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?

Football
• •••••••• „
Four more wins were added to .the scoreboard of intramural
fraternity and independent touch football skirmishes last night, as
second-round independent play was-wound up. Second-round compe
tition was all but completed in interfraternity play, as one contest
remains.
• A well organized Broadjumper
nine took the measure of Simmons
Men in the evening's opening en
counter, 6-0. Following the Broad
jumpers' opening kickoff and an
exchange of punts, the ball- was
on the winners' 45. On the second
play from scrimmage, a Charlie
Rogan to Bob Tisat pass play ac
counted for 40 yards and the
games' only score. The• Rogan-to-
Nelson Fairly extra point attempt
Following the ensuing kickoff
by the BroadjumperS' Dick Lu
tiey, and a change of plays; the
first period came to a close. In
the second half, sterling defensive
play -by• both squads kept the
teams from advancing any con
siderable distance.
Kappa Sigma won over Zeta
Beta Tau in what was perhaps
the evening's outstanding battle ;
13-6.. This was -the first game for
each team, as both drew first
round byes.
Following Kappa Sigma's open
ing kickoff and a change of
downs, a ZBT aerial was inter
cepted by Kappa Sigma's Bob
Biggs on the losers' 27. On third
down Ned Ha.rshaw passed to
Russ Teague on ZBT's one. On
the ensuing play, Harshaw again
tossed an aerial, this time to Joe
Jackson, for the needed yard and
six points. The southpaw wizzard
again took to the air, finding Lou
D'Angeli in the end zone for the
seventh marker.
