JPAGE SIX Over Injuries and Back in the Lineup... State, BU Clash Tomorrow Return of Injured Gridders Raises State's Hope for Win in Opener Penn State’s hopes for a victory in its opening game tomorrow with Boston University on Beaver Field reached a new high yester day when State trainer Chuck Medlar gave the okay sign to four Lion gridders who had been sidelined all week with injuries. Medlar announced that wing back Bob Pollard, tackle Dick Cripps, tackle Jack Pfirman and guard Don Barney would be available at least for limited ac tion. Quarterback Tony Rados and halfback Ted Shattuck, who were also on the injured list, have al ready returned to the lineup. With Pollard, Cripps, Pfirman, and Barney back, Penn State will almost be at full strength for the opener. Only halfback Buddy Rowell and guard Pete Schoder bek will miss the game. Lineup Uncertain Although Engle has not made a final decision on his starting lineup, the Lions will • probably lineup offensively with Co-cap tain Art Betts and Joe Yukica at ends, Ed Hoover and Bill Hock ersmith at tackles, Len Bartek and Tom Pevarnik'at guards, and Jim Dooley at center. The backfield will probably consist of Rados at quarterback, Shattuck at halfback, Pollard or Bill Leonard at wingback, and Paul Anders at fullback. Defensively, Engle will' prob ably field Charlie Wilson and Pat McPoland at ends, Stew Scheetz and Cripps at tackles, Don Barney and Joe Gratson at guards, co-captain Len SheppaTd and Joe Shumock as lineback ers, Leonard and either Pollard or Wayne, Wolfkeil at halfbacks, and Chan Johnson at safety. Non-Committal Engle ,was non-committal on the outcome of the game tomor row. “They’ve played one game al ready. (BU lost to William and Mary last Saturday, 34-25). I really don’t know how tough they are. If Agganis hadn’t returned to Boston, I would feel much more confident,” he said. “They are saying up there that they will be a lot stronger this week against us than they were against William and Mary.” Knew 3 Plays A story in a Boston paper quoted Boston Assistant Coach Steve Sinko after the W & M game as saying that Agganis only knew three plays for the William and Mary game. The Boston quarterback only had one day of practice before the Terriers’ opener. He was just discharged from the Marines last week. Boston Coach Buff Donelli will probably start an offensive line up of Tom Oates and Bob Capu ano at ends, Don Frazier and Joe Barbagallo at tackles, Ray Cata loni and Len D’Errico at guards, John Pappas at center, Harry Ag ganis at quarterback, John Kas tan and Don Defeudis at half backs, and Lou Petroka at full back. By ERNIE MOORE Nat'l Champion Harriers 'Marked' by Opponents The only trouble with having a national championship team one year is that the following year’s squad is marked by every opponent as “the one to beat.” That is the tough position Ch squad is faced with as they make IM Grid Schedule games scheduled for yester day will be played tonight, ac- The following IM football cording to Dutch Sykes, assis tant director of intramural sports: 7:oo—Alpha Chi Rho vs Phi Epsilon Pi 7:4s—Alpha Phi Delta vs Triangle B:3o—Alpha Epsilon Pi vs Alpha Phi Sigma 9:ls—Sigma Phi Sigma vs Sigma Alpha Epsilon State May Get Gym Tryouts Harold R. “Ike” Gilbert, gradu ate manager of athletics at the College, and Gene Wettstone, gymnastics coach, will leave for New York this weekend for Olym pic meetings.

U.S. Asked to'Sever Soviet Relationships ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Sept. 27 ( JP) The national patriotic order, Sons of America, today urged that the U.S. cut off dip lomatic relations with the Soviet Union.

Every team faced by State this year, and each one is among the strongest in the East, 1 wants to garner some glory for their school by beating the national collegiate champion Lions. . / Manhattan Eager But if any of the Lioris’ ’5l foes —Pitt, Cornell, Michigan State, Army, NYU, and ■ Manhattan— wants to beat the champs the most, it must be Manhattan. There is plenty of rankling left in the mind of the Jaspar’s coach, Ben Eastman-, over the way his proud runners were unmercifully trounced last fall by State. Manhattan is perennially the champ of New York City’s Metro politan track games so it was quite a shock to be trounced 23-38 by the Lions last fall. Nitlany Rout That day Bill Ashenfelter out lasted both the Jasper’s aces Bill Lucas and Pat Duffy to win but that didn’t surprise/Manhattan’s Coach Eastman as much as the sight that followed. Bob Free bairn, Bill Gordon, Dud Foster, Don Ashenfelter and A 1 Porto swept fourth through eight posi tions successively to make it a Nittany rout. Eastman hasn’t forgotten that deluge of Blue and White colors and will really be after revenge on Nov. 10 when the Lion har riers travel to Gotham. Another hill-a. n d-dale squad with as much desire and as much potential to upset the Lionfe as Manhattan is track-p ower f u 1 Michigan State. Spartans Walloped A year ago the Spartans were treated with more disrespect than Manhattan as the mightly Lions walloped them, 19-43. The Spartans were without the services that day of Dick Roberts. Warren Druetzler, their best, came up with a side stitch at the four-mile mark. But in return meets both at f the IC-4A’s and the NCAA’s Penn State beat them again. With State’s national champion ship ranks badly depleted this fall, every foe figures this is the year to repair some deep scars. - Pigskin Pipe Dreams The Collegian sports staff's football prediction contest enters < its second week.'Co-captain Len Shephard represents the football' team this week in its "guessing battle" with the sportswriters , big three.
