State Meets Panthers
In Grid Season Fin •le
LIZ COAL SCUTTLE, rotating trophy co-sponsored by the Inter
fraternity Councils of the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State,
will be awarded to the winner of the game today. At pre-game
ceremonies, the trophy will be initiated into an annual tradition.
Coal Scuttle to Set
Pitt-State Tradition
The pre-Pitt game ceremony today .
with the Pitt and Penn
State bands, athletic directors, and Interfraternity Council presi
dents of both schools taking part, will institute a new tradition at
Penn State.
That institution is the exchange of a "coal scuttle" trophy be-
tween both schools with the win
ner of the football game getting
the trophy.
Representing the entire student
bodies of both schools, State's
IFC accepted a suggestion from
Pitt that both councils finance
such a trophy and 'exchange it
annually.
At the pre-game ceremony, both
bands will unite to play Pitt's
"Hail to Pitt," and State's "Hail
to the Lion." IFC presidents Ar
thur Rosfeld of the College and
Ludwig Lippert of Pitt will then
inaugurate the new custom of the
trophy exchange.
The trophy will reside at the
winning school for the entire year
following the game. In the event
of.a State win, the bucket will be
on display in a trophy case in
Recreation Hall. Small in et a 1
plaques listing the date, the win-.
ning school, and the score of the
game will be added each year.
This new custom will initiate
a tradition similar to the one ex
isting between the Universities
of Michigan and Minnesota. Foot
ball's famed "Little Brown Jug"
is awarded' the winner of that
grid classic:
_
A coal scuttle is a bucket simi
lar to ones found in front of fire
places. A scuttle was chosen to
symbolize the soft coal school
Pitt, and the hard coal school,
State.
Rivalry between the two schools
dates back 52 years. Because this
rivalry is always so keen, Rosfeld
said, the trophy should become a
great tradition.

Reasons given for the with
drpwals were: personal 12. illness

STATE COLLEGE, PA., SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22, 1952
Campus Chest
Drive Reaches
34% of Goal
The Campus Chest total climbed
only a little over one-third of its
goal yesterday, according to Jos
eph Haines, solicitations chairman.
The drive, which ends today,
received approximately $BOO, rais
ing the total to approximately
$4200. The goal for the drive is
$12,000.
Faculty - administration returns
are not yet available, A. H. Im
hof, faculty-administration solici
tations chairman, said yesterday.
He said he expects to know com
plete results by the end of Thanks
giving recess.
Haines said drive reports have
been received slowly. Disappoint
ment at drive progress was evi
denced by officials Tuesday when
they said only $2BOO had been re
ceived. At that point last year,
$6OOO had been collected.
Last year's goal was also
$12,000. Last year the drive came
within 99 per cent of its goal.
The drive this year was origi
nally scheduled to end last Tues

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN
Penn State's week-long mon
soon will continue until this
afternoon when colder 'weather
is expected to bring snow. The
College Weather Station has
predicted rain and general bad
weather in Pittsburgh for the
Pitt-Penn State football game
today with a Rossibility of
snow in the late afternoon.
Weather Could Hamper
Lion Victory Chances
PITTSBURGH—An all week rain, which isn't expected
to letup for the game, 'could be a serious blow to Penn State
chances when the Lions renew their traditional season
windup football rivalry with Pitt here today.
Almost 50,000 fans were expected in Pitt Stadium for
the kickoff at 2 p.m., but the inclement weather, in addition
to the possibility of turning the
field into a quagmire, will cer
tainly hurt the crowd.
Ordinarily a muddy field is a
great equalizer as was the case
in 1950 when an underdog Nit
tany team upset the Panthers, 21-
20, in a Forbes Field marsh of
mud and water
However, this year the Lions
were figured to have their upset
chances' lying in the ac curate
pitching arm of Tony Rados who
practically has rewritten the Penn
State passing record book him
self.
52d In Series
Although the Stadium field has
been covered by a tarpaulin, a
week's rain is bound to cause
seepage which added to expected
rain today can make things plenty
muddy. If it should be robbed of
its air arm, State will definitely
be handicapped since Pitt's
strength is just as much in its
running as passing.
On the other hand, the Nittany
ground attack has not been near
as potent as the Pitts who are a
tremendous blocking team.
Pitt Leads S eries
This 52d game in a series which
started in 1893, finds the Orange
Bowl-expectant Panthers the fa
vorites by anywhere from seven
to 14 points. Both teams hold
nearly identical won-lost records
but the Panthers have finished
their season with a roar while the
Lions' early season roar has died
down to a feeble purr in the last
two games.
In this classic series—where the
favorite quite often fails to win—
Pitt holds a wide edge of 30 wins
against 19 losses and two ties. The
Panthers won last year's battle,
13-7, in the closing minutes of
play. Other memorable games in
the recent series fou n d bowl
bound Penn State teams—both in
1940 and 1948—get upset by the
Panthers. This year, with Pitts
bughers smelling 0 r an g e blos
soms, State is in an excellent posi
tion to turn the tables.
