"’AGE FOUR 'Victory Will Our Slogan Be'. Football, Gridden lesf In 27-0 Victory Over W. Virginia By MARV KRASNANSKY At work on the job of convert ing Penn State’s football machine to the winged-T since the middle of August, Rip Engle yesterday admitted that this has been the longest season of his coaching career. The soft-spoken, likeable gray haired football strategian, how ever, was not too tired to pass out a few bouquets to those of his charges who distinguished them- selves in Saturday’s 27-0 conquest ' of West Virginia. Engle acknow ledged at the same time that the Lions would have to do as well if not better if they hoped to stretch their winning streak to three when they met a strong Rutgers team this week. 'Best of Season' “It was our best game of the season,” Engle said yesterday, and there was no doubt among followers of the Nittany fortunes as to the'accuracy of Engle’s ob servation. “Considering that we were playing the tenth best pass ing team in the nation,” Engle continued, “we played a tight pass defense.” Before Saturday Coach Art Lewis’ crew had amassed 153 points in seven games. Yet against the Englemen the Moun taineers completed 7 passes in 33 attempts for but 94 yards, and were dealt them first shutout. The West Virginians had even less success on the ground, where they were held to 26 yards. While Engle lauded his whole defensive unit, Chan Johnson, Don Barney, Dick Cripps, and Con Brown were singled out for ■ special praise. A standout all year, Barney, sophomore guard, •was cited by Engle for “a marve lous defensive game.” Penn Stale football coach Rip Engie and his adversary this Saturday, Harvey Harman of Rutgers, are no strangers to each other. They met twice be fore when Engle was coaching Brown. This will be the rubber game of a three-game rivalry. Har man's Scarlet team downed Engle's gridders, 27-20. in 1947, while Brown dumped Rutgers, 20-6, the following year. Were it not for the fact that the Lions also turned in their best offensive performance of the season, the victory might be termed a defensive one. Any ball club that can, however, roll up 4(?4 yards from scrimmage, in cluding 286 on the ground and 118 via passing, can hardly be called a defensive team. Wide Open Attack With new flourishes being add ed to the winged-T with each week, the Englemen unleashed as wide open an attack as can be expected from ' a first-year T team. Scoring honors went, however to Ted Shattuck, of whom not much has been heard since the opener with Georgetown. Shat tuck set up the first Lion six pointer and scored two others. Shattuck got the Lions mov ing in the second period when ne broke off left tackle and sped 32 yards to the West Virginia 2 before being bumped out of bounds. Orsini bucked over on the next play, O’Bara converted and the Lions were off. Barney Sets Up Score Barney set up the next Nittany score a minute later when he in tercepted Bill Allen’s pass on the Mountaineer 30 and lugged it to the 15. A five yard penalty set Ihe Lions back temporarily, but Owen Dougherty, playing his best game of the season, connect ed to John Smidansky on a re verse pass for the touchdown. The Lions added their third six-pointer of the period 20 sec onds before halftime. It was the ;anic combination, O’Bara to f'snidansky, that set up the score on a " l-y’ d r~vir.l, and Shattuck (Continued on page five) THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. ■ STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Soccer, X-Country Teams Post Wins Once Over Lightly NITTANY HALFBACK Tony Orsini goes over on his back for Penn State's first touchdown against West Virginia Saturday.

The victory marked the Penn State crew as the team to beat in the coming IC4-A meet Mon day, November 20. State’s harriers, in compiling its undefeated record, had no trouble at all during the season with any of its adversaries. The Nittany cross countrymen took Pitts burgh, Cornell, Michigan State, N.Y.U., and Saturday’s opponent Manhattan by" convincing mar gins. Although Bill Ashenfelter stole the individual show the Lion har riers showed an outstanding dis play of balance. Team balance has been the factor that has made the State cross country team one of the top teams in the east. Coach Chick Werner was very much pleased with Saturday’s victory, but is taking somewhat of a conservative outlook on his team’s chances for the coming IC4-A and NCAA meets. In relating the quality of this year’s team, Werner, stated that in previous seasons he had coach ed only one team with three men who ran times under 27 minutes. In the Manhattan meet eight men turned the trick, with a ninth man missing by two seconds. Big Bill Ashenfelter, undefeat ed in all dual meets this season, captured first place with a win ning time of- 25:40. Bill Lucas, Manhattan ace, who tagged alongside of Ashenfelter for the first four miles, felt the pace in the final mile and lagged behind Ashenfelter. He ran the five mile course in 25:50.5. For Lucas it was only the sec ond time this season he has tast ed defeat. The other defeat came against Army when the Black Knight’s sensational Dick Shea outlegged him. Manhattan’s Pat Duffy finished in the third spot with a 26:03 time. Bob Freebairn with a 26:14 time took the fourth place, while Bill Gordon’s 26:26 was good enough for the fifth position. Dudley Foster at 26:31. Don Ashenfelter at 26:41, and A 1 Porto at 26:42, finished sixth, seventh and eighth respectively. Walt Soltow was the third Jas per to finish, garnering the ninth spot with a 26:46 time. Jack St. Clair moved along to take tenth with a 26:50 mark. Bob Parsons edged Manhattan’s Frank Egan for the 11th position. Parsons wds clocked at 26:55 and Egan at 26:57. Stan Lindner finished 13th at 27:01.

The goals were scored by Clarence Buss and Ron Coleman. . The contest, which Coach Bill Jeffrey called, “The best game we’ve had with Syracuse- in years,” was exciting throughout. The Orange team, spotted with South Americans, Europeans,- and Ethidpians, oroved its ability" by consistently outplaying the Lions during the first half, which end ed, 0-0. The best scoring opportunity that presented itself in the initial half was a penalty kick, but Harry Little’s boot from the 12- yard line was blocked by Sy Zim merman, the Orange goalie. Zimmerman played a brilliant game, repeatedly turning back the Nittany offense, which got underway ir. the second half with some of the best shooting seen here all season. It was not till 12:45 of the third quarter that Buss could push the first goal past the Orange net minder.
