SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1948 Lion Captain Confident State Will Emerge Victor "We're going to win, that's for sure." Thus spoke confident Joe Colone, Nittany Lion football captain, when asked the question that is on everyone's lips. Although he wouldn't go out on a limb as to the score, the mod est, smiling Colone was definite as to who will be the victor when the final whistle makes today's game history "They're my special boys" he said when queried as to how he feels about playing the Quakers. "I never expected to get another crack at them, but now that I have that chance, I'm glad it's to be in Philadelphia. I get a bigger kick out of our beating them in front of their home crowd," said Captain Colone UPSET Nobody who follows Penn State football will forget the last time the Lions bumped into a powerful Quaker team and scored a stunning upset. Back in '42 the unexpected win was due in large to the present captain's educat ed kicking foot. Then only a freshman, Joe re peatedly pushed Penn back with booming punts. These kicks, coupled with the darting scamp ers of Larry Joe, also a freshman then, paved the way to the 13-7 victory. Colone hopes that his ability as a kicker will not be in great de mand today, although he'll be ready when needed. Last week he booted two and averaged 58 yards. Joe has never played against any member of the present Penn team and this will make victory even sweeter, for a win today will enable him to have had a hand in Lion triumphs over two different kingpin elevens of Penn. PEAK Since returning from the war, Colone admits he has slowed down in his running and so far this season has not been smash ing opponents' lies in the old Colon style.

ARMY TIE Since that grey Saturday the Philadelphians have only a 7-7 tie with Army's Cadets last year to mar an otherwise perfect record.

That same boy, now a senior, will play his final game against Penn this afternoon with both coaches and fans counting cut Larry Joe to again lead the Nittany team to victory. Larry received his "break" in the 1942 game when Earl "Spar ky" Brown, who scored the ini tial Lion touchdown in the cru cial game, was injured and had to leave the fray. Coach Higgins was forced to use Joe but in et few plays, realized that this wen one of the wisest substitutions be made that day.
