.
Once again Coach Nick Thiel has put out a call for lacrosse
players to participate in fall practice sessions—especially freshman
t - kave four years of eligibility, before them.
. 1 / 4 . Thiel's. big problem is getting the freshmen interested in the
game.. Most of the new men coming on campus have never even
seen a. lacrosse game .let. alone
play, it. Hence, they shy away
from trying out for a sport which
is strange to them. .
However Thiel is anxious to get
theseh, men ou'

Ong to Penn yet,
something like 90 per cent of the
varsity lacrosse team is composed
of men who never picked up a
lacrosse stick until they. entered
college.
The fall practice period is de
voted to learning the fundamen
tals of the game so that when
spring rolls around the men out
for the team will have a little
better knowledge of the game.
A lot of people believe .that
to play lacrosse you must have
the weight and heighth* of a
football player. -Although it
helps a lot, it's not necessarily
true. Little men can hold their
own in lacrosse as' well as the
big men.

Have Experience
This is the first. of a series on Pend State's football team,
examining each position to see just who will represent the Nit
tany Liotis on the gridiron this Season. Today—the ends.
By ERNIE MOORE
With four lettermen and i couple near letter winners available,
the end positionS look to be as well off as any other position on the
Penn State team.
Although Big John Smidansky, Mario Santangelo, and Bill Bar
ber have graduated, Rip Engle can still count on letter winners Art
Betts, Andy &lock, Charlie Wilson, and Pat McPoland for exper
ienced material at the terminal
posts.
Sniidansky is the Lions' big
loss: Big John caught 27 passes
last year good• for 383 yardS and
three touchdowns.
Betts, Left End
Art Betts, co-captain of the
Lion gridders this season, played
in seven games last year, catch,
ing 10 passes, good for 145 yards
and one TD. Physically, Betts is
the perfect end,'standing 6 feet
3 inches and weighing 205 pounds.
Betts will start at offensive left
end for the Lions this year and
do the bulk of the punting.
At right end, the probable
starter on, the offense• is Joe
Yukica. A junior, Yukica stands
6 feet 2 inches and tips the scales
at 190 pounds.
• Standing behind Betts and Yu
kica on the offense are Don Ma
linak, a sophomore; Dave Simon,
a junior; Andy Silock, a senior,
and Burt Suder, a junior.
Simon and Silock both saw a
lot of action last season, Silock
winning a letter. Malinak played
for the freshman squad last year
and is earmarked as a future
Lion star. "
Wilson, McPoland
On the defense, the bulk of the
work will be handled by Charlie
Wilson and Pat McPoland, both of
whom won letters last year at
the defense posts. In the recent
scrimmage with Bucknell, both
men were standouts on the Penn
State defensive team. •
Behind McPoland and Wilson
are Malinak, Silock, Simon, and

crack at this old Indian game.
You won't lose anything by it
and you'll certainly learn some
thing new about one of America's
oldest sports.
We understand that a group
of men repr4 , senting the five

to ask the College to bring
back the suspended sports. And
their enrollment argument has
some logic to it. And we also
understand that they won't be

They're' really sticking together

W&M Faculty Hits
Athletic Program ,
WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Sept 19
---(fl))—The William and Mary fa
culty charged today that a sports
scandal at the college was caused
by an ambitious athletic program
which is "obscuring and cor
rupting" the real purposes of the
institution.
In, a ringing, six-page denun
ciation of high-powered college
sports, the faculty statement
said that at W&M "the insidious
influences of the athletic pro
gram have eaten at the most
vital elements of academic life."
If permitted to continue, the
statement said, the program "must
inevitably render the college im
potent to perform its educational
obligations."

Yankees Win on 2 Homers;
Wynn Cops, 20th for Indians
The usually light-hitting Cleve
land Indians snapped out of
their batting doldrums yesterday
to trounce the fading Boston Red
Sox 15-2.
Despite this important victory,
the Indians still remained three
percentage points behind the New
York Yankees in the tight Ameri
can League pennant race. The
Bronx Bombers rallied to defeat
the Chicago White Sox 5-3.
Early Wynn became the third
Cleveland pitcher to win 20
games as he handcuffed the White
Sox with only seven hits. Ray
Boone's homer in the first inning
started the Indian's attack. Luke
Easter and Bob Avila also con
tributed homers.
