SCHOLASTIC STARS TO
HELP PENN STATE
Keen Competition Is Looked for by
Coach Bill Hollenbach Before State
College Team Is Named.

State College, Pa, Sept. 1S.-with the
wealth OF material on hand that repQrted
this week for preliminary practice. Bill
Hollenbach looks for keen competition
for the Penn State eleven this year.
Eight Of the fifteen men who won their
varsity letters last year have returned TO
college, and they are all eligible for
places. Five regulars were graduated, and
two others are in college, but are barred
from participation in athletics.
OF the threescore candidates who put
on their football toys for morning and
afternoon sessions every day until col
lege openss at least half are schooIboys
who have had excellent training in the
of the gridiron game. They
have come to Penn State from prepara-
tory schools and high schools that pro-
vide competent coaching. The coaching
stan looks to several Of these youngsters
to make the veterans go the limit to hold
theid jobs.
With Capt. Miller lost to the back
field through graduation, HolIenbach has
a hard job ahead of him to develop a
man that can I'LL Shorty's shoes It is
regarded as quite possible that Miller 3

or short wind among the men. The
actual football practice has been Of a
very elementary nature. consisting for
the most part in punting and handling
the ball, simple formations and a little
signal work. The monotony of this work
is broken from time TO time by soccer
games.
In the signal practice the men have
been shifted about in their positions
frequently, as Coach Crowell intends to
build the team up from the very begin

the members Of last years squad will
