PENN STATES
COACHES AWAIT
OPENING GAME
Military Lions Will Be Seen in
Action Against Lebanon Val
ley Next Saturday.

CTATE COLLEGE, Pa, Sept. II.
Preparing for the opening
game of the season next Sat-
urday with Lebanon Valley College,
the Penn State coaches have put in
an arduous week Of sorting, sitting
and changing. The return Of almost
a dozen men from the hospital squad
this week gave Hugo Dezdek and his
assistants their first chance to see
the full squad of forty-six men in
action; and as a result greater prog
ress was made than during the first
two weeks.
The coaches are anxious for the
season to open for they want to see
how the Nittany Lions viii perform in
action. With q veteran team, this lie
not 50 necessary, but in the case Of
Penn State this year when at least
seven new faces viii be seen in the
lineup, little can be judged before the
first game. Although Lebanon Valley
was beaten 100 to last year, there Is
no tendency to take the game easy this
fall; for the Lions were at the top Of
their game when they met the Ann
Vile Collegians a year ago. Coming
as the opening game. the visitors
should prove to be a much harder nut
to crack.
Bezdek has selected no varsity as
vet, although he lines up a first and
second team each day. During the
early half OF the week, the first team
lined up with Hamilton, center; Baer
and Hills, guards; MADEIRA and Nc
Mahon, tackles; Hufford and Smoz-
inslxy. ends; Ditner, quarterback;
Lightner and Redinger, halfbacks; and
Captain Smell, fullback. Killinger,
varsity quarterback last lear, and
Bedenk, a strong guard candidate.
were both kept out OF scrimmage by
injuries, or they may have broken into
the lineup. Smell and Hufford are the
only veterans in the above lineup.
The second team has been pushing
the varsity hard in scrimmages. and
an entirely new first team lineup may
be on the field next week. On the
second team, Runser played center;
Logue and Bair, guards; Rugh and
Crowther. tackles; Frank and Hunter.
ends; Kraft, quarterback: Cornwall
and Wilson, halfbacks; and Knabb,
fullback. In addition to these men,
Newsh Bentz, varsity center last year:
McCollum, letter-man at end; Frank
Hess, fullback. and q number of others,
can not be overlooked. The job OF
picking strong line ia causing gray
hairs to gather on the brow Of the
coaches.

From 1908 TO 1911, Ted Bowen held
down one end on the varsity line,
and has assisted In the coaching dur.

defensive line must Of necessity play
wide. Hence the greater opportunity
for effective line attack Of this sort.
Even here doubt II the Harvard
attack would have been effective as
1t has been, except for, the very .ef-
ficient use of the hidden play ball,
originated by Warner, but highly
developed by Haughton.
Hidden Ball Play Success.
The idea of the hidden ball is to
deceive the defensive by making 1t
appear as IL the play was going In
one way while In reality it goes an.
other. Il have never seen such per.
feet deception The beauty Of the
play lies in the Act that the ball
never changes hands. thus avoiding
all possibilities Of the tumble, SO
ever. present in the ordinary criss-
have been drilled and drilled against
their hidden ball" plays, and time
after time they have been worked
successfully against them.
The Harvard offensive system
does not consider the forward pass
IN the light Of stock running play
to the same extent as do some other
teams. Though they win use II
and use II repeatedly IL they are
forced to, as example, the last quar-
ter against Princeton, 1919 and 1920.
The. pass is usually well masked,
starting as simple running play,
but with the pass often going the
other way.
While Fishers work at Harvard
has compared favorably with Haugh.
toms. there has been very little
change In the general style of play.
Why change when you are winning,
is the natural query? In the last
two games against Princeton and
Yale, the Harvard attack has not
worked as smoothly, and II has been
the forward pass and the drop kick
that have saved the day.
(, would not be very much aston
ished to see something little DIFF.
ferent In the way of an offense by
the time the big games come around
this fall. The Harvard attack has
been working along very similar
lines for over ten years row. and
question II II II isn't the part Of
wisdom for the coaches to try Q
change.
The material also makes me think
this possible. Last fall the strength OF
the Harvard team was in It's remark.
able line, most of whom will not re.
turn. Instead of q string Of veterans,
the Harvard coaches will have to drill
a comparatively green line, with the
exception of one guard and the ends.
While they always have splendid ma
terial at Cambridge. the Harvard Of
fensive line attack depends UPON drill
and nothing else. Possibly the coaches
may think their time can be better
spent along other lines.
The material for the baclS-f Is
splendid. There is all sorts of stuff
for the open, running game Buell.
and Fitzgerald are two splendid quar-,
ter-backs with little TO choose between,
them.s Owen was one OF the best all

