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.

Penn fray! Or even to last year's
rally in front of the William
Penn, complete with Blue Band.
To the loyal Lion gridiron fol
lower who was present at last
year's post-game Pitt celebra
tions the difference a year can
make will probably be even more
noticeable.
One aged resident of the West
ern Penn s y 1 vania metropolis
phrased the entire weekend per
fectly when she said, while wit
nessing the victory celebration
in the William Penn last year:
"I"ve seen two world war
armistices and an American Le
lion convention in this city, but
I've never seen anything like
this."
In point of rowdiness last
year's weekend probably hit a
new high for Nittanyites, sur
passing even this year's Penn
spectacle.
BEAT PITT SMOKER
The only official Nittariy Lion
celebration held in the city last
night was the annual "Beat Pitt"
smoker held in the Pittsburgh
