Lion. Gridiron Squad At Top Strength
For Baffle With Their City Cousins
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 14—Confident that they
will give their best against their city cousins this afternoon.
38 Nittany Lion gridders arrived here late yesterday with
fire in their eyes and "Beat Penn" signs on their lapels.
With 3400 loyal Blue and White followers pooling their
transportation facilities to support them at Franklin Field.
the Lions are out to repeat the 10 to 0 upset registered
against the Quakers in 1939, and
to take up where Navy left off last
Saturday, when the Middies de
feated the Munger-coached squad,
7 to 0.
Cavtain Lou -Palazzi
• The availability .of Perugini, hurt in the West Virginia game,' is
particularly significant. Coach Bob Higgins has found it expedient to
shift his guards in pairs depending on whether the Lions are playing
offense or defense. Leo Nobile will, however; start in "Perry's" right
guard slot.
Coach Higgins indicated today that he expects to field the same
team that initiated action against - Syracuse. The lineup will find two
juniors, rangy Bob Walters, and his slighter-built running mate, Bob
Davis, at the ends. "Iron- Man" Ken• Schoonover, senior tackle who
has been in the thick of the - fight almost 60 minutes of every game,
will term up with sophomore Red Moore at the' tackles.
Johnny Jaffurs, whose interceptions of two desperation heaves
saved the day for' Penn State last week, will run alongside Nobile
at guard.
BETWEEN THE LIONS
PHILADELPHIA, .Pa., Nov. 14—After a lapse , of two years an
other spirited Penn State football squad makes its appearance on
Franklin Field, again. a definite underdog, yet cooly confident of. an
other "upset" win over favored Penn.
Both teams enter the contest this afternoon with nearly identical
records—each has tied one and lost one intercollegiate competition—
and yet Penn is picked to trounce Penn State.
Both teams playei.: comparatively similar schedules. Penn
boasts of victories over Columbia and Army, while State balances the
sheets with wins over Colgate and Syracuse. State warmed up against
Bucknell and Lehigh; Penn against Yale and Harvrrd. State sloshed
to a muddy stalemate against Cornell; Penn did the same against
Princeton. Penn lost to Navy last week; State got lost in the W. Vir
ginia mountains the week before. On the face of this record writers
give the nod to Penn.
Sir te boasts a brilliant defens:ve line—in fact one of the best de
fensive lines in the East. Penn boasts a crushing power attack—one
that has amassed a total of 121 points in. six games.
State is weak on pass defense—woefully weak as was discovered
in the W. Virginia game. Penn, on the other hand, is woefully weak
in the way of a passing attack—the Quakers have gained only four
yards in four games via the aerial route.
Which all proves what? . . . merely that on the matter of past re
cord the two teams are exactly evenly matched.

"Whether we win or lose," vow
ed Lion Captain Lou Palazzi last
night, "Penn will know they are
in a football game—and how!!"
Traditionally a grudge fight, at
least as far as the Nittany Valley
lads are concerned, Penn has been
victorious 24 times in the series
that dates back to the mayhem
days of 1890. The Lions have won
10 times, and the two squads have
deadlocked on four occasions. Re
cent years, however, have found
the Lions dominating the series.
For the first time this season
the Blue and White squad is at
top strength. Three players who
missed play when the team
trounced Syracuse are ready for
.action. Bob Perugini, regular
guard; Bob Weitzel, reserve full
back; and Orient Martella, reserve
center, are now in playing condi
tion having recovered from minor
injuries.
