Between Lien* ISSw By Tom Morgan SPORTS editor On "Air Teams Before many more football seasons go by, the annual swarm of All-America teams which glut sports pages about this time will evojte a rebellion from fans who try to follow them. We’re about to throw in the towel ourselves right now and follow one of two courses: 1) Utter a disdainful "phooey” toward everybody's ''all" selections and pick our own top grid eleven; 2) keep silent. (Unless we receive 1000 letters in tomorrow's mail urg ing us to pursue the first course, wg shall rely on the fpcpnd as the wisest.) Opponents Judge Approaching the meat of this discourse, however, we gain a re freshing spark of pleasure from anther kind of “all” team. It’s dii|r opiniop that a true judge of a players ability on the gridiron is pis opponent. With this in mind, we come uppn a release from West Vir ginia which lists the Moun tatne e r s' 1948 all-opponent football team. The power-laden Nitiany Lions captured six of the eleven posts, three on the line and three in the backfield. Honored by their West Virginia foes were Sam Tamburo, end; Negley Norton, tackle; John Simon, guard; Chuck Drazeno vjch, quarterback; Elwood Petchel, halfback, and Wally Triplett, halfback. All of which speaks well for Hflin State football.

Dr. H. C. “Doc” Carlson’s dribblers, perennial western Penn slvania powerhouses, usually boast a well balanced, rapid-lire ma chine, and if early reports from the Smoky City are any criterion this year’s Pitt squad will not prove an exception, The S.R.O. sign is expected to be hung out early at the Pitt Stadium in anticipation of a typ ical Carlson-versus-John Lawtn er scrimmage. Violently opposed to the Lawther-styled sliding zone defense, the Panther men tor would like nothing better than to paste the Nittanymen with their first defeat. PAST If past performances can be used as a standard, the game promises to be a low scoring, nip-and-tuck battle right down to the wire. Last year the Pitt yrarrlors of the wooden way de feated the Lions, 35-34 and 42-34. Since the inception of court re lations between the two clubs, Penn State has emerged the vic tor in 39 contests While Pitt has taken 31 tilts. The Pitt scoring punch will be supplied by its two high-scoring co-captains, “Dodo Canterna, for ward, and Sammy David, his run ning mate at the other front court post. Lou ‘Bimbo’ Cecconi, football luminary, is expected to start at one of the ball handling slots.
