Lions Crush
Holy Cross
For sth Win
By DICK McDOWELL
Lenny Moore an d Ron
Younker, two foot-loose half
backs who have done a lot)of
traveling with a football, bare
ly worked up a lather Satur
day afternoon, but the fluid
pair still managed • to score
four of six Penn State touch
downs and cover 232 yards a`s
Penn State waltzed nonchal
antly to a 39-7 win against a
very outclassed Holy Cross
team.
Moore, now on the doorstep of
the all-America circle, played
only 25 minutes but carried for
126 yards in nine tries to bring
his season rushing total up to
843 yards, a new Penn State rush
ing record. He broke a 42-year-old
mark previously held by- E. E.
"Shorty" Miller.
The Reading Flash scored from
56 and 16 yards out, and in the
third period provided the death
sting to a team that, for the first
few minutes of the game, looked
like it might make a battle of it.
But the Crusaders, limping from
injuries, sustained in five losing
ball games, just couldn't contain
the overpowering Lions.
Rip Engle could have doubled
the score had he wished, but he
chose to let his reserves play and
for the most of the second half
he used his third and fourth teams
against the Crusaders. In all, the
Lions drove for 507 ° yards-405
on the ground and 102 in the air.
And, defensively Engle's rugged
line held the Crusaders to a -32
yards on the ground. In the• ap.r,
however, quarterbacks John Ste
phens and Tom Roberts completed
21 of 47 passes for 211 yards.

However, the tack taken by the
Russians in their countering note
was one of absolute innocence.
Moscow said its fighter planes in
tercepted the American ship to
ask it to leave Soviet territory
but "the American aircraft opened
fire on them."
"In view of this unprovoked ac
tion of the Am,prican intruder,"
the Russian note said, the Soviet
aircraft were compelled to retali
ate the fire, after which the Amer
ican aircraft left the air space of
the Soviet Union and flew off in
a southerly direction."
One airman,, -2nd Lt. Sigfredo
Angulo of Los Angeles, was
drowned in the Saturday shooting
when he became ensnared in his
parachute, and 10 others para
chuted to safety.
President Eisenhower broke in
to a speech at Boston to take
note of the incident. The Presi
dent told the National Conference
of Catholic Women that free
world strength was growing in

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Group to Consider
For Comprehensive
Recommendations which would require all students to
take comprehensive examinations in several areas of general
education before being graduated will face a special meeting
of the University Senate today.
Senate will be asked to approve this general educational
program, but will not deal with the actual details of the
exams, Adrian 0. Morse, Univer
sity Provost, said last night.
Approval of the forms of the
exams has not been determined
yet.
, The report originally came be
fore Senate on Oct. 7, but was
referred to today's special meet
ing.
The objective of the plan, ac
cording to the report, is to deter
mine by means of comprehensive
exams as administered and eval
uated by an examining board, the
competency of each baccalaureate
degree student in several areas
of general education.
The report will be submitted by
the Senate Committee on Educa
tional Policy's subcommittee on
general education.
To determine the competency
of each entering freshman or
transfer student, the subcommit
tee recommended that they, as
well as all students, be given
exams in the following three
areas of objectives.
The first of the objectives would
be "to foster effective listening
and speaking, and to develop
reading and writing skills as aids
to organized productive reason
ing."
Recommendations to meet this
objective would be to adminis
ter the appropriate exams in the
sixth semester and prescribe
remedial courses and necessary
subsequent exams according to
needs demonstrated by results
in the examination.
The second objective is "to de
velop skill in elementary compu
tation and the ability to think
quantitatively as aids to organ
ized, productive reasoning."
The sub co m mittee recom
mended that an exam be given
in the third semester and it
prescribed a remedial course and
necessary subsequent exams if
needed.
