NOVEMBER Z 7, 1951 The Lion's Lair Rip Engle's gridders got some consolation out of their loss to the Pitt Panthers Saturday--they won't have to face Bob Bestwick and Chris Warriner again. • The combination of Bestwick to Warriner is as good a corn , bination as we've seen 'this year with the exception of Harry Ag ganis to Bob Capuano. Agganis, by the way, ha s • been named to the NEA All- Amerlican first team. Not as an offensive quarterback but as a defensive halfback. The Boston U. 'triple threat is considered one of the greatest all-around football players in the country. The play of freshman Jesse Ar nelle in Saturday's contest gave State fans something to cheer about. Arnelle had seen very little offensive .'.• action , up until the Pitt but after his formance against the Panthers it looks like' he'll be a double duty 4?f.,•:6: . iki•*•ifr;.•' man next year. He and - Bobby Szaj n a could team up as a N •• nice passing combination. We don't want to take any thing away from the Panthers but we'll have do give a good deal of the credit for their vic tory Saturday to the men from Pitt who sat in on the State games prior do Saturday—the scouts. They did a beautiful 'job of bottling up the Lions' running attack. That double fake trap play which Bobby Pollard gained so much ground on this year just couldn't be worked. The Pan- Tennessee Tightens No. 1 Team Position NEW YORK, Nov. 26—(W)—Powerful Tennessee rolled up the -largest vote of the season today in strengthening its hold on the No. 1 position in the Associated Press football poll. The volunteers were so impressive in smashing Kentucky, 28-0, Saturday that they received first place on 92 of the 168 ballots cast by sports writers and broadcasters across the nation. Michigan State won convinc ingly over Colorado, 45-7, but just managed to protect its No. 2 position from ' fast-rising Mary land, which closed a perfect nine game season with a 54-7 rout of West Virginia. Illinois Climbs The Terrapins, who meet Ten nessee in'the Sugar Bowl Jan. 1, moved into third place, replac ing Stanford, which plunged to eighth as the result of a 20-7 loss to California. Other main changes in the semi-final rankings of c o 11 eg e teams saw Illinois, Stanford's foe in the Rose Bowl, climb from sixth to fourth and Kentucky plummet from ninth to 17th. The Wildcats' place in the se le& top ten was taken -by re surgent Oklahoma, which made Nebraska its sixth straight vic tim, 27-0. The Sooners moved into tenth place, shoving Baylor up a notch. 20th Straight Here's how the first ten are ar ranged this week: Tennessee, Michigan State, Maryland, Illi nois, Princeton, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Stanford, Baylor, and Oklahoma. Last week's lineup went like ythis: Tennessee, Michigan State, Stanford, Maryland, Princeton, Illinois, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Kenutcky, and Baylor. Gen. Bo b Neylands' sharp blocking Vols will be seeking their 20th straight victory next Saturday, against' Vanderbilt. Princeton Unbeaten Three other elevens besides Tennessee haire regular season games remaining before swinging into bowl activity. Georgia Tech plays Georgia in a bitter state rivalry. Baylor, still shooting for the Southwest Conference title, t angles with Rice. Oklahoma clashes with Oklahoma A&M. All are Saturday games. Princeton 'closed out its regular season with a 13-0 triumph over Dartmouth and held firm to the No. 5 position. Georgia Tech walloped David son, 34-7. By ERNIE MOORE Collegian Sports Editor thers had two men waiting for him everytime he started into the line. The State offensive, line were able to open up holes in the Pitt line but the Panther backers up would plug' them just as they would open. The offensive for ward wall was also giving Sza jna plenty of pass protection. State's defensive line played a great game, especially during the third quarter when the Panthers spent the entire period in Lion territory. Pitt almost put the game on ice in the third period when Paul Blanda attempted a field; goal. Kicking from the 30 yard line, Blanda's placement just missed splitting the ,uprights. The Panthers have a great back playing defensive ball this year in Henry "Model T" Ford. The speedy Pitt' safetyman did a fine job of punt returning and set up the Panthers first score with a 30 yard return. He will probably take over at quarterback when Bestwick graduates. The crowd of 20,145 was dis appointing even though it was a bit chilly. The annual Pitt- State classic which is supposed to be the district's "big game" has drawn only a little better than 27,000 in the past two con tests. The weather was really bad last year. Too bad the game can't be played earlier on a nice sunny day. Tickets Still Plentiful