might be termed a game saver.
When Dick Luciani broke loose
in the third quarter from his own

flying leap at him and, just .trip
ped him enough to throw him off
balance. Luciani stayed on his
feet but was off balance enough
that he fell when he started to
run again.
There were a couple of State
men to 'the left and ahead of
him but you can never tell—he
might have gone all the way.
Another TD for West Virginia
could have really spoiled Penn
State's afternoon. .
NFL Contends
TV, Radio Rights
Were Not Denied
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29—(?P)
—The National Football League
today contended it has never de
nied the public opportunity to
see and hear reproduction of pro
fessional football by means of tel
evision and radio.
The NFL, through its attorney,
former Sen. Francis J. Myers,
filed a petition in U.S. district
court requesting dismissal of the
federal anti-trust suit charging
the league with controlling radio
and TV broadcasts, of professional
football games.
A hearing will be held Dec. 17
on the NFL's petition. The gov
ernment specifically charges the
NFL with violating the Sherman
Anti-trust Act by setting up the.
rifles under which league games
can be broadcast over radio and
television—in effect denying ra
dio and TV to certain areas.

Fireballs
Advance
The high-scoring Fireballs eked out a scant 7-0 second round
win over Dorm 25 to advance to the quarterfinals of the IM grid
tourney last night at the IM field. In two previous games, the Fire
balls had racked up a fatal of 71 points, while holding the opposi
tion scoreless.
A keyed-up Dorm 25 defense'plus bitter cold weather accounted
for the IoW-scoring contest. The
game was marred by constant
fumbles and dropped passes.
The lone tally came at the be
ginning of the second half with
Walt Laska, Howie Lenz, and
Chuck Leech figuring in the 70
yard spurt. Laska hit Paul Klem
pay for the extra point.
Pottsville Wins
A triple 24 yard second half
scoring pass gave Pottsville a 6-0
decision over the Air Force last
night and moved it to the quar
ters.
After a scoreless first half,
Pottsville's Bob Pebley threw to
Jim Kandrat who relayed to Tom
Cummings in the end zone for
the only score. The attempted
pass conversion was no good.
Neither nine could assemble a
minor threat the rest of the way,
as the game turned into a punt
ing and fumbling duel.
Leftovers Ousted
The only overtime of the night
found Dorm 8 eliminating the
Leftovers, 1-0, in a second round
Contest.
The winners advanced to the
round of eight by virtue of Ed
Montoro's sweep of the Leftover
left side. The play, coming on the
fourth. play of the six-play over
time series, carried to the enemy
33-yard line. The Leftovers could
not pick up the necessary yardage
on its final play and were ousted
from the single-elimination tour
nament.
In the final game of the all
independent card, Dorm 33 out
classed the Arabs 13-0 on the
merit of the throwing arm of
Dave Zebley. The lanky Zebley
hurled two -TD aerials to Carl
Shaner, one in the dying minutes
of each half.

a 38-yard drive, led by the Zeb
ley-Shaner combination. The ex
tra point was missed.

final Zebley-Shaner score. This
one, coming inside the final two
minutes, covered 17 yards. Zeb

Swim Wins
Ily JOHN SHEPPARD
Delta Upsilon's swimmers con
tinued their undefeated quest for
intramural swim laurels yester
day afternoon at Glennianu puol
as they recorded their second tri
umph of the campaign. In other
activity Acacia and Alpha Chi
Sigma also posted victories.
The Delta Upsilon swimmers
found the sailing somewhat
smooth as they took four of the
five events in turning back Phi
Gamma Delta, 28-13. Jerry Mau
rey continued his good swimming
as he won the 60 yard freestyle
event for DU with a 36.7 second
timing.
' Maurey Wins Diving
The DU attack stalled momen
tarily when Alpha Chi Rho cop
ped the backstroke. However, the
DUs came back strong, taking
the breaststroke with Bill Winter
burn leading the swim. Leading
15-12, Maurey displayed some
near-faultless diving to clinch the
win for his teammates. After the
stocky athlete accomplished this
feat, the DU 120 yard freestyle
relay combine easily stroked its
way to victory for the final - tally.
A surprisingly strong Acacia
team managed to outswim pre
vious one-time winner Kapp a
Delta Rho, 24-19. Bill Kilmer,
Acacia performer, walked away
with individual honors as he won
the 60 yard breaststroke and div
ing events. Although Acacia lost
the 120 yard relay event, the eight
points garnered by Kilmer in the
diving was sufficient to proclaim
them victors.
Acacia Shows Promise
In registering their upset tri
umph, the Acacia mermen gave
evidence of being one of the top
contenders for this season's title.
All of their races were close, and
the winners in many instances
were determined by a hand.
In the last meet of the evening,
Alpha Chi Sigma's natators
squeezed by Beta Sigma Rho, 21-
19. Action was fast and furious
as the lead changed hands three
times. Jerry Kotzen won the 60
yard freestyle event for BSR with

23, Dick Luciani went over left
tackle for 11 yards to the 12.
Carl Norman bucked to the sev

from there on the next play.
Shockey- Van Horn's kick was
good and West Virginia took a
7-0 lead with less than seven
minutes gone in the game.
State did not get into the scor
ing column until the final min
utes of the first half.
Joe Shumock intercepted a Mc-
Inerney pass on the State 42
and carried it back to the West

from the 43 to the 25. Yanosich

Yanosich finally put th e ball
over. Bill Leonard's kick wa s
wide and the Lions trailed, 7-6.
During the third quarter, the
two tearhs battled between the
20 yard lines with neither team
getting into scoring position.
Shortly after the last quarter
got under way, State took pos
session of the ball on the West
Virginia 44 after Luciani ha d
kicked out from the 18. On the
first play, Tony Rados passed to
Joe Yukica for 14 yards to the
30. Shattuck broke outside right
tackle for 23 yards to the West
Virginia seven yard line. Three
smashes at the stubborn line by
Shattuck moved the ball to the
one foot line. On fourth down,
Rados crossed up the Mountain
eer defense by sending Shattuck
over right end for the score. This
time Leonard's kick was good and
State led 13-7.
West Virginia threatened in the
final seconds when Mclnereny
started to heave passes in an at
tempt to beat the clock. Th e
Mountaineers moved to State's
44 before time ran out on them.
