TUESDAY, 'OCTOBER 14, 1947 Gridders Smother Fordham Under 75 Point Avalanche Bob Higgins ran his rampaging Nittany Lions through a light workout yesterday afternoon in preparation for Saturday's Homecoming game with Syra cuse with the pleasant memories of last Saturday's 75-0 stampede over the Fordham Rams still fresh in mind. The Polo Grounds track meet was never anything but a run away from the opening whistle as all 40 of the Lion squad members saw a ctio n. The Higginsmen scored at will against a hope lessly outclassed group of Rams. Leading the scoring parade was, wingback Jeff Durk o t a who crossed the Ram goal four times. Three of Durkota's touchdowns came in the score-packed second period when the Lions hit the scoreboard for 40 points. Wally Triplett, playing most of the game at wingback, contrib uted two more touchdoWns while single markers were chalked up by Joe Colone, Elwood Petchel, Clarence Gorinski, and Francis Rogel. Colone opened the scoring by plunging over from the one-yard line after the Lions had marched 68 yards in the first five minutes of the game. sparked. by Colone and Larry Joe.

Mitch Williams, `Pappy' Long necker, and Fred Lennox battled against Marks, McCants, and Pearman of the visiting team for the fourth, fifth, and sixth places in the meet. Williams took the number four spot in 28:10.5 with apparent ease, and Lennox and Longnecker followed with 28:18 and 28:20 times. "The team really outdid them selves in the race Saturday," com mented Coach Werner. "In all my years as a Penn State coach, I've never seen a team go all out like this team did in the first race of the season. Although the score indicates that the race was an easy one," he added, "the N.Y.U. meet will probably be one of the toughest that we'll have all year." Because a recent operation pre vented the Violet's coach, Emil Von Elling from accompaning his previously undefeated squad, Pete Waters, picturesque ex-Manhattan mentor, headed the New York delegation. The visitors arrived at State College Friday afternoon and as Waters told Chick Werner, "The boys were very impressed by the Penn State campus. In fact, if you had some application blanks with you, I'm sure that most of the team would transfer. immediately." Penn State Club, 12-0.

Between The Lions Prior to last Saturday's runaway, Fordham's worst defeat was in 1910, when Princeton dropped the Rams 69-0. The Lions took the runner-up record last year when they smashed through the New Yorkers' first post-war team by a 68-0 count. The Rams failed to gain against any of the lines Bob Higgins threw in. Only two first downs were recorded by the Rose Hill boys and both of these were on passes. Every Lion on the forty-man traveling squad saw duty with the reserves playing the largest part of the game. The time-keepc.r took pity on the hapless Rams in the third and oui th periods and kept the clock spinning regardless of what was happening on the field. A New York writer quipped in his story that "The Polo Grounds uses a Longines clock which after today is no longer the `world's most honored timepiece'." The game received third-rate billing from the sportswriters who were more interested in the Army-Illinois game at Yankee Stadium and the Columbia-Yale game at Baker Field. Ergo, the boys who pick the top teams didn't see the romp. Larry Joe carried the ball only five times in his short interlude in the game. The speedy back missed the first touchdown when he was forced out-of-bounds on the one-yard line on an end run from the 11 Co-captain Johnny Potsklan gave the Lions their first safety of the season and just missed scor ing a touchdown when he blocked a Ram punt on the 3-yard line and downed it out-of-bounds be hind the goal for an automatic two points. Wing back Jeff Durkota seem ed to do everything right as he carried the ball five times and scored a quartet of six-pointers. Twice Jeff gathered in touchdown passes and twice he skirted around end for paydirt. The day's outstanding play hap pened in the 40-point second quar ter when Bill Luther tossed a short pass over the line of scrim mage to end Dennie Hoggard. Dennie handed the ball to Wally Triplett just before a host of Rams smothered him, and Wally out raced the Fordham backfield for 38 yards and another touchdown. Gorinski, Cominsky, Triplett, Rogel and Luther took turns car rying the ball for the Lions in the abreviated second half. A final word must be said about the Lion lines that both blocked and tackled very well all through the game and opened those holes for the eleven touchdowns. Opponents' Scores Wash. State 7; Mich.
