THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1948 Between The'•* Lions II By Tom Morgan SPORTS EDITOR From the Morg(ue) In Saturday's football fray with Temple, Lions' Dalton Rum berger and Rip Scherer tallied their first TD's for Penn State. End Dannie Kline pulled one of the most spectacular blocks we've seen. . . . With Scherer romping' to the goal for his ' score, Kline's block on the Temple saf et y man—Shelly Feldman—prompted the Owl to execute a three-quarter som ersault over Kline's shoulder. A Temple punt traveled high in the air but covered only two yards horizontally. . . . To top the list of oddities, a cluster of balloons broke away from the Temple band and was deposited atop the flagpole by the wind. At that point Lou Bell, di rector of public info at the College, announced innocently in the press box: "We've been practicing that for weeks!" Quarterback Chuck Drazeno vich was relieved in the Temple fray for the first time since the Colgate game.. . . He saw 60 minutes' action against Penn, which constituted his second full tilt this year. . . . Logged 60 against Michigan State. Fleet-footed Lion Halfback Vince O'Bara has a brother on the Pitt football team. . . . End Sam Tamburo is top man on the Penn State eleven in total play ing time spent on the gridiron. ... He has averaged 47.5 minutes per game. . . . Chuck Drazeno vich's average is a minute less, Triplett's is three. Sixteen players have con tributed to Penn State's, total of 212 points for the football season. . . Accolade for Paul Kelly, rugged Lion guard:. The AP says, "Ho was probably the big reason that Penn State was able to knock Penn from the undefeated ranks." . . . Kelly . made five strategic tackles be hind the gorirnmage line. Yogis' Again Offer Alibis Alibis have begun to come through for last weekend's grid upsets. Even the Daily Collegian prognosticators, alias Tom Mor- Gan, Red Roth, Elliot Krane, and eorge Vadasz, have joined in the parade of explanations. It seems that some scoundrel *Wiped the special cloth used to polish the crystal ball used by the Collegian staff. Morgan and Roth, who man aged to see through the smeared glass, came out on top of the heap with eight winners in eleven selections. Vadasz just about broke even with six right. The crystal ball grew too hazy, so he used cards for the other five games, but they all turned out wrong, since he forgot to stack the deck first. Coming in last with a 5-6 job, Krane reported the theft to the proper authorities. Evidence indicates that this was an outside job perpetrated by certain football players dis satisfied with the predictions. As a result of last week's mis haps the Yogis' individual rec ords for the season stand this way: Morgan Vadasz Krane Roth 66-26 .717 63-29 .684 62-30 .673 58-34 .630 HAIR en the FACE ARMS AND LEGS IMMO Penniman* by ELECTROLYSIS ..-thit only method en diessod by physicians. S. BAGEL 103 E. BIOTIN Ave. Mete College-8285 Pitt Aims for In Traditional Pittsburgh's football coach, Mike Milligan, holding a fair record of five wins against thtee defeats, will attempt to turn his season into an overwhelming success this Saturday by defeating the uncon quered Nittany Lions. "All that Pittsburgh needs," said Nittany End Coach Earle Edwards, "is a win over Penn State and Pitt would have an out standing season." Edwards, who scouted Pitt this season and saw . _ it upset the two-touchdown fa vorite, Purdue, spoke highly of the Pittsburgh team. "In Lou Cecconi, Pitt has a counterpart of our Elwood Pet chel. Cecconi is a little heavier than Petchel, but he passes and runs much like him." Cecconi is leading the Panthers in total offense and, in last week's game, came up with two sensational pass interceptions to halt Purdue drives. On one interception, the 160- pound tailback leaped high into the air to pull the ball from a rival's hands and, on the other, he caught the ball while lying on his back. "A very dangerous man in the Pitt backfield," continued Coach Edwards, "is Jimmy Joe Robin son. Just last week he ran 100 yards to score against Purdue on a kick return, and in 1945 went 84 yards to score Pitt's winning marker in the 7-0 Penn State- Pitt game." Two veteran ends, Leo Skla dany, brother of Temple's star back, and Captain Bill McPeak, present 400 pounds at the termi nals of the big Panther line: Wil ber Forsythe, 200-pound veteran ' tackle, will team with the only newcomer to the Pitt line, Nick Bolkovac, at the guard posts. Bolkovac, a 210-pound, 6-foot, 4-inch gridder from Youngstown, Ohio, was a standout at Youngs town Wilson High and hafi re ceived offers from collp?ges in cluding Ohio State, Flor} it and Georgia. However, Vie Ohio tackle applied at Pittsburgh and made the varsity in his sopho more year. Besides his duties in the ling, he does all the extra-point and kickoff duties of the Panther squad. Bernie Barkouskie and Charles Thomas, both of whom played against the Lions last yew', will start at the guard positions, and 185-pound Don Fisher will start at center. Punting specialist for Satur day's fray will be Bill Hardisty, who has lofted the ball 80 yards with the wind and is noted for aiming coffin-corner kicks at op ponents. Pittsburgh opened its season by taking on two of the top foot ball powers in the nation, South ern Methodist and Notre Dame. Both opponents racked up a total of 73 points against 14 for Pitts burgh and the Smoky City root ers settled down for another win less season. But the Panthers suddenly came to life and, sparked by Lou Cecconi, upset West Virginia, Marquette, highly-favored Indi ana, and then crushed the only "breather" on the schedule, West ern Reserve. The high-flying Ohio State Buckeyes were too much for the Panthers and they bowed, 41-0, PRINTING Multilithing Addressograph Service COMMERCIAL PRINTING Glennland Bldg.

"Pitt completely outplayed the Illinois team. Penn State will have to scrap every minute of the game if it expects to beat Pitt."

Lions Defeat Altoona Capers In First Basketball Scrimmage Penn State's basketball team showed the results of intensive preparation for the fast-approaching hoop season as the Nittany Lions led all the way in defeating an Altoona semi-pro club in an informal scrimmage this week in Rec Hall. The Lions, paced by veterans Will Parkhill and Martin Costa, took a commanding lead in the first half. The Penn State reserves took over for most of the second half and played on even terms with the visitors Penn State's tight zone de fense consistently kept the Al toona five from scoring, while Parkhill's set shots and Costa's play on rebounds gave the Lions the needed offensive edge. Milt Simon, clever Lion ball-handler, missed action due to a serious charley-horse and is not ex pected to be ready for the opener at Pitt on December 4. Of the new squad members, Joe Tocci and Ken Weis per formed well. Although both men are under 5 ft., 7 inches, they overcome their • diminutiveness with speed and basketball savvy.
