Lion-Navy Game
Navy and Penn State, gridiron
rivals since 1894, will tangle for
the 23rd time when the Nittany
Lions invade the Middies’ home
grounds at Annapolis, 2 p.m. to
morrow. President Harry S. Tru
man will attend the game as a
guest of the Naval Academy.
Triumphant over the Lions for
the last three years, the Midship
men boast a series advantage of
13 wins to 7 for the Higginsmen.
Navy won in 1944 by a 55 to 14
score and last year by a 28 to 0
count.
Although Navy; has lost six
straight tilts, beating only Villa
nova 7 to 0, they will be going
into the ball game tomorrow as
six and one-half point favorites.
Lion head coach Bob Higgins,
after watching his charges go
through their paces, is remaining
cautious, refusing to predict the
outcome of the game.
“Sure, Navy has lost six games
and only won one,” admits Hig
gins, “but they’ve been playing
tough teams —and losing by bad
breaks at that.”
