PITT BACKFIELD, expected to start against the Niiiany Lions in
today's Pitt-Penn State football tilt, consists of quarterback Henry
Ford (12); right halfback Ray Ferguson, top; left halfback Richie
McCabe, center; and fullback Bobby Epps, bottom. The game is
the finale for both Universities.
Lion
Are
Rados and end Jim Garrity, who have been the East’s
No. 1 top battery through most of the season, must have an
above average day to their ratings This passing com
bination also has an opportunity to break two Penn State
records which they have failed to rewrite in their last two
outings.
The Slingshot quarterback from Steelton needs another
touchdown pass to equal the rec
ord of nine set iri 1912 by Shorty
Miller and matched in 1948 by
Elwood Petchel. Garrity, who
has been on the receiving end of
27 passes, needs six receptions
to tie Jesse Arnelle’s mark of 33
set last year.
Rados, who has, utilized his
passing ability well with his run
ning game; will be the man to
watch. However, it will be half
back Lenny Moore who will be
required to consume the yardage
on the ground. Although he still
trails Rados in total offense, he
is one of the most versatile backs
in the nation,
Engle’s senior quarterback, who
never played a minute on defense
until the current season, has been
tabbed the “iron man” of the
1953 squad.. He leads his team
mates with 330 out of a possible
480 minutes of action. Rados
played 54 minutes against Ford
ham, 52 minutes against Texas
Christian, and 52 minutes against
West Virginia.
Coach Red Dawson of Pitt in
tends to go along with the same
lineup that started last week’s
game. However, he indicated that
fullback Bob Grier, who had a
sensational day against the Wolf
pack, will see plenty of action.
Grier, who had played only one
minute all season, entered the
game, replacing Joe Capp and
..picked up 198 in 13 tries from
'scrimmage. He was short of a new
Pitt record by two yards. Half
back Warren Heller holds the
Pitt mark set against Penn State
in 1930.
There is nothing at stake in.

this traditional; battle except vic
tory itself. Usually, if there were
no bowls at stake, there would
be the local “Big Three Cham
pionship.” However, this title has
been won by the Mountaineers of
West Virginia. The latter school,
which is being considered for the
Sugar Bowl this year, defeated
Pift in its opener 17-7. It edged
the Lions, 20-19.
In the statistics department,
the Panthers have a distinct edge
over the Lions in rushing and
punting. Pitt has a net rushing
of 1628 yards, while Penn State
has 1430. In punting the Panthers
show an average of 38.2 yards
per kick to 32.2 yards per boot
for Penn State.
The passing department, in ad
dition to an overwhelming ad
vantage in total yards gained, has
the Lions far out in front. The
Lions have a better than three
to-one advantage in the touch
down pass category. Pitt quarter
back Henry Ford has completed
all three TD passes. On the other
hand. State’s Rados has passed
for eight and Bobby Hoffman for
two.
In the 52 game series between
Pitt and Penh State, the Panthers
have a wide margin lead. Pitt has
won 30 and Penn State 20—the
other two games terminated in
ties.
If the Nittany Lions win to
day’s contest, it will be the sec
ond consecutive win over the
Panthers the longest winning
streak they have put together over
Pitt since they defeated the Pan
thers in 1941, ’42, and ’43.

Out On a Limb
The Penn State football coaches, led by Joe Paiemo, As-,
sistant Sports Editor Dick McDowell, and staff writer Herm Weis
kopf. battle it out for second place honors in the final Daily
Collegian football prediction contest today.
The trio are tied for second place with a .683 percentage,
a full six games behind leader Sam Procopio, Daily Collegian
Sports Editor, who virtually has the victory in the bag. All three
of the second place contestants disagree with Procopio on four of
today's games, assuring the swami of a contest victory. An ad
vance of six games would be necessary to overtake him.
Procopio has a .733 percentage and an 88-32 record going into
today's games.
A victory in the contest will qualify Procopio for the coveted
Collegian eight-ball award, emblematic of soothsaying supremacy.

Bids
The contests for the mythical national college football cham
pionship and for the very real bowl invitations take on increasing
importance today as the 1953 season nears an end.
Notre Dame and Maryland, one-two in The Associated Press
ranking poll and the only undefeated major teams, are the top con
tenders for the national title. If
they should run into trouble
against lowa and Alabama to
morrow, the ballots of the ex
perts likely would decide the
final standings. It’s very much
the same in the bowl competition,
where various conferences may
have to vote for their represen-J
tatives
Maryland, No. 2, winds up its
regular season against Alabama,
another bowl-conscious team. This
won’t affect Maryland’s ranking
in the Atlantic Coast Conference,
but it still is a question whether
Maryland or Duke will face Ok
lahoma in the Orange Bowl.

other bowls:

eligibles.
Four teams still have chance*
of winning the “host” position ia
the Cotton Bowl game, which goei
to the Southwest Conference
champion.
Texas, which has a slight edge
in the standings, is idle until

Southern Methodist, tied with
Rice for second, meet one an

Texas Christian.

It's the replaceable filter in Medico
that makes the big difference. That
little filter traps dangerous nicotine
and tars, disagreeable juices and flakes.
That’s why countless smokers, begin

enjoyed the pleasures of a pipe, now en
joy the clean mild fragrance of Medico
the pioneer in filtered smoking.
Try a Medico Pipe. See why Medico’s
filter has sold over a billion to date!
