FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1948 Booters Seek Fourth, Battle Colgate Today Seeking their fourth victory in five soccer appearances, Coach Bill Jeffrey’s booters tangle with Colgate’s Red Raiders on the var sity soccer field, behind the East stands of New Beaver field, at 3:30 p.m. today. The Lions, conquerors of last year’s “unofficial” Eastern ■soccer champ, Maryland, in a close 1-0 contest last weekend, will once again march onto the field as the favorite, Last year the Blue and White travelled to Hamilton, N.Y., and were surprised by a strong Col gate eleven and narrowly squeez ed by with a 2-1 win. Although favored today, the Lions will have a tough contest on their hands, TOUGHEST Coach Jeffrey recently stated: “Maryland and Temple will be our two toughest opponents this year.” Since the Lions outscored Maryland last week the only serious obstacle now is Temple’s Owls. The soccermen, sporting one of the best won-and-lost records of any of the College’s athletic teams throughout the years, have triumphed over Army, Bucknell and Maryland this season but dropped an unsuspected tilt to Navy’s hooters. Only one of the Lion regulars will be absent from the starting lineup when the two teams square off this afternoon. Chuck Margolf, star defensive fullback, plagued by a leg muscle injury, will not be able to take the field and will be replaced by Jim Kline. TAUCHER Kline and Frank Taucher, other fullback starter, played excellent defensive games last weekend. It was mainly their alert play that prevented the Terps from Mary land from scoring. Ed Taggart, lanky goal tender, is Jeffrey’s choice for that spot with Jim Gibson slated for relief duty guarding the net. High scoring Harry Little will start at his usual inside left post Football Forecast Notable selections in this week’s football forecast by Joe Harris, nationally-known prognosticator, include: Alabama over Georgia, Texas over SMU and Columbia over Cornell.

Soccer captain Dean Witmer and veteran performer Hal Hack man are the starters on the other side of the line with Dick Yegley seeing possible relief duty.

PENNSYLVANIA Soccer Change WITMER ROUND DANCING ADMISSION FREE Fan Predicts Lions Will Do It Again One Illinois fan who is 100 per cent behind the Nittany squad re turned a form request for a Daily Collegian with the follow ing note: “I’d like to read some thing besides a lot of Mid-west football propaganda. More power to the Penn State team—they’ll do it again.’’ He emphatically stated at the bottom of the order, “Don’t de lay, send my subscription now! Football a la Fem By Clarice Liinch Those 24,000 fans who were packed into New Beaver Field last Saturday have added their voices to the ones already clam oring for an enlarged seating capacity. The fans who couldn’t get in are shouting even louder. Enlarging or building new stands would involve more prob lems than the- usual monetary and technical ones, for one wag once said that a university is a college which can boast of a stadium that will seat over 50,000. , Someday scientists are going to find something better than pig skin for regulation footballs. Just think of all the beautiful pigskin gloves that will be cheaper when this happens. NYLON And speaking of clothing, when do the Lions get those nylon uni forms and plastic helmets we’ve been hearing about? Maybe some day the Lions will have a repu tation as the best dressed football team in the country. Patriotism comes first; that’s why the Penn State-Colgate game really should be played on July 4. The Colgate red coupled with Penn State’s white and blue would make appropriate field decorations. Why must all colleges pick on the overworked standard colors? It would ihake things more in teresting if some more unusual shades could be seen. For ex ample, toast, charcoal, mint green, or aqua could be used. While watching the Penn State- Michigan State game last Satur day, we learned why every spec tator, especially nervous ones, should have a program. At crucial points in a game the program tastes much better than finger nails. In the radio broadcasts of the Penn State games, why do the sports announcer and the score board invariably differ by one yard? To the first person coming up with the right answer we will award one slightly-used football (you inflate it yourself). Lions Favored To Trounce Cornell Harriers Tomorro Still smarting from the 21-36 drubbing at the hands of Michigan State’s “wonder team” last Saturday, the Nittany Lion harriers are expected to roar with a vengeance tomorrow against Cornell at the Ithacans’ home course. The Lions will be aiming for. their second dual win of the season tomorrow. Three weeks ago they trounced NYU, 19-36, at Van Cortland park, the Violets’ cross-country home, Their chances of coming home with a victory from the Big Red appear excellent. Cornell seems to be far from a power in Eastern cross-country circles this year. ' The boys from Cayuga’s waters have won two meets and dropped COACH CHICK WERNER the same number, in dual compe tition this year. They opened their hill-and dale season with a perfect 15-50 win over Colgate, followed the next week with another win over Dartmouth, 20-42, and then lost two in a row, 18-37 to Army’s grey-shirted cadets, and 15-48 to Syracuse. Donald Young, who finished sixth in last year’s meet, and two juniors, Bob West and Bob Fite, will carry the hopes of the Cor nellians m tomorrow’s meet. For the past two seasons the NITTANY LION FOOTBALL STARS will be featured with a full page of pictures in this Sunday's Philadelphia Bulletin Copies Will Be Available At All Local News Stands Blue and White harriers have trounced the Big Red, 15-40. Both Chick Werner and Assist ant Coach Norm Gordon are ex hibiting plenty of confidence on the eve of the Cornell encounter. The Lion mentors believe the present crop of cross-countrymen is one of the finest in the history of the College. Undoubtedly the team has one of the best, if not the best cross country runners in the nation in the person of Captain Horace Ashenfelter. Following Ashenfel ter’s record-breaking performance against the Spartans Saturday, Coach Werner commented: “I don’t expect to live long enough to see another race like that one.” WILLIAMS Another lift to the squad is the return of speedy Mitch Williams, who had been out for the past three weeks with a bad knee. Williams has been working out with the team all week and will make the trip to Ithaca today. Twelve men, Ashenfelter, Don Longenecker, A 1 Porto, John St. Clair, Bob Parsons, John Bates, Bob Freebairn, John McCall, Bob Auman, Williams, A 1 Vigilante, and another man to be chosen from among Hal Borck, Bob Bour, Paul Koch, and Hal Wilson,, will leave at 11 a.m. today for the trip to the home of the Big Red.