for Army-Navy Tilt PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26—(A') —Believe it or not, tickets for the Army-Navy football game here Saturday are going begging. This •is brobably the first time in the history of the traditional game-52nd in the series—be tween the two academies that there has been such a surplus - of tickets five days before the game. Brokers, who in previous years charged as much as $135 for a pair of midfield seats, are offer ing free transportation to the 103,000-seat Municipal Stadium with every pair of ducats pur chased. Fans can get all the tickets they want merely by mailing $6 for each one to the West Toint Ath: , letic Association office. What is the cause for the apathy toward football's greatest classic? Ticket brokers and city officials who help run the game . for the service academies offered several reasons: 1. The cribbing scandal at Army which wrecked the Cadets' powerful football squad. The pub lic knows the Army's once-feared team isn't even a shadow of the team Coach Earl (Red) Blaik used to bring down from Bear Moun tain. The scandal has soured many who would consider the Army- Navy game the highlight of the football season. 2. The public has been hit by increased taxes and • the higher cast of living., People just don't feel like digging down for the money, especially when they can see the game, free on television. 3. Sports fans have become more discriminating in their pur chase of tickets for events. They .save the sports dollar for, what they think will be the best value. TA! DAILY cgriLMM, STATE CO L LEGE ; PENNS..Y.LV2VITA INS Selects Ted Shattuck For AIILEast Grid Team Gridders- (Continue from page six) click, quarterback Bob Szajna turned in desparation to the air lanes and with help from Tony Rados was able to lead State to its only score. • Sznaja and Rados tthrew 26 passes, the most thrown by State all year. Szajna com pleted 10 of 22 while Rados hit on two of four. The 12' completions were good for 136 yards. Panthers Score Bestwick, on the other hand, threw only 17 times but completed ten for 139 yards. On the ground, the Panthers picked up 139 yards. ,For almost the, entire first half, State battled the Pittsburghers to a scoreless deadlock, turning back two Pitt drives deep into Lion territory. But with just 20 sec onds left in the half, Bestwick found Warriner in the 'open. in front of the Penn' State goal and threw a perfect strike from the State 32 yard line for a touch down. Henry "Model T" Ford set up the score with a 30 yard run back of Art Betts' punt. Paul Blanda kicked the extra point and Pitt went to the dressing room with a 7-0 lead. Lions Hold The entire third period was spent in Penn State territory, with the Lions fighting to defend their goal. Soon after the period got underway, Pitt recovered Shat tuck's fumble on the State 47 yard line. With Bob Reynolds and Paul Campbell carrying the mail, the Panthers moved to .the Lion four yard line before the defense stiffened. A bad- punt gave Pitt the ball again on the 17 yard line but Davie Simon caught Bestwick for a 14 yard loss on second down and the Lions were able to hold again. An exchange of kicks just after the fourth- quarter started gave State the ball on its own 22 and with Rados quarterbacking, the Lions began to come alive. 4 Ra dos to• Buddy Rowell pass was good for 11. Pollard picked up two over right tackle. Thin Rados hit Arnelle with a 31 yard toss to the Pitt 34. Szajna then replaced Rados who had received - d. cut on the mouth, Chess Scores On the second play Szajna tossed to Arnelle for 19 yards and another first down on the Pitt 15. Two plays netted a one yard loss before Sznaja found Arnelle in the open again for seven.; On fourth down and three to go for a first down, the Lion quarterback tossed a nine yard pass to Arnelle in the end zone for the touchdown. Bill Leonard's kick was good and the score was deadlocked 7-7. However ; it took Pitt only 12 plays to jump back in the lead. The Panthers moved 71 yards after the kickoff for the winning TD. Paul Chess turned right end from the 17 for the clincher. Blan da's extra point try was wide. Interception Hurts The key play in the game came on the third play of the series. It was third down and one to go for a first down when Bestwick went back to pass. A State lineman broke in fast and jumped on him but the Pitt quarterback broke away, went to his left, reversed his field and went for an 11 yard gain and a first down. Had Best wick been tackled for a loss, the Panthers would have been forced to kick. As it was, they went on to score. Szajna looked as, if he might duplicate his passing performance of a few minutes previous when he hit on three to move the ball to the Pitt 37 yard line.
