Destiny's Tots
A week ago this time, Earl
"Sparky" Brown was just a third
string fullback on the Penn State
squad, and an injured one at that.
In fact, when the Lions went out
to meet Bucknell last Saturday,
Browny was sitting in the press
box above New Beaver Field, not
even in uniform.
Today, the picture is very much
changed. Sparky Brown is in a
tougher spot than a caterpillar in
the middle of an elephant herd.
For injuries to first and second
string fullbacks Bill Smaltz and
Pep Ventresco have literally
thrown the starting threeback post
into Spar!.iy's lap.
Out for over a week with a
shoulder injury, Brown has sud
rienly found himself the focal
point of all Nittany grid attention.
Upon his bunchy little shoulders
ride the hopes of Penn Staters for
a win over the Mountaineers to
morrow.
All I've got to say is that if Bob
Higgins thinks Sparky Brown can
do the trick tomorrow, I do too.
May his number' 13 means dike
consequences for the West Vir
ginia lads.
With Smaltz, White, and Ven
tresco out, the Lion kicking de
partment is the hardest hit at the
moment. To Chuck Peters, back
in shape after three weeks layoff,
will fall the punting chores.
Though nut the distance @ooters
that the two incapacitated full
backs are the blonde flash has
looked fairly good during the
week's workouts, and with a lit
tle' assistance from Cap Bailey,
may be able to hold the Moun
taineers at bay.
Both Brown and Peters have
shown promise at their new tasks
during the drills since that "Blue
Monday." Brown is running as
hard and handling the ball as apt
as a Penn State three-back
should. Peters' punts have looked
better with each practice.
So if Brown and Peters come
through tomorrow as they have
during practice sessions this week,
maybe the injuries that shook the
Lion foundation will not hurt so
badly aft/2r all.

IM Football Rules
Changed By Board
The Intramural Board has an
nounced the followin.g changes in
intramural football rules:
In regard .to the safety, when
ever the defending team is re
sponsible for grounding the 'ball
behind its own goal line, it is a
safety. The ball is then put in
play by the defensive team on
•their owl, 20 yard line, first down
and 20 yards to go.
The old rule required the offen-.
sive team to ' , kick the ball from
their own 20.
The Board also has decided to
permit a reasonable amount of
blocking behind the offensive line
of scrimmage to give the passer a
little protection. This blocking,
may only ,be done with folded
arms, and leaving the feet is not
permissable.
The results of the games played
to date are as.follows: Sigma Nu
12-Phi Sigma Delta 0; Alpha Chi
Sigma 6-Lambda Chi Alpha 10;
Sigma Chi 7-Beta Sigma Rho 0;
Phi Kappa Psi 13-Beaver House
0; Beta Theta Pi 13-Sigma Pi 0;
Pi Kappa Alpha 13-Alpha Sigfa
Phi 0; Alpha Zeta 13-Theta Chi 0.
Sigma Phi Epsilon 19-Tau Kappa
Epsilon 0; Delta Chi t 19-Theta
Kappa Phi 0; Aljha Tau Omega
14-Phi Sigma Kappa 0.
In the quarter final swim meets
held yesterday afternoon Kappa
Sigma deleated Sigma Nu; Delta
Chi outswam Theta Chi, and Phi
Delta Theta downed Delta Tau
Delta. The three winning teams,
in additi6n to Sigma Chi, will
swim .in the semi finals. The date
of which has not been defiintely
determined.

West Virginia's coach, Bill Kern,
directs his questionable power
house against the Lions tomorrow
in a battle that may prove inter
esting to even the casual spectator.
W. Virginia Makes
5 Lineup Shifts
Special To The Daily Collegian:
MORGANTOWN, W. VA., Oct.
10.—The West Virginia University
eleven that takes the field against
Penn State's Lions tomorrow is
expected to show at least five
changes from that of the Fordham
game, which the Mountaineers ldst
20-7.
The five almost certain lineup
switches bring in Vincent Cimino,
guard; Dick McElwee, halfback;
Vic A'Hearn, sophoomre tackle;
Bob Meilace, senior end; and Tom
Gillolly, junior center. With the
exception of Gillolly, all of these
boys wece in the lineup at the
start of the third quarter of the
Fordham game, when the Moun
taineers drove 48 yards for their
touchdown.
Cimino is expected to take John
Rockis' place at left guard;
A'Hearn, a converted tackle, will
start in place of another sopho
more, Frank Kimble, at right tac
kle McElwee will - take over Ike
Martin's left -halfback spot; Mel
lace, for two years a regular, ousts
Joe Siko ,at right end, and •Gill
olly moves in ahead of - Sam IVlan
dich at,center.
Commenting .on the Fordharn ,
game, Coach Bill Kern declared,'
"players own .zni#alrgs 9Apsed
them to •be beaten as they were.
Mistakes :to which the- blond
Mountaineer .linemen were
"mousetrapped" in the first balf,
-and the momentary lapse in rules
knowledge by his two ends, John
Shonk and Joe Siko.
It was a bolding penalty against
Shonk, nullifying an eight-yard
advance by John Carliss at the
start of the game, and a penalty
against S:ko - for interfering -with
Fordham's punt receiver that gave
the Rams the ball on the W. Va.
46 and paved the way for their
first score.

When the Michigan State cross
country team starts over the lit
tany Lion harrier course ,tomor
row afternoon, Chick Werner's ,
squad will have to lengthen Their
strides -to keep -up_with three of
the Spartans best runners.
Captain Eddie Mills, Albert
Mangan, arid Warren Andersen all
gave State's champion cross-coun
try speedster, Captain Bill ,Smith,
a close chase in last year's dual
meet which Michigan State copped
'24-31.
Placing 13th and 18th in the '39
IC-4A's, Mills and IVlangan were
timed at 27:28 and 27:51, which is
better than any present State - har-*
rier's performance, except Smith's'
25:54 last year against Syracuse.
According to reports from the
Spartan camp, Warren Anderson
has shown the most imprOyement
and expects to offer competition
to our top timemakers, Alex Bour
genie, Pop Thiel, Max Peters, and
Chet Snyder, who still have not
broken the 28 minute mark in this
fall's time-trials.
