Arm-in-Sling Sludenl
Asked fo Sign for Wire
Lawrence Goldberg can testify
to the unpredictability of human
nature.
Goldberg, his right arm in a
sling, and five other members of
the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity
were discussing current events
in front of the house one after
noon.
Suddenly the session was in
terrupted by a Western Union
messenger boy delivering a tele
gram to the house. Instantly five
men jumped to their feet, ready
to sign for the wire.
The messenger boy, however`,
blithely stepped up to the only
one who had not risen and po
litely asked him to sign for the
wire. Whom did he ask? That's
right—the only man unable to,
write. Lawrenc^ Goldberg.

Fate of Penny
In Meter
What happens to the penny, or
the nickel, you drop into your
parking meter?
According to a survey con
ducted by Charles F. Lee Decker,
executive secretary of the Insti
tute of Local Government at the
College, slightly more than half
of the 149 Pennsylvania com
munities having meters maintain
special parking meter funds for
the deposit of receipts.
Ninety-five communities, the
survey indicated, transfer re
ceipts to the general fund and
therefore are not able to identify
specific purposes for the expendi
ture of the parking meter re

"Yes. Doak Walker is every
thing his newspaper clippings saY
he is." declared Penn State Coach
Bob Higgins in a forceful apprai
sal of the Southern me,hodist
star whose top-flight performance
carried the Mustangs to a 19-19
tie with Texas Christian Saturday
in Fort Worth.
Mentor Higgins, along with his
end coach. Earl Edwards, wit
nessed the storybook struggle in
which SMU stormed back with
only 20 seconds to play to knot
the score and stave off defeat.
The great Walker, who is an
outstanding 'candidate for any
body's all-American team, scam
pered 62 yards for his team's

initial score, set the stage for the
second and then tallied it on a 3-
Yard romp, and started the tying
TD on its way with a sparkling
55-yard kickoff return in the fi
nal minute of play.
In a supreme effort to stymie
Walker's marvelous passing abil
ity. ICU's eleven moved into what
was virtually a four-seven defen
sive formation—four men on the
line and seven backers-up—var
ious times throughout the con
test.
Marked by numerous passes
thrown by both teams. the SAW
TCU battle was typical of the
southwestern brand of gridiron
play and gave Penn State's Nit
tanymen an indication of what to
expect when they invade the Dal
las stronghold New Year's Day.
The deadlock with four-times
beaten Texas Christian dropped
the Mustangs from the nation's
royal circle of football jugger
nauts which still boast undefea
ted and untied seasons. Now only
Penn State. Notre Dame and
Southern California own spotless
records, and one of the latter two
is doomed to defeat Saturday
when they clash in Los Angeles.
LONG TRIP
In anticipation of Penn State's
second bowl engagement in his
tory. the Blue and White squad
will begin a 1500-mile railroad
junket to Dallas around Dec. 21.
It will be the first appearance for
,oth State and Coach Mattes Bell's
SMU crew in this bowl, although
the Bowl gridiron i s a second
home for the Southwestern Con
ference champs.
Southern Methodist this cam
paign has rolled up 169 points on
ten foes while yielding 71. Am o ng
their victims are: Santa Clara,

Penn State will be the first
Eastern eleven to play in the
Cotton Bowl since Fordham bat
tled Texas A&M in 19441. More
than that, the Nittanymen will be
the first team with negro mem
bers ever to play against white
players in Texas.
