time before a partisan Penn State
crowd are co-captains Art Betts
and Len Shepard, Pat McPoland,
Andy Silock, Charlie Wilson,
Pete Twaddle, Dick Cripps, Jim
Barr, Ed Hoover, Tom Pevarnik,
Len Bartek, John Podrasky, Joe

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.

Betas were never in trouble as
they outswam Sigma Chi, 28-13.

comeback, taking first and sec

backstroke race. Dave Douglass
and Frank Rich accomplished the
feat.
With the score 17-10 in the
Betas favor, Cronstedt clinched
the victory with his graceful dis
play of dives by taking the event.

Alpha Tau Omega is the new intramural fraternity football
champion 'due •to an impressive, hard-fought 7-0 victory over 1949
and 1950 champions Sigma Nu last night. The Fireballs defeated
the Dragons, '6-0, to become the independent titlists.
• Sigina Nu, which had not lost a game since the fall of 1948,
realized immediately that it was in for a tough \night as the ATO
team stopped its very first scoring effort.
After Sigma Nu-kicked off to open the game, ATO punted to
the Sigma Nu 41,•but the ball was returned to the ATO 25, yard line.
Owen Wilkinson passed to Sam Lemon on the;ATO 11, but here the
defending champs were halted.
' *Twice more in the first half the losers drove deep into ATO
territory, once to the 36 and the other time to the 17. On the latter
drive, John McCall ended the threat with a' leaping interception of a
pass on his eight yard line.
ATO, early in the second half, punted to the Sigma Nu 43 .yard
line and a•return pass was intercepted again by McCall and'he raced
all the way to the Sigma Nu 14. On the second play, McCall passed
to Don Vosel in the end zone for a touchdown. On the next play, Bart
Thiess was on the receiving end of a McCall pass for the point that
gave ATO its 7-0 lead.
Still trying hard to save its title, Sigma Nu, later in the half, got
a chance to even things. Wilkinson took a punt on his own 27, passed
it to Mike Kirslfner, and then took a return flip all the way to the
ATO 10. Once again, Alpha Tau Omega rose to the occasion and
batted Wilkinson's fourth down pass to the ground and become the
new fraternity champions.
T he Fireballs wrapped up a spectaclar season by outclassing the
Dragons in the independent championship game, 6-0.
Their winning score came in the first half when the Dragons'
Frank Schwab punted from his own 31 to the Fireballs' 34 yard line
and the ball was returned all the way for a touchdown on one of 'the
Fireballs' specialties. It was a four-man return that went from Howie
Lenz to Paul Klempay to Bill Warrender to Harry Martin who ran
the final 26 yards. The pass for the extra ipoi r nt was knocked down.
Klempay, in the second half intercepted a pass on the Dragons'
27, but after getting to the 14, the Fireballs could go no farther. Lenz
made a great try on a fourth down pass, but failed to hold it in the
end zone.
Klempay's running and three important interceptions were
instrumental in the win.
