Lions Favored Over W. Virgini
Anders Possible Starter;
Passing Battle Expected
Beaten in their last three outings, West Virginia’s Moun
taineers can be expected to flood the air with passes in an
attempt to relocate the victory formula when they meet the
Nittany Lions for the 17th time on. Beaver field this after
noon.
Kickoff time is 1:30 p.m. ~
Victors over Boston College last week, the Lions are a
one touchdown favorite to cop
their third victory of the cam
paign. They have won two, tied
one, and lost three. The Moun
taineers enter the game with a
season mark of two wins, five
losses
The Lions hold an 11 to 4 mar
gin in the series with the Moun
taineers. West Virginia will be
seeking its first win since 1.944.
Anders To Play
The chances of a Penn State
victory were buoyed last flight
when trainer Chuck Medlar an
nounced sophomore fullback Paul
Anders would be ready for today’s
contest. Anders suffered a shoul
der separation last Saturday and
has been under treatment all
week. It is doubtful that Jim Pol
lard, another Lion fullback, suf
fering a similar injury, will see
action.
Anders has been out of action
all week, and Coach Rip Engle
will not decide until game tijjie
whether he will start him. In
the event that Engle decides not
to start Anders, the job will go
to Ted Shattuek, another sopho
more.
Despite their poor season mark,
the Mountaineers field a high
scoring unit which relies greately
on passing. In his first year at the
helm at West Virginia, Coach
Art Lewis is going through the
usual stages of rebuilding. His
task has been made somewhat
easier by one of the top passing
catching trios in the country.
Top Passing Trio
On the pitching end of the line
are Bill Allen, a right-handed
flinger, and Kent Bartges, a
southpaw. Most of the catching
will probably be handled by soph
omore end Paul Bischoff, who is
the 13th ranking pass receiver
in the nation.
This trio has largely been re
sponsible for the Mountaineers’
standing as the 10th best passing
team in the country. In seven pre
vious engagements West Virginia
lias completed 73 passes in 167
attempts for 1154' yards. They
have averaged 164.9 yards per
game.
At the same time, however, the
Mountaineers have been a soft
touch to opposition passers, so it

Of Harrier Giants
Coach Chick Werner’s cross

the State course. The run will
begin during the second period
of the football game.
Coach George Eastment’s Man
hattan Jaspers will be out to
snap the State cross country vic

Beat Syracuse
Breaking victory streaks is
nothing new to the Gotham city
harriers. Earlier in the season
they ended a Syracuse four-year
victory run of 16 dual meet vic
tories, 25-30.
Running away from all compe
tition in the New York City met
ropolitan championships, the Jas
pers have firmly established
themselves as one of the top cross
country teams in the east.
Lucas Top Foe Runner
Bill Lucas, two-time winner of
the metropolitan title, will pace
the Jasper contingent. Along with
Lucas, the Kelly Green features
such top-notch performers as
Captain Walter Soltow, Pat Duf

Touch football is no longer
strictly a man’s sport, at least not
at Denver university.
At Denver the coeds play a
game similar to the intramural
touch football played between
the fraternities and independents
at Penn State. Out there the pro
gram is called the fleet bowl,
according to Jack Lavin, a ’5O
graduate of the College.
Lavin said a cup is awarded
each year to the winning soror
ity. The contests are sponsored
by the Phi Kappa fraternity at
Denver. The coeds show plenty
of enthusiasm both on the field
and in the cheering sections. La
vin said he attended one of the
contests at which there were
about a thousand coeds.
