Charles Hogan, a junior at Del

many peopl faced with the task
of paying off election bets made
in various forms and degrees dur

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

promise by pushing the , peanut
down the 'straight and narrow
path," the yellow line in the mid

Room to Metzger's.
It didn't take long for a crowd
to gather to watch the exhibition.
Traffic was halted as Hogan am-

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE - COLLEGE. 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).

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.
