Fourth Straight
By 808 SCHOOLEY
In the season's home finale a
favored Penn State eleven will
tangle with the Mountaineers of
West Virginia in the tenth grid
feud of the teams on New Beaver
Field at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The Nittany Lions will be trying
for their fourth straight victory of
the season, having piled up decisive
scores against Lehigh and NYU,
and having upset a strong Syracuse
eleven last week, 34-19.
Against West Virginia the Lions
will be gurining for their seventh
win in a series of contests which
started in 1904. The Mountaineers
have captured two games and one
ended in a tie. Coach Bill Kern's
gridmen will venture from their
hideout to seek revenge for last
year's battle which ended 17-13 in.
the Lions' favor.
West Virginia's team has been
improving as the season progresses.
The Mountaineers lost to Navy,
Fordham, .and Kentucky earlier in
the season, but
_overcame West
,Virgini4. Wesleyan, Washington
and Lee, and Kansas.
It was Ike Martin and Bill Bell
who unleased aerials against Kanl.

Schrader, fullback, will probably
cause the I.dons the most trouble
with their ball-carrying abilities.
McElwee has averaged 4.2 yard's
every time he has carried the ball
in seven games this season. Schra
der has picked up an average a
3.2 yards per try.
Bill Bell, Mountaineer reserve
left halfback, is the main passing
threat. He has completed 17 .passes
