Penn State Seeks Revenge
Penn State, which we thought to
have a slight edge on the field last
year. has been under wraps two weeks
already in anticipation and in prepara-
ton for another great season. Dart
mouths victory was Penn States only
blot on its schedule in 1919. and the
Pennsylvanians are out to atone for
that defeat this fall when the two
teams meet at State College on Oc-
tober 8.
Hugo Bezdek. who formerly man.

baseball team and the man who is
making mass athletics a huge success
at Penn State, is right on the job,
which means that his squad of Forty is

"Chick" is extremely fortunate, in
this his first year as. full-fledged
coach, in having pack OF veterans to
work with. 1t will be virtually an ex-
perienced line that will represent the
Salt Lake institution this season, with
Hoople and Brown as ends; Usher and
Guiick, tackles; Alexander and Thomp-
son, guards, ard Captain Harry Rob-
erfson, at center.
Schwarzer, star end Of last few sea-
sons, is gone. but Hoople will prob
ably be moved over to succeed him.
