Gridders Prep for Spartans;
Anders Will MisS Contest
Shopa Replaces
Injured Fullback
For MS Game
Penn State’s hopes for an up
set over Michigan State this Sat
urday were dimmed somewhat
yesterday when the Lions learned
that their number one fullback
Paul Anders will be missing from
the lineup.
Alfred if. “Doc” Greiss., team
physician, said yesterday that
Anders suffered a fractured rib
cartlidge in the Nebraska game
and will probably be out of action
for two weeks. He will miss the
Michigan State game and prob
ably the West Virginia contest.
Good Shape
Aside from Anders, Penn State
is expected to be at full strength
for the Homecoming game on
Beaver Field.
With Anders out, the starting
fullback job will go to Pete Shopa,
-five-foot, eight-inch, 172 pound
sophomore. Shopa has proven
himself at the bucking post despite
his size. In the three games the
Lions have played/ Shopa has
scored four touchdowns to tie Ted
Shattuck for top scoring honors.
Yesterday afternoon, Coach Rip
Engle sent the Lion gridders
through a long practice session in
preparation for Saturday’s game.
Powerful Offense
Recognizing the fact that his
team will be up against one of the
most explosive offensive teams in
the nation in the Spartans, Rip
had the Lions working a great
deal to improve their defense.
As the Spartans run from almost
every formation in the books, the
Nittany gridders will have a
doubly tough job this weekend
with their defense which they will
have to pattern to stop three/var
iations of the T-formatiori. the
single wing, and_the double wing.
Pass Defense
In preparation, the Lion pass de
fenders went through a long drill
against an offensive backfield
which worked from all the forma
tions. Tony Rados and Bob Szajna
got in some passing practice while
the pass defenders were sharpen
ing their defense.
The whole squad went to work
against the blocking machines be
fore practicing some kickoff re
turns.
The spirit of the team as a whole
seems to be picking up as each day
goes by. The blocking and tackling
is getting hard and sharp and the
men are showing -that they really
mean business with the Michigan
State game only two days away.
Engle is expected to -put the
Lions through their last contact
work today with a light practice
session scheduled for Friday.
- Michigan State will stay in
Philipsburg and work out there
tomorrow

Post-Season Assignment
Rip Engle, Penn State mentor,
is a member of the . North coach
ing staff for the Blue-Gray post
season grid game at Montgomery,
Ala.
Penn State and Navy will be
seeking to get back on the winning
side Saturday when the two clubs
collide at Annapolis.
Both clubs lost their last
games. State dropped a 4-1
cision to Army while the Midship
men bowed to Princeton, 5-3, in
overtime. The Middies now pos
sess the better record with a 2-1
log. Coach Bill Jeffrey’s charges,
on the other hand, have-split in
their two contests.
Typical Navy Team
Coach Floyd (Glenn) Warner,
starting his sixth year as the Mid
die soccer-coach, will open with a
typical Navy team A fast, aggres
sive,, and well conditioned. Navy,
however, will be decidedly lack
ing in exDerience. since eight of
its first eleven from last season
have been graduated.
The Middies-will also be seek
ing revenge for a 1-0 win State
scored over them last year. The
loss was one of four sustained by
Navy, all by one-goal margins.
Both clubs played Gettysburg last
season. The Lions defeated Gettys
burg 5-2, and Navy downed the
Bullets 5-1. '
Warner, a former All-American
soccer player at Springfield, Mass.",
•College in 1931 and 1932, will
nrobably ppen with six seniors,
four juniors, and one- sophomore.
Navy’s scoring threat will be Cap
tain Gordon Jayne, who will open
at left wing. Jayne was practically
the whole offensive show .for the
Midshipmen ' against Princeton,
scoring two of the three Navy tal
lies, including a penalty kick with
three, seconds left that tied the
game
Strong Left'Side
Other lettermen who are ex
pected to start in addition to Jayne
all will play on the left side with
the exception of Bob Kampe, a
senior, who will handle the center
halfback post. John McKeown and
Bob Michaels, both peniors, will
take care of the other two nosts of
inside left and left halfback. •
The Lions came out of the Army
match in poor condition. Jack
Pinezich and Frank Follmer, two
mainstays of the team, will prob
ably play although both are not'in
good shape.' Pinezich suffered a
pulled back muscle, while Follmer
required two stitches in his head
from a bad cut.' Hap Irvin, left
wing, is also a doubtful starter as
a result of a twisted ankle in prac
tice.
