Engle said that practice sessions might he a "little rough'
an certain days hut as for scrimmages they're out. The Grey
Earle will stress defensive work
and try to correct the mistakes
made in the setimmage game
with Colgate last Saturday.
"MOST OF THE mistakes in
last week's Colgate game were
due to missed blocking assign
ments," he said. - and we have
to correct mast of these before
next Saturday."
The starling lineup for the
Penn game is unknown. but for
a week-in-advance prediction
the team could look like this:

and Dick DeLuca: center. Dan
Radakovich: quarterback. Milt

Emil Caprara.
Engle is still undecided as to
who will start at the left halfback
spot, although Alberigi, according
to Engle, is the best all-round
player he has at that position.

You couldn't find many Braves

"We're not tense or downheart

Dodgers have just as much pres

"We're like the guy with a

Out On a Li
A glance at the selections below reveals that no one has gone
"out on a limb" in The Daily Collegian's first football poll.
Farthest Jut on the proverbial limb is Vicious Vince Carocci
who sways from the general consensus in predicting wins for Georgia
and Virginia Tech over Vanderbilt and Tulane respectively.
Earl Bruce, picking for the coaches, chooses Texas over South
ern California as his lone departure from the consensus while
Lucky Lou Prato feels that the halfback combination of Duke
Hunter and Dick Christie should carry North Carolina State to a
victory over North Carolina.
Fearless Fran Fanucci fails to live up to his name and becomes
Kid Consensus this week as he sticks with the favorites all the way.
Pappy Lewis' 20th-ranked (by Woodward) Mountaineers and
Syracuse, tabbed No. 14, could make it hot for Pitt and Maryland—
and our -swamis.
Three of these teams, West Virginia, Syracuse,. and Pitt repre
sent future Lion opponents and bear close watching.
Although picking winners may look easy this week, it' must be
remembered :hat there are no "sure things" in sports, particularly
college football. Perhaps a few upsets today' would encourage our
combatants to test the limb even more in the future.

Girl Varsity Star
Paced Lion Netmen
By LIL JUNAS
There's always a first time, and
at Penn State it happened in 1935
—a woman on a varsity team.
She was Dorothy Louise Ander
son, who won six out of seven
matches as a tennis standout. The
startling part of the deal was that
her opponents were men—all who
were cited as the best college ten
nis players in the East.
Coming across the country from
California wh2re she learned the
fundamentals of the sport, Doro
thy was ineligible to play for a
year—a rule similar to the one
covering men's sports today.
Despite her height, she was
fast and graceful and perfected
a hard-hitting forehand.
She swept over Carnegie Tech,
Bucknell, Gettysburg, Johns Hop
kins, and Syracuse before being
stomped by Cornell. This defeat
did not mar her hopes, however,
because most of her male team
mates were also set back.
Although our female heroine
might have been the answer to
her coach's prayer, her sex caused
him trouble when it came time to
make traveling accommodations
for the team. Her coach, H. W.
"Dink" Stover, usually managed
to house her in a sorority house
or woman's dorm, but sometimes
ended up with a hotel bilL
