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. The
: Temple offense ‘ has averaged 30
points per game while Penn State
'has' .been clicking off 29 points
per- game. -All things being equal,
tomorrow’s game should end in a
scoreless tie.
The Philadelphia scribes have
Qalled [Temple one . of the four,
major teams in the east. This, in
■so. many words, means Army,
. Nayy, Pennsylvania ahd Temple.
I askyou; where'does this‘leave
Penn State who" on the surface is
every bit as rtsong as Temple?
. This writer is more inclined to
. string along \vith the Associated
• Press Poll ’ who in last weeks tab
ulation gave both Penh State and
- Temple! honorable; mention among;
:’the ;: 'rixa.jor. teams qf. theeburitry.
Brit .in[doing"so'they gave:three
; points to the Lions and. one point
to the Owls. .
