Licn Soccermen Prepare
For Saturday's Opener
. When an underdog Penn State eleven jogs onto the field against
the iron-hoofed Army Mule at Michie Stadium this Saturday 'it will
mark the fourth grid engagement between the two tradition-bound
schools. .
Only one of the three contests was settled decisively, the other
two being ties. The lone victory, a 6-0 conquest chalked up by the
Lions, occurred in the first game of the series in 1899 at West Point.
Succeeding games found the,riyals
dtteling to a pair of stalemates.
A 0-0 score evolved in 1900 in
a game at the Point, .and in the
State College curtain raiser in
1939 the Cadets and' NittailyrrO,
struggled through a'l4:4 , l = tie:

throughout the whole game: but
State was not the only• gallant
team there, for West, Point gave
to the fleet-footed Hewitt a
chance in a• similar manner, and
he showed his ability by scoring
State's only touchdown, from
which Burns kicked a goal.
Burns also made a masterful
effort, but fell 5 yards short of the
goal line exhausted after running
the whole length of the field.but
10 yards.
State's line was like a mountain
on the defense: Wood and Harris

STATE ROPES ARMY MULE '
IN THRILLING 14-14 TIE
State College, Nov. 21 1939—1 n
one of the wildest exhibitions of
the gridiron pastime seen in some
time, the Lions and Cadets fought
to a 14-14 draw at Michie Stad
ium, Saturday.
Unusual was the fact that both
of the first two T.D.'s were scored
by linemen, , with Walt Kniaz,
Lion tackle, and, Bill Gillis, Cadet
center, being the tally-producers.
Kniaz scored on an intercepted
, N. - :ss thrown by Jere Maupin,
Army halfback, and galloped 45
yards for the first State marker
after.only two minutes of the first
quarter had ticked by. Ben 'Pol
lock, Lion pinch-kicker, convert
ed the extra point.'
Late in the first chucker, with
the Lions stymied by the Army
forward wall on the State .25,
Lloyd Ickes went into punt for
!nation. It seemed as though
half the. Cadet line seemed to
take a vacation in the Lion
backfield at just this moment
and when Ickes booted, Cadet
. Jim Rooney, guard, stuck .out
'hid chest and bounced the pig
skin goalwards, where cadet
Gillis scooped it.up and proceed-

ed to travel the remaining 20
yards over the goaline. Art
Frontczak booted the convers
ion.
Time marched on until the third
period before the Lions produced
their second tally, with the elaps
ing minutes fall, of interceptions,
fumbles and otherwise inefficient
football. The Lions had the ball
on the 44 with 8 .minutes to -go
when Ickes, on a fake reverse, cut
over the short side and tip-toed
56 yards down the sideline for - a
score. Pollock converted.
From then on was State, State,
State all the way until the Cadets
took to the air. All afternoon the
Lions had bottled up the Army
aerials, but just one is all it took.
That one came with three minutes
left in the game. Jack Hatch tossed
to Harry Heffner on the Lion three
where he was downed. Frei*
Waddell, sub quarterback, drove
over on the second play and Ivan
Sattein, Army kicking specialist,
tied the score with a nice boot.
