An avenging Nittany Lion
squad will be on the field tomor
row with the memory of 1944's
28-27 defeat at the hands of the
Mountaineers still fresh in mind.
Both squads this year Are pow
erful high scoring aggregations,
and tomorrow's game will see the
useating of one of these two
teams from the ranks of the un
defeated. The I kickoflf is slated
for 2 o'clock.
West Virginia overpowered
little Otterbein, Waynesburg.
NYU and Washington and Lee.
Penn State has been rated ninth
in the nation by the Associated
Press weekly football poll due to
the crushing defeats handed a
highly touted Washington State
team. Syracuse. Fordham and
Bucknell.
This game, one of the best in
the nation. will be a battle of
giants. and neither team looks
for an easy victory. Although the
underdog. Bill Kern's Mountain
eers have a formula for coming
on to the field supercharged
whenever they are rated in this
manner.
In '42 the Nittany Lions were
unbeaten when they went to
Morgantown to help the Moun
taineers dedicate their new stad
ium. but they collapsed under
West Virginia's relentless single
winoback and fiished up on the
short end of a 24-0 score. It was
the only defeat for the Lions.
Some of the boys who played in
that game Are back from the wars
and anxious to avenge the shame
they felt as the aftermath of the
1942 defeat. Larry Joe and Joe
Colone were freshmen then, and
Steve Suhey. Jeff Durkota, Bob
Weitzel. and Bobby Williams were
others among the Lion players
who noosed the Mountainleers
on that fateful day.

Students Asked
To Join Co-Op
Fraternities •and independent
living houses now have an oppor
tunity to purchase groceries co
operatively by becoming mem
bers of the local co-op grocery
store on W. Beaver avenue, an
nounced Emory Brown, chairman
of the campus co-op committee.
The co-op store at Windcrest
has operated only one year, but
has already saved the married
couples living there hundreds of
dollars. This cooperative store
was organized by a group of peo
ple to provide themselves with
quality goods and services at
low prices.
Anyone may join for $l.OO.
The purchaser receives sales
slips for each purchase. Since the
store is entirely cooperative, after
expenses are paid and a certain
percentage set aside for contin
' gencies, the net savings are re
turned to the purchaser in pro- I
portion to the amount of his
purchases.
All the purchaser must do is
save the sales slips and present
them at the end of the year for
the refund. Any member is eli
gible to become a member of the
seven-man board of directors
which governs the co-op store.
Books are open for member in
spection at any time.
"By cooperating in this ven
ture," said Emory Brown, "the
houses will be building a busi
ness that they can really call
their own."
Orders should be called into
the store by Saturday morning
of each week so as to obtain de
livery ten days later.

Cabinet Rejects
s4soAppropriation
All-College Cabinet last night
rejected the Chess Club request
for $450 to finance intercollegiate
matches.
The decision was made after a
half hour debate, during which
several Cabinet members pointed
out that interclass finances could
not withstand a series of such
grants. Majority opinion appeared
to be that granting the appro
priation would establish a dang
erous precedent.
Cabinet voted to establish a
committee to investigate the pos
t sibility of a student referendum
concerning student assessment
for the creation of a general ac
tivity fund. Such a fund would
be available for activity organ
izations, confronted with the
problem of financing trips and
intercollegiate matc h e s. The
I committee would also work out a
tentative basis for administration
of the money, so-that only worthy
groups would apply for aid.
Lawrence Foster, chairman of
the newly enlarged Student Un
ion Committee, reported on that'
group. Foster, Eugene Fulmer,
and Mona Smulyan were elected
to three of the five positions in
the student delegation which is
to work with the Administrative
