PAGE SIX State Leads Series; Bob Reynolds Out Today’s fifth renewal of the intersectional clash finds State holding the edge, three games to one. Last year State caught hold of another Bobby Reynolds-less -Nebraska and dropped them, 15-7, thus partially revenging Reynold’s “personal” 19-0 win in 1950. In 1949 the Lions won, 22-7, and in 1920 scored, 22-7. : Lion Coach Rip Engle, who looks for a “terrific game” be cause Nebraska has a “well-bal anced, excellent ball club,” says the Nittany lineup will not start with two of the regular work horses and top ground gainers. Both fullback Matt Yanosich and lefthalf Dick Jones were shaken in the bruising West Virginia game, and Rip said he didn’t know how much they would play. With these two pony back mainstays listed for limited duty, Bob Pollard and Buddy Rowell or Tony Frey will handle their spots. Pollard, a brilliant long run specialist last year, will be at fullback where he has been running hard all year. Rowell or Frey will be at lefthalf. Masterminding the winged-T and throwing the passes for State will be Tony Rados. Both ered by a knee injury early in pre-season, Rados came along with a rush and today is tenth in the nation among passers. Ra dos has hit on 38 of 73 tosses and has fired five touchdown passes. On the receiving end of Rados’ throws, State packs a fine crop of ends. Joe Yukica and Jess Ar nelle are the offensive starters, and they get fine relief from the defensive terminal standouts, Don Malinak and Dave Simon. Ar nelle, with 16 receptions good for 170 yards, currently ranks 14th in the nation. , With Reynolds gone, Nebraska’s tricky spread formation will be handled by quarterback Johnny Bordogna, a Turtle Creek boy Pigskin Coin Flips . . .

Mountaineer end, is in third place in pass receiving but has a better aver age, having caught 12 passes for 179 yards in only three games. Duke’s Blue Devils replaced West Virginia as leader in rushing defense and pass defense. They also are the stingiest in overall yardage allowed. Individual passing honors changed again this week as South Carolina's Johnny Gram ling threw six strikes in the Gamecock's 33-7 loss to Duke to bring his completion total to 28.

Sports Thru The Lion’s Eye By JAKE HIGHTON Collegian Sports Editor It's human nature to think the sun rises and sets .in your own backyard But honest-to-goodness, the spotlight of the sports world seems to have turned flush on State College. Three crucial matches involving Penn State athletic teams and unbeaten, opponents are on tap for the swarm of alumni who have turned the heart-of the Nittany Valley into a “boom town.” The Lion gridders are matched inierseciionally with one of 'ihe best in the strong Big Seven Conference—unbeaten and untied Nebraska.. State's IC4A champion cross country runners are up against the longest collegiate x-country winning streak—Army. While the only once-scored on soccer team squares off with the always tough Naval Academy. Looking at the biggest game from the point of view of the 30,000 who will overflow Beaver Bowl, two unbeaten offensive teams are likely to put (?n one of those adding-machine contests which have become the Nittany vogue this season. No matter how you look at today's game, you notice the shine which has been removed by the absence of Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds. To be honest about it, Nebraska is automatically pen alized one touchdown and maybe more because Reynolds has a shoulder separation. Although this quarter firmly believes that State is good enough this year to whip a Reynolds' Nebraska, by 4:30 p.m. it may turn out to be a good thing Mr. Touchdown didn't play. / Nebraska has been coming back to its mighty place held in collegiate football during tjie reign of Dana X. Bible between 1929-36. In that era the Cornhuskers nabbed six Missouri Valley Conference titles. Since then, the Huskers have had only three seasons out of the red. The Nebraska grid story during these last three seasons has been: As Reynolds goes, so goes Nebraska. In 1950, Reynolds was a galloping ghost who gained All-American honors by scoring 157 points and the wonderful title of Mr. Touchdown, U.S.A. Diming that dazzling, dizzy sophomore pace of his, Reynolds ran up a new Big Seven record with 1342 yards gained at an average of 6.95 yards per carry. Of his 22 touchdowns that year, 18 were from 10 yards or better. Against Penn State in 1950 Rapid Robert went on 19, 26, and 43 yard errands to the endzone. With Bobby—the master of the stop-and-go, the change-of-pace, and the thinking-ahead running, and his broken field gyrations, how could Nebraska miss a winning record of 6-2-1? But last year. Blazing Bobby wasn't around most of the time because of his shoulder with the result the Nebraska ledger read a dismal, 1-8-1. Bui this year the score-crazy kid, who Glassford splendidly summed up as "not fast, but the fastest corner runner he ever saw." was back in form, scoring three TD's and leading the club in yards gained.' Last week Bobby "got it" and Stale misses a chance to see a real pro. Or will they miss it? Nebraska isn’t all Reynolds as the Huskers found out last week when they pulled the Kansas State game out of the fire with a second half rally—even without the services of- Mr. TD. Nebraska has perhaps- their best balanced team in years, they have a top flight ground offense, they have the fourth best defense of rushes in the nation, they have a tricky spread formation which can wreck havoc with the defense, and—who knows, maybe the Huskers will be wanting to win this one “for the 'Gipper.”’ If Penn State should win. don't be surprised if they do it in the fourth quarter or some later ulcer-producing time. As to the Nittany harriers, they are up against an Army team which owns 15 straight wins. The way this shapes up, Army perhaps has the more seasoned and experienced campaigners. But Penn State has its home course in high favor. Remember what happened to Michigan State powerhouse x-country teams during the last two seasons? In 1950 .they .came to the Nittany Vale with an ace of spades, Warren Druetzler. But the Nittanies put the squeeze on the Spartan and he never took a step past the four-mile mark. Last year the Spartans were hot again and their Captain Jim Kepford was doing wonderfully until—until he hit the crest of the hill at the 4% mark on the tough second hill. Are the Kaydets made of sterner stuff? Maybe. They are usually an awful lot of man, in any sport. However, it has been a long time since anyone has beaten State on its home course. Anyway, if you need rationalization, the winner .doesn’t prove much. Last year Army won the dual meet, but State took the Blue Ribbon in the IC4A’s. Bill Jeffrey's booiers? So far they have kicked almost as many goals in iwo games ’ as a Penn team has scored points in three football games. Of course they are playing the Naval Academy which is trouble itself. Remember that the Middies pasted a 2-2 deadlock on State's slate Jast year. Nevertheless, the feeling here is that the booters may be on their way back to ihe 1950 national championship status. , WELCOME ALUMNI: At the game today you're likely to find yourself uncertain of ihe words to the Penn Stale songs.
