PENNSYLVANIA Gridders Leave for Chicago Enroute to Nebraska Game Simon or Siioclc To Spell Wilson In Lion Lineup By ERNIE MOORE Penn State’s football team left last night for Chicago, where the Lions will work out today be fore moving down to Lincoln for their game with the University of Nebraska tomorrow afternoon. Coach Rip Engle, his assistants, and a squad of 36 rnen went by bus to Altoona where they caught a train for the Windy City. After their workout today, the Lions will board another train for Lin coln. Playing their second away game in as many weeks, the Nit tany Lions will be out to win their second game of the season and get back on the winning trail after losing to Villanova in Allen town last Saturday. Nebraska Winless The Nebraskans have yet to win their first game, losing to Texas, Christian and tying Kansas State. Although it is still not cer tain how much he’ll play, Bobby Reynolds is slated to be back in uniform for, the Cornhuskers to morrow. The Nebraska All-Amer ican has yet to see action this season because of a shoulder sep aration suffered before the season began. ' Reynolds, who was selected Football Player of. the Year by the Pop Warner Foundation of Phila delphia last season, will give Nebraska’s offensive game a tre mendous lift should he return to the lineup. Last season, he set a new Big Seven Conference record of total yards gained rushing with 1342. His 157 points shattered a 30 year old NCAA record. Against Penn State last year, he went for scores on runs of 19, 26, and 43 yards. He scored three TD’s in one game on six different occasions. Wilson Out Penn State will be without the services of Charlie Wilson, de fensive end, who injured his hand in scrimmage this week. Either Dave Simon or Andy Si lock will start in place of Wilson. There is a possibility that Ed Hoover, offensive left tackle, may not start against the Comhuskers tomorrow. Hoover was also in jured in an intrasquad scrim mage. If Hoover doesn’t start Jim Barr will probably be at the tackle slot. Tony Rados will start at quar terback for the Lions. Bob Szajna was injured in the Villanova game last weekend and although he is slated to see a lot of action, he will not start the contest. There is also a possibility that Wayne Wolfkeil will start at de fensive safety for the Lions. Wolfkeil has been showing up well on pass defense in practice sessions and he might get the nod over Chan Johnson for the safe ty post. Engle was non-committal on the Lions’ chances against the Comhuskers tomorrow. Nebraska up for Game “I understand we’ll be two touchdown underdogs in Lin coln. But we don’t go to the games to lose. We’re going to give them everything we have. The outcome of the game will depend on how well off they are. I under stand that Bill Glassford wants this game more than anything. Well, that’s the way we feel, too,” Rip said. Engle ' will start an offensive eleven of Co-captain Art Betts and Joe Yukica at ends, Bill Hoc kersmith and either Ed Hoover or Jim Barr at tackles, Len Bartek and Tom Pevarnik at guards, and Jim Dooley at center.
