Pennsylvania
By dick McDowell
Winless Pennsylvania, a team that has taken
plenty of lumps, this season, isn’t going to be a
pushover for Rip Engle’s Lions Saturday at Frank
lin Field.
At least that’s the way assistant coach J. T.
White is looking at it. White drew the Penn scout
ing assignment and says the Quakers aren’t as
bad as their record indicates.
“They’re hungry in Philadelphia,” he said, “and
they’re going to beat somebody before the season
is over. I sure hope it isn’t us.
“This team isn’t as bad as it may seem on pa
per,” he said. “It’s basically the same ball club
that beat us last year. They just haven’t had the
breaks and have been unable to get moving.”
'Never Stop Fighting'
“But they never stop fighting. They can be be
hind by 50 points and they’ll never give up. I saw
them within five points of George Washington
after trailing 20-0 at the end of the first half. They
lost it 32-27 but they put up a terrific second half
fight,” White, said.
Coach Steve Sebo, who moved into Philadel
phia from Michigan Sttae, hasn’t been able to find
the winning combination yet with his “multiple”
offense. The multiple system, a Biggie Munn trade
mark, works behind an unbalanced line, using the
T, winged-T, and single wing formation.
Lineup Changes Reported
Sebo reported yesterday that he is benching two
of his regulars Saturday in an effort to snap the
Quakers out of the doldrums. Veteran halfback
Walt Hynoski, who starred at left half last year,
but who has failed to reach previous form this sea
son, will be replaced, and right end John Lavin
will also sit this one out.
Hynoski is a familiar name to fans who were

East's Best; Sees Army Losing
Despite the fact Coach Mark Randall had just seen his team shutout 6-0 and his three-game win
ning streak broken Penn State’s undefeated soccer squad, the congenial New Yorker coach had sev
eral interesting remarks about the Lions after last Saturday’s game.
When asked if he thought Penn State’s soccermen were the tops in the East, Randall thought for
a minute and said, “Well, I haven’t seen too much of the Eastern teams —but of those I’ve seen your team
is definitely superior.”
Randall was particularly high
in his praise for Penn State’s all
around depth and playing skills.
But the Raider’s coach did not
pin-point his opinions on the
Lions offensive and defensive
game. When Randall was asked
which he thought did the most
damage to his team he said, “They
both did. Penn State’s defense was
excellent and that offense was
superb.”
Sees Lions as Victors
Then Randall answered the $64
question. Did he think Penn State
could beat Army possibly the
toughest team on the Lions’
schedule this year? Randall caifae
back with a quick and confident,
“Yes.”
“If comparative scores 'mean
anything,” Randall said, “which
they, sometimes do or don’t, we
defeated RPI (Renneselaer Poly
technic Institute), 1-0, in a double
overtime. Army shutout RPI, 3-0.
“I consider RPI as being in the
same class as Colgate. If this is
true, then Army should have de
feated RPI much easier than the
score indicates if it "(Army) has
such a strong team.”
Will Meet Saturday
The question of whether Army
has the team that can tame the
rampaging Lions again this year
will be answered Saturday when
the West Pointers visit Penn
State.
Army, however, will have to
defrost the torrid pace the Lions
have been setting this year in
'nailing goals into their opponents’
nets. In their last four wins the
Lion soccermen have netted 34
goals—an average of better than
eight goals a game.
The one weak link in the Lions’
formula for a strong victory chain
may be the defense. So far the
opponents have netted four goals

around lor Penn’s 13-7 win against, the Lions last
year. The big senior, a triple-threat back, passed
for both touchdowns against the Lions. However,
he has fallen down this year in everything but his
punting. He’s fifth in the nation in that category.
Hynoski will be replaced by Gary Scott, a regu
lar last year, who ironically, was on the receiving
end of both touchdown heaves. Scott had been
sidelined with a dislocated shoulder.
Junior Bob Lebengood, a regular for part of
last season, will move into Lavin’s spot on the
line.
Sebo’s biggest offensive threat this season has
been sophomore halfback Neil Hyland. The 180-
pounder will shift to left halfback Saturday and
Scott will run from the right half slot.

The Penn backfield rounds out with quarterback
Joe another sophomore, and fullback
Stan Chaplin. Both players weigh 183 pounds.
On the line, captain Jim Castle will team with
, Lebengood at the ends. Castle goes at 190 pounds.
Howard Jackson (216) and Fred Dustin (219) will
be at the tackles. Jon Gurskie (220) and Bob Kin
lock (205) at the guards, and George Trautman
(198) at center.
Seven members of Sebo’s first team are letter
men and all seven saw action against the Lions
last year. j
Early attendance estimates put Saturday’s crowd
at 45,000, and an expected four million people will
see the game on a nation-wide television hookup.
The Lions will be looking for their 14th win in
the 43rd game of the series that began in 1890.
This will be the third time that an Engle-coached
team faced the Quakers. The Lions won the 1952
game under him, 13-7, and lost last year by the
=ame score.

Moord Again
Nation's-No. 3
Ball-Carrier
Nittany Lion halfback Lenny
Moore, continued to keep his
name in top contention for post
season all-American honors this
week, by ranking number three
in rushing among the nation’s
leading ball-carriers.
He also jumped from the 19th
place he held last Week to 12th
in total offense.
According to figures released by
the National Collegiate Athletic
Bureau, the Reading flash gained
his third place position for the
second straight week on five-game
total of 574 yards in 84 carries for
a 6.8 yard average. 4
Although his place in the rank
ings did not change, Moore actual
ly gained ground on his two fore
runners, Arizona’s Ike Luppino
and Colorado’s Bob Bayuk.
A week- ago Moore was 142
yards behind Luppino and 103
short of Bayuk’s mark. The latter
has one more game to his credit
than the Nittany standout.
To date, Moore has been the
workhorse for Penn State. Only
split quarterback-Don Bailey has
carried the ball more times. As a
whole "the Lions have run 310
plays this year, with Bailey carry
ing on 97 of them, compared'to
Moore's 84.
