THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1947
Between the Lions
Mutual Broadcasting System reportedly has no commercial spon
ser yet for a New Year's broadcast of the State-SMU contest. That
network will probably carry the play-by-play description of the
Cotton Bowl scrap, as in the past.
Although State's 1948 football
slate has not beep released, two
schools have named the Lions as
foes on their schedules. They are
Colgate (Oct. 30) and Penn (Nov.
6.) The Nittany eleven will be
visitor in both tilts, with Colgate
at Hamilton, N. Y., and with
Penn in Philadelphia.
