SATURDAT, tn, - MtsElt 14, ItMI 'On The Ball' EY RAY KOEHLER Sports Editor A recent statement in the Penn State Alumni News by Ridge Ri ley, alumni secretary at the Col lege, ' concerning the roughhouse tactics of the Army football team has unintentionally aroused a howl of indignation from a NeW York Herald-Tribune sports - re porter. Labeling as "irresponsible" Ri ley!s comments on the "obvious vicious football taught at West Point," the reporter, JeSse Ab ramson, stated that when the refs submitted their reports to E.C.- A.C. Commissioner Asa Bushnell, the Cadet's 134 penalty yards were dismissed as not being ex ceptionally rough. (That is, not exceptionally rough for the U.S. Military Academy.) Riley, who left for the Syra cuse = Penh State grid -encounter shortly Ibefore noon yesterday. was . not available for comment on the article which appeared in yesterday's edition of the Tri bune. , While the opinion of ihe popu lar altimni secretary could not be called exactly unbiased, :it is thought—in this corner, at least= that whai he said hit the issue squarely. Certainly all was not sweetness and light between tile two teams last Saturday. As one member of the squad expressed it, . "It was sure hell under those pileups!" The main gripe of the Trib scribe centered about the follow ing statements made by Riley af ter the game: "Our boys never quit and they were in there at the finish still trying. This took courage against the ,kind of vicious football the West Pointers are apparently taught . . . we don't set any rea son why it isn't cricket to write about something so complel,:y obvious to all observers of Army football ... Army's roughing pen alties speak for themselves . . . played outside the fringe, foot ball can get pretty obnoxious and, frankly, we can't see why teams must continue to absorb stuff like that and then ignore the inci -dents• out of respect or awe or something just because it's the United States Military Academy." :Usually biased in favor of teams in the Gotham area—and maybe trying to drum up a fracas !

Orange Frosh Top lion Gridders 14-0 , SYRACUSE, Oct. 13 Penn State's frosh footballers were handed their second defeat of the season this afternoon, when they took a sound 14-0 drubbing from the Syracuse freshmen. Their offensive stemmed by the muddy 'field and Syracuse's hard-charging line, the Lion cubs were unable to penetrate enemy territory all afternoon. Quarterback 13 r u c'e Yancey scor e d the Tangerine's . first touchdown midway through the second quarter, wnen he scamp ered across from the two-yard on a bootleg play. A blocked punt set up tne play on State's 35-yard line. The second tally came in the final quarter when Bob Lieber man smashed off tackle from the nve-yard line. Jim George con verted both extra points. The Syracuse eleven, who de scribed the State as "lumbering," was also hampered by the condi tion of the field, as they were in side State's 25-yard line seven times, only to lose possession of the ball on fumbles. State quarterback Bob Szajna had trouble finding his receivers, but' his passes found their way into the arms of the Tangerine defenders, as five of his passes were intercepted. on a dull news day—the view of the New, York scribes on the Ar my misdemeanors continues to be one of. "the king can do no wrong." Says Abramson: "Army is one of the best con clititoned an d hardest hitting teams you'll find. That's one of the secrets of Blaik's success and Army's twenty-two game u;,:de feated streak. That's the game and the way Army plays it, ar.l Army. wouldn't be up there if it let down on its blocks and tackles."
