Overall in the ser ies, dating from 1922, State holds a 13-11-5 edge in the win column. Although the outcome of the game is in half-and-half disa greement among men supposed to know, the Lions should prob ably be rated a two touchdown edge on the basis of a tougher schedule. However, Syracuse has an excellent feather in its cap with a 20-19 win over Holy Cross. The win over the Crusaders was accomplished in the last 40 seconds of the game as Syracuse upset one of the East's top rank ing independents. Only Yukica Out Fully rested with one week's layoff, since then, Syracuse has recovered from a rash of early season injuries and has all of its early season potential ready to day with the exception of Avat us Stone, quarterback and safety man. State too will be at top strength except for regular left end Joe Yukica, who is still second man on the club in pass receptions despite sitting out the last two games. The game could well turn into a passing affair with Syracuse's Pat Stark, 10th ranking passer in the nation, expected to take to the air to get over a Nittany defense which 'proved plenty tough on the ground last week. All-American Candidate Stark has hit on 59 passes in 109 attempts for six touchdowns and 657 yards while directing the Syracuse unbalanced T attack. Stark is nearing Bernie Custis' Syracuse season record of 75 set in 1950. On the receiving end of Stark's passes is All-American end can didate Joe Szombathy and Carl Karilivacz, a defensive halfback the last two yeas. State can counter in the pass ing game with winged-T quar terback Tony Rados, who has al ready hit on 68 out of 128 passes for a new Penn State career rec ord. State's ground offensive, some what silent since early season, can be expected to turn loose with fullback Bob Pollard back in his oftentimes brilliant form. On the ground for Syracuse, THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Korean war vet Bill Wetzel at fullback is the top groundgainer with 405 yards in 75 attempts. He is a good man to get the few necessary yards at crucial mo ments. Bob Leberman is the speedy halfback that Syracuse counts on for long runs. Leberman has gained 396 yards in much fewer tries than Wetzel. Nittany Coach • Rip Engle will stick with his same lineup with the exception of Yukica. Offen sively. Jess Arnelle and Don Mal inak will be at the terminals. Rosey Grier and Gene Denser hold down the tackle slots, and Dubs Haldeman and Don Shank are at the guards. State's all-East center candi date, Jim Dooley will be passing the ball to Rados who will in turn hand and pitchout to left half backs Dick Jones and Buddy Rowell, wingbacks Do n Eyer, Don Bailey, and Keith Vesling, and fullbacks Pollard and Matt Yanosich. On defense it will be double duty Malinak and Dave Simon. At tackle it will be the giants Stew Scheetz and Grier with Al Bowden in reserve. In the middle of the line will be the hard-to move Don Barney. • Filling in the line gaps or back ing up depending on the defen sive alignment will be Pete Schoderbek, Sam Green, and Bob Smith, all bright performers last week. Don Balthaser will also see plenty of backing up duty. In the secondary, Jack Sherry will be at safety, and Eyer and Bill Leonard at th e halfback slots. 1, ;< : : , .. : : . * : . , 1 . • -• ..:.. .... ......

Between the Lions What are the chances of State's basketball team this year? Will they live up to their predecessors who finished the '5l-'52 season with a 20-4 log and also played in the NCAA tournament? Only time can answer these questions but maybe a little rundown on what kind of material Elmer Gross has will help the reader form his own pre-season opinions. Most of the information is based on what has been observed in practice and from last year's playing. HERIVI SLEDZIK—a senior this year, Herm is captain of the team and has been playing good ball in the scrimmages. His 6-4 frame is s m all for a boardman but can be counted on for good rebounding. Besides the two hand over the head shot he favored last year, he has added a few more jump shots underneath the boards. He was a consistent starter last year and his experience will help a lot ED HAAG—a 6-2 junior who played up front last year. A dependable player but not the ball handler Williams was, Haag is a hard fighter. Ed played basketball his freshman year at California State Teachers then came to State last season where he fitted in nicely with the fast breaking offensive of the Lions. As in the case with Sledzik, Ed played a lot of ball last year and was one of the first starting seven. RONNIE WEIDENHAMMER the frosh sensation last year whose fine set shooting and pass ing really came through in the close moments. Ron has been sit ting out the scrimmage sessions the past week because of a leg injury which is still stiff. He stands 6-1 and is a smart player. His outside set shots will be a 'big asset. JOE PIORKOWSKI a very dependable player, Joe, a two year letterman, will be a steady ing influence to the team. This 6-3 senior will be available for only one semester of play. Be cause of student teaching he has missed the first week of prac tice but it shouldn't take him too long to get back into the system. From this standpoint, we'd say his biggest fault is he doesn't shoot enough. JESSE ARNELLE—his statis tics, 6-5 and 215 pounds almost speak for themselves. He did most of the scoring last year with a hookshot from the side and jump shots underneath. He is the best rebounder of the team and with a little more polish on ball hand ling will probably be one of the top players in the country. JACK SHERRY—an aggres sive ball fighter and although only 6-3 he's good on rebound ing. He has a fine one hand jump shot but has a tendency for dribbling too much. Has a lot of experience, which will prove valuable. And there are the first six men who will probably do the majority of the playing this year. They all have had at least one year of ~.. Hur's _ MEN'S SHOP Opposite Old Main By TED SOENS Assistant Sports Editor experience and . all were starters last year. Now for the reserves JIM HlLL—his 6-6 height could be a very big asset but he doesn't use it to its best advantage. If he could leave his feet and with more fight he and Jesse, working as a team, could really go places. JIM BLOCKER a vast im provement over last year. Jim has a wide variety of shots. At 6-3 he's good at rebounding but from here we'd say needs more experience. TED JACKSON—a husky 6-4 junior who played freshman ball two years ago. Could de velop into a fine player but doesn't fight hard underneath the boards. ANDY PHILLIPS—a senior this year, Phillips has a consistent hook shot. A darkhorse in the picture, he could prove very valu able. JIM BREWER —has been playing very hard in scrim mages and especially in defense where he has been both patrol ling the outside and also help ing in the rebounding. Jim. is about six foot. JOHN WARD—a newcomer to State. John sat it out last year because of ineligibility. He played freshman ball at Villanova before he transferred here last year. He stands 6-3 and has been playing good ball. Keep your eyes on him, he'll be a good man to have around this season. And that is the 'iummary of the personnel. Six veterans with a lot of experience and six reserves that need some. How far they'll go remains to be seen! Psych Head to Talk Dr. C. R. Carpenter, professor and head of the Department of Psychology, will address the Fac ulty Luncheon Club at the Hotel State College at noon Monday.
