Lions Salvage Undefeated Streak
Personnel and prestige of the Penn State grid squad were slightly bruised in Saturday's tie with
Michigan State, but the Lions ran through a norm al Monday afternoon practice yesterday in prepara
tion for a re-awakened Colgate team. *
Still undefeated in 14 games over a two-year span, the Nittany Lions dropped below Army in
Eastern ratings since the Cadets routed a previously undefeated Cornell eleven 27-6 while the Blue
and White fought to a stalemate.
A one-touchdown win over Navy kept the University of Pennsylvania in the thick of the battle
of the Atlantic area, while the
only other team in the running,
Cornell, dropped out of sight.
Paul Kelly, outstanding line
man in Saturday’s fray, received
a bruised shin in the game, and
another guard, John Simon,
sprained his thumb. E 1 wo o d
Petchel, Bob Hicks, Fran Rogel,
Wally Triplett, Duck Murray and
Chuck Beatty received minor
wounds in the Michigan State
battle, but according to Dr. Al
fred Griess, everyone, including
Negley Norton who missed the
Spartan fray, will be ready to
battle against Colgate this Sat
urday.
In last Saturday’s 14-14 Michi
gan State deadlock, the Lions
outshone the visitors in every
department but the scoring col
umn in the first half, but yielded
to the tricky Spartan offense in
the third and fourth frames.

Fran Rogel was the big gun in
the Lion ground attack as he car

Wearing New Face
For Homecoming
Nature lovers saddened
when stately oaks across from
Rec hall “got the axe’’ to make
room for the new men’s dormi
