May lop Record Saturday;
Is 2d in National Rushing Group
Lenny Moore, a red-hot rocket in a football uniform, is
just one step from another new record this week, and should
get it Saturday when Penn State takes on Holy Cross at
Beaver' Field.
Moore, currently the leading runner in the east and num
ber two in the nation, is just 84 yards short of the Penn State
rushing mark set by Harrisburg school master k, . E. (Shorty)
Miller at Penn State in 1928.
Moore had 717 yards from
scrimmage in six games and needs
802 to surpass Miller's mark. He's
currently averaging 119 a game,
so barring injury or a bad day,
which doesn't seem likely against
the Crusaders, the Reading Flash
is a pretty good bet to step into
the Penn State record book.
Moves to 2d Spot
Moore's 143' yards against Penn
last Saturday—his best day of the
season—jumped him from third
to second in the national rushing
race. He moved ahead of Al Bay
uk of Colorado and now trails
Arizona's Art Lupino by 175 yards.
Lupin°, with 892 yards, has car
ried 105 times while the Lion
swiftie has 99 carries.
Lightning Lenny is also run
ning eighth among the nation's
total offensive leaders, and holds
a comfortable lead on eastern
backs in the race for the sec
tional honors. Army's Tom Bell
has collected 660 yards and holds
down the second place slot.
Leads Lions
Moore, of course, has been the
biggest gainer for the Lions. He
and wingback Billy Kane, who
ran for 130 yards against Penn,
played the biggest role in mov
ing the Lions into the 10th spot
this week among the country's
rushing leaders. Rip Engle's club
has gained 1545 yards in six
games.
- .
The Lions, hampered by a snow
covered practice field for the last
two days, are priming for their
fifth win this Saturday when the
Crusaders come to town for the
annual band day spectacle at Bea
ver Field.
Crusaders Respected
Coach Eddie Anderson is hav
ing one of his worst seasons at
the New England college but de
spite a 1-5 record Holy Cross is
a highly respected team. It
knocked off previously anbeaten
Boston University two weeks ago
and gave highly ranked Miami a
run for its life before losing 26-20
last week.
The Lions are anticipating the
heaviest air game of the season
from the Crusaders, ,::urrently
sporting over '7OO yards through
the air. Last week Anderson's
three passers—Jon Stephens, Bill
Smithers, and Tom Rob ert s—
threw over forty passes in a los
ing cause to Syracuse.
The Crusaders run from the
straight T formation and occa
sionally employ an unbalanced
line.

A double-barreled type of attack has sky-rocketed the chances
of Penn State's soccer team for chalking up its first unbeaten cam
paign in six years, and its first under Coach Ken Hosterman..
During the past few weeks, Penn State's offensive and defensive
strategy has been tested by five teams. And each time, the Lions
have commanded a significant margin to defeat each squad to
boast an undefeated and untied
season's card.
Penn State's offense has been
ripping the nets all season for a
total of 39 goals in five kames—
an average of almost eight scores
a game. If the Lions can continue
this rapid pace in their next three
games they are sure to pass Tem
ple, 1953 National Champs, which
scored 60 goals in nine contests.
Dick Packer, junior' center for
ward, has already passed his 1953
scoring mark of 11 goals in seven
games by scoring 16 goals in 1954's
first five games. The scoring rec
ord is held-by Packer's teammate,
Captain Jack Pinezich, who scored
23 goals two years ago.
But the Lions' offense has not

been commanding the spotlight
entirely thus far. Penn State has
succeeded in doing what every
team tries to do—to get a de
fense and an offense that are
equally balanced and effective.
Fullbacks Paul Dierks and Gal-
en Robbins, and goalie George
Geczy, in addition to the play
of the halfbacks, have served as

State's_itronghold around the net.
In five games five goals h.ave
been scored against_ the Lions.
Syracuse was the only team to
score more than one when it net
