Kickoff time is 2 p. m. The Lions will be out to avenge the 26-7 licking the Wild cats handed them in the 1949 opener on Beaver Field. The all-time series between the two schools stands in favor _of Penn State which has won five and lost two, with one tie on. the records. Lions Enter Stiffest Part Of Schedule With only one game in the books, Penn State must start on the stiffest part of its schedule to day when the Lions play Villa nova.^-' After taking over Boston Uni versity in the season opener, 40-34, the Nittany Lions must take on Villanova, Nebraska, and Michi gan State in that order—and it’s np-easy order to fill. Tough Teams The Villanova Wildcats are rated as one of the top indepen dent teams .in the East this year Nebraska, although still without the service of Mr Touchdown U.S.A., Bobby Reyolds, is said to have one of its best teams in years. If Reynolds gets back, in action, the Comhuskers are given an even chance of wresting the Big Seven crown from mighty Oklahoma. At the moment, Michigan State is rated the top team in the coun try. With 28 lettermen returning, Coach Biggie Munn is expecting his Spartans to have one of their greatest teams. Michigan State will come to State College for the Homecoming game. After Michigan State the Lions entertain West Virginia, a team which is said to be “on‘ the why back.”- Purdue Next The Nittanies, take on Purdue the following week and will have to contend with Mr. Dale Samuels and Co. Syracuse comes to the .Nittany Vale on the following Saturday and the Orange is another team which is “loaded this year.” Rutgers plays host to the Nit tanies the following week and (Continued on page eight) issue | Villanova « PRICE FIVE CENTS By ERNIE MOORE State Underdog Villanova will go into the game six-point favorites, by virtue of its 21-7 win over Army last Sat urday in the season opener. Penn State opened the season by de feating Boston University, 40-34.

East in this week’s voting. Wildcats Beat Navy Although the season has not progressed far enough for the two schools to have played a common opponent, Penn State and Villa nova, did play a common foe in Spring scrimmages. The Wildcats defeated Navy in an unofficial contest last Spring. Just one week later, the Midshipmen from An napolis outscored Coach Rip En gle’s gridders from Penn State. Both teams are primed for this afternoon’s contest. After. hand ing Army its first opening day setback since the early 1890’s, Vil lanova’s gridders are anticipating an undefeated season. The Lions are not looking that far ahead but, as Engle says, “taking each game as it comes,” they have marked this game as a must. The game today will also put Penn State’s offense, which was so impressive against Boston Uni versity last Saturday, to the test. The Lions gained 341 yards along the ground against the Terriers— enough to rank them ninth in the nation in rushing. The Nittanies’ 424 total offense yardage ranks them fifteenth in the country, ac cording to National Collegiate Bureau statistics. ■ Engle has had the Lions work ing most of the week on their de fense, which was not too impres sive last weekend: About Same Lineup Rip will string along with al most the same lineup which open ed against BU for today’s contest. The only change anticipated will be at a defensive guard position where Don Barney, who had been injured, will start instead of freshman Orville Haldeman. The Lions will line up on the offense with Co-captain Art Betts at left end, Ed Hoover at left tackle, Len Bartek at left guard, Jim Dooley at center, Tom Fevar nik at right guard. Bill Hocker smith at right tackle, and Joe Yukica at right end. Bob Szajna will start at quar (Continued on page eight) , Lion Sport Schedule Football—Villanova at Allen town High School Stadium.
