PAGE FOUR Grid Lions Smack Syracuse Major Injuries Absent In White's 33-21 Win Nittanyville’s gridders, toasting their 33-21 victory over Syra cuse and their climb to a .500 season percentage, are preparing for West Virginia this week, assured that lessons they learned from early rivals have made them a stronger ballclub. The Lions swallowed some bitter medicine while Villanova was showing them the danger of underestimating opponents; while Army taught the value of well-smoked reserves. Michigan State illustrated how a diversified attack and sharp down-field blocking were essen tials. Against Boston College and Nebraska, the teams they beat, the Lions learned the value of line charging as a pass defense. Every point in their education paid off before 18,600 fans Satur day as Coach Joe Bedenk’s crew stormed to their third win, sock ing the Orangemen with their fourth defeat. Not only did the Lions win, they carrie out of the engagement ready for more. The injury jinx took a holiday with no major injuries cropping up. Fran Rbgel and Chuck Beatty will defi nitely be in shape for Saturday and Ray Hedderick is a possibility. Only reserves Ed Hoover and Con Brown are out for sure. SLOW START It took the Lions almost a half to get started, however, as they basked in the sunshine of being favorites and Syracuse aimed for an upset; Came the second half and State thfew away its press clippings and went to work on the gridiron. • Lesson I—don t under estimate rivals. Number ll—Joe Bedenk kept his eleven at top shape through most of the game by substituting cagily with his improving reserves. That eliminated the late-inning lag that ruined the Lions at West Point. Nobody missed the other three points. Sharp blocking in key spots by Joe and Chuck Drazenovich, | Chandois Johnson, and others shook Bill Luther loose for his 80- yard touchdown jaunt in the sec ond quarter and Owen Dougherty ' for his 49-yard sprint with an in tercepted pass for a fourth-period scor6« 1 A diversified attack that mixed Dougherty’s left-hand passes with Vince O’Bara’s off-tackle slants and end runs, Fran Rogel and Len Shephard’s center plunges, .and Luther’s running and passing gave the: Lions their most consistent of fense to date LINE SPARKLES Sparked by Don Murray, Negley Norton, Jack Storer, Lloyd Am prim and a flock of others, the line lived up to its notices, savagely rushing Syracuse’s Bernie _ Custis and forcing the Negro passing ace to toss the ball in a hurry. Operating calmly from his quar terback spot, Custis was superb however. He completed better than 50 per cent of his passes, some of them thrown with the Lion frontwall hanging on his neck. One of Custis’ passes went for a touchdown and another, for 40 yards in the final minute of play, set-up the Orange’s last TD. Syracuse struck for its first score without Custis just three minutes after the game opened. Sophomore Bill Haskins led the way with a 56-yard run to the State 22, where on the second play sub Quarter back John Foley tossed to Bob Young for the score. Bob Koleser’s placement attempt was good; in fact, he kicked three good' points during the afternoon, running his mark to 16 out of 17 during the season. , State hurried back with pough erty hurling to John Smidansky for 32 yards and a score, but Joe Drazenovich missed the point and Syracuse stayed in front, 7-6. SCORE FOR SCORE In the second quarter, Custis got into the act with a 26-yard aerial to George Davis, but the Lions followed one point behind as Luther trotted 80 yards with a punt return. ■ ■ Rogel entered the game the first time State took the ball in the second half, and after Luther and Dougherty rolled up a first down via the statue of liberty, the Lions unraveled the sensational play of the contest —a buck lateral with Luther passing to Rogel for 43 yards. Four plays from the 4-yard line and Rogel put State ahead with his plunge. * O’Bara personally accounted for °>2 yards m a 72-yard drive that By 808 KOTZBAUER Back In Action marched for the next TD. He wound up scoring on an 11-yard scoot around right end. Dougherty added the next touchdown on his 49-yard return of an interception. Custis and the Orange, with the minutes fading, scored once 'more On the game’s final play, the key act being Custis’ pass to Tom Lehr for 40 yards to the State 8.

Up until this time, the rule has been to pit two full teams against each other and substitute when and where possible. With the large number of candidates reporting to fall practice, following the usual pattern would leave too many men with nothing to do. SOLUTION ' As a solution to this prdblem, Thiel has divided his squad into three parts : —attack, midfield ; anti defense —the three' phases- of-the game. Thiel, Baerand McHugh will each take charge of a squad of 15 men and work on the funda mentals and strategy for each po sition so that as many men aa pos sible are working at thesame time'.' Three of the most promising candidates at this time appear to be attackmen Jim Rfeed and Hud Wolfram, and midfielder.
