Quarterbacks Bill ‘Colangelo and Milt Plum did not report until then Monday be cause of late classes. Indications are that the Nit tanies may try to balance their running game with more passing against the Middies. The ground attack showed up well against Pitt, and if Colangelo and Plum can hit their receivers, particu larly with short heaves, Lion hopes for victory will be greatly increased. Bruce felt that his men tried too many long passes in the opener instead of the short kind which eat up the yardage. - State should be near full strength for Navy with one, and possibly two, exceptions.

Fordham has been mixing its running and passing attacks very NEW YORK. Nov. 4 </P) Aerial fireworks are on tap Sat urday when the East's most po tent passing combination tan gles with the region's third best passing team in the Penn Stale- Fordham game. j Penn State's duo of quarter back Tony Rados and end Jim Garrity have a corner on pass ing, pass receiving and total of fense honors according to the latest figures released by the Eastern Intercollegiate Football Association. And Fordham's always-strong aerial attack currently rates third with, an average of 139.6 aerial yards a game. well and it has been this combin ation that is responsible for the Ram’s fine showings. Roger Franz is the Rams’ passing ace. Last year he outpitehed Co-captain Tony Rados in the East. Franz was second, while State’s sling shot artist was third. After their fine showings against the big West Virginia line, tackles Otto Kneidinger and Rosey'Grier are expected to bolster Engle’s forward wall against the Rams’ running attack. Grier played one of the finest games of his career against the Mountaineers. Danowski has some fine line men, too. Those who have been receiving praise are Co-captain Charley Danielczuk, Carmine Campisi, Phil Vincenzes and Joe Lauzynski. As far as Danowski is concerned about Saturday’s grid battle with State, he states: “That one may be over our heads but if our boys play the same way they did against Miami, we could cause trouble.” ell-deserved day off from practice Monday, Coach Earl Bruce used r antage as he sent the frosh through a 20-minute scrimmage. It’s a rare and is the biggest question mark at the moment. Colangelo’s leg is also bothering him, but Bruce hopes that he will be able to see some service. The frosh are not sure just what to expect from the Middies, • al though they most likely will see plenty of T plays. Navy has played more games than State and already boast a win over the Penn freshmen.. Last year, Navy turned back the Lions at Annapolis, 21-13. yimimmmmmiimimmmmmiimmmsimmimmmimiimmmmim'’.

Under the new rule, th eoffens ive team will have an option of taking the balk called on the pitcher or the result of the bat ter’s swing—possibly a home run. • glasses ® bar signs Rosey Grier Outstanding Tackle What Next? Sams Songf^ By SAM' PROCOPIO ,'' , ' Collegian Sports Editor There is something about sports rules that sebm to bring out the' pioneering instincts'in the men that make them. Not only do they seem to be constantly seeking rule changes they can. make (which is great), but the more extreme the alter ation can be, the better the' rulemakers seem to like it. Basketball, for example, struggled through its first season under the so-called one-and-one foul rule. This rule provides for a second free throw if a player misses the first. It has proved to be universally unpopular and should be scrapped.' If a basketball player can’t make a foul shot on the first try with no interference, he doesn’t deserve a second. Football exploded with the limited substitution rule. It has separated the . men from the boys. The rule was a great and wise move, but "could be improved. Now baseball steps into the picture. Tuesday we found base ball's rules committee holding its first meeting in more than two years. What did it do? It restored a rule that was employed in 1939 and abolished in 1940. Under the 1954 rule, a sacrifice can be credited only on a fly ball which permits a runner to score from third base. A fly which advances the runner from one base to another but does not bring him home will not be scored as a sacrifice. Thus, according to the new rule, the batter will not be charged with a time at bat when, the rule applies. James Gallagher of the Chicago Cubs, chairman of the rules committee, said, “for- some time there has been considerable senti ment in its favor and' so we thought it would be a popular move to give the hitter credit when he drives in a run with ah outfield fly.” Whal's wrong with just a RBI to his credit? How many men deliberately hit fly balls to advance a runner home? Not many. Many are satisfied if they do hit the ball out of the infield to bring the runner home, but each and every baiter comes to the plate with one idea—base hits. Not fly balls. We are_really wondering if the rules committee had'any specific intentions- for allowing this rule, other than to give credit to the batter for this hidden talent. We believe they are looking for .400 hitters. With this rule, we won’t be surprised if they do get,them. ' ' ' MORE ON WEST VIRGINIA' * WARNING—for the betterment of football's bowl games,' West Virginia does not deserve a bowl bid. This year, anyway. The Mountaineers are not living on their own reputation .this sea- ' son, but on Pitt's and Penn State's. It has been reported that officials at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and the Ggtor Bowl in Florida have said’ West Virginia was among those teams being con sidered for New Year’s Day games. Last year Syracuse received a bid io Ihe Orange Bowl when it beat State. West Virginia is about to get one for the same rea son. Why is it that when some schodl beats the Lions it goes places, A but when it's ihe reverse Penn State is considered just , another team which won? We can only say the sportswriters must think a great deal of our prestige, although they hardly rate • us. It is obvious that the Nittany Lions don’t deserve a bid, but it’s more' obvious' that the Mountaineers don’t either—unbeaten or not. Our warning: “Remem ber the Orange Bowl?” ■ •, As one person put it: "Not io say we didn't have competent officials at the Penn State-West Virginia game Saturday," Hut the Mountaineers kicked off from the 45 yard line (instead of the 40) and got away with’ it.
