Nittanies Have Weight Edge, Given 3 Touchdown Spread (Continued from, page one) However, a bigger Penn State line, well proven against two clubs of top-drawer calibre, may be the difference. The Lion forward wall will probably weigh in at 220 pounds per man while the Virginians should average about 205. Meanwhile, Coach Rip Engle will throw ,a powder-keg backfield against the Cavaliers that has both speed and power to spare. Halfback Lenny Moore, conceded to be the best break-away runner in the east, and tricky Ron Younker, will handle the outside duties, while either Bill Straub or Charlie Blockson will get the call at fullback.

Out On a Limb Another big weekend of football gets under way this afternoon. And once again the quarter of predictors comprising the Daily.

Lion coach, Rip Engle, has sent the third member of his staff, Jim O’Hora, into today’s'fray in hopes of regaining-the lead for the coaches. The master-minds of the Nittany Lion gridders initiated the contest three weeks ago by taking over first.place with ease. But, for them anyway, last week’s games proved to be nothing short of a Waterloo, and the coaches fell into a second place tie.

Booters Toughest Tests Yet to Come Although Penn State mauled Bucknell in the season opener, 14-1, Coach Ken Hosterman knows his veteran squad will not be able to rest on its record-breaking laurels stacked up against the Bisons. Penn State faces a rough rOad during the next seven weeks. And a glance at the Lions’ schedule | shows why. Wednesday the Lions meet Maryland which always poses an offensively-minded squad. The' Terps racked up 41 goals com pared to the opponents’ 16 last season. Only Penn State and John Hopkins University were able to defeat Maryland last year, when the Terps posted an 8-2 record Syracuse is a newcomer to the Lions’ card.

The Orange posted a 4-2-1 record in edging its opponents in scoring, 14-12. Colgate will be the only breath er for Penn State—if it has one. Colgate failed to win a game last season and scored only four times with a 0-4-3 record. ' Navy and Army along with Temple—are considered the “big ger boys” in the collegiate soccer realm. Army edged the Lions 4-3 last year handing them one of their two losses. The Cadets” had the second-best record of Penn State opponents with an 8-1-1 card. Like Maryland, Army boasted a high geared . offensive team which scored 35 goals. Last fall the Penn State-Navy match was snowed out. In nine other games, however, Navy broke its precedent of having a win- By hoy Williams ning team by .posting a meager 3-5-1 record. Maryland, Penn, and 'Army handed the Swabbies three of their five defeats. Penn State will end its season with a road trip to Philadelphia to meet Temple and finally Penn. Temple was the terror, of colle giate ‘soccer last fall. The Owls rolled up 60 goals in winning nine straight games. The Lions'' and Haverford were the only ' teams that held the high-scoring Owls to only two goals.
