When an underdog Penn State eleven jogs onto the field against the iron-hoofed Army Mule at Michie Stadium this Saturday 'it will mark the fourth grid engagement between the two tradition-bound schools. . Only one of the three contests was settled decisively, the other two being ties. The lone victory, a 6-0 conquest chalked up by the Lions, occurred in the first game of the series in 1899 at West Point. Succeeding games found the,riyals dtteling to a pair of stalemates.

STATE ROPES ARMY MULE ' IN THRILLING 14-14 TIE State College, Nov. 21 1939—1 n one of the wildest exhibitions of the gridiron pastime seen in some time, the Lions and Cadets fought to a 14-14 draw at Michie Stad ium, Saturday. Unusual was the fact that both of the first two T.D.'s were scored by linemen, , with Walt Kniaz, Lion tackle, and, Bill Gillis, Cadet center, being the tally-producers. Kniaz scored on an intercepted , N. - :ss thrown by Jere Maupin, Army halfback, and galloped 45 yards for the first State marker after.only two minutes of the first quarter had ticked by. Ben 'Pol lock, Lion pinch-kicker, convert ed the extra point.' Late in the first chucker, with the Lions stymied by the Army forward wall on the State .25, Lloyd Ickes went into punt for !nation. It seemed as though half the. Cadet line seemed to take a vacation in the Lion backfield at just this moment and when Ickes booted, Cadet .

Art Frontczak booted the convers ion. Time marched on until the third period before the Lions produced their second tally, with the elaps ing minutes fall, of interceptions, fumbles and otherwise inefficient football. The Lions had the ball on the 44 with 8 .minutes to -go when Ickes, on a fake reverse, cut over the short side and tip-toed 56 yards down the sideline for - a score. Pollock converted. From then on was State, State, State all the way until the Cadets took to the air. All afternoon the Lions had bottled up the Army aerials, but just one is all it took. That one came with three minutes left in the game. Jack Hatch tossed to Harry Heffner on the Lion three where he was downed. Frei* Waddell, sub quarterback, drove over on the second play and Ivan Sattein, Army kicking specialist, tied the score with a nice boot. At Your Warner. Theater NOW!
