Best Performance The Lions entered the game holding a 22-19 edge in the all time series which began in 1906. The Mounties, coached by Red Brown, were out after revenge, for last year, they took two of their four losses from the Lions and ended the season with a 23-4 record. The West Virginia quintet gave its best performance of the cam paign Saturday at Virginia Tech. They won 92-55 and sank a re markable 46 per cent of their shots. At half time they had a 35-point lead, 56-21. ;The high scorer for the even ing was Captain Jim Sottile, who has been pacing the Mounties' at tack all season. He scored 27 points for a 12-game average of 18.8. The 6-10 center, Johnny Coil, played his best game and put in 18 tallies.

Coach Gene Wettstone, a judge ditring last years' Olym pic games at Helsinki,- Fin land, will take a 13-man team to East Lansing, Mich., to battle Michigan State, Big Ten gymnas tic runnerups to Illinois last year and always tough in any sport. The football team will testify to that. The match will be the second for ex-Temple star George Szy pula's team, which faced Wiscon , sin recently. The following day, Penn State will travel by private cars to Champagne, 111., to meet Charlie Pond's Illinois squad, spearhead ed by Bob Sullivan, the whirl wind tumbler. Sullivan placed second to another Illinois Univer sity graduate, Dick Browning, in the Olympic tryout and the Na tional Amateur Athletic Union (NAAU) gymnastic meet here in April. Sullivan, one of the best all around gymnasts in the country, won the Big Ten and the Nation al Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) crowns and appears a sure bet to beat State's entry of either Warren Homas, Bob Ken yon, Bob Kreidler, or Bill Sopper. One of two losses from last year's team was tumbler Owen Wilkinson, leaving only Bob Ken yon with any notable experience to replace Wilkinson. Bill Sabo, last year's third par allel bar man, was the lone oth er man graduated from a team that this year Wettstone says has "depth." Defending Eastern individual Litlists from last year's team, winner of four and loser only to Army, are Jean Cronstedt and Bob Lawrence.

The 6-3 star is in his last semester. at the College and won't be here for the re maining games in February and March.

Blocker to Return Coming back to the squad next. semester will be the 6-4 Jim Blocker. Ineligible this year be cause of his grades, Blockei should prove a big help in the rebounding department. A "look-back" into the records of the Gettysburg game show the Lion cagers had a very poor night in their. field goal attempts. They only sank 28 shots out of 107 tries for a 26 percentage. The game was saved by the board work which showed the Lions grabbing 84 rebounds to 35 for the Bullets.

Allen Street ea at . erick "The Store of Service" The Lion's Ede Sixty future terrors of collegiate gridirons recently were awarded freshman football letters by Michigan State College. Of that number, 21 were outside the state of Michigan. Of this one-third, eight were from the state which probably produces more All-America gridders than any other—yours truly, Pennsylvania. What has Michigan State got that Penn State, Pennsylvania. or Pitt doesn't have? Spartan Biogie Munn, the Coach of the Year —probably because he had such a real problem every Saturday choosing a starting l'neup from among 30 potential All-Americans —has the simple answer: "We. have a lovely camfms and no rules against boys visiting it." Sure, Biggie, Sure. This out-of-state fascination of Pennsylvanians is naturally a constant annoyance to Nittany Coach Rip Engle., Of course he has a different version from B.ggie's delicate esthetic values. Speaking on the subject last winter, the Ripper said, "I can understand it if the boy's father went to school there (out of state). I can appreciate why an ambitious young athlete' might prefer an out-of-state college. He might want to go where a subject is particularly well taught. But that's not the way it happens. Our Pennsylvanians, or at least the better ones, go out of the state just because they are persuaded." This persuasion takes the .form of beauty, to be sure. The Yankee beauty most foreign visitors are impressed with. On an unhappy visit to the East Lansing home of ..Michigan State's gridiron dread noughts last fall, a transplanted Pennsy gridder was encountered and promptly questioned. "Why do you come all the way out here to play. football when Penn State has just as fine a school—and closer to home?" His answer is known by all, but most still naively hide it in campus beauty: "Penn State couldn't give . me what M'chigan State does." Let's face it. Substantial subdidization is the only thing wherein *.o catch the conscience of any football player. You either have to spend, or spend frustrating• Saturday afternoons. New York Univer sity dropped_ athletic grants last summer and has committed athletic suicide from a big time standpoint. Even NYU's — perennial basketball powerhouses have faded to the point of possible evacuation from Madison Square Garden. • The NCAA can talk sanity codes and reforms as much as the Russians talk peace—and with about as much accomplishment. It's action like that taken by the Ivy League last summer which counts.. With a formalized and official league, the Ivies have limited scholarships, eliminated spring practice, post-season play, and the subsidization of prep school players, and compounded schedules. In short, the Ivies will be the Simon Purest •gridders in the land—and probably be the most , putrid. But the formal band"ng of the Ivy League was easy in corn parison with alien - fp:ls to get some universal order in so large a body as the NCAA. Sure, the NCAA can institute cleanup cam paigns and st..snond Kentucky's 1953 basketball schedule. But the NCAA. covers too large a territory and too many schools to see what's going on, let alone do anything about it. Some remarks made by Michigan State President John Hannah in a recent article in the "News and World Report" bring up a few questions. Hahnah, who must be awfully good at tongue-in-checking since his ECA committee recommendations for athletic cleanup come so close to Michigan State, says the Big Ten plans to go along with 3ost-season deemphasis. Hannah says the Western Conference isn't likely to renew its Rose Bowl pact with the Pacific Coast after the current contract ends next New Year's Day. But, is the Big Ten likely to throw away a bountiful source of revenue which is divided among the whole conference? As to athletic 'scholarships, Hannah says. "Our recommenda tions are essentially that th2re b 2 no athletic scholarships as such Yet, conferences are permitted to give board, room, tuition, books. and "small" monthly stipends.
