Syracuse Favored In celebrating its 250th home contest, Coach Rip Engle's team will be trying for its fourth .win of the season and its 212th vic tory on home soil since football was inaugurated at Penn State in 1887. During the 64 years the sport has been played in the Nit tany Vale the Lions have lost only 27 home contests. The game could turn out to be a real crowd pleaser. The two teams are evenly matched with the oddsmakers giving Syracuse the nod by a mere point. Good Runners Varied Attack Comparing statistics, Syracuse still gets a slight edge. In six games the Orange has been able to score 132 points to State's 103. Syracuse has had 96 points scored against it while the Lions have allowed 128. However, State holds the edge in yardage gained, 1659, to Syracuse's 1071. Reports from Syracuse say that the Orangemen have been tink ering with the single-wing dur ing their week layoff. Already they have rim plays from the wing -T, their basic formation, and the double-wing. Penn State fans may see all of them tomor row. Good Runners *Like Boston U. and Purdue, Syracuse's of f ens e is centered around the quarterback position, from where the Orange's triple threat Avatus Stone operates. A defensive back last year, Stone has taken over the quarterback spot with the graduation of Ber nie Custis and has developed into a top-flight signal-caller. Stone can ru n and pass and ranks among the country's best punt ers. In six contests, Stone and John Donati are averaging 40.7 yards per boot. Coach Ben Swartzwalder has a wealth of hard running backs in Bill Haskins, John Colceri, Bob Young, Ed Dobrowolski, Donati. and Bob Leberman. Has kins is the fleet-footed halfback who broke loose on a long TD jaunt against the Lions last sea son in Syracuse. Defensively, Syracuse has a strong ball club, holding their si x opponents tO a combined yardage of 766 yards. Swartz walder's line was strengthened this year when Bob Fleck and Jim George moved up from last year's freshman squad. .Fleck stands six feet two inches and weighs in at 222 pounds. George weighs in at 215 and also stands six feet two inches.
