interesting study in psychology of

cautious. Mack went plodding along

It was between Elmo Flores, the
Filipino lightweight. who is Pancho

BEZDEK GUARDS
AGAINST TEAM
GOING STALE
Penn State Coach Orders Daily
Practice Until Gridders Start
for California.
q TATE COLLEGE, Pa, Dec.

.o TATE COLLEGE, Pa, Dec.
- 15.-Coach Hugo Bezdek has
~ made a change in his plans
for conditioning the Penn State
football team for its trip to the
coast to play the University Of
Southern California, and starting
today the Lions will hold daily
workouts until the day of depar-
ture, December 10. Bezdek had
originally planned to hold prac-
tice only three days each week.
The shift in plans is due to the
fighting spirit that the players have
developed in their workouts thus
far. which indicate that there is no
chance of having them grow stale
because of too much practice. The
scrimmage on Saturday between the
first ana second teams was as hard
fought as any that have taken place
all season, and there Is quite q bat.
tie on for several positions on the
varsity.
This week will prove the deciding
period in the formation of the line
up that will start against the Tro-
jams, and 1t is possible that Bezdek
will pick the first eleven and then
work them together for three or
four days before leaving for the
coast. The chief fights for position
are in the line. where Capt. Bentz
and Hamilton are graphing for cen
ter; Provost and Flock for left
guard; johnson and Logue for left
tackle, and Anderson and Reed for
left end. The latter position will
no doubt be held down by Hap
Frank, however, as soon as the
Harrisburg lad is able to get hack
into scrimfnage. John Patten and
Ross Hufford are fighting for the
right halfback post. and it is q toss
up between them.
Coach Bezdek has definitely put
the quietus on the suggestion that
the Penn State squad might take in
the Pitt-Standford game at Palo
Alto on December 30, by telling his
players that every thought must be
concentrated on a victory over
Southern California on New Years
Day, with no side attractions.
