Quakers Bow to
As Defense Unit
Disappointed Penn rooters
and writers—were heard to mur
mur Saturday night following
Penn State's .thrilling 14-7 fifth
victory, gained with less than
four minutes left to play, that
the Lions were lucky.
And they were lucky. Lucky
to have an outstanding defensive
unit which repeatedly stopped
Penn scoring -threats at crucial
points and which was directly
responsible for both Nitta n y
touchdowns.
Otherwise, the Quakers, who
played their best game of the
season both offensively and de
fensively; had just as many op
portunities as did the Lions. The
difference, h o, w e v e r, was that
Penn didn't have the advantage
of four brilliant defenders, back
erup Pete Schoderbek and Sam
Green, -and tackles Stew Scheetz
and Rosey Grier.
However, there were many
times throughout the sunny but
hazy , afternoon when• the large
Nittany rootery - among the 67,000
Spectators' feared defeat at the ;
hands of a Penn team which won
all honors except the one which
counts. '

soaking rain," he said.

Distributions
A suggestion to the department
of housing for the distribution of
bed sheets in the afternoon to
West Dorm area students passed
the West Dorm Council last night.
The suggestion, made by Joe
Somers. chairman of the hous
ing committee, would change the
time of distribution f m the
mornings, when it is now done, to
the preceding afternoon.
Somers said many students are
disturbed in the morning by the
distribution of the sheets by
maids. According to Somers, laun
dry trucks pickup the dirty laun
dry the morning • after it is col
lected in the dormitories. This
would not change the laundry
schedule, he said.
Robert Solomon. chairman of
the west dorm dating code com
mittee. said the code will be
brought before the Senate coin
mittee on student .welfare this
morning.
Solomon warned West Dorm
students that the dating code is
not yet in effect.
A committee to investigate the
possibilities of establishing a con
tinuous council wa s approved.
Somers will head the committee.
In other action, the council ap
propriated $35 to the West Dorm
Chorus. The motion was intro
duced by Richard Ringling, who
said the money would be used to
buy music for the chorus.
The West Dorm social commit
tee will meet at 4 p.m. tomorrow
in 127 Hamilton, George Forsyth,
committee chairman, announced.
