Bedenkmen Groom ' ■ t Passing Defense For the third week running, Joe Bedenk’s harassed Nittany Lions are climbing into their, air raid suits, preparing to face one of the nation’s top Collegiate passers. This Saturday, the .'man .with the rifle arm is‘Boston College’s Ed SOngiri, last season’s top gainer in yards, passing, 1,172, and second in total completions with 83 out of 169. ■ ' . - Bedenk and his assistants, as a result, have the Lion gridderi reading from the same practice script—pass defense and more pass defense—this week. The Lions ran through scrimmage ses sions, Tuesday and yesterday, and will taper off, to prevent injuries, in the last drills? Physically, the first team should be in top shape for this third tilt of the schedule. Reserve strength is a more serious problem with the loss of tackle Bob Ross. Coach Bedenk reports the sophomore, additions'to the squad are coming along, but slowly. BEGINS MONDAY. OCT. 10 Presented by the . International Film; Club. The French Hit!
