THJIESpAY, OpiSjppß IS, I^sl The Lion's Lair Well, here it is—the Michigan State game.* This is the - one we’ve been waiting for. The are rated one of the top teams in the country. A win for the Nittariy Lions in this game would put Penh State right back in the football limelight. The Sparthns have one of their best teams in Michigan State if not the best. Undefeated in four contests, the Spartans have beaten Oregon' States Michi gan, Ohio State, and Marquette. Marquette gave Coach Biggie Munn’s squad the scare of its life Saturday when it forced the Spartans to go all ouirin the last quarter to avoid‘.being up set. Michigan State is great, but can be beat en We have no . way of comparing Marquette with Penn State’s team, but we feel sure that if Marquette can give Michigan State a rough time, an inspired Nittany Lion team can wmp the Spartans with a few breaks., ■ , As one fellow put it,."lt's,not wishful thinking ;io say that Penh Stale can beat Michigan State. But it'll take more than wishful thinking to do it." If State is to' beat the Spar-< tans, the Lions are going to have to be at their best. They’re going Fireballs As Leaz , The high-scoring Fireballs unleashed another smooth-running aerial attack "to outclass'the Browns, 39-0, in a second‘round in dependent IM game last night on the IM .field. Howie Lenz scored four times in the six-touchdown melee, and Paul Klembey, added his left-handed touch to’the scoring para'de by passing for scores five times. The score at the half was 12-0. The Fireballs ran roughshod over the rattled Browns in the final half, scoring on aerials of 35, 30, 23, and 25 yards with three extra points. Harry Martin,' Bill Warriner, and Jack Griner all figured in the second-half scor ing. Hazlewood Scores A late second-half 50 yard pass from Charles Russo to Lew Hazle wood materialized into an 82 yard scoring play for the only tally of, the game and the second round win for Dorm 25 over Penn Haven/ The' score was 6-0. The ' winning *'p.lay occurred just inside the final, three-minute mark and busted up the tight defensive ga m e employed by both nines. The only real threat before the quick TD came in the final half when Dorm 23 recovered a loose ball on the Penn Haven 24 but could not capitalize. SPA Wins, 7-6 Sigma Phi Alpha took a full half and then' a part of another to get warmed up *ut still squeezed out . a 7-6 overtime de cision over Sigma, Pi jn a fra ternity football grid contest last night. A two-yard flip from Don Mer cer to Chuck Crispens plus a five-yard offside penalty called against Sigma Pi were the two factors that eliminated the Sig ma Pi’s from further competition and advanced "the SPA club to the third bracket. - Sigma Pi scored first on a loop ing 43 yard, pass from Bill Wal lis to Tom Cook' to take a tem porary-halftime lead, 6-0. Steve Phillip’s 34 yard toss midway in the final half to Mercer in the end zone sent the game into overtime.

Beaver Field is going to be packed with partisan Penn State alumni and students. A ' record crowd is expected to watch the‘Homecoming affair. 7 It's going to take more than a partisan crowd to down the Spartans but it should help the Lions., So far, this week, the students have shown ■ almost no spirit toward Saturday’s contest. It’s about time'things get stirred up around, here. If we’re going to whip Michigan State we’ve got to get a head start on the Spar tans.' Beat Michigan State!

General Manager Charlie Geh ringer, himself a newcomer, con firmed Ruel’s appointment a few hours after former Farm Director Ray Kennedy announced he’ had been “fired.” ,Ruel, once a major league catcher, coach, manager, and as sistant to former Baseball Com missioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler, quit as the Cleveland Indians’ farm director Sunday while rum ors circulated he. would move to Detroit. Owner Walter O, Briggs started the shakeup .July 8 when he fired General Manager Billy Evans as the Tigers were staggering through one of their worst two seasons in 20 years.

