CrY, Sherry, dyer Set New Mark In interceptions Jack Sherry and Don Eyer established a new high in pass stealing during the 1952 football campaign. Each had eight interceptions to establish a new record in this depart ment. • Spearhead of the record department was Tony Rados; who completed more passes per game than any player in Penn State's 66 years of intercollegiate compe tition. New Team Record Eyer, who played both offen sively and defensively, reached the magic figure eight by three game-saving interceptions against Rutgers while Sherry, the basket ball giant who never played safe ty on defense until the current season, snared two which team mates converted into touchdowns and a 17-0 victory over Pitt. Nine different players partici pated in the season-long pass stealing as Lion defenders set a new team mark of twenty-six interceptions. Arnelle Sets Mark Rados' 17 completions for 192 yards against Purdue was the new high for a single game while he Freshman Cagers Schedule 8 Games Penn State cage fans will have an opportunity to witness eight freshman contests this season, all of which will be played as pre liminaries to the varsity tilts. Coach John Egli's frosh will play exhibition outside teams—Lycoming College junior varsity, and the Altoona Center squad— and will play three intrasquad games. The final contest will pos sibly match the fraternity intra mural champs against the year lings. Egli has trimmed a turnout group of approximately 100 down to a squad of 22 men, and has been conducting daily scrimmages during the practice sessions. In cluded on th e roster are, Jim Brennan, Hal Brown, Art Marty nuska, Dick Meek, Dick Dankel berger, Hugo Mori, Phi Lang, Rudy Marisa, Dick Morrison, Milt Linial, Joe Malone, Larry Gripfin, Ed Hauck, Earl Fields, Jack Newell, Bob Yorty, Chuck Chris tianson, Harry Holm, Howard Thompson, Jim Dowrick, Ed Rucl ler, and Bob Wainscott. Lot of Speed Within these 22 men, an abun dance of material is to be found. The squad has lots of height and speed, and many of the cagers have shown exceptionally well in the last few scrimmages. Egli, however, has had only two weeks to work with his squad and is just beginning to get them in shape. The able mentor spent the first three weeks of practice singling out the players that are included in the final roster, and breaking drive in the passing also took over the season and career records by- completing 93 of 186 the past season to bring his career total to 118 out of 254. Sophomore Jesse Arnelle was on the receiving end of 33 passes to shatter the old high of thirty one receptions set by Lenny Krouse. The team total of 1241 yards in ten games also established a new for passing offense.

Dur ing the 1951-52 season, the NCAA ruling on freshman athletes was lifted. The coming frosh season should prove interesting to Lion basket ball fans. After last season's standout' team, the interest in basketball at Penn State has in creased greatly, and the appear ance of the freshman quintet at Rec Hall will give Nittany "crys tal ballers" a pretty good picture of what to expect in the seasons fo come. 21,000 Per Game Penn S t.a t e averaged "21,000 persons at its five home games in 1952 to top the previous at tendance high of 20,000 at four ' - ome games in 1948.

PENNSYLVANIA Only back a few days from Thanksgiving vacation, most students already are looking forward to the long Christmas holiday which awaits them. Such anticipation can't come too soon, but for Al Bowden it's a different story. Bowden, Penn State's soph omore defensive tackle, will have to spend the Christmas and New Year's holiday in the Centre County Memorial Hos pital in Bellefonte. It all happened last month Early in the- second quarter of the Rutgers-State football game at Beaver Field. Al fractured his left leg in three places and has been hospitalized ever since. The Lion gridders man aged to eke out a 7-6 squeaker over Rutgers, but Bowden was lost for the remainder of the campaign. At the outset of the 1952 sea son, the 21-year-old State soph omore was listed as a reserve on the Nittany grid roster.' As the season progressed, how ever, Bowden came along nicely and had just made the starting grade when his unfor tunate accident occurred. At that time Bowden was :tiling, in for double-duty man Rosey Grier on defense. Pre viously, Grier was handling both offensive and defensive duties. Since Bowden will be con fined to his bed and to the hos pital for at least another two months, it would be a well-ap preciated gesture on the part of the student body if it remem bered to add Bowden's name to its Christmas card list. Cold statistics tell the hot story of Michigan :'fate's foot ball success this fall. The defensive platoon as of this! week is the toughest outfit in the country against rushing. The team has allowed just 83.9 yards per! game. Marquette netted just 57 yards on the ground. The offensive unit improVed its position nationally from sixth to third in potency with a 601-yards-gained exhibition against Mazquetie.' Michigan State, with 428.7 yards gained per game along the ground and through the air, ranks third only to Tulsa and San Jose State. In rushing, the Spartan freewheelers rank fifth. In pass ing, Tommy Yewcic and Willie Thrower have hit receivers well enough to rate 14th place in the country. Top scorer is Evan Slonac with four touchdowns and 37 extra points for a total of 61 points with 11. 1 1cA7 1.7 .ffe and Bol den tied at 54 each.
