Pitt Hosts Lions
Pitt, with a 6-2 record compared to State's 6-2-1; has been win
ning with a vigor reminiscent of the Panthers' glorious Jock Suther
land days in the 20's and 30's. It has bumped off three Big Ten
teams—a rare feat for the Panthers—and owns a sparkling 22-19
win over Notre Dame. Pitt lost understandably to Oklahoma, 49-20,
but were stunned in one of the
year's major upsets. 16-0, by West
Virginia.
Since the latter loss Pitt has
gotten better and better, winning
three in a row including a 21-14
win over Ohio State and a drub
bing of North Carolina State, 48-
6. last week.
Eastern Suprema c y Bid
State on the other hand started
in dazzling fashion, winning tour
and tying one. Losing as expected
to Michigan State, the Lions
bounced back -to trip Penn, 14-7.
Promptly, State nose-dived. They
fell to Syracuse, 25-7, and edged
weak Rutgers, 7-6, last week.
Leading the Panthers' bid for
Eastern supremacy and a bowl bid
are a couple of All-East stand
outs, Billy Reynolds and Jo e
Schmidt. Reynolds is one of the
best halfbacks in the East and
Captain Schmidt is a virtual un
paSsable linebacker.
Surrounding Reynolds in th e
backfield is a stellar cast includ
ing quarterback Rudy Mattioli,
fullback. Bobby Epps, and half
back Bill Hoffman. Mattiola is the
director of the Panther T-attack
which occasionally Shifts into a
back-lateraling singlewing.A" good
passer, Mattiola has fine receiv
ers in end Dick Deitrick and half
back Reynolds.
Lion Coach Rip Engle says his
team is in high spirits for what
he calls the "best team in the
Pigskin Coin Flips . . .
Out on a Limb
With this, the last week of football forecasting upon their
shaking shoulders, the Nittany grid coaches are handing the task
of producing a final winner to Al Michaels.
The coaches axe presently locked in a tie for first place with
Daily Collegian Sports Editor Jake Highton with a percentage of
.632. Sportswriter Bob Schoellkopf, with .617, is in third position,
while Assistant Sports Editor Ted Soens is fourth with .564.

lon five took advantage of its op
portunities at the foul line to
squeeze by Pi Kappa Alpha, 17-
15, in the first IM court encoun
ter at Rec Hall on Wednesday.
The bitterly contested game
was a seesaw battle fr o m the
start. Wayne Hockersmith's three
fouls plus a field goal provided
the winning margin for the vic
tors.

Lambda Chi Alpha easily hand
ed Sigma Nu a 29-22 defeat. Aca
cia received the second worst de
feat of the evening, at the hands
of the sharp shooting Sigma Phi
Sigma cagers, 38-7.
Gab Lansack, who racked up 11
points for the winners, and a one
point lead of 13-12 at halftime,
enabled Theta Kappa Phi to tri
umph over a fighting Triangle
squad.
Sigma Chi Romps
Aided by eight points scored by
Bill Dorsey, Alpha Sigma Phi

ing's competition as they subdued
Kappa Delta Rho, 22-15. Delta

Lion Harriers
To Enter NC's
With Incentive
Penn State's cross-country team, upended in the IC4A's earlier
this week, will enter the 14th• annual NCAA meet at East Lansing,
Mich., with an added% incentive on Monday.
First, the Lion harriers will race against the team that dethroned
,hem in the IC's in Michigan State. Secondly, they will race against
the only team that beat them during the regular season in MSC.
Third, they will race against the team that's favored to take the
'952 NCAA team title in MSC.
Jell them all together and one gets the hill-and-dale team that
s caused Coach Chick Werner's hair to get whiter, and has put
t victory-hungry look on the faces of his pupils.
In the IC filre-mile race at Van Cortlandt Park, New '2ork City,
:onday, the men of Coach Karl Schlademan solidly Outclassed their
Eastern competition and claimed the team trophy. Penn State, de-‘
fending champions, finished fourth • behind Army and Syracuse,
defending NCAA titlist. Their IC victory was the second cross
country honor bestowed on them in four days. Last Friday they
displayed the same kind of distance proWess when they won the
Big Ten,title from Wisconsin.
Last month in triangular competitioti at East Lansing, the mighty
Michigan Staters scored 31 points, while the Lions were second with
41 and Michigan trailed with 55. That was the Lion's first setback
of the past season. Penn State finished the campaign with a 4-1 .
record.
Monday the Nittany harriers will run over the same MSC four
mile course. It's a course which is practically flat and requires a
harrier to run a wide-open race for the entire four-miles.
The battle for individual recognition will see 13 of the nation's
finest runners in action. Leading the list is Charley Capozzoli of
Georgetown, fresh from his runaway. individual victory in the IC's.
The 21-year-old Hoya senior covered the AMP course's five-miles
of hill-and-dale in the'remarkable time of 24:31.1.
Other standouts are Penn State's Lamont Smith and Bob R i ollen,
Jim Lambert of Indiana, Jim Kepford of MSC, Jack Alexander of
Notre Dame, Ted Wheller and Rich Ferguson of lowa, Ray Osterhattt
of Syracuse, Dewey Johnson of Drake, George Lynch and John Ross
of Michigao, and Ed Aylmer of Michigan Normal.
Spartans Favored
The fight for team honors is another story. Chief contender for
the team title include ,Syracuse, host MSC, Penn State, Kansas,
Indiana, and Michigan.
On the basis of Monday's IC showing, the Spartans look like
champs from this corner, with Indiana and Penn State close behind
and possibly Kansas. •
Kansas, the runner-up to Syracuse last fall, has lost Herb Sem
per, their great two-time individual champion, but returning are
Wes Santee, Norm Bitner, Art Dal2ell, and Dick Wilson, all of
whom were placed in the '5l running.
Indiana, who finished second to MSC in the Big Ten champion
ships last week, has George Branham, Jack Wellman John Hagen,
and Francis Zellers who have competed in previous 'TCAA compe
tition.
MSC, fifth place finishers in last year, have veterans Kepford,
Wayne Scutt, and Jerry Zerbe to depend on.
Back for Penn State, the fourth place team a - year ago, are
Smith, Hollen, Jackson Homer, and Jim Hamill. participate
in Monday's race, along with either John Chillrud, Stan Lindner,
or Don Austin.
