There was a mutual agreement between Hogan and Curtis Klaus, a senior at Delta Chi, that the man campaigning for the losing side would push a peanut down Allen street with his nose. Klaus, completely satisfied with the results ,of the election, told Hogan that he need not fulfill the bargain, but the other broth ers revolted. Last Saturday, im mediately after lunch, Hogan was abducted and taken to the corner of Allen street and College ave nue. There he carried out his promise by pushing the , peanut down the 'straight and narrow path," the yellow line in the mid dle of the street from the Corner Room to Metzger's.

PENNSYLVANIA Pride-Hurt Lions Prep For Rutgers Taking a much-ne.t:,ued day off Monday, Penn State's pride wounded grid team got back to work yesterday to prepare for the final home game of the season against Rutgers Saturday. Although naturally low in spir its following th e drubbing by Syracuse. .the Lions came out of the tame in good physical condi tion with none other than the usual bumps and bruises. With the possibility that end Joe Yukica—out for thre weeks with a torn knee ligament—will suit up for Rutgers, State could be at full strength for the first time since early in the season. Arnelle Near Record Statistics for eight games, in which State has won five, -lost two, and tied one, show that the Lions have fallen behind the op position in total yardage gained both on the ground and in the air. The Lions have been averag ing 131.5 yards on the ground per game to the opposition's 180.4. Through the air medium, State is averaging 124.9 to the foes' 125.6. Although the Nittany air game has lost some of its early season potency, sophomore end Jess.-Ar nelle is approaching the one-sea son Penn State record of 31 re ceptions set by Lenny Krouse in 1941. Jess nabbed four passes Sat urday to bring his season total to 25. Quarterback Tony.Rados' pass ing average has sharply dipped in the last two games, but he still has a 51 percent completion aver age with 73 for 144 and he has thrown seven touchdown passes. Bob Szajna is second with a 45 per cent record for 10 out of 22. Halfback Dick Jones still shows the way in net yardage gained with 303 for a 3.7 per try average. Bob Pollard is second with 267 yards gained at a 3.2 rate and Matty Yanosich is third top groundhog with 210 yards at a 3.4 clip. Secondary defensive standouts Jack Sherry and Don Eyer are still even in the interception race with five apiece. Jack has run back 55 yards and Don's five thefts have netted 42 yards. Jones and Pollard remain tied for the top scoring honors with four TD's each, but placekicker Bill Leonard is close behind with 21 points on 18 conversions and one field goal. (Bill has converted 15 straight since the Purdue game). WRA Basketball Starts Woman's intramural sports got underway Monday night wit h three teams posting first basket ball wins.

Beaver Phone 2342 The Lion's Eye • Immediately after , leaving the scene of the Penn State football disaster Saturday at Syracuse, Nittany observers could only do two things. (1) Swear about a miserable showing by a team which had been in serious'contention for Eastern supremacy and the Lambert Trophy emblematic of such distinction. (2) Make feeble attempts to joke about canceling train and plane reservations to Dallas, Tex., for New Year's Day. But after allowing reason andlhe ever-cooling time to conquer • wrath, you•have to lobk more kindly at the 25-7 lops to the, Bill Orange eleven. To begin with, why should anyone deride a team for one disappointing day when it had turned in seven fine per formances previously. Yes, even in losing their only other game— to Michigan State—the Lions were a good football team. Of course, what hurt about the loss was the sight of seeing a Penn State team which had good control and calin assurance all season suddenly appear "helpless," as Coach Rip Engle put it. Rip said he felt all week what was coming, but could do nothing about it. Also hurting was the fact that Villanova—riding high, wide, handsome and unbeaten—got plastered 42-6 by a Tulsa team which even had three touchdowns called. back. Had the Lions defeated Syracuse, it would have just about necessitated the making of space in Rec Hall for a Lambert Trophy. Anyway, "what's done cannot be undone." The game is lost and most probably can be attributed to a case of the spirit being willing but the body being weak. A murderous schedule finally caught up with State. Without the three-deepness of, say Michigan.. State, a team cannot. possibly play Nebraska, Michigan State, and Penn in succession and still be physically ready to play another power like Syracuse the following week. In these days of ten rugged games without the "breather" dotted schedules, it is tough to be physically up for every game even though the spirit can be raised as was the Lions' for Syracuse. This heavy scheduling is probably the reason why the season has been marked by an unusual number of upsets. A team simply doesn't get a rest the week before a big, game. For instance, is it likely that Notre Dame ; will be ready for Michigan State this week after playing 'so remarkable and bruising a game last week against Oklahoma? So it is with Penn State. After meeting MSC, Nebraska, and Penn in order, the Lions ran into a mighty strong Syracuse team—at peak strength for the first time air year, fully rested from an . open date the week previous, and high as a kite; that is, up for the game with a capital U. The inevitable was Engle's worst fear.. QUOTES: Coach Ben Schwartzwalder said the Orange played its "best game since he has been coaching Syracuse (1949)" . . . In sharp contrast, Pitt scouts said they had "never seen State look so bad all year." . Lion Assistant Coach Al Michaels says Syra cuse is almost as good as MSC defensively. ORANGE POST MORTEMS: The Lions could only garner 45 rushing yards and 56 air yards in their worst offensive day all year . . Pat Stark's 47-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter might well have been the longest quarterback sneak in history. Honest, Stark's only intention was to buck the line to help run' out the clock. But with the cooperation of Nittany defenders, he outran the clock . . . Tony Rados wasn't getting the deep-poCket protection he had been all season and by the same token State's line wasn't spilling Syracuse passers the way it did the Penns. HUMAN RACE: Saturday was a great day for the' races at Penn State—the human race. Nearly 125 schoolboys thundered like a herd of cattle over the golf course lighting out for PIAA cross country glory .. . Chick Werner's varsity Lion harriers also performed gloriously, as usual, on the home courset—when is the last time they lost at home?—with Red Hollen showing the way. Red's Williamsport High brother, Jim, finished fourth among the schoolboys. If he comes to State, don't be surprised if he matches Red. Manhattan has groWn lazy.
