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. He will end his college
career in the Blue-Gray game at
Montgomery, Ala.
Fleck Picked All-America
Bob Fleck, Syracuse’s 243 pound
guard, has been named to several
all-Ame: elevens and to most
all-East teams. Several other Nit
tany opponents have gained recog
nition. Among those who have
been named to all-East squads are
West Virginia’s Freddie Wyant,
Bob Orders, and Bruce Bosely.
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.

New Paint Job
Recreation Hall is undergoing a
partial brightening up this week
as part of the physical plant’s
year-round maintenance program.
The painting started last week.
The concrete portals are getting
a gray coat and the ceiling around
the concourse is being painted

It is the first time since the
construction of Rec Hall that the
portals have been painted, accord
ing to Charles A. Lamm, super
visor of building maintenance and
operation. The concourse ceiling
was last painted in 1942, Lamm
said.

Writers Blast
W.Va. 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.”
