ternity sported a sign proclaim
ing: “Penn State and Dewey. . .
The annual crop of “all’’ teams
is upon us in bigger and broader
proportions . . . not content just
to select an All-American foot
ball squad and be done with it,
United Press sends along a leng
thy list of nominees for “all” con
sideration while not committing
itself yet to favoring any of them
for top national honors. . .

UP for All-American honors in
clude End Sam Tamburo, Tackle

ly, Center Chuck Beatty, Quart
erback Chuck Drazenovich, Tail

Speaking of Rogel reminds us
that the extraordinary Lion line
bucker dislikes to hear his name
mispronounced. He says: "You
pronounce it with the accent on
the second syllable, like ‘hotel.’ ”
.... Joe Colone's 66-yard
romp against Temple was the
longest of his career .... Even
the ref congratulated Danny
Kline, Lion terminal, on that
spectacular block thrown in the
Temple game. . . .
.... Ray Hedderick, number
two Nittany center, was a back
ip high school and at California
State Teachers College as a
freshman. . . .

Cougars bounced back to top
Idaho, 19-14, and tie Oregon

one of the best passing records
on the Coast this year. In the

a total of 80 passes and has com
pleted 42 for a better-than-half
average in completions. Six went

WILLIAMS
In the ground attack, the Cou
gars will have Jerry Williams,
who scored three touchdowns
against Oregon State and hard
plunging fullback Gordy Bruns
wick.
The Washington State team
runs for a “T” formation and on
occasion uses the double “T” in
which either the halfback of tail
back can receive a direct pass
from center.
The Lions have tangled with
the Cougars only once before and
in that contest, the Higginsmen
emerged with a 27-6 win. That
game, played in the “Chocolate
Bowl’’ at Hershey, started the win
streak that was interrupted only
by ties with Southern Methodist
and Michigan State and was bro
ken last week by Pittsburgh.

They study many things. How to speed

How to conserve the scarce metals which
