1>&G C si* Gridders Seek 2d Win at Syracuse (Continued from page one) Schwartzwalder fielded the heaviest line in "the east last year and veteran returnees to the forward wall give it almost as much weight today. With seven lettermen' and one newcomer in the fold, it should average about 200 pounds. Engle’s front line measures 220. The Orange, however, will have the edge in backfield weight. Schwartzwalder’s quar tet will tip the scales at 185 pounds per man while the Lions backfield weighs' in at slightly under 180 pounds. Heading Schwartzwalder’s unbalanced T formation offense is hard running Ray Per kins. Perkins moved to right half from end this year and spearheaded the Orange offense against Villanova last week. Halfback Sam Alexander, fullback Bill Wetzel, and quarter back Mickey Rich round out the backfield. • The Orange forward wall will line up with Pete Schwert (210) and Tom Richardson (192) at the ends, Paul Kernaklian (210) and Jerry Cashman(2lo)at the tackles. Cal Smith (188) and Mike Skop (185) will man the guard posts and Paul Slick (195) will be at center. Engle’s line, largely responsible for the Lions’ overwhelming. vic tory at Illinois, will line up with Jesse Amelle and Jim Garrity at ends, Rosey Grier and Otto Kneidinger at the tackles, Earl Shumaker and Pete Petroff at guard, and Frank Reich at center. Quarterback Don Bailey, half backs Lenny Moore and. Ron Younker, and fullback Bill Straub make up his backfield. About 20,000 fans are expected to be on hand for the game, 32nd in a series which has been inter rupted for only one year since 1922. The Lions hold a 14-12 edge and five games have ended in ties.

Game time is slated for 3 p.m. According to frosh mentor Paul Burdan, the contest is the first away-scheduled encounter for th 6 yearlings, since the late forties. “We have a fine group of boys,” said Burdan, “however, the start ing lineup will not be decided un til gametime.” Burdan and his assistant, Jack Carrier, have . a “weeding-out” problem . confronting them. At present, there are two and three men vying for each position, with no slot definitely decided. The frosh eleven received a serious jolt, Wednesday after noon, when Terry Reber, promis ing center-forward, fractured his right arm in a scrimmage. Reber had scored 25 goals in his senior year in high school and gave every evidence of developing in to a standout player. As far as the forward line is concerned, Burdan mentioned sev eral boys as showing promises. However, with such a large turn out, everyone, is still in the run ning.

State College fans who sat in on the weekly Quarterback Club meeting here, got the same treatment from Rip Engle. “Lenny Moore is the equal of any back in the country,” said Mr. Schwartzwalder. • “Ray Perkins is as good as any back in the East,” said Mr. Engle. “Penn State’s victory at Illinois was no fluke,” said Mr. Schwartzwalder. “Syracuse always plays their best ganie against us,” said Mr. Engle. And so it went. These two coaches sure guiding two good ball clubs. Engle's is the better we feel—man-for-man, three touchdowns better. But both respect the terrific difference mental condition can make in the annual battle between the two. The Orange love to beat the. Lions. And Penn State takes great pleasure in whipping Syracuse. But too often the Lions have re garded Schwartzwalder’s team. too' lightly. That was indicative two years ago when a powerhouse Pbnn State team, already victors over Penn, and Nebraska, and later Pitt, lost a stunning 25-7 game to an underdog Syracuse outfit. The Lions muddled everything the'jt did that afternoon. Tony Rados made only 56 yards through, the air. And Lion backs were stymied at the line of scrimmage (they made 45 yards) while the Orange offense went on a rampage. The Lion victory last week at Illinois definitely was no fluke. But as Engle so. aptly put it after'the victory ; “one swallow doesn’t make a summer.” He has built a polished offense around seven good backs and rocking line that has.strength and the depth to keep it fresh, , Now the big problem is to stem, a mysterious tide that seems to surge in, Syracuse every -year about this time. ' ' On paper Syracuse, is a good ball club. The Orange tan away from a iop-nofch Villanova team last week. 27-6, for' their first in of the season, and looked very impressive while doing it., Schwartzwalder lacked an experienced passer, but found that he didn't need passing to win. His backs are big and speedy.'His line is above average in size and packs plenty of drive. , \ However, we feel, that the Lions, rated first in the Lambert Trophy ratings this week, Will have too much for the Orange to match. From end to end, including his two-platooning reserves, Engle has a line that might rank with the best before the season is fihished, ■ Don Bailey, a question .mark at quarterback before last, week, proved himself a deceptive ball handler, sparkling runner, add a more than adequate passer. He made Engle's split T attack click against the Illini. Lenny Moore, Bill Straub, Chuck Blockson, and Hon Younker established themselves last year, and looked just as good last week. If statistics mean anything, the Lions will have to score at least t\fro touchdowns to win. In 47 games under Schwartzwaldery the Orange has been shut out only orice and has currently scored in 24 straight ball games. In fact during the last ten years,: in only one instance, has the winning teams scored less than 20- points in this series. Syracuse owned a 5-3-1 record last year but came within 14 points of an undefeated season. The Lions own six of those. The Orange want this game today and will'be plenty tough. They meet Illinois next Saturday arid would like nothing better than to travel to Champaign in possession of a victory over, the team that beat the Illini. But they’re going to run into too much line and backfield speed today. It could be a close one, but we figure the Lions by at least two touchdowns. Top Cage Attractions Pennsylvania. Navy, West Vir ginia, Pitt, Rutgers, Colgate and Syracuse are' numbered among the top-flight basketball teams which will oppose Penn State at State College during its centen nial celebration in 1955. Penn State and Southern Cali fornia were opponents in the first New Year’s Day football game to be played in the stadium which has since become famous as the Rose Bowl.
