The fact that Pennsylvania stood
mn under the severe hammering OF
Lafayette is proof Of the quality Of
fight Lou Young has injected into
his pupils. It was a question Of
which team was going to crack.
L.afayette failed and Penn went on
to win what is looked upon down
at Quakertown as the victory that
Is going to boost Lou Young's
charges into championship.
Penn State has not had such q
good season. Hugo Bezdek's Nit
fany Lions have suffered some se-
we're cases OF hard luck. AS q res
suit Of the many mad breaks that
they encountered down at Atlanta
they lost to Georgia Tech. 1t is
no question as to which team was
the stronger. Penn State gained
at will. 1t was only the rarest
kind Of poor luck that kept the
Military Lions from winning.
Syracuse was fortunate to beat
Penn State. The latter gained con-
siderable ground. Many who wit
messed the fray said that Syracuse
was lucky to win. However, the
fact that Chick Meefan's Salt City
lads have played exceptional foot
ball all season makes Penn State
look good because Of the fine
allowing they made.
The Navy has improved since 1t
lost to Princeton. Penn State gave
the Annapolis nnidshipmen beat
ing. In that game the lads from
the hills of Pennsylvania played
hard. rugged football. They richly
deserved the victory they won.
In last Saturdays game the
Bezdek coached machine gave as
fine an exhibition Of smooth, clean
cut offensive and defensive football
hs has been witnessed in some years.
The way they took Carnegie Tech
into camp raised their stock con-
Biderably in the opinion Of gridiron
authorities.
Taking the Nittany Lions off that
performance they look to have q
fine chance to break PENIS win
ming streak. To accomplish this is
going to call for one of the greatest
efforts q Penn State eleven ever
gave. It is a task few coaches
would tackle. Penn has fighting
outfit. They have been taught a
great amount OF football by Lou
Young and his aides.
To overcome this BezdelS's play
ers win have to play supeEfoOtbalI.
In our opinion they are not quite
MP to this Notch. While we think
that Penn State will give the Red
and Blue q hard battle we do not
think that they win win.
Along the rush line Lou Young
looks to have an advantage that
Bezdek caRnot hope to overcome.
MCKINLEY is the best tackle Of the
year. His playing all season has
been OF the sparkling kind. In fact,
It has been some years since a finer
or better tackle has been developed.
Millstead, Of Yale, was rated highly
by the experts last season. We are
Of the opinion that mckinley is
every bit as good a tackle AS the
former Yale star. He far outshines
anything in the East or West this
year. He is going to prove a tower
Of strength to the Quakers.
- Both his offensive and defensive
playing are OF the kind thar cut a
big figure in the final outcome Of
any game in which he plays. Bez-
dek has not a man in his forward
line that can be compared to this
fighting Quaker.
Coleman, Robinson, Papworth,
Wilson, Pike, Butler. Snyde., Karf-
man and SieraclSi are fine for.
wards. All have displayed strong,
fast. effective offensive an6 defen.
sive qualities. Papworth is a fine
guard. He ranks with the best in
the game.
MiQhalsIki Is the only IineInans
that can hold candle 10 this
scrappy guard. The latter Is
Bezdek's best lineman. He and
Provost are going to find their
tasks anything but easy ones. It
looks rs IL the differences. In the
lines would indicate that Penn
holds margin ON their State
rivals.
At the ends Artlet, a big, fast,
