MONES'IDAY, .00TOBER• -21 ; i 1953 The Orange Blues Sam's BY SAM PROCOPIO Collegian Sports EditOr There is always the just before, the now, and the after in football. For the Penn State-Syracuse battle last Saturday, the just before was rough. Now it's over. And the after? Well, the Nittany Lions did play one of their most spectacular games in the final quarter. For our money, the last minute was more. thrilling than the entire game. The outstanding play? You name it and you're probably right. One student is inclined to believe that Danny DeValco's punt block which was picked up by Jim Garrity for a TD was the best and quickest thing that ever happened. He said: "/ looked at the scoreboard to see how much iime there was. I began wondering if they (Lions) would emphasize on the punt return or rush the, kicker: By the time I looked back at the field, they had scored a touchdovin, missed the extra ,point and lined up for the kickoff." That play was the mostenjoyable for, the 21,500 to see but was the most depressing to the Syracuse fans. Three Syracuse writers sitting next to us in the press box were all smiles for three quarters. Then they began to sit back, looking dazed—especially when Garrity scored the winning tally. After the game one reporter turned to us and said: "Can't 'beat this Penn State place. I've been coming here for years and they (Syracuse) never• seem to do it." (Not since 1934 have the Orange eleven won at Beaver Field). "Usually' I leave a State -Syracuse game at Beaver Field feeling aggravated," he con tinued, "but not after this one. State really made a great come back." Coach Rip Engle says the same, but adds "our boys never gave up. And that is what I really liked about them." - The victory was not only one of revenge for Penn State but Syracuse's chance for the 1950 Lambert Trophy, symbolic of Eastern gridiron supremacy, is now practically nil. Then too, State dropped Syracuse from first to, third place nationally in rushing defense and slipped them to ninth place in total defense. The Orangemen's rush ing defense average which was 59.7 is now .92.3. THEY DID IT!!! We may have defeated the Orange but not the Orange Bowl committee. On Monday the committee signed a two-year pact with tbe Big Seven and Atlantic Coast conferences... And according to The Associated Press, the pact was praised by coaches and college officials. The Big Seven and Atlantic Coast coaches and college officials no doubt. Under the agreement, the two conferences will supply teams for the next two Orange Bowl games. Oklahoma and Maryland are favored to dominate the two circuits this season. • Missouri's Coach Don Fatirot said he had always favored bowl games "where they are under the control of the colleges and money is divided among all conference members, so the rich don't get richer and the poor poorer." Sure, Faurot, sure. But teams like West Virginia, Pitt, ArrAy, Navy, and Penn State are not exactly rich and won't get richer. If they are poor, they will get poorer because of the stupid decision made by the committee. The aforementioned top independent teams have one consolation, however. They can go to the Oil Bowl or the Pretzel Bowl. Or can their? —3CI--- Put your best 1 when you meet at the stat "HOMECOMING, e MEN'S & LAD] e SLACKS . & SW • TOPCOATS . . --WINNE Oct. 14-=David Mcllhginny - J. R. Levan Oct' 12=William Enneis Jr. .

For the most part, they're stay ing right in their own sectors fox this weekend's games. That leaves it up to Notre Dame's Irish, whc have topped the rankings since the start of the season, and Tech's Engineers, who have crept up to fourth place, to settle the inter sectional argument. allurgy, electronics, servo-meclian isms, instrumentation and controls. This division is engaged in the de velopment of rockets for both mili tary and peacetime applications. This makes for long term stability and creates sound career opportun ities for engineers, with a wide choice of interesting, well-paid jobs. PAGE SZVMI
