dale squad Friday afternoon turned in the fastest time trials ever recorded in a practice
session since Werner's tenure as head coach.
Both varsity and freshman teams turned in marks unbelievably fast for so early in
the year. Turning back through the records Werner and freshman coach Norm Gordon
could find no times comparable to Friday's practice.
The time trails to determine the squad representing State
against Pitt this Saturday were enough to make any coach dream of
an undefeated season... but not so for Werner.
Coaches Impressed

Lions Concenfrafe On Pass Defense
In Attempt To Half Syracuse's Custis
Convinced that his gridders will be facing "a better quar
terback than we did last week" in Syracuse's Bernie Curtis,
football coach Rip Engle had his gridders working hard yes
terday on maneuvers designed to bottle up the Orange pass
ing attack.
Whi,le Engle is concerned about
Curtis' right arm and the havoc
it might cause in the Nittany sec
ondary, he isn't forgetting the
powerful running attack genera
ted from Coach Floyd Schwartz
walder's version of the winged-T.
The Orange ground game, paced
by halfback Ed Dobrowolski and
fullback John Colceri, is free
wheeling and rugged.
Curtis, possibly the best T-for
mation quarterback in the coun
try, is a "great runner, and a
great passer," according to Engle.
His presence on the field is
enough to make any team a con
tender.
With the exception of the sea
son's opener with Rutgers, won
by Syracuse, 42-12, Curtis has
been thoroughly throttled. How
ever, it's a tough job keeping him
down, and this may be the week
he will break loose again.
After opening with the resound

from Piety Hill were spilled by
