WEIR P S / Aki , PC T P I3 P I 31, 1951 Between the Lions Just a week ago, Penn State fqotball followers were greatly enthused about the team's chances the rest of the season after its good 'showing against Michigan State. West Virginia was the next foe, and no one even thought twice about that one—the hapless Mountaineers would be crushed. Prudue wasn't • up to expectations, and Syracuse was having a rough time started, because their first two I quarterbacks had broken legs. I 'Rutgers had a good start this season, but Jim Monaghan, ' one )f the best run ners in' the Ear was injured al would miss Se eral games. Pi .w as' struggli, along lookij for its first v' tory. Now, one sho week • later, ti situation seems altered partly because of the .pes simism of human nature, th e Lions showing against West Vir ginia, and the outcome of Sat urday's games. True, Coach Rip Engle's grid ders probably played their worst game, of the year Saturday, but this seemed only natural consid ering the' team - had been up for the big -Spartan game and also was looking forward to the com ing Purdue contest. It's just lucky they had the letdown ,for this game. It would have been disastrous any. other Saturday. Purdue paced by quarter back Dale Samuels and defen sive end Leo Sugar will prob ably be rated a favorite over the Lions. Samuels, a sopho more 44nsatiori 'last season, threw ten touchdown passes that scored in seven of nine games. His aerials gained 1,- 069 yards for the Boilermakers. The passer's pinpoint comple tions and deceptive ball-hand ling were important factors in the upset of Notre Dame, which snapped the Irish 39 game un beaten streak. Syracuse showed some long awaited power as they blasted Fordham, 33-20. The Orangemen unveiled a new quarterback, Avatus Stone, and he threw for three TD's. Rutgers was idle but will swing back to action this week. Monaghan should be ready for the State game, and his break away ability makes hi m ever dangerous. The' Panthers continued their losing ways against Michigan State but showed a scoring punch as Bob Bestwick set four Pitt passing records. Pitt's 26 points were the most scored on Michi gan State this season. Any team that has a good passer will be a threat to the Lions, as pass de fense statistics show. Sunday School Pitcher Dies PORTSMOUTH, . N.H., Oct 30 —(/P)—Walter S. Woods, 75, "Sun day school pitcher" of the big leagues, died here today.

Cokes, McKee Hall Mermen Enter Finals Clairton Cokes,' last year's independent 'IM swimming champs, stroked their way into the finals for the second straight year yesterday afternoon at the Glennland pool when they recorded their second • triumph without any difficulty. McKee Hall won by a forfeit. As a result of last night's victories, both teams will meet for the 1951 independent swim title Nov. 12 In clinching their semi-final engagement, the Cokes made a clean sweep of all first and sec ond places to down a weak Dorm 44 squad, 35-4. For the second time in the past week the Cokes' 120 yard relay combination of John Merges, Seymour Wexler, Dave Anderson, and Dick Mertz came within a shade -of breaking last season's 1:00.2 record which Merges and Wexler were instrumental in setting. Last week the same group stro k e d the course in 1:01.3 seconds. They swam a 1:01.6 clocking last night. Getting off to a fast start, -team captain Merges covered 'the 60 yard freestyle distance in 33.9 seconds. Teammate Mertz fin ished a close second.

After trailing teammate Bill Lee at the end of the first lap, Harris managed to spurt ahead the final yards to beat Lee l by a hand. Harris then came back to add to his previous feat, 'swimming a 57.2 timing for the 60 yard breast stroke. Incidentally, in his four years of independent swimming, Harris has performed with chain pionship 'teams, and, the way his team swam last night, he may well accomplish the feat once again. McKee Hall's forfeit over the Sailfish was the first of the sea son. As a result, the McKee mer men tuned up for their cham pionship event next week, From the celebrated COSMOPOLITAN serial!
