Gridders Clash With Viflanova By Bob Kotsbauer A battle of hard-smacking, driv ing fullbacks will be the feature attraction at New Beaver Field tomorrow when the Villanova Wildcat invades the lair of the Nittany Lion to open the 1949 Penn State grid schedule. • Out of the 60-minute smoke and fury may come a potential "full back of the East." Providing he has worked the soreness out of a pulled thigh •muscle, Fran Rogel, already named as possible East ern star at the plunging spot, will be carrying the mail or the Bedenkmen. The Wildcats will throw .two buckers. Ralph Pas-. quariello "and Pete D'Alonzo, into the line to prove that State has no monopoly on power. Rogel, Penn State's leading groUnd gainer for two successive years and scoring . leader with seven, touchdowns last season, has recovered sufficiently from the leg injury to be used for limited service.

Captain Philip Mark, head of the campus patrol, reported that a covering of bluish-white paint was applied to Penn State's tradi tional symbol "sometime after 4 a.m. yesterday." In addition, a 15-foot "V" was burned Field grass in front of - the" East' stands at about the 50-yard line. This would place the' initial al most directly in front of the bench the visiting Villanova foot ball team will occupy for tomor row's grid contest. The vandals also attempted to paint the word "Villanova" across the inside of the ticket booths facing Rec Hall but in the words of Capt. Mark, "they ran out of booths." No Clues No clues to the identity of the culprits could be found. Only evidence left at the scene of the crime was an empty paint can near the Shrine and a parti ally-filled jug of gasoline on New Beaver Field. It is believed the gasoline, was used to burn the "V" into the turf. Fortunately the paint used on the shrine and ticket booths was of a washable variety and already the traces of the painting have been erased. New Students Hear Leaders At Orientation Meeting New students at the College were given an explanation of the major fields of activity on campus by student leaders at a meet ing sponsored by All-College Cabinet in Rec Hall Wednesday eve ning. .

The night watchman who guards the field reported that he had neither seen nor heard any thing suspicious until 4 a.m., the hour at which he goes off the job. This led Capt. Mark to speculate that the painting had been corn= milled after that time. May Be Work of Locals Mark, although he admittedly has no clues to the identity of the vandals. believes the painting and burning was perhaps the act of a local group rather than that of Villanova students. "Thin is the first time it was ever painted so early in the week," the campus patrol chief said.