IM Cage Entries Today is the last day in which IM basketball entries, both independent and frater nity, will be accepted. All those still to'enter teams, must submit their names to the IM Office in Rec Hall before 4:30, in order to be included in the 1951 cage schedule. Nittany cross country coach Chick Werner made two statements yesterday, which added together, gives every indication that Satur day’s Lion-Michigan State five-mile run will be a terrific, anybody can-win race. First the Lion mentor admitted that on paper the Spartans rated the edge on his harriers, but Chick was quick to add that his team is “improving very fast.” On seasonal records there is lit tle to choose' between' the two. Michigan State had no trouble whipping Purdue 20-41 last week in their opener. The Nittanies del cisively trounced Pitt, 19-36, in their opener, and just last ..week added a second straight victim, Cornell, by a 16-47 count. Easier Spartan Course Wrigley Sees New f Big League WASHINGTON, Oct. 17— (IP)— Phil Wrigley, who owns the Chi cago Cubs and the Los Angeles baseball teams, said today he thinks the Pacific Coast League may become a third major league “in a reasonable length of time.” Wrigley didn’t say how long “a reasonable length of time” mav be. This question was put to him when he appeared before a House judiciary subcommittee studying baseball’s complex organization: “If it (the Pacific Coast Lea gue) were exempted from, the draft, do you think in a reason able length of time it would be come a major league?” Wrigley’s reply: “I do.” A Monopoly The subcommittee is trying to find out whether baseball violates monopoly. The Pacific Coast when Dorm 25 recovered a loose League question has bobbed up at almost every session. The coast league particularly dislikes the draft. This enables the major leagues to claim one player from each club at the end of each season for $lO,OOO. The coast league'in sists that this 'causes it to lose valuable talent at a fraction of its worth. Deserve Chance The other side of the argu ment: if the draft didn’t exist, a minor league club owner could keep players on his club who really deserve a chance .in the majors. 1 . Wrigley said he thinks a com promise can be worked out whereby a player can decide whether or not he wants to be drafted. He also (knocked down another argument that has been present ed against the coast league: their parks are too small. “It’s better,” Wrigley said in rebuttal, “to have a small park filled regularly than a large park that is filled only occasionally.” Looms As Mile Ace Lamont Smith, frosh miler, of Lehighton, Pa., is tabbed for fu ture greatness by his coach; Penn State’s Chick Werner. HeadquartersForCampusClothes OPEN MONDAY & FRIDAY TILL 9 P.M. 'c PAGE SEVEN Any material disadvantage .the Lions may have, should be evened up by the fact that the Spartans will have to run the Nittany course, Back home the Spartans have an almost level four-mile course. They therefore have a slight dis advantage when they come up against the comparatively much more difficult—on a hill basis— Lion course. Coach Werner has named the 12 runners to tangle with the Spartans strong squad. Heading the list is Bill Ashen felter, the fellow who led the Lions to their win over the Spar tans last fall. Bill doesn’t as yet appear up to his year ago time of 25:56. But last Saturday he ran five miles with a 26:48 clocking which was a vast improvement over his opening race of the sea son run in 28 minutes. Three for Three Out to win his third x-country race of his life in as many at tempts, Lamont Smith is cer tainly a threat to Spartan aspira tions. Word from Bill Ash—who should know—is that Smitty was holding back against Cornell. Sat urday should satisfy everyone’s curiousity as to how good the freshman really is. Jack Homer and Red Hollen, the other two winners last Satur day, will be out to repeat against the Spartans. Fifth Lion finisher last week, Dud Foster, has recovered from the cold which 'bothered him against Cornell, so he may be more trouble for Michigan State. Seventh against Cornell, Pete Judd and Pete Sarantopoulos will have to hustle to do as well against the Spartans. On the strength of 10th and 11th place finishes last week, Carl Godshall and frosh John Chillrud vttll go again Saturday. Three new Lion runners have broken into the varsity starting lineup by virtue of good clock ing’s in a junior varsity time trial run last Friday. Winner of that face, frosh Jim Hamill, runnerup Dave Pierson, and third finisher Bob Gehman will get the shot at the Spartans. i*or best looks this semester and [wring your stay on Campus.
