By FRAN FANUCCI Rho and Phi Kappa tangled heads in a game full of spectacular plays. For the whole first half the teams battled to gain'ground, but the alert defense of both of them failed to give an inch. Steve Frank, of Alpha Chi Rho, was a thorn in the side of Phi Kappa during the whole encounter, along with Jack Metzer who proved to be just as bad against Alpha Chi. Rho.: • • After a scoreless first half Ken William, of Alpha Chi Rho, caught Newk Grub in the end zone for •the initial score of the game. But not to be denied, Phi Kappa fought back and" on the kickoff, Bob Misko, standing on-his own 15 yaVd line threw to Jim Ross and Ross scampered the rest of the distance for the score.

PENNSYLVANIA Doug Moorehead Top Lion Runner Sensational Score on Cornell’s new 4.7- mile course, 26:16.6 earlier this year. Texas Given Edge Over Oklahoma By Associated Press Oklahoma and. Texas, two,; of most potent football teams in" the southwest, if not in the entire na tion, meet today in the 49th game of an old and colorful series. And th*. result could leave the na tional rankings as. thoroughly scrambled as Oklahoma’s lineup has been since Gene Calame got hurt. Oklahoma was awarded the No. 1 spot on the national list this Week by the sports writers and broadcasters voting in the Asso ciated Press ranking poll after Notre Dame, the former leader, took a tumble.. Texas, in spite of a loss to Notre Dam e, collected enough points for 15th place. Calame, •a. clever, experienced quarterback, suffered a cracked collar bone in Oklahoma’s game against Texas Christian two weeks ago. That could be called a Calame-ity. The Sooners never have lost a game. Calame. started at quarterback, and' his replace ment, a 164-pound sophomore, Jimmy Harris,’isn’t his equal at faking,’ ball handling, and read ing the enemy defenses. As a result of all this and of the strength of the Texas line, the odds-makers have disregarded the ratings and installed Texas as a slight favorite. Wisconsin-Rice is the nationally televised game of the week and, for once, the screen watchers can’t complain that they were short changed by the selection. They’re third, and 11th in the AP ratings, respectively, and. offer a feud be tween two of the season’s best publicized backs, explosive Dicky Moegle of Rice, and Wisconsin’s crashing Alan Ameche. Purdue-Duke brings together the fifth and sixth teams in the AP poll. It' was Stu Holcomb’s Boilermakers and sophomore passer Len Dawson who deflated Notre Dame las't week. Today, Duke, with four able flingers in its starting backfield and one of the nation’s best pass deefnse rec ords, is primed to do a little de flating. ended with the Mustangs leading. The second half was scoreless with the Mustangs threatening often but not'being able to score. From This Angle... SATURDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK The Penn State-Virginia football series, has a very short, but interesting history. The two teams have played only one previous game and that one ended rather abruptly late in the third period after players, fans, and coaches mixed it up m the middle of the Play Tlfe contest took place in October of 1893—not too many years after the "University entered the sport on an intercollegiate level. The University of Virginia student newspaper, College Topics, described it this way: ", . . the game can only be described with great difficulty. One fact stands out clear and distinct, however. The slugging was simply terrific on both sides, and the game came to an abrupt and sudden germination soon after the second half had begun partly in consequence thereof. ~ ' ~ “It was really a disgraceful scene and a hard blow to the honor of our University that a visiting team’should be treated in such a manner . . . the whole affair is to be deeply deplored and the only redeeming feature was the action of giving Penn State not only the game but also a most humble and sincere apology ... We can not blame captain Brown for refusing to continue the game . In those days there were no seating stands for spectators and ' when the trouble broke out on the playing field, everybody joined in. Well, the Virginia "rivalry" was discontinued after that year and today the two schools play again after a 81-year lapse. This one today by all. odds should be the easiest or the first three for the Lions. Virginia hasn’t shown anything exceptional in its first two games, although it won them both. The-Lions, on the other hand, have held the winning hand against two fine football teams utalizing power, speed, balance, and depth in both games. Rip Engle’s line continues to improve and his backfield alignment (he has eight men of first class ability) is as good or better than any in the east. However, they can't let up for a minute. There isn't a team on” the remainder of the schedule that isn't capable of throwing a hard punch some Saturday afternoon, and that most certainly includes Virginia. The Cavalier line is big and the backs are fast and threatening. Virginia could be a sleeper, although it doesn’t seem likely. The Lions are taking them as they come and this one looks like it should come without too much trouble. From here it looks like Penn State by four touchdowns. Ex-Chaplain Dies in Conn. The Rev. Dr. Frazer Metzger, who served from 1923 until 1925 as chaplain at Penn State, died early this summer at South Wind sor, Conn., at the age of 81. Dr. Metzger, a native of Glov ers ville, N.Y., attracted wide at tention 50 years ago when he suc cessfully urged the merger of the Christian Church and the Con gregational Church in Randolph, Vt.

He was defeated in the election, but in 1917 was elected to the Vermont legislature.'
