Lions Outplay ICO
But Drop 2d, 20-7
If statistics could determine the outcome of a football game,
Penn State might own a 4-1 record today instead of its 3-2 chart.
But Saturday’s frustrating battle with Texas Christian was decided
on 100 yards of Texas turf and they still pay off on points scored.
The Horned Frogs 20-7 victory over Rip Engle’s gridders at Fort
Worth’s Amon Carter Stadium has to stand as is, despite the fact
that the Texans were outgained
and generally outplayed by the
Nittany Lions.
But it was a team that knew
how to take advantage of the
breaks and turned a fumble. (one
of five), a blocked kick, and an
intercepted pass into touchdowns,
while the Lions saw several scor
ing chances fizzle when the cards
were laid on the table.

Defense Plan OK
Predicted by Dulles
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (#>)— Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, speaking at the first televised presidential Cabinet meeting
in history, tonight predicted ratification of the new Western Europe
defense plan and forecast failure for Soviet attempts to smash it.
Reporting in intimate fashion to President Dwight D. Eisen
hower, other members of the Cabinet and the nation at large,
Dulles said the Paris conference
which produced the alliance agree
ments had to succeed “because the
price of failure had become pro
hibitive.”
With Eisenhower seated at his
side in the White House Cabinet
room, Dulles—just back from Par
is—expressed confidence that each
of the nations which signed the
agreements will ratify them

STATE COLLEGE PA.. TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 26. 1954
By dick McDowell
A partisan crowd of 17,000 held
down by. threatening rain, saw the
fayored Frogs score two quick
touchdowns late in the first per
iod and another in the fourth,
while the Lions went scoreless
until only 47 seconds remained in
the game.
The Lions pounded the Frogs
for 20 first downs during the con
test, allowing only 10, and gath
ered in 285 yards offensively
while Abe Martin’s club accounted
for 214.
Again it was Lenny Moore who
played the biggest part in keep
ing the erring Lions in the game.
He ran for 109 yards, bringing
his season total to 574 in five
games, and scored Penn State’s
only tally when he snagged quar
terback Bobby Hoffman’s 29 yard
pass in the TCU endzone.
Hoffman Engineers Drive
Hoffman, who hadn’t been in a
game since Illinois, was another
hero in defeat Saturday. He engi
neered a 78-yard drive late in the
third period, and had charge when
State finally crossed the goal line
in the fourth quarter.
He, Don Bailey, and Milt Plum,
combined for 12 pass completions
in 23 attempts for 125 yards in
the best aerial day for the Lions
this season. Hoffman hit on four
of five tosses.
But, even with all their ground
power and passing prowess, the
Nittanies didn’t have it when it
counted Saturday, and in the
meantime, they handed the Frogs
their.scores.

“Then there may be a new basis

White House was a chatty, inti

the new agreements would be
“quite comparable and equally ef

Lonergors
Financial
Approximately 200 members of Local 417, Building Service
Employees International, Friday night heard Robert P. Lonergan,
international representative, refute the charges leveled by members
of Local 67, State, County, and Municipal Employees International,
Martin Hellz, chief accountant for the State, County, and Muni
cipal Employees group, reported i
that $2218.22 in union funds was
unaccounted for during the first
seven months of this year.
He based his charge on five
points:
1. During the period from Jan
uary to July, the union deposited
on account $3404.07. According to
Hellz’ figures, deposits should
have totaled $4271.50. He based
his figures on the dues and mem
bership fees which should have
been collected during this period.
Lonergan called the difference
“perfectly logical” because of the
fact that during the. months of
June, July, August, and most of
September, there is no school and
the union membership is cut al
most in half.
Deposit of $44.40
2. During September, the un
ion’s income showed a deposit of
$44.40. Hellz said that assuming
the union operated normally dur
ing September, $572.25 should
have been collected. He based his
A half-holiday fear Satur
day’s football game with the
University of Pennsylvania
was declared by special action
of the University Council of
Administration yesterday,
Lawrence Dennis, secretary of the
council and administrative assis
tant to the president, announced.
As a result of this action, there
will be no classes Saturday morn
ing.

The half-holiday action grew
out of a recommendation from
All-University Cabinet last Thurs
day night. In declaring a half-hol-
Over 2700 tickets are still
available for Saturday's Penn
Staie-Pennsylvania football
game, according to Edward
Czekaj, athletic association as
sistant business manager.
Twenty-five hundred seats,
which are allocated to the Uni
versity, are located in the lower
north stands, running goal line
to goal line. Two-hundred and
forty are in the west stands.
The latter were made available
by special request of the ticket
office.
iday, the council noted with ap
proval the stipulations that were
incorporated into the cabinet pro
posal. These were:
1. There will be no other ap
peal from cabinet this semester
regarding football holidays.
2. Class hours will be made up
as specified by the individual in
structor.
3. A series of steps will be taken
by various student leaders and
organizations to assure orderly
conduct by University students
attending the Penn game in Phila
delphia.
In regard to the first stipula
tion, there will be no possibility
of obtaining another half-holiday
for the game with the University
of Pittsburgh, the only other away
game. It was brought out in cabi
net before the Penn half-holiday
was recommended that the holi
day be requested for the Pitt game
instead.
Class hours must be made up
at the discretion of the individual
instructors. In previous half-holi
days, students were not required
to make up the classes.
Request Orderly Conduci
Steps will be taken by various
student leaders and organizations
to assure orderly conduct by stu
dents at the game, John. Speer,
All-University vice president, said.
Speer stated that appeals to the
students for orderly conduct in
Philadelphia this weekend will be
made through Thursday’s pep
rally, the Interfraternity Council,
and editorials in the Daily Colle
gian.
The football half-holiday was
declared for the Pitt game last
year. The holiday was dropped
this year because of the calendar

estimate on dues which he said
should have been collected from
375 members, the average for the
past seven months.
Lonergan said the reason only
$44.40 was collected during Sep
tember was because a large part
of the membership had paid their
dues after it had been voted to
disaffiliate with Local 67. He said
it was voted to use the money
collected during September to pay
dues to the Building Service Em
ployees organization.
Bonds Found Missing
3. After the split in the union,
at least $5OO worth of govern
ment bonds were found missing.
l£ Lonergan said that the bonds
supposedly” missing were pur
chased during 1943, 1944, and
1945. He said they had all ma
tured and the funds were re
deposited to the account of Local
67.
