Ashes To Ashes
"Ashes to ashes, dust .to dust, if
-the -Bisons, Mountaineers, Engin
eers, Owls, Gamecocks, Orange
men and Violet don't set you—
then, the Panthers must."
Thus is stated the positilLn of
Penn State's Nittany Lions today.
Maybe you think that today I
should take to task everyone from
the dairy barns to the outskirts of
Boalsburg, blaming them for the
Lions' downfall to Pittsburgh Sat-
urday.
But no, that isn't the story. To
day I pay tribute to a better team
than State, Pittsburgh's Golden
Panthers, one of the most under
rated grid aggregations south of
Ottawa.
The Lions were good, are good,
and will go down in the books as
one of the best ever produced
here. But in the Panthers, they
met a team which had just a little
more •powers, speed, and versatil
ity. The Staters didn't let down
against the Smoky City lads, they
played as hard as in ,any fracas
this fall.
So :without alibing, though with
some disappointment, I add my .
Hail To Pitt.
Best' Line
Despite the gloom, and smog
brought back from Pittsburgh, you
.can't .overlook the best "line" of
the mr.egkend—that ,of -.Chet
_Smith,

..Press sports editors, for
sey.eral X.Pnlarks .at the .pte-gAme
. s.r.P.Qicer ; Friday night. _Chet good
paturedly ,took Red (-l3etter-Late
',Than-l%Teyer) :Friesen, for a ride
over the recent Cornell-Dartii
mouth entanglement.
Aboutjted's job of officiating
the Yale-Haryard battle Saturday,
Chet said: "You can read the
score in Monday's paper."
Also the little remark, Mr.
Smith made that "Ilitler and Mus-
solini couldn't .understand people
who laugh at fifth column but get
-in an awful dither about fifth
,downs."

The Penn State Blue Band, di

(above), scored a half-time victory
over the Pitt University band to
preserve the quick-stepping band's
vaunted supremacy.

back was finally hauled down on
the five by Smaltz but he later
eralled to guard Ralph Fife, who
fell over the
_goal line for the
touchdown. Bonelli's placement
,kick for the conversion was block
ed by Lloyd Parsons.
The Panthers scored again in
the third quarter. After Petrella
stopped Pitt's drive by intercept
ing ,a pass ,on the four, 13ill
Smaltz's punt from his 20 carried
only to the midfield stripe: Aided
Jay a 20-yard run by :Thurboxi, the
Panthers drove to the State 20
where Jones ,air-mailed .one .of
his passes to Thurbon in the ,end
zone. Fife converted for the gx
tra point to give Pitt .a 13-0 lead.
A pass interception by Smaltz
on the first- play of the final per
iod paved the way for the State
tally. The burly fullback pitch
ed the Lions to the enemy 15 on
three completed- forwards and
then contacted Krouse for the
,itoUchdown. Pollock's placement
was good.
The Lions were battling desper
ately against time now. Coach
Bob Higgins put in Brown to re
place the tiring Smaltz but the
substitute's first passing attempt
was nabbed by Kracum on the
State 37 -and the Lion nemesis
dashed the remaining distance for
Pitt's third touchdown.

Although the national harrier

definitely a hill-runner, is expect
ed to stage a strong comeback af

Chet Snyder, senior harrier and
second best Nittany timemaker,
and Vern Kotz were the other two
hill-and-dalers to accompany
Coach Chick Werner and Smith.
Never running a cross-country
race before he entered college and
never competing in any dual or

SupersfitiousiPill Would
Have Been 13th Victory
Superstitious persons will have
'no trouble explaining Saturday's
defeat at the hands of Pittsburgh's
eleven. It would .have been the
13th in the Lions' string of games
without defeat.
Here's what has happened since
the Lions last met defeat at the
