PAGE TWELVE Bedridden Rooter Sees Game In Ambulance Many of the 20,000 fans who gathered at the Penn State- West Virginia football contest Last Saturday noticed an old pri vate ambulance which was parked along the cinder track near the west stands. From this vehicle, Tom Rus sell of nearby Juniata viewed the thrilling game, the first game he'd ever seen in his life. When seventeen years of age, Russell fell victim to a severe case of arthritis, and has been forced to live on his back for the approximately twenty-five years since that date. His back was propped up, and his view, obstructed through the first half by the overflow crowd, was made clearer after the inter mission when Captain Mark of the Campus Patrol paved a path and brought him closer to the playing field. AVOCATONS Said Russell, "This is my first game, and the first time I've ever seen Higgins' team; I certainly want to come back again." Russell is an internationally known stamp collector, having collected stamps since his early years. To Juniata have come many famous visitors to pass the time a day with Russell, including Jack Dempsey, Lowell Thomas, the immortal Red Grange and each of the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame. Penn State's Bob Higgins says he regards a blocked punt as the worst thing that can happen to a college football team. .

Game Postponed Between The Lions An Open Letter to the Nittany Lion Football Team Dear Fellows, "This is the year" is a trite phrase but it's still on everyone's lips around this Nittany Valley and for the first time it's even reached the outside world. This year you're a close-knit group. Everyone is out for the team itself—not for personal glory. That. to Ism is more impor tant than winning games by big scores. I've talked to quite a few of you at Various times and every time it's the same answer, "Hell, I don't do much. Write about the other guys. They're the ones who are doing the good job—not me." You realize that every game is a tough one, regardless of what the dopesters say, and what is more important, all this national publicity hasn't gone to your head. There are few infractions of training Jules this tear. tVeryone takes this business of playing football very seriously. You have one of the best coaches in the country in "The Hig" and you know it. You respect him and you listen to his every word. There's no griping on any of his decisions even when it means a job you dislike or missing an important date. I like the way you platy football. Ws * Smart, heads-up. hard but clean brand of football. the type that makes us proud to call you our own. I hope you'll overlook some of us "grand:its:rid quarterbacks" who think we know more about the game then you or your coach. That's to be expected of football fans everywhere. As I started out to say, I think you're a great team and I'll keep that opinion even if you lose each of the remaining games. But as long as you keep that spirit of cooperation, I'll bet my typewriter that you don't lose a one. Don't Be Frightened! HALLOWEEN IS HERE! 0 Christmas will be here, too.
