PRICE FIVE CENTS Gridders Perform For Alumni Guests By PAT NAGELBERG A badly crippled Penn State football team, its hopes for an un defeated season somewhat dashed by the injury jinx which struck this week, will face a lean and hungry posse of Mountaineers from West Virginia University on New Beaver Field at 2 p. m. today in a battle that promises to make or break the Lions' 1940 gridiron season. An expected Homecoming 16,000 crowd is expected to wit ness the first struggle between the two elevens since 1931, On the eve of the game last night, Coach Bob Higgins express ed little hope for his Nittany team. The cause of the cloud of pessi mism is the absence of the first" two fullbacks, Bill Smaltz and Ralph Ventresco, because of in juries suffered in Monday's scrim mage. Smaltz is out with a twist ed ankle, while a recurrence of an old knee injury forced Ventresco to the sidelines. With the battered backs almost definitely out of the game, the Blue and White aggregation will take the field with the passing and kicking assignments in the hands of inexperienced players. Ordin arily, Craig White, senior wing back who kicked in his sophomore year, would.dq the punting chores but the blond veteran sprained his shoulder in the Bucknell -encoun ter and will be out of action for ten days. No less than three changes in the Lions' backfield will be made as a result of this week's occur rences. The only remaining start er from the Bison tilt is reliable Johnny Patrick, the veteran quar terback. Replacing Smaltz will be chun ky Earl "Sparky" Brown, 165 pound sophomore making his var sity debut.
