Archbold Stadium
Jinx For Stale
A play by play description wilt
be broadcast by Tom IVlelViahon
from KDKA beginning at 2 p.m.
With the drums of the first un
defeated and untied season in
Penn State football history since
1912 beating along the bowl-bound
trail, the Lions' "Seven Mountain"
line generated by two sets of
speedy backs will attempt to re
move the Archbold Stadium jinx
out of the way when it meets the
rebounding Syracuse Orangemen
this afternon in the sixth clash of
the season.
This will be the 18th consecu
tive meeting between the two
elevens who have had unbroken
relations since 1922. Syracuse
hold , : a considerable edge in the
series with ten wins, four losses
and four ties. In only two of the
games played in Archbold Sta
dium have the Blue and White
emerged on the long end of the
score, last year's battle ending in
the dramatic 6-6- tie.
Victorious over Bucknell, West
Virginia, Lehigh, Temple and
South Carolina, the unbeaten Lion
gridcl.ers will be facing their
toughest opponent to date with
their lineup weakened by the loss
of three valuable players during
the week. Craig White, Wade
Mori, and Ken Schoonover have
beer lost to the squad through in
juries and illness.
It will be a revised State team,
therefore, that will take the field
against the Orange today. Len
Krouse, a demon on reverse runs
all year, will start in the import
ant right halfback or wingback
spot. The rest of the backfield
remains the same with the Lions'
signal-calling and blocking gen
ius, Johnny Patrick, at quarter
back, veteran Chuck Peters in the
left halfback position, and big Bill
Smaltz stationed at fullback.
Starting his first game in his
three-year varsity career will be
Jim Woodward who replaces the
injured Mori at guard. The re
