(don't be surprised if both players are drafted at- the professional's
Winter meetings, although they have another year's eligibility} . . .
that the 77-yard run from scrimmage by halfback - Dick Jones
against Boston U. has been tabbed as the second longest in modern
Penn Slate football history .. . that it would have been an all-time
record but the officials claimed he stepped <iut of bounds, although
the movies show he didn't ...
The guard Pete Schoderbek and Rados will play on Coach Rip
Engle’s squad for the Blue-Gray post season football, game at Mont

totaled 10,079 scoring points against its opponents, while its adver
saries are short of the 5000 goal by 25 points.
