BETWEEN THE LIONS One of the more wishful of the Philadelphia Stories. circulated to explain away Penn's 13-7 debacle Saturday was that one burgled by "die-hard" Red Smith, sports writer for the Philly Record, who fin gered the blame on the color of the Penn State jerseys. According to Smith—and his imagination--the "apple-cheeked" beardless wonders from the Nittany mountains were so burned up by the fact that they were requested to don blue jerseys instead of their usual Saturday whites that they came out of their dressing room at game time just plain unbeatable. Red was partially correct, for the Lions were unbeatable that day—especially from the Quaker point of view—but even the Penn students who tried to defend their goal posts after the final whistle will admit that it takes . more . than . anger to stop an outfit that's out to get something it really wants. Although the Penn officials are probably unaware of the fact, it's an old American custom in most other parts of the country for the borne team to let its guests wear their weekend best. On numerous occasions throughout the afternoon, the Quaker backs appeared like a bunch of minor league' catchers, trying desw ately to snag bad passes from center—pivotman Biller..was very con sistent in foggin"em back high and wide, several times for bad 'losses. Not only was the Penn quarterbacking unsatisfactory, but com pared to the work of State's Aldo Cenci it stood out like a sore thumb. Martin's waiting till fourth down arid thirteen to go on his own thir ty-live: was just the type of break that fellows like Ken Schoonover never ,Pass up. At one stage of the game Penn was on the State 39 with fourth down and a yard to go—behind 13-0 too—and kicked. Another time they reached the same spot—with fourth down and 6 yards to go— and ran it, for no gain. Penn certainly had plenty 'of power to burn, and did just that so long as it stayed at least ten yards away from either end zozne. On such occasions the State line would always buckle down to discour age the Quakers and prove to unbelieving sports reporters that it real ly was the second best in the East. Penn finally did succeed in tiring Cenci sufficiently-with its bruis ing pile-ups to chase him out for a rest, but got the surprise of its embard•assing afternoon when reserve quarterback Johnny Schroyer took o'er and continued to spill Stiff at the line as though it were rou- tine work Sparky Brown got a tough break when an enterprising Penn knee sent him out of the .game before he could show the Quakers some of his "adagio" specials, but Larry Joe, reserve tailback, was sufficiently adequate, even Red Smith will admit. Penn State fans took over as soon as the game ended and put on beautiful power drive for the Penn goal posts. A group of Quaker students piit up a futile goal line stand with three-foot clubs, but dis appeared in the mob before even I could sprint down out Of the press box to help bring down the second set of uprights. I had my heart set on getting some of that goal post, too, but a de termined Naval ensign succeeded in taking away a four-foot section from me and fourteen other fellows. He earned it'though, and prob (ably deserved it since there weren't enough sailors to bring down. the pests when the Navy sank the Quakers,the week before.
