THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
slippery New Beaver practice
field last night, Phi Epsilon Pi
overwhelmed a strong Phi Sigma
Kappa nine, 13-6, and the Coal
Crackers, with Cy Troyan kick
ing and passing like another
Johnny Lujack, swept to a bril
liant 32-6 victory over the Hot
Rocks.
If one man outshone any of
the others on the TM field last
night, it was the Coal Crackers'
Mr. Big, Cy Troyan, who capped
a brilliant season by doing
everything right from his tail
back post.
Troyan passed to every touch
down, hitting his receivers at
will; he skirted the Rocks' ends
frequently, kept the Rocks in
their own territory with long
kicks, and ripped the heart out of
the losers' offense with defensive
skill.
The Crackers, rushing through
the Rocks' sieve-like line for' 19
points in the first half, paused in
their spree to allow Ed Taggert
to pass to Pat Hart for the Rocks'
only score, then came back to
boost their total to that phe
nomenal 32 markers.
Phi Epsilon Pi's victory, on
the other hand, was a grueling
grind from start to finish. A
punting duel developed early in
the first half, until midway
through the period, Phi Sigma
Kappa kicked to their own 45.
There Leo Greenwald of the vic
tors snatched the ball, ran and
passed to the one-yard line where
on the next play slinging Sammy
Freedson whipped to Murray
Rosetski for the first score. The
point was good and Phi Ep's led,
7-0.
After another punting duel,
Phi Sigma Kappa's Terry Roth
intercepted a Rosetski pass and
went the distance to Make the
count 7-6, and that's the way the
half ended.
In the second period, the Phi
Sig's pushed all the way to the
winners' three - yard line - but
couldn't score. Then Sammy
Freedson started, a pass series
that saw five men handling the
