PAGE SIX Gridders, Booters At Home Tomorrow With all the hullabaloo over Holy Cross’ passing and i unning attack dominating most conversations this week someone forgot to mention the Crusaders’ line, which was lab ” by the Lion fried “top quality all the way coaching staff. And with rain predicted for to morrow's encounter both lines could spell the difference between victory and defeat. Since both the Lions and Crusaders pack po- tent passing attacks and good run- ning backs plus solid forward walls the game could definitely be closer than the experts anti cipate. Holy Cross' line held a strong running Colgate baclcfield to nnly one touchdown, and that was scored on a pass pity, while the Lions, in their two games, have held the opposition to on ly 290 yards rushing. In the Colgate game Lion scout Frank Patrick singled out guard Ray Guerrard as the outstanding man on the line. “Colgate.” he said, “couldn't do anything through the middle. Guerrard was all over the place.” Tlie Crusader front wall is one of the heaviest the Lions will face all year. Only one man—left end Dick Arcand—is u n'd e r 200 pounds. But what he lacks in height and weight he makes up for in pass receiving skill. He is one of Holy Cross’ top pass catch ers. The remainder of the Cru sader line—emphasizing height and height—will appear like this: Joe Murphy, left tackle £-2. 218; Jim Cavanagh. left guard 6-1. 200; Gordon Massa. center 6-3. 230: Guerrard. right guard 5-10. 200: Jack Kern, right tackle E-2. 230: and Dave Stecchi, right end 6-1, 200.

Since that time. Coach Joe Web er’s eleven has lost eleven and tied one. At one time during the stretch the Orange had an eight game losing streak but this was broken last year when the Syra cuse soccermen battled Union Col lege to a 1-1 deadlock. It appears that more misery. will befall the Syracuse hooters tor the 1956 season. In their opening encounter last Satur day. they were beaten 10-2 by another New York school, Courtland State Teachers Col lege. If Coach Weber and his crew expect to make the Nittany Lion soccermen their first victim in two years tomorrow morning on the Beaver Field soccer turf, they will have to put up a better bat tle than last year. In that 1955 contest, the Lions completely overpowered the Orange, 14-1. The statistics prove how dominant the local booters were. Coach Ken Hosterman’s ag gregation took 53 shots at the Orange goal in' addition to 12 corner kicks. On the otherside of the picture, Syracuse attempted only seven shots at the Nittany net; including one corner kick. Weber has only four men back from the 1555 team who saw action against the Lion booters. Only two of them were starters last year. Heading the list of Syracuse returnees is center forward Dave Eaton who scored the Orange’s lone point against the Lions last year. Eaton has been switched to the inside left position for the 1956 season. The other veterans are Don Wall, Dave Probstein, and Marcel Reeves. Wall, starter in ’55 at left half, will man that post again this year. Probstein will open at the left fullback spot and Reeves will be at right half. The remainder of Ihe Syra cuse learn will find Jim Barker guarding the nets; Mel Dia mond. right fullback; Paul Schoenwolf. center half; Don Knox, inside right; Gaston Ber mudez. inside left; Buzzy Cor bin. outside right; and Chuck Bresler. outside left. In reserve, the Syracuse mentor will be able to call on A 1 Beuses, inside: John Cooley, halfback; John Stallman, fullback; Neal Ceppos, halfback; Sandy Gradin ger. inside; Phil Scatterday, full back; and Sal Strods, halfback.

Before I get involved in a rash of answers to the writer of the letter printed below I’d better wait until the reader has had a chance to read it himself before I comment. Parts of the letter have been ommilted due to a lack of space, but the vital parts are intact. TO THE EDITOR: What makes a champion? Why does one team win and another lose? I'm sure Rip Engle would like, to know ihe answer to these questions. Most mistakes of any game can be reviewed and it can be said that such a mistake re sulted in such a gain or even a touchdown. But does it stop the’-e? Can it be said that one. man's error was the cause of the opposition's particular ad vantageous position at any given time? Is a mistake some thing which can be traced back to a specific time and place? I think not. because the type of mistakes I am concerned with are manifestations of something deeper. Such as the result of fear, a defeatist altitude, or in plain words "not playing your guts out." I am not accusing our boys of cowardice or of not playing to win. I feel that the subconscious mind plays an im portant part in (determining a victory, so' perhaps our boys aren't thinking right. We were as big as Army and. I think, as good if we look stock of our manpower. Yet would it have mattered if we were smaller? I think not. A 175-pound man can-reverse all popular expectations and. if not overpower, at least out-play bis larger foe. In the animal world -it has been proven lime and time again that the smaller creature can kill creatures twice his size, such as the mole. I realize that we can't be come animals but we can learn from them, and perhaps culti vate a mental altitude which will not permit any thought of defeat. Then, such a first few minutes of play as Army gave us will not leave our team shak- Van Heusen asks: DO YOU GO WITH YOURSELF?

I be lieve that the first glimmering doubt prevented us from com ing back sooner and beating Army. Perhaps all we need is some of that animal ferocity, combined with trained skill and the right thoughts to climb to the top of the football totem pole. MY COMMENT: How a person can condemn a team for lacking animal ferocity or trained skill and the right thoughts because its opponent scored two touch downs in 11 minutes is beyond any reasonable judgment I pos sess. I wonder if Mr. Warren is con demning West Virginia for al lowing Pittsburgh to score two fast touchdowns in the third period, or Dayton for letting Holy Cross scorer twice in the first half, or many other teams for allowing their opponents to score before they did and then were unable to catch up in the score and lost? I don’t think so. X think Mr. Warren is the typi cal Penn State fan. A fan who condemns his team or players for making mistakes and shouts comments, while movies of the game are being shown, about the idiotic playing of our team. It is a fan’s prerogative to ques tion a certain play, but don’t be a hypocrite. When the play goes for a touchdown or good yarda'ge everyone praises the team. When they lose yardage or lose the game they complain about the “lousy play calling” or "that butter fingered end.” 1 can go on and on but lack of space limits me.
