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. Bedenk plans to• use the
five-foot, ten-inch, 195 pound
senior for offensive duties only.

Lion Shrine Painted;
'V' Burned on Field
The Nittany Lion Shrine in front of Rec Hall received its annua
coat of paint early this year.
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

Workmen on their way to com

painting early yesterday morn

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. "Normally any painting of
the Lion is done on Friday night
