This is Penn State's seventh game of the season and the Lions 'haven't lost an odd-numbered game yet. . However, it's going to take• more than superstition to whip the Orange this year. With a number of men back from last year's squad, Coach Ben - Schwartzwalder was probably the most optimistic coach in the East before the season be gan and his squad was Picked as one of the top independent en tries, The only position at which Syracuse was weak was at the quarterback slot. where the grad uated Bernie Custis left a big gap. Bruce Yan cey and Pat Stark, two good looking sopho - mores up from the freshman squad, for a while,. appeared to have eased Sch.. _'s worries. But when Yancey and Stark both suffered broken legs, the Orange coach had to search for another signal-caller and in the meantime, Syracuse's grid fortunes began' to dip. Finally, Avatus Stone got the call. And now that last' year's defensive star has begun to get the swing of things, the Orange team is beginning to live up to their pre-season press notices. Since Stone has become Syra cuse's passer,, the Orange has Tennessee Vols Remain Nation's Top Grid Team NEW YORK, Nov. .6 OP) Powerful Tennessee is the na tion's No. 1 college football team for the third straight week, but the spotlight will shine on sev eral other ranking powers this week.

A good runner, Stone is effective in loosening the defenie with the optional run-or-pass play. Saturday's contest is an im portant one for the Lions if they are to finish the season with as good a record as last year. A loss here would mean they would have to win their next two' con tests, both on the road, to give them as many victories as last season. To better last year's mark, the Lions will have to win their remaining three contests. The Pitt game this year should be a classic. The Panthers haven't won a game against top compe tition with West Virginia the only relief in sight. In the Panthers' way of thinking, what could be sweeter than a win over Penn State.

The two teams meet tonight at 7 p.m. for the independent crown. Sigma Nu and #TO will vie for the frat ernity championship at 7:45. The score was no indication of how close the game actually was in the Dragon-Pottsville contest. The Dragons were constantly on the move, paced by the consis tant right arm of Bill Body. The only score came late in the - first half when Body uncorked a 38 yarder to Doug Ccefiell. This cli maxed a 61 yard sustained push. Laska Stars The extra-point attempt was batted down. Pottsville could not muster up*even a minor threat in the initial half. The final per iod was scoreless. The Dragons, although threatening consistently, could not capitalize. The game ended with the winners inside the enemy ten-yard line. The Fireballs won its right to meet the Dragons in the inde pendent finals also on the throw ing arm of a right-handed passer. The victors had to make one pass play pay off, although it com pletely dominated play in its 6-0 triumph over the Lords. Many Interceptions Walt Laska's four-yard pitch to Paul Klempey midway in the first period was the only score of the game. The Fireballs, while accumulating 95 points, have yet to be scored upon in five games. Neither team put up a serious threat in the final half, as inter cepted passes occurred freely and slowed the tempo of the game to a standstill.
