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.
Don Bailey, a fellow who has come on to be a sparkling
ball handler and runner, will handle the quarterback duties!

Out On a Limb
Another big weekend of football gets under way this afternoon.
And once again the quarter of predictors comprising the Daily. Col
legian’s weekly grid poll have put away their coins and crossed their
fingers in another effort to select the winner and boost their
averages.
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.

PENN STATE Co-Captains, Jim Garrily and Don Balthaser, take
a time out to pose with Head Coach Rip Engle before the Lions
make their initial home stand of the 1954 grid season. A crowd of
20,000 -is expected to invade Beaver Field to witness the Lions'
battle With the undefeated Cavaliers of Virginia this afternoon.
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. Last year the Orange
dropped Colgate 2-0 the only
mutual opponent on the Lion and
Syracuse cards—while Penn State
could manage only a 1-0 overtime
win. 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.
