Spartans'

Veteran MSC Team
Battles for Lead
In National Race
When Penn State takes the
field against Michigan State to
morrow afternoon, the Nittany
Lions will be up against a foot
ball team that hasn’t been beaten
in ten straight ball games. The
Spartans’ last defeat came at the
hands of Maryland, 34-7, last Oc
tober.
With 25 lettermen back from a
team which won eight games and
lost only one, Coach Biggie
Munn’s squad is currently bat
tling powerful California and
Tennesssee for number one rating
in the country.
With four wins already in’the
record books, Michigan State fans
are looking to this season as the
one which will see the Spartans
finish undefeated —something
which has evaded the Spartans
since 1913.
Four Wins
So far this season, Munn’s pow
erful offensive squad has posted
wins over Oregon State, 6-0;
Michigan, 25-0; Ohio State, 24-20;
and Marquette, 20-14.
Although Oregon State, Ohio
State, and Marquette gave the
Spartans a rough time before
bowing in defeat, Munn’s grid
ders proved themselves a second
half ball team which can really
roll when the chips are down late
in the game.
Against Marquette last week
end, the Spartans had to come
through with two touchdowns in
the last quarter to turn back the
Hilltoppers, 20-14.
Two All-American Cam didales
Munn has a strong offensive
aggregation built around right
halfback Vince Pisano, a former
New Kensington High School
star; end Bob Carey, an All-
American candidate; tackle Don
Coleman, another All-American
candidate, and quarterback Al
Dorow, the Spartans’ passer.
Pisano was Michigan State’s
third leading ground gainer last
season. Carey, whose twin broth
er Bill plays at the other offens
ive post, is almost a sure pick for

HOW WORKS. Microwaves travel in a straight line. So relay
towers are usually built .on hilltops and spaced > about thirty milesapart. Just as a
runner picks iip the baton from another runner, so each tower picks up microwaves
from its neighbor, and with complex electronic equipment amplifies and focuses
them like a searchlight, then beams them accurately "at the riext tower. And hun
dreds of Long Distance calls ride the beam at the same time.

At Navy Tomorrow
Penn State’s soccer team .will make its fourth straight visit, to
Annapolis when the Lions clash with the Middies tomorrow.
The match is set for 2 p.m. ,
State has paid an annualwisit to Annapolis since 1948, losing that
contest, 4-0. Penn State came out on top.the following season, 3-0 and
Coach Bill Jeffrey’s teams also grabbed next two tilts in 1949 and
1950, 3-0 and 1-0. ‘ : ' : : ’
'Green • Teams'
Both clubs will be fielding rela
tively green clubs this year. The
Nittany Lions have? only four
first-team men from last year’s
aggregation. Navy also is in the
process of rebuilding as it has lost
eight starters from last ' year’s
club which ended with a 6-4 log.
All of Navy’s losses were by a
one-goal margin. Besides the
State loss, the Midshipmen also
dropped, games to Yale, Swarth
more, and Army.
Several new men' will make the
trip to Annapolis, as Jeffrey was
far from impressed by last week’s
performance against Army. State
displayed a mediocre calibre of
ball and some radical changes
might be the order of the day.
Pinezich Heady
State, hopes for a victory re
ceived a shot in the arm yester
day, however, when it was
learned that Jack Pinezich will
probably be ready for Navy.

EAST MEETS WEST
IN NEW RELAY EVENT
You’ve heardofthe Penn Relays. But
have you ever Heard of a relay where the
hurdles are mountains, the average stride
is thirty miles, and the track stretches
coast to coast?
It’s the Bell System’s £/ladio - SRc/tig
and it brings East and West together in
one of the most important events in the
history of communications.
Telephone construction crews have just
recently completed the coast-to-coast
gßadio-gRe/atf system. Today, Long
Distance calls ride on radio microwaves,
beamed through the air from tower to
tower. And, for the first time, television
programs have been flashed from coast
to coast. '
The new system supplements the thou
sands of miles of wire cable that already
tie the nation together. It helps make
America’s vast communications network
even stronger and more flexible. And it
could hardly happen at a better time. The
demands, of defense are heavy and urgent.
