THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 19 Lions Back, Drill For Hoya Battle Having completed their F a 11= scrimmage schedule with what -Coach Rip Engle termed an "encouraxg" per formance against a strong Cornell eleven, Tuesday, Penn State's gridders returned to Beaver Field yesterday after noon for the start of intensive preparations toward the Sept. 30 opener with Georgetown. With only eight practice sess ions remaining before the Lions take the field against the Hoyas, Engle plans to work on the de fense with hopes of ironing out some of the wrinkles in the oper ation of the winged-T. Pass de fense will receive a major part of the attention of Engle and his assistants. The Lions appear to be in good, physical condition as they prep for an improved Georgetown team. Trainer Chuck Medlar had little to worry about following the tussle with Cornell, none of the athletes reporting more than the usual number of minor bruis- I es. Orsini Returns To Lineup With Tony Orsini again .work ing with the team after almost two weeks of inactivity, because of a dislocated shoulder, the Lions should be at full strength on opening day, barring any further injuries. Engle, however, doesn't plan to take any chances and will probably hold up ,on additional intra-squad scrimmages. ' The Nittany camp was breath ing a little easier following the return to action of quarterback Dick Koerber, who played two quarters against Cornell. Side lined for two weeks with-a strain ed knee, the Pittsburgh passer showed up well despite the lay off. He reported no pain in his knee after the scrimmage al though he was whacked hard several times by Cornell tacklers. Engle Pleased With Gridders Engle expressed satisfaction with the showing of his charges against the highly touted Big Red, but refrained from any hand clapping. The work of Vince O'Bara and Koerber at quarter back drew his approval, although he added that the boys are still making mistakes. The brightest development of the Cornell battle was the defen sive line play of the Nittany crew. Centre John Podrasky, a convert ed blocking back, buoying the middle of the line, earned Engle's special praise, but he also lauded the efforts of ends Chuck Wilson and Pat McPoland, tackles Dick Cripps and Stew Scheetz, guard Don Millhouse, and line-backers Len Shephard and Joe Shumock. This was the alignment that bot tled up the vaunted Cornell run ning game. Fencing Candidates Fencing coach H.

But in order to find the other one you must look back in the records to the last year that 'Penn State fielded a freshman football squad—clear back to 1941. That was the year the frosh footballers, coached by Marty Mc- Andrews swept through five straight games without a defeat. The Lion frosh downed Buck nell, 19-0; Colgate, 21-0; Syracuse, 20-12; Cornell, 20-6; and ended the season by thrashing Army, 33-8. Freshman football was dis continued the following season, and wasn't revived until this year.
