PENN STATE PRIZES OFF
THE LID NEXT SATURDAY

STATE COLLEGE. Pa. September is.
The 1922 foot ball season will open
for Hugo Bezdek's Penn State team
next Saturday. when st. Bonaventure
will come here as the first test for
the new Nittany Lion. The showing
Of the Blue and White eleven in this
opening encounter will be watched
with interest, for the coaches have
had to rebuild another machine this
fall around the few veterans who
remained from the undefeated 1921
team.
1t still is too early to accurately
predict the probable Penn State line
up for the game with the Saints. To
do so would be to read the mind OF
Hugo Bezdek, and 1t is even open to
question as to whether the willy Hugo
has selected his hrst eleven players
as yet. Judging from opening games
of other seasons, however, It Is quite
likely that every man on the squad
will get into the game before the
final whistle blows.
Bezdek has a habit of substituting
an entire team at one switch. and he
will doubtless use his, first, second
and third elevens in the game-un-
less, OF course, the visitors prove un-
duly troublesome, in which case the
varsity will have to bear the brunt
Of the struggle.
Freshman practice has started in
earnest, and Coach Hermann has a
fine-lookinE squad on hand. They
will not open their season until Oc-
tober Z, when Bellefonte Academy
will be the opposition.
