PAGE SIX All-East Selections Four Lion Gridders Are Homed Four Penn State gridders, Co captain Ton;,’' Rados, Roosevelt Grier, Jim Garrity, and Lenny Moore, were mentioned on several of the all-East elevens selected by various newspapers and maga zines throughout the nation. Collier’s magazine, which con ducts one of the most exhaustive polls in the country, picked Ra dos to fill one of the four back field positions. Rados, who hit the national spotlight with his sen sational passing and quarterback ing cf the Nittany Lions this season, holds almost every passing record in the Penn State record book. Rados also received honorable mention on the Associated Press gridiron squad. Garrity was the only Lion named to the all-East first string by the AP. The Nit tany end played well offensively and defensively, although it was his offensive play which first at tracted attention. Moore, fleet halfback, was given honorable mention in the same poll. Garrity Picked by INS Garrity placed on the all-East squad chosen by the International News Service, while Rados and Moore were named to the second team. Grier was given honorable mention on the Newspaper Edi tors Association team. The Amer ican Football Coaches Association picked Rados as all-East quarter back. Of the four Lions who have been honored so far, only one, Rados, is a senior. The Steelton Slingshot completed 81 of 171 passes for 1025 yards this season. Twelve of his passes were inter cepted and eight went for touch downs. During his three years on the Nittany varsity Rados passed for a grand total of 2437 yards and 18 scores. He set the previous Nit tany high of 997 yards through the air lanes last year in ten games. His new mark, set this year, was accomplished in nine contests.

Dick Deitrick, Pittsburgh, and Jack Shanafelt, Pennsylvania, have also been mentioned. Army Rated First Sn East by Saylor If your choice for the best Eastern .collegiate football team is Army, then you agree with the Saylor rating system which was released yesterday. Dr. Roger B. Saylor, associate professor at the University, who is becoming well-known for his accurate standings rates Army, Navy, Penn State, Harvai'd, and Penn, in that order, as the East’s top five Although Saylor perfected the system while serving in the Pa cific dui’ing World War 11, this is only the second time that he has publicized his collegiate standings. In revealing his 1953 standings, Saylor observes that Army’s final rating (463) is the lowest to be accredited to the Eastern leader in eight years of study and testing. Saylor’s system, which is slowly gaining widespread recognition in high school as well as college i-anks, selects his ratings by a mathematical formula. That is, the relative strength of all opposition and thereafter is determined only, with each team’s fate against that opposition.

Selection Two New Orleans sports editors said in their columns that the Sugar Bowl apparently picked West Virginia as S “safe” opponent for Georgia Tech in the Nfew Year’s Day football game: The third sports editor said the selectors “followed their set policy” of giving all teams “an equal chance for a bowl game.” Both angry sports editors didn’t think much better of Georgia Tech’s selection over three other possible Southeastern Conference teams, Kentucky, Auburn and Mississippi. And both said they believe Tech Coach Bobby Dodd dictated the selection of West Virginia as a “safe” opponent for the Engineers. In Atlanta, Dodd answered, “I had absolutely nothing to do with who was selected. I told the Sugar Bowl committee that anyone they chose would be satisfactory with us. Furthermore, to my know ledge no team has ever told the Sugar Bowl who to select for their opponent. We would be very happy to play anyone they chose.” At Morgantown, W. Va., Coach Art (Pappy) Lewis of the Moun taineers, commented: “We’ll wait and see what hap pens New Year’s Day. We were invited and we accepted. We are tickled to go to the Sugar Bowl. Our boys will make a good show ing.” Glaude was one of the strong est boosters of Texas Tech, a prime contender for the bowl. Bill Keefe of the Times-Pieay une said yesterday’s ’ announce ment of West Virginia’s'selection “was received first with incred ulity and then with astonish ment.” Hap Glaude of the Item' ' sked, “Why the stampede into the quickie executive sessions -to name first Tech and then West Virginia? “What happened to such stal warts as Auburn, Texas, Baylor, Rice and Texas Techc (my heart is breaking) to disqualify them from ‘consideration’ before they had an opportunity to cast their final ballots?”^ All three sports editors said there was doubt that West Vir ginia was in the same :lass with Georgia Tech, or several other possible SEC selections. Harry _ Martinez of the States commented, “no doubt there are many who don’t think the Moun taineers played the schedule to warrant the selection . . . We’ve seen other teams when the selec tion didn’t make a big hit, yet on New Year’s Day these teams really proved worthy of the con fidence placed in them by the Sugar Bowlers ... It can happen again.” NEW College Diner Freezer-Fresh Ice Cream ' Good Food i Between The Movies 5-2-2 296 3-5-1 395 5-4-0 381 4-5-0 372 7-0-0 364 Lenny Moore Sterling Halfback By the Associated Press Made -- - , , , t Jim Garrity Versatile End Chisox Sign Marty Marion As Coach ATLANTA, Ga„ Nov. 30 (JP)— Marty Marion, who managed the last place St. Louis Browns in 1953, has been signed as coach of the Chicago White Sox, it was announced tonight.
