BULLETS FOR BREAKFAST!
Ex-Editor Dodges Strikers Bullets
BuLlets for breakfast—that was
the experience of Adam A. Stny
ser ’4l. last year’s Daily Collegian
editor and now staff writer for the
'Pittsburgh Press, who was one of
five reporters who narrowly
escaped death yesterday, during an
early morning uprising of coal
strikers at Nden'born,
The reporters’ car was riddled
■with bullets as they entered the
town at 4 a. m. to find, themselves
in the midst of a shooting labor
war. Smyser, along with others
was starting out on early morning
news patrol. .
“'l’m one of the lucky guys the
bullets didn’t hit,” Ke declared in
a phone call later on that morning,

outside he said, a boy was “sweep
ing up blood.”'
In a detailed account of the
shooting Smyser told how he,
along with the other newspaper
men, drove along the road in total
darkness and stopped suddenly
when they noticed a long line of
cars blocking the road.
“None of the cars had any lights
on and at first I didn’t get what
was happening. Then boom, boom,
came a couple of reports from up
on the hill, and I saw that men
were lying flat on the road—one
of them had even crawled under
•the' car ahead' of' lis,”' he related.
A' lull in ’the. shooting occurred
during' which Smyser decided to
get out of - the car. He slithered

out of the automobile on his
hands and knees and crawled to
the side of the road, when sudden

again.
“'Could it have been that those
marksmen-up on the hill saw poor
little me, perhaps the only person
among hundreds who was moving
down in the valley. At any rate
the turf all around me started
spitting up, and I realized that the
puffs of dust were created by spat

To Avenge Loss
Suffered in 1946
By 808 SCHOOLEY
As usual the Penn State Nittany
Lion eleven will assume the role
of the underdog when it tangles
with the Pitt Golden Panthers in a
determined effort to free itself
from one of the biggest jinxes in
college football in Pitt Stadium at
2 o’clock this afternoon.
Not since 1919 have the Lions
tasted victory flavored with Pan
ther meat in the Smokey City. In
that year it was Coach Bab Hig
gins who paced the Blue and White
to triumph, 20-0, over Pitt- from
his end post. The Panthers hold
•a sharp edge of victories as a chal
lenge to the Lions. Twenty-four
decisions were pinned on the wall
by Pitt and the Lions have carried
off 14. Two games ended in a tie.
But the classic upset of the series
which began in 1893 was recorded
on New Beaver Field in 1939 when
Coach (Higgins’ charges walked
away with the contest, 10-0.
Last season the game was again
transferred to Pittsburgh raid the
Lions were again beaten, 20-7, to
wreck their hopes for a 'Rose Bowl
or Orange Bowl bid. So the rival
ry which has developed to siword’s
point will be tested in today’s 41st
meeting of the teams. The Pan
thers are the Lions’ oldest rivals,
and Pitt’s likewise.
Team spirit reached a new high
in Lion practices during the week
as Penn State prepared to throw
all its power against the Panther
grid machine. With a squad un
hampered by injuries, the Lions
bear no particular love for the
aerial robbery tactics of Pitt’s Ed
gar- “Special Delivery” Jones and
intend to spoil his habit of inter
cepting passes.
The Lions refuse to tag their
backs with talent names, but they
have elected "Big Bill Smaltz post
master of the ‘‘air mail” depart
ment. Today’s battle looms as 'a
tussle between the needle-accur
acy of Smaltz’ passes and Jones’
ability to snatch enemy . aerial
tosses and turn them into scores
