Virginia, Cornel! to Test
Lion Teams Tomorrow
By dick Mcdowell
Penn State and Virginia will dig up a 61-
year-old rivalry, dormant since 1893, when
the two teams meet tomorrow at Beaver
Field. The Lions and the Cayaliers met for
their one and only game at Virginia in Octo
ber of 1893 and the Lions won it 6-0.
However, tomorrow’s contest will be the
first complete game played. The first one was
stopped after ten minutes of the
second half when a riot broke out
on the field
Cavalier coach Ned McDonald,
won’t be looking for any riots to
morrow but he and his southern
squad promise to make a good
bid to knock off the high step
ping Lions, seeking their third
straight win of the season.
Lions Favored
The Nittanies, favored heavily
in this one, will make their home
debut in the wake of two big
wins against Illinois and Syra
cuse. Warm weather has been pre
dicted and a crowd .of about 20,-
000 is expected for the opener.
, The Lions were hampered by
rainy weather all week and got' in
their heavy workout yesterday.
Coach Rip Engle will put the
squad through a light workout
this afternoon and then it will
embark for the now famous
mountain hidaway, “Hate-to-
Leave-it,” until tomorrow morn
ing. L
Engle said yesterday that one
or two changes may be made in
his lineup this week. Chuck Sow
ers will move into the left guard
spot in place- of Pete Petroff, still
nursing a leg injury. Three other
positions are undecided. Either
Don Balthaser or Frank Reich
will be at center and Jim Garrity
or Jack Sherry will handle the
left end duties, and either Bill
Straub or Chuck Blockson will be
at fullback.
Garrity and Balthaser, co-cap
tains, have seen extensive action
in both games, but both players
are still under wraps from early
training injuries. Straub and
Blockson have both seen heavy
work at fullback.
Rest Unchanged
The rest of the Penn State line
up remains unchanged from last
week. Jesse Arnelle will be at
right end, Otto Kneidinger at
right tackle, Earl Shumaker at
right guard, and Rosey Grier at
left tackle.
Lenny Moore and Ron Younker
get the nod at the halfbacks and
Don Bailey will be at quarter
back.
The Virginia squad is sched
uled to arrive in State College at
3 p.m. by bus and will work out
at Beaver Field at 4 p.m. The Vir
ginia party will set up head
quarters at the Penn Belle Hotel
ih Bellefonte.
The game marks the first of
four home contests scheduled for
the Lions. Next week they meet
West Virginia in the homecoming
game, and later return home to
play Rutgers and Holy Cross.
Radio Station WMAJ will
broadcast the game with Bob
Prince doing the play-by-play.
Game time is 2 p.m.

Bell Directs
NFL to Check
Rough Tactics
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7 (/P)—
National Football League Com
missioner Bert Bell today sent a
directive to referees and coaches
in the pro league “reemphasizing”
the uiles governing rough play.
The directive, which 1 Bell or
dered read by referees to their
crew of officials and by coaches
to players said:
“Any use of the forearm, el
bows or knees shall be penalized
under the unnecessary roughness
rule and any striking of an op
ponent of malicious unnecessary
roughness shall be penalized un
der the same rule and the player
disqualified.
The move is an outgrowth of
last Sunday’s 24-24 tie game be
tween the- San Francisco 49ers
ahd the Los Angeles Rams. Forty-
Niners’ supporters charged that
dirty play by the Rams resulted
lii injuries to twd of their players.
Bob Hicks, newly-appointed
Juniata College football coach,
eo-capiained the 1949 Pehn State
football team.
