THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, Between The 3 Lions Wr= y By, Torn Morgan SPORTS EDITOR How High Is Up?. There's tension in the New Beaver atmosphere these days as Head Coach Bob Higgins tries to inject a little restraint into the lofty anticipations of his Lion henchmen before the Big Game. As the Hig said to State College Quarterback Club members yes terday, "These boys are 'up' maybe too high this week. They've been `up' for the Penn game ever since they first saw it on the schedule. Our problem is to keep this thing under control so it doesn't get too high before they take the field Saturday" Two of Potchel Penn possesses a substitute football player who measures 6 feet, 7 inches in height, weighs 310 pounds and would make two Elwood Petchels, and then some, in sheer volume. Named Jim con way, he saw action at tackle last Saturday against Wash-Lee when the scoreboard read Penn 33; Wash-Lee 0. Usually Quaker Coach George Munger doesn't insert Conway, the veritable mountain, until the count reaches such astronomical heights, so we don't expect to see him perform against Nittany. Instead, Munger has a crew of lesser behemoths Wettlaufer, DeTorre, Tokarczyk, Bednarik, Bean, Reichenbach, Sponaugle who weigh a mere 200-or-better pounds to the man and make up for Conger's century pound edge in experience, speed and finesse on the forward wall. • From the Morg(ue) Just three of State's '49 foot ball opponents have been named by Harold R. Gilbert, graduate manager of athletics. The Lions will tackle Army and Michigan State away, and Nebraska at home. . . . . . .

The meet has been moved back from the original Saturday date so that the Lion cross countrymen may attend the football game against Pennsylvania in Philadelphia Saturday afternoon. Manhattan, traditionally a power in Eastern cross country circles, appears stronger than ever this year. Not a single mem ber of last year's IC4-A title win ning team has graduated, and, in addition, the Jaspers have been bolstered by the addition of two outtanding running stars. Walt Soltow, who returned from the Army, and Martin En right, runner-up in lagt year's -IC4-A freshman mile meet, have added strength to the New Yorkers IMPROVING The Manhattanites, despite the fact that they 'can boast of only two victories in four dual meets this season, are improving stead ily and will offer a serious threat to the Blue and White harriers tomorrow. Manhattan dropped its first two meets of the year—to Army, 22- 34, and Syracuse, 21-34. In the past two weeks the much improved Jaspers trounced Dart mouth 20-35, and Seton Hall, 20- 43. Another indication of how rapidly the visitors are rounding into shape is the fact that they clipped almost a minute off their times while defeating. Seton Hall over the same course on which they lost to Syracuse earlier in the year. Last year the same Manhattan Lion Booters Seek Win Over Orange While the Lion grid forces en gage the Quakers at Franklin field on Saturday the Lion soccer forces will match blows at home with Syracuse on the varsity soc cer field. The Orange booters succumbed to the Jeffreymen last year by a 6-4 score and all indications are that this year's match will be more one-sided. Syracuse bowed to Colgate by a 3-0 score earlier in the season while the Lions humbled Colgate 4-2, last week. FAVORED Although the Orangemen are on the upgrade, taking a 30-0 decision from Samson last week end, the Blue and White soccer forces should add victory number five to the record books. A loss to Navy is the only de feat that mars the otherwise per fect slate of Coach Jeffrey's pro teges. Lion soccermen have down ed Army, Bucknell, Maryland and Colgate this season. Jeffrey is expected to field the identical starting lineup which he sent into the ' last week's fray with the exception of Fullback Jim Kline. Kline had replaced the ailing Chuck Margolf but Margolf has recovered from his leg muscle injury and is expected to talc: the field on Saturday. Veteran Frank Taucher will fill in at the other fullback slot with lanky Ed Taggert guarding the goal for the Lions. High scoring Harry Little along with 'Ted Lieb, Clarence Buss, Captain Dean Witmer and Hal Hackman will perform on the rorward lire. By Red Roth runners which will run here Fri day outran the Lions on two oc casions. They edged the Nittany ites, 27-28, in a dual meet and captured the IC4-A's in New York, while the Penn Staters placed third. Among the holdovers on the Manhattan team are Bob Che cola, Phil O'Connor, Bob Don nelly, Tom Connerford, Paul Tiernan, jie O'Keefe, and John Moran. The Lions, closing out their dual season, will be looking for their ;third victory in four meets. Al Porto, outstanding sophomore, suffered a slightly sprained ankle last week, but has been working out regularly with the squad. TOP SHAPE If the speedy• harrier is not in top shape for tomorrow's meet, it will be a severe blow to Lion chances. The rest of the squad, led by Captain Horace Ashenfelt er, is in top physical shape and will be out to avenge last year's loss to the Jaspers. Coach Chick Werner looks for a close contest against the visitors in Friday's meet. "Disregard Manhattan's early season losses," the Lion mentor commented. "They have a very good team which is improving all along. Their times, while losing to Syracuse four weeks ago, were better than ours when we beat NYU just a half hour earlier on the same Van Courtlandt park course." your Ate ---' rm Will be "STARRY - EYED" when you ask her to see the opening of "TEN NIGHTS IN A BARROOM" on Nov. 12th & 13th —at— CENTRE STAGE You'll love this att.occaskon flatterer.
