to witness
the Harvard-Cornell battle and
then return to State College late
Saturday night.
In the final home workout of
the week, Backfield Coach A 1
Michaels drilled the Nittany grid
ders on pass defense in prepara
tion for the expected air attack
launched by Syracuse sophomore
Bemie Custis.
Now in his second year as men
tor of the Orange team, Coach
Heaves Baysinger calls Custis one
of the finest college passers he
had ever seen, even though Bay
singer’s own son is doing the
flinging for Navy.
In the 25-year series between
the two colleges, both teams have
won ten contests while five games
ended in ties. After opening the
series in 1922 with a 0-0 deadlock,
Syracuse took the next four
games and it was not until 1927
that the Lion could squeeze a 9-6
decision out of the Orange.
The Orangemen took four in a
row from 1932-35. It was then
that the Lion snapped out of its
lethargy and racked up a 33-6 vic
tory in 1938, played to stalemates
in ’39 and ’4O, and then piled up
168 points to 32 for .Syracuse-in

Freak Accidents Jinx
Hapless Engineer
Year-Round
How, unseasonal can one
person become?
Probably the best answer
the College can supply is Al
vin Schwartz, a junior in the
School of Engineering.
Schwartz was treated at the
dispensary Tuesday afternoon
for a severe case of sunburn
in the midst of the first cool
wave to hit the campus.
Cause of the freak accident
was a sun lamp which he left
turned on while he fell
asleep.
But that’s not all!
Last May Schwartz was
treated at the dispensary for
frostbite incurred when a
cartridge of carbon dioxide
exploded in his hand.
Football Movies
Movies of Penn State foot
ball games will be shown
every Wednesday night instead
of Thursday, as was reported

The movies will be shown at
Schwab Auditorium at 7 o’-
clock every Wednesday night.
If attendance should prove
heavy, as it did last season, ad
ditional showings will prob
ably be provided.
Since the films are silent, a
running comment will be fur
nished by members of the foot
ball coaching staff.

approved by All-College Cabinet,
the executive committee will be

men’s representative to All-Col
lege Cabinet.
Lowery in ISC
Currently independent men are
represented in the Cabinet by
Jack Lowery. Lowery acts as a
representative of the now-defunct
Independent Student Council.
AIM, once it is fully opera
tional, will take over all govern

similar to that of the men, are
now drafting a constitution for an
organization based along the same
lines as AIM.
