RESERVE
viii Develop Two Complete
EIeVens at Penn State to
Finish Season

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Oct. 90
Unless Coach Hugo Bezdek, of Penn
State, changes his plans, the re-
mainder of the season will see him
working toward the development of
two complete elevens an the camp
Of the Nittany Lion. The losA of
so many veterans AMI the resultant
influx of green material made 1t
impossible to work with more than
one combination to late, but the
home stretch Of the season should
witness the rounding together OF a
strong reserve combination.
The Navy game next Saturday
will open the November program
for the Nittany Lions, and the
coaches can begin to point The
squad for the final drive of the
year. Following Navy will come
Carnegie Tech, Penn. Marietta, ard
Pitt in rapid order, making. five
games for the month. This is just
about the hardest assignment that
will be tackled by any Eastern
eleven. If Penn State can emerge
unscathed through that array OF
tough opponents, it will be almost q
miracle.
Practice this week will have to
be concentrated into, the first few
days, for the trip to Annapolis will
rob the coaches, of att least one day
of practice. Much hard work must
be accomplished before the !, Lions
meet the Navy eleven, for unless
Penn State shows vastly improved
team, the middies will win easily
1t is likely that there will be a
lively battle for varsity berths in
practice this week. The fact that
Coach Bezdek started nix new mer
in the game with Syracuse on Sat
urday indicates that ne. still main
tains an open mind as to the ability
of the individual players, and the
men who show him the most fight
will no doubt get the assignment
against the Navy this week. Or
their home field the middles are

Lack of Suitable Field General
Pointed outin Buck
nell Game

my kingdom for a quarterback,
is the cry Of all Georgetown football
followers. Coaches Lou Little and
Mike Palm are leading the chorus.
and the hunt for the elusive critter.
The hue and cry for q quarter
hack came through the many faults
the Georgetown field generals made
in the game against Bucknell, when,
I1y all the rules of the game, the
Htiltoppers should have won.
Errors OF commission and omission
were committed with frequency.
Caffey. Murray and eastman guided
the team on the field of battle, and
none Of the trio shaped UP as
quarterback Of potentially.
Just now the Georgetown mentors
are. stfl1 chatting at the Bucknen de-
feat. Loud talking was heard on
the Hilltop when the coaches got
the squad out for the Monday prac..
,tice. Heavy scrimmage, long signal
practices. and elemental football
were the high points Of the afternoon.
With the Falrman game at Green
vile, s. c., on Saturday, the nearest
objective, the Georgetown board OF
strategy is busily engaged in quar-
terback hunting Gormley - being
used in that position, but ne does
not look so good,s tbs said. However,
the use Of him in the signal position
is being watched. He may develop.
twenty-five men win make the trip
to Greenyille. The team win leave
here Thursday afternoon. The line.
up win be practically the Same as
that which faced Buckneil.

Coaches And
Others

The Beloit College football
coaches are continually getting
'fballed" up. Twin brothers on
the football squad are the cause.
Carl and Bob Brolin are the
boys. The other day Bob was
hurt, and Carl went in at quar-
terback in his place.
After twenty minutes of
scrimmage Coach Kitteringham
found out that he had a sub
playing for his regular quarter
back. When Bob was pledged
to q fraternity at college Carl,
who was already a member,
changed neckties with him, and
received congratulations from

MARINE RESERVES LOSE

y I NEW YORK, Oct. Displaying
against the second string men of
the Marine squad the Scouting
Fleet of the Navy was forced to
j make a record, run of, the year to

were unable to penetrate the line,
or gain ground consistently in. any
other. way, and Leak, fullbaclS,
picked up tumble and ran ninety
eight yards for touchdown. s
When the kick was sent hurting
through the crOssbars,- the Navy
gained a one.point verdict, the
score being to 6. Because of

Ft. Bennings on Saturday, the
Marine team did not use any. of its

Knowing all this, young
America insists on going to q
university where football is q
major study.
One of the reasons why our
colleges are !. graduating II so
many public charges is that
their minds become stunted in
the first scrimmage and few
OF them are ever the same
The present-day test as to
whether a boy is man enough
to go out into the world and
survive long is determined on
an oblongs field with white chalk
marks as gravestones.
If he can't find his way
through this wilderness of fly
ing knuckles, random elbows,
detached insults and multiple
fractures, then he isn't physical
ly fit to meet the competition
which comes after the diploma.
X THE Indians used to have very
barbaric ways of determining
the stamina of the undergradu-
ate warriors. They would tie
them to young stations and
Z then shoot off firecrackers I'M
Hder their feet.
If. the papoose was still strap
|. ped to his mount after being
chased through three forest fires,
a cyclone and two tough winters,
he was allowed to. protect his
life with one pair of 1noccasirfs
and a bow and arrow.
Otherwise, the father, and
mother would auction him off
to the gypsies, who used young
children as the main Ingredient
for goog stew, Western novels,
kidnapping stories and general
hokum.

lTVHE poor, old public which has
been ballyhooed bowlegged in
the fight game, has tired Of

the reduction in prices.
When the ballyhoo birds gel
into the heat of the fray they are
apt to exaggerate a bit and hop
the public with stuff that does
not measure up to the facts Of

Often the experts pick SO and

+ Every student of the history OF
boxing knows that there was
time when the fistic repute Of
Australia stood higher than that
of any other country. We, had the
best heavy and middle weights
living, and we had lightweights
and featherweightsa unsurpassed
by their contemporaries in other
countries. The rewards for the
great boxers at that time were
very meagre, and probably the
men fought and FURNISHED their
skill because they liked boxing
more than the average boxer OF
today does. The commercial spirit
has become more pronounced and
the science of the game less strik.
ing than it used to be. The ideal
is the boxer who allies a fitting
sense of the business side with
real enthusiasm for the game
We believe there are young Aus
tralians of this type today, as
capable of developing into fitting
world champions as in days OF
old.
