Dean McCoy first presented the
suggestions at a combined meet
ing of All-College Cabinet and
the Athletic Association held last
Sunday.
' Not Reserved in Bloc
The suggestions were brought
before the Mineral Industries
School Coiincil Monday night and
before the Women's. Student Gov
ernment Association, Wednesday.
Both groups tabled the discussion
of the suggestions for further con
sideration.
The suggestion to reserve seats
at sports events. in Rec Hall in
cludes the idea for using these
seats for faculty, graduates, and
alumni. The seats would be re
served, not in a bloc, but in scat
tered areas around the hall. No
details on how the seats would be
saved were given. •
New AA Book Plan
The 300 seats would be divided
in half, 150 of them being given
complimentarily at each game
and the rest-sold on a'first come--
first served basis, with faculty
first, alumni second, and gradu
ates third.
The second suggestion asked
that the 'athletic books given to
students be divided into two
groups with each group a differ
ent - color. Thii individual-stu
dents would attend every other
game, leavino more seats at each
game.
John Laubach, All-College pres
ident, pointed out that the ideas
expressed in the suggestions are
as yet embryonic and would not
be acted upon until many more
campus groups look into the ideas
more fully.
Action on the suggestions in
All-College Cabinet is no t ex
pected until November, Laubach
said.

Brooks Take Series Lead
As Berra's Error Decides
•
- NEW YORK (W)—Yogi Berra pulled a horrendous blunder by
letting two Brooklyn runs stream home on a passed ball while the
dazed catcher stood by in the ninth inning yesterday. As a result
the Dodgers took the. World Series lead, two games to one, with a
.53 • victory over the New York • Yankees on Preacher Roe's gritty
six-hit pitching..
Berra's glaring error, boosting
a 3-2 Dodger lead to 5-2 at the
time, became an agonizing night
mare when Johnny Mize deliv
ered a pinch-hit homer in the
bottom of the ninth that would
have tied the score.
There were men on second and
third, as the result •of a double
steal following back-to-back 'sin-
gles by Peewee Reese and Jackie
Robinson, when relief pitcher
Tom Gorman threw an inside 2-2
pitch to Andy Pafko.
The ball glanced off Berra's left
hand and rolled to the screen
near the Brooklyn dugout, about
75 feet from the plate.
Berra whirled around and then
stopped .as the .ball ..rolled to the

To Give State
Tough Contest
By JAKE HIGHTON
Penn State's unbeaten but
once-tied football team goes
after 'its second win of the
season this afternoon against
a definitely upset- minded
William and Mary eleven.
Kickoff for State's third straight
Beaver Field, contest is 1:30 p.m.
Clear skies are predicted for
W&M's first visit to Beaver Field
aince 1922 when the Lions won,
27-7, in the only previous meeting
of the two schools.
Tough Game
The Indians own a 1-1 record
on the season having dropped
Virginia Military Institute 34-12
and losing last week to Wake
Forest, 28-21. However, the In
dians outplayed, out first-downed,
out rushed and out passed the
Deacons— a team which ranked
first in th e nation defensively
last year.
Coach Rip Engle expects a
"tough game" from a W&M team
which will be led by one of the
nation's outstanding backfield
performers, Ed "Meadows" Mio
dusowski. Engle said yesterday
that his Lions are in "excellent
spirits" and "not overconfident"
because they tied Purdue, 20-20,
last 'week. The 4952 Lions-are not
the Prima Donna type ballclub.
High-Powered Offensive
The last time W&M ventured
into the Keystone State—last year
to play Penn—it stunningly up
set the Red and Blue. 20-12, to
enhance its excellent 7-3 record.
This year the Indians have the
same kind of goods to administer
another upset. The high-powered
Indian offense has rolled up 829
yards in two games this season
-412 against VMI and 417 against
Wake Forest.
Heading a crew of some of the
hardest hitting backs in the South
is brilliant All - Southern Mea
dows who is currently third in
the nation in total offense. No
wonder! Against Wake Forest last
week he personally picked up
285 yards on the ground and
through the air-40 more. yards
than the entire Deacon team.
Meadows, quarterback behind
the tricky W&M split T, can be
expected to give Nittany fans the
same cho k e d feeling they got
every time Purdue's Dale Samuels
held the ball last week. The
W&M bellwethext operates the
split-T optionals to perfection
with handoffs, passes or "keeps."
Helping Meadows out is a crack
backfield tabbed as the "Lone
some Foursome." Four tough run
ners have run every W&M play
except one this season. Righthalf
Bruce Sturgess owns a 7.4 aver
age per try, fullback Roger Bow
man owns a 8.3 average, and left
half Tom Koller is the "worst"
of the four quartet with a 2.7
average.
