Four Members
0f1926 Team
To Be Honored
Among the alumni at the game
today will be ten former football
lettermen, guests of the College.
Included are four members of
the 1926 team, one of five teams
being honored this year.
The four players from the 1926
squad are Harold Dangerfield,
Kenneth Weston, William Prit
chard, and John Curtin.
The ’26 team finished with a
5-4 seasonal record. Coach Hugo
Bezdek’s gridders opened with
successive victories over Susque
hanna, Lebanon Valley, and Mari
etta.
Susquehanna was walloped 82-
0, and Lebanon Valley, 35-0.
Pritchard, veteran fullback, was
outstanding for the victors.
On Dad’s Day, Marietta bowed
to Bezdek’s men, 48-6. The Lions’
winning streak was halted by
Knute Rockne’s great Notre Dame
eleven, 28-0.,
Syracuse spoiled the Lions’
Alumni Day by dumping the
home team 10-0 before a parti
san crowd of 15,000. Dinger Dan
gerfield starred for State.
' Bezdek’s men then got back
on the winning trail with a 20-12
win over George Washington. Be
fore one of the largest crowds in
Franklin Field history, Pennsyl
vania eked out a 3-0 victory over
the Lions.
The following Saturday Penn
State defeated Bucknell, 9-0. The
Lions scored a touchdown and- a
field goal. Bill Pritchard again
starred for the winners.
The ’26 team ended the season
by battling Pitt at Pitt Stadium
in the annual Thanksgiving Day
game. Jock Sutherland’s grid ma
chine ground out a convincing
24-6 win. The Lions outplayed
their .bigger opponents for three
quarters, but Pitt rallied to score
17 points in the final quarter.
(Continued from page one) j
Penn State will run from its wing-T formation while the flashy
Spartans’ v offense will stem from three variations of the T, the
single wing, and the double wiri'g;
Both teams are primed for today’s contest. The Lions would like
nothing better than to avenge the 19-16 defeat the Spartans hung
on them in the 1946 Homecoming affair. And a win over Michigan
State today would raise Penn State’s football stock to lofty heights
Narrow Victory
The Spartarts, wi 11
go into today’s game remember
ing the narrow victory it earned
over an underdog Marquette
tdam last Saturday. Munn’s team
is looking for its first undefeated
season since 1931 and the Spar
tans will be out to ,keep their
unblemished record intact this
afternoon against the Lions.
A strong offensive squad, in
their four games the Spartans
have rolled up a net yardage of
1302 yards as against 801 for
their three opponents.
Tough Running Attack
Although the Lions will face
a good passer in A 1 Dorow, their
big problem will be to stop the
MS running attack. Besides his
regular first team backfield, Munn
has his “pony backfield” to thrqw
against the Lions.
Halfback Vince Pisano and
fullback Wayne Benson will be
the men the Lions will have to
stop when the regular backfield
is playing. Billy Wells and Le-
Roy Bolden are the biggest
threats in the ‘pony backfield.’
Two All-America candidates
grace tim Spartan \ forward wall
in Captam-end Bob Carey and
tackle Don Coleman. Carey
weighs in at 215 and stands six
feet five inches tall. Coleman
weighs only 185 but is considered
one of the best line blockers in
the nation.
Top Scorers
The bulk of the Penn State of
fensive is expected to fall' upon
the shoulders of halfback Ted
Shattuck, the Lions’ leading
groundgainer; and fullback Pete
Shopa, a sophomore who will re
place the injured Paul Anders
in the starting backfield. Shat
tuck and Shopa are currently
tied for the Lions’ individual
scoring lead with 24 points apiece.
Coach Rip Engle will start an
offensive team of Co-captain Art
Betts and Joe Yukica at ends,
Ed Hoover and Bill Hockersmith
at tackles, Len Bartek and Tom
Pevamik at guards, Jim Dooley
at center, Bobby Szajna at quar
terback, Shattuck at halfback,
Bob Pollard at wingback, and
Shopa at fullback. '
Lion Defense
Defensively, the Lions will
line up with,Pat McPoland and
either Dave Simon or Charlie
Wilson at ends, Stew Scheetz
and Dick Cripps at tackles, Don
Barney, at guard, Co-captain Len
Shephard, Joe Shumock, and Joe
Gratson at the linebacking posts,
Pollard and Bill Leonard at half
backs, and Chan Johnson at
safety.
Betts will dp the punting and
Leonard will kick the placements.
The Spartans will probably
start offensively with Bob and
Bill Carey at ends, Coleman and
Marv McFadden at tackles, Dean
Garner and Frank Kapral at
guards, Jim Creamer at center,
Dorow at quarterback, Don Mc-
Auliffe at left halfback, Pisano
at right half, and Benson at full
back.
Roessler Wins
X-Country Trial
Bob Roessler captured a jun
ior varsity intra-squad cross
country time trial- yesterday af
ternoon on the golf course with
out a runner close to‘him at the
finish.
Roessler covered the .five
miles in 27:24 to outdistance the
field by more than 200 yards.
John Davidson finished a dis
tant second place in 28:02..
Sophomore Dick Grice nudged
frosh Alan Terrill by a stride to
take third place in 28:28. Terrill
stopped the watch at 28:28.1.
Stan Lindner came home fifth
in 28:42 followed by freshman
Tom Demboski. Dembo ran
28:30 in sixth place.

Cross-Country Team
Will Host Spartans
Two of the nation's habitual titans of cross country running,
Penn State and Michigan State, clash m 3, dual meet which
often tips off the outcome of future title races;
The "race will begin on Beaver Field at 1:3.0 p.m. just after the
start of the football game, run over the golf course, and finished on
the track.
I F °r the Lions, unbeaten in two starts this fall and eight dual
meets since the Spartans last'
turned the trick in 1949, this is
the first time their 1950 title of
national champions will be ser
iously disputed,
Beal .Purdue
The Spartans trounced Purdue
in their opener last .Saturday,
20-41, and the Lions have dumped
Pitt, 19-36, and Cornell, 16-47 in
two meets.
Last year the Lions trounced
the Spartans 19-43 but have since
lost the cream of a national
championship team. Coach Wer
ner has lost such stalwarts as
Bob Freebairn, Don Ashenfelter,
Bill Gordon, A 1 Porto and Jack
St. Clair.
Karl Schlademan’s harrier team
suffered too with the- loss of
Warren Druetzler, one of the best
collegiate runners in the country,
and Don Makielski.
Evenly Matched
Today’s race finds the two
teams evenly matched man for
man. Against the Lion’s seasoned
campaigner, Bill Ashenfelter, the
Spartans can place Captain Jim
Kepford.
To even accounts for the Lions’
amazing freshman Lamont Smith,
who has not been beaten in the
only two x-country races of his
life, MSC has a frosh sensation
of its own. He is Jim Arnold, who
ran right beside Kepford, best
Spartan runner, last Saturday.
Smitty won the Pitt meet and
tied for first in the Cornell race.
Fine Soph Prospect
Still squaring off, Perm State
has a really fine soph in Red
Hollen to stack up against- the
Spartan sophomore Ron Barr. Red
finished second against Pitt and
tied for first in the Cornell meet.
Barr too, stayed with Kepford
last week.
Lion Captain Dud Foster hasn’t
reached his 1950 form yet but he
may be' due in the race today.
