State, Temple Evenly Matched Temple, Penn State Seek Fourth Win In Series By GEORGE SAMPLE Anything can happen tomorrow afternoon when the unbeaten and untied Temple University foot ball team invades New Beaver Field. If comparative scores mean anything (and upsets prove they don't) tomorrow’s battle should furnish fodder for. the fans for years to come. Both teams are evenly matched on paper. The' Temple forward wall will match the Penn State line, pound for pound, while the Lion backfield holds a slight weight advantage. Both teams have beaten Syra cuse and Bucknell. In the Syra cuse encounter, Temple came out on the long end of a 7-6 score while State overwhelmed Syra cuse 26-0. These scores indicate a. decided advantage lor State. However in the Bucknell game Temple ran amuck and trampled the hapless Bisons 64-0. Buck nell was able to hold the Nittany Lions to a 46-7 score. These statistics show a slight, edge for the Owls. Tomorrow’s battle may center two men. Joe Tepsic, in the Lion backfield, has born the brunt of the attack ail season. , His efforts have begn good enough ..to warrant receiving the Maxwell Award, given to the- player of the week. In the Owl backfield, Phil Slosburg will be, the man to ; watch. -It was he who three weeks ago led a tired Temple ... eleven to a 6-0 victory over Clark : Shaughnessey’s Panthers. Temple is sporting an untarn ished record of six wins in as .; many starts. ...State -.on vthe -other hand' has won four arid l&st one, : to the U. S’. Naval Academy.
