THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Between Lions— Continued from page two Coach Higgins told this reporter: "Yes, we are receiving feel ers from bowls, but let's disre gard the telegrams and tele phone calls for the moment and wait till we see if we win our last two games. Then we'll see what the College administra tion—and the team—think." We quizzed several Blue and White gridders on their feelings about a possible invitation to re turn to the Cotton Bowl, and re ceived favorable response. One might even term it enthusiastic. Francis Rogel, iron-legged State 7ullback, declared: "All of us—the whole team—, certainly want to return to the Cotton Bowl and play SMU again, if we get the chance. It'd be great fun!" Cheltenham Boys Tony Pileggi, pint-sired sophomore tailback who caught the eye of Lion fans in the Temple fray, was a freshman at Cheltenham high school, near Philadelphia, when Wally Trip lett, ace wingman, was a senior there. As the Nittany Lion subs hur ried to insert one more play in the records before time ran out against Temple, the final whistle caught them in the process of lining up. At this point, Pileggi began to run to .the left, then made •a superb hand-off--to the referee—and the game was over. In their all-opponent selec tions, last year's unbeaten Nit tany gridders rated Pitt's cur rent pair of ends, Leo Skladany and Bill McPealc, the best tan dem combination on on. team. However, the two Panthers yielded the top all-opponent terminal positions to SIVIU's Captain Sid Halliday, and Temple's John Rogers. Pitt's Guard Bernie Barkous kie—another starter today along with Skladany and McPeak— was also praised by the '47 Lions for his outstanding play against them.
