The Lions
With Elliot Krone'
Sports Editor •
Brami vs. Steel
Although the clash of beef and
brawn is uppermost on athletic
hill, another clash, that of cold
steel, take its place in the
*litany • sports schedule next
week.
Intrigued by the names of
Otnmon fencing' terms such as
epee, foil and saber, 'we climbed
Ag Hill and visited th e person
able coach of the Lion fencers,
"Doc" Arthur Meyer.
"You don't have to be big to
fence," said the associate fores
try 'professor. "All a man needs
is good co-Ordination and a strong
fighting spirit. •
"I can't turn out a polished
fencer in just one or possibly two
years, but 4 the man has the ag
gressive spirit a fencer must have,
he will be able to win.
Good Example
The form er Swiss fencer, still
carrying,` a. slight accent in his
speech, pointed out Rolf Wald as
an example of what a man can do
if he has the ability to fence even
though •he lacks experience.
"Rolf had never fenced before
coming to Penn State," he said,
"and had to pick up his know
ledge as he went. along. - But last
spring he placed third in the in
dividual competition in epee at
the collegiate championships in
New, York." •
Coach Meyer went on to de
scribe the three events in a fenc-.
ing match, the foil, epee and
saber. 'We rarely do well in the
foil, since the foil is an instru:-
ment of skill and finesse while
the epee and saber bouts can be
won, by a man who has a strong
attack-" , ,
For the sOphomore Who is
dined toward athletics, but does
n't' know just Where his talents
could be best utilized, try fenc

Grid Figures Emphasize Loss
That Coach Joe Bedenk's foot
ball charges have a long way to
go before they, can begin looking
like the patverful Nittany team
of a year ago was borne .out by
the statistics released following
Villanova's convincing 27-6 vic
tory on Saturday.
In almost every department of
play the Lions fell below the
averages which stamped them as
one of the strangest teams in the
nation just one year ago.
On the defehsive end of the
ledger the need for improvements
is only too clear. Last year State
held the opposition to Only 83
yards per game, to record one of
the best collegiate records in the
country. The overall defensive
average last season was 158 yards
per game, on , the ground and
through the air.
209 ON GROUND
On Saturday. the charges of
Jim Leonard totaled• . 209 yams
via the overland rout and 101
through the air , for an impressive
grand total of 310 yards.
The ground -offensive was far
from its 1948 pace. Last , year
Blue and White . ball carriers
lugged the leather an average of
216 yards , per contest, but on
Saturday the men of Isiittany man
aged to run up but 103 yards by
rushing.
PASSING
Only, in passing •did the Lions
statistically resemble the team
which last year won seven, tied
one and lost one. Completions by
Bill Luther, Vince O'Bara and
Chuck Drazenovich . added Up, to
91 yards, while the •'4B average
was 93.
Roy Shaginaw, a sophomore
back, was the best State had to
offer in the way of running. The
160-pound tailback rung up 22
yards in 4 tries for an average of
5.5.
The failure of Fran Rogpl to
move the ball up the middle can
be traced to lack of adequate
support. Without ' the' aid of a
parallel offensive on wide sweep
,Wsrin weather. was listed as the
official cause for the postponment
of . a Penn State-Cornell hockey
game in POrUary 'of 1943.
One of the foriorite off-campus
gathering spots at the Ohio
State University is the Pantry
