SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1942 BETWEEN THE LIONS By BEN BAILEY Sports Editor I caught particular thunder sev eral times since writing yester day's column for allegedly at tempting to throw a scare into Rob Higgins' varsity gridders for the'Pitt tussle today, for trying to build up a decidedly inferior team and for making Penn State fans uneasy in general. Specifically I'm indicted for blindly jumping on the bandwag on for the highly improbable and practically impossible. Maybe so —but I still think Pitt is not 'a team to be taken too lightly. - ME= . A.team can be over-confident -and that's bad. •Moreover, Pitt .comes here• with absolutely noth ing to lose other than another .game, and everything to gain. On .the other hand State has every thing to lose. If Pitt can take this game from State today it would 'be perfectly content to lose half next.seasori's schedule in advance. • I understand this handy . man Bill Dutton does every , thing for Charle Bowser ex . cept bandage injured ankles. Third leading ground gainer in the nation, he'll be.out• to set at least half a dozen sea son gaining records for Pitt. Nevertheless, to be perfectly conventional I'm , tagOig 04:ips with the landlady and the fariiily across the hall -in .picking a tank MOuntain landslide. • To prove I'm not just whistling in the dark, there's , the Penn State ,record - of not having lost a house :party weekend here in nearly 14 •years. • • To prove that all is not •• Smith and dead fish in the • city of Fraternal Devotion, comes the welcome announce . ,meut • that Aldo Cenci, our Quarterback and 230-some • pound tank trap, was award !

JOHNSON PAGE THREE (Special to the Collegian) EAST LANSING, Michigan, Nov. 20—Rated no better than third or fourth, Penn State's veteran cross country team will match strides with the Nation's best in the fifth annual National Collegiate cross country tournament being held here at 11 a.m. tomorrow. The Lions arrived on the Michi gan State campus this morning and after a rest walked around the same four-mile course on which they had previously defeated Mich igan State in dual-competition and on which they will run tomorrow, Penn State will be one of two teams representing the East in the race. IC4-A champions, Rhode Is-. land State, will be defending the crown they captured last year over the Michigan State course. Co-favorites of the meet are Rhode Island State and Indiana, winner of the Big Ten harrier title last week in Chicago. The Hoosiers lost the National Collegiate crown to the Rams last year and are now given an even-money chance of re gaining the crown. Except for one change, the same team that competed in the IC4-A meet Monday will run in the Michi gan meet. Because freshmen are not eligible for competition in Sat urday's tourney, Mitchell Williams, Lion star yearling runner, will not . participate in the meet. ' His place will be taken by his brother, Rufe Williams, who ran in all of the Lions' dual meets this season. Rufe was not entered in the IC4-A meet, however. Those making the trip are Cap tain Norm Gordon, Curt Stone, Mac Smith, Jerry Karver, Joe Beach, Howard Horne, and Williams.