With a years experience he will
naturally be all the better. In fact,

TROLLEY OR JITNEY, WHICH?
Morristown Record.

Ten years ago this town was strug-
Cling frantically for a trolley line.
Today the town is practically up
against the question: Shall we have a
trolley, or is a jitney good enough?
Not that the jitney is powerful enough
to drive the trolley out of business, but
that it is powerful enough to deprive
the trolley of necessary revenue suifl-
cient to maintain it.
This is much to be said in favor of
the trolley: 1t is dependable, COM
Portable and convenient. 1t pays in
taxes, to the municipalities through
which its tracks run, the sum of $4O,-
900 per year.. In addition it spends
yearly thousands Of dollars for i'm
provement upon the streets of the
municipalities through which it runs.
Every dollars worth of business it
loses through the jitneys, the town of
Morristown loses eight and One-third
cents. The trolley Isl not only a mat
ter of convenience to MorTistoWn, 1t
is a matter of pride, it gives the town
an aspect of activity and up-to-date-
ness that is highly desirable and
which a going town should have.
When the tracks are blocked with
snow the trolley people get busy and
dig themselves out, generally at a
cost of thousands of dollars.
What can be said of the jitney? 1t
uses the taxpayers roads without
cost. it runs at convenient seasons, 1t
brings no revenue worth considering to
the town, if the snow falls it waits
for the authorities to dig it out, it
maintains no streets within the NUM-
cipality, it simply destroys, it tears
down an institution of which the town
should, and is, proud. 1t is governed
by neither ordinance or utility board,
so far as fares are concerned, it cuts
fares when it thinks it has an oppor-
tunity to benefit itself, and would I'M
doubtedly raise them at almost any
point, and cheerfully, if the oppor-
tunity presented itself. There really
doesn't seem to be very much to say
in favor of the iitney as a rival of the
trolley.-Morristown, On. j. Record.

Sunshine Secure of Future Fuel

Sun energy may be changed some
day into a substitute for coal and
other fuels, according to DR.. j. How
ard Mathews. of the University of
Wisconsin. in a recent address before
the Chicago Section of the American
Chemical Society. With constantly
diminishing reserves Of fuel the ques-
ton of the utilization of the radiant
energy from the sun becomes more
and more of a live question. What
will the world do when fuel is gone?
Such a possibility is, at least, geologI-
cally speaking, a question of the al.
most immediate future. Hundreds OF
millions of horse power of energ% are
coming continuously from the sun.
How can this energy be stored up and
transformed into a useful form OF
force? The optomistic photo-chemlst
believes that it can be employed to
bring about certain chemical reactions,
which. by their reversal, will again
liberate it. preferably in the form of
electricity. The dream is no more
chemical than was that vision OF a
hundred years ago, in which electricity
was conceived as stored and utilized.
DR.. Mathews remarked that the
farmer was a practical photo-chemist,
and the growing of crops the greatest
Of all photo-chemical reactions. WITH
the aid of that mysterious substance,
chlorophyIl, which imparts the green
color to the leaves, the agflcuIturlS!

Unites Various elements which make
up vegetation and is therefore a cat

notes or retards chemical reaction be
tween other materials without beng
itself affected. What a boon to man
kind would it be if the photo-chemist
could discover some catalyst which
would enable this reaction of water
and carbon dioxide to form a carbo.

EASY TO BUILD FIRE ON ICE
With the Understanding of the Proper

Carbide or more properly, calcium
