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

We don't want to take any

deal of the credit for their vic

Pitt who sat in on the State

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

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.

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. But Rey

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26—(lP)—
Ousted Friday as manager• of the
St. Louis Cardinals, Marty Mar
ion was wavering today between
offers made him by the Boston
Braves and St. Louis Browns.
Both the Braves an Browns
desperately need a shortstop, and
both clubs were understood to
have made ' combination player
coach bids to Marion, with the
Braves dangling a $lO,OOO bonus
for signing.
"I'm being offered more than I
am worth, but it is a great oppor
tunity, and I'm going to take my
time and figure out things care
fully," Marion said after talking
by telephone today with John
Quinn, general manager of the
Braves.
Marion said two other National
League clubs have made bids for
his services. He refused to iden
