PAGE FOUR Penn Challenges Uric/cleated Penn State Gridders Nittany Eleven Oufpasses Foe, Eleven to Zero The Nittany passing attack, used only as a secondary method of attack in previous grid games, came into full play in Saturday's game with Colgate as four Lion passers hurled 17 aerials for 132 yards. Elwood Petchel led the air raid by completing eight out of nine passes, while Bill Luther hit the 1.000 mark with three out of three. Vince O'Bara broke even with one for one, and John Chuckran missed with three "desperation" heaves in the final minute of play. Punting was at a minimum during the battle as only eight boots were used in the fray. Only one punt, a Colgate kick in the third quarter, was recorded in the game.

No Night Owls Penn State has played only four night football games in its hist ory, and all four have been play ed since 1941. - "an Variety's the Spice of Life ... You__Kno,„ THE TEA ROOM This is the week! Ever since last fall when the first faint rumor that Penn State would battle the University of Pennsylvania rippled through the Nittany Valley, coaches, players and fans have anxiously awaited November 6. Now, with the game just four days away, the team already has one pre-Penn practice under its belt and has a long scrimmage. seneduled for tonight. Dr Alfred Greiss, team physic ian gave his stamp of approval to the entire team and pro nounced them 99.44% in shape to play in this Saturday's "Coal Bowl," "We're not quite sure that Negley Norton will be in top !!!

After six Penn State plays in Saturday's fray, the final one a 19-yard touchdown spurt by Bill Luther, the Colgate eleven real ized that it was not match for the, undefeated Nittany squad, but grimly fought against the visitors until the final gun. An audience of 10,000 home coming fans sat in the warm fall sun to watch the Lions pass and run around the Raiders while the home team gathered its energy for two touchdown blasts and then resigned itself to keeping the score at minimum. Running with the same power and finesse that he showed last year. Bill Luther sparked the first two Nittany touchdown drives, In his first gallop, he took the ball from Joe Colone on a re verse, slipped out of the hands of the Colgate end. evaded the line-backer, and then raced to ward the final chalk stripe unmo lested, (<5 'fi . .; "r.

Breast-stroke lightning, in the persons of Ralph Fritts, Delta Tau Delta, and Bob Krayer, Delta Chi, struck down the record for the intramural 60 yard event set by Clyde Bell in 1946. Krayer's time was the best at Glennland Pool; he made the course in 43.4 seconds, striking .6 seconds off Bell's previous record of 44 seconds. Fritts made the 60 yards in 43.8 seconds. Regardless of the marks made by their respective stars, both Delta Tau Delta and Delta Chi lost their meets, the former losing to Pi Kappa Phi, 28-13, while Sigma Nu took the other meet, 31-10.

Another Lion who hit last year's form in the Colgate game was Captain Joe Colone. In the third play of the game he caught the Raiders with their defenses down by quick-kicking 61 yards to put the Colgate squad on its own 16. Again in the second period he booted a high spiral from the Lion a 5 to the Colgate 5 to give him a punting average of 58 yards per kick. As a plunger from the fullback position. Colone showed a terrific amount of power as he hit the opponent's line for im portant first downs in the Blue and White's last two touchdowns. Little Elwood Petchel enhanced By Elliot Krzule SCORING REVERSE BILL LUTHER his bidf or All-American honors as he threw nine passes, eight of which were completed for two touchdowns and over 100 yards, In the heavy duty department, Fran Rogel and Larry Joe tore through the Red Raiders' line for repeated gains throughout the af ternoon, Rogel had to smack at the line twice in the third quarter to score the fourth Lion tally, but after his first try carried him from the Colgate 4 to the 6-inch line, he ambled across on his second and scored standing up. Stellar Guards Paul Kelly and John Simon continued " their stellar defensive roles started last week against Michigan State by sending the Colgate runners to the turf on repeated attempts at the center of the line. Although Duck Murray and John Finley played well, the ab sence of Negley Norton was no ticed in the defensive line. Most of the long Colgate gains were driven through the hole normally filled by Norton as the Raiders 'mouse trapped' the Nittany tack les out of position. Big gun in the Colgate offen sive was Armand Allaire. 5-foot, 7--inch, 175-pound sophomore fullback. Allaire carried the ball six times on the first Raider thrusr and after advancing it to th e 1-yard line, handed the toting duties to Ray Scott who bowled his way over on a quarterback sneak.

Beaver Ave. State College-6285 EXECUTIVE CAREERS IN RETAILING One-year Course TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1948 Between • • The inns fore the Storm Co Nittany Lion fans and foot .ll players alike, the clash with olgate Saturday was something >f a lull before this week's Storm. Chuck Beatty, Blue and White center, struck the keynote of Lion sentiment last week when, hurt slightly in New Beaver scrim mage, he told Doe Alfred Griess, team physician: "I don't care whether I play against Colgate: just so I'm ready for Penn." '3ut Beatty played—and well— against the Red Raiders. You may quote us on this one: As far as line-backers-up go, we'll recruit Beatty and powerful Chuck Dra zenovich for our team anytime. Considering the state of mind of the Penn State squad and the chances of an upset, Operation Colgate was satisfactory. What Weather! Although Pia . cekicker Carl Sturges missed three out of five of his after-touchdown boots, it was the right game for it. The Lions ground out five TD's meth odically and were in no danger of having to depend on extra points to win. Hottest thing on the field, aside from Elwood Petchel, who com pleted eight of nine passes, and Colgate's Armand Allaire, who split State defenses for a net of 121 yards, was the sun. Seventy-degree heat was cer tainly not appropriate for a foot ball tussle and kept gridders of both teams, as well as fans, wish ing for a crisp fall day or an ice pack. From the Spartans In hte Daily Collegian exchange file, we found copies of the Mich igan State News, student organ of that institution, and we thought we'd pass along what we found. The News headlines its account of the game thusly: "Two TD's Called Back; State Ties; Penalties Ruin State Chances for Upset Vic tory Over Lions; Paydirt Runs by Chandnois, Guere Nullified as Teams Deadlock, 14-14." Placing the blame for not win ning upon what it calls "misca riage of officiating," the News be moans the fact that Halfback Geoge Guerre's 100-yard romp and Lynn Chandnois' long canter for "TD's" were recalled. On Interpretation Since Chandnois did step out of bounds on his own 41, we'll auto matically drop that one, but the News does headline another story: "Film Shows State Man Not at Fault in Penalty Dispute."
