Arizona's Art Lupino maintains his national rushing leadership again this week but
Penn State's halfback speedster Lenny Moore is just one step behind him as collegiate foot
ball moves into its final weeks•
Lupino, who has led the running parade every week but one, has 917 yards from scrim
mage while Moore trails with 843.
Lightning Lenny trailed the Wildcat ace by 175 yards before last Saturday but moved to
within 74 yards of first place with a 126-yard total against Holy Cross while Lupino'
got only 25 against Texas Tech.
Lupino suffered a head injury Saturday and, although he is expected to play, he may
see only limited duty this week. •
However, he has three more
games to play while Penn State
has only two. Arizona plays a ten
gatne schedule.
Ninth in Total Offense
Despite his fine yardage pro
duction Saturday, the Lion flash
dropped one place in the total of
fense division. He is ninth in that
department.
Teamwise Penn State' moved up
to the number six spot in rushing
yardage. Their 405 yards against
the Crusaders gave them a total
of 1950 rushing yards and 2426
total yards gained'which is enouo,ll
to put Rip Engle's squad in the
15th slot among the nation's total
offensive leaders.
Defensively the Lions are ninth
in the nation. They've allowed op
ponents only 723 rushing yards.
Their best day was Saturday
when they held Holy Cross to a
-32 on the group-1.
Could Break Two Records
Moore, probably the most ex
citing runner in Penn State his
tory, has a three-fold job ahead
of him Saturday when Penn State
meets Rutgers University in the
final home game of the season.
The Lion swiftie is within reach
of two more Penn State records
and of course, he might catch up
with Lupino.
Moore needs only 188 yards
more to break the Penn State total
offensive mark and three touch
dolitrns to better the touchdown
record for one season. He'll prob
ably top both eventually.
Lupino Has Edge
However, catching Lupino is a
bigger job. With an extra game
edge, the Arizona back appears
to be a pretty good bet to hold
on to his lead.
Penn State's game with the
Scarlet will mark the sixth meet
ing between the two schools. The
Lions hold a 4-1 edge in the ser
ies, which had its origin in 1918.
Last year Rip Engle's team scored
a 54-26 victory after trailing 13-0
at one point in the first half.

Forfeit Costly
To IM Swimmers
Sigma Pi and Alpha Chi Rho
were all set to enter a victory
deciding final event in intramural
swimming last night at Glenn
land Pool, when the latter was
forced to forfeit, giving Sigma Pi
a 25-16 win the easy way. In
other meets, Phi Kappa Tau out
swam Phi Delta Theta, 24-13, and
Delta Sigma Phi drowned Theta
Delta Chi, 30-6.
Although Sigma Pi had taken
firsts in the free, back, and breast
stroke events and also in diving,
Alpha Chi Rho managed to gath
er all the seconds and thirds and
trailed, 20-16, heading into the re
lay. It was discovered, however,
that Alpha Chi Rho did not have
enough men to compete, and the
event and victory went to Sigma
Pi.
Forfeit wins in diving and the
relay event plus first place swim
ming by Duke Miller and Bill
Kiser led the Delta Sigs to their
easy win.

Four Teams
Advance in
IM Action
Two fraternity and two inde

scoring. A few minutes later Walt
Laska hit John Pepe on a 40-
yard pass for the second and last
TD of the game.
Score On 2nd Play
In the second independent game
of the evening, McKee Barfers
scored on the second play in an
overtime period to cap. a ,close,
but hard fought victory. The so
called score came when the Bar
fers crossed into their opponents
territory on a circus catch by Bill
Gallagher.
Phi Delta Theta, showing a
strong offense and a good de
fense, squeezed by "never say die"
Phi Gamma Delta, as Frank Di-
Salle and Ted Potter combined to
score all the first downs. Phi Delt
had three first downs to the op
position's one.
Pass Good For Score
In the final contest Phi Kappa
defeated Tau Kappa Epsilon on
a first half TD pass from Bill
Smith to Bill McCann. TKE ac
quired its only points when Jack
Gruber caught John Kunda in
the endzone for a safety.
In semi-final action tonight
Delta Sigma Phi plays Sigma Pi,
Dorm 27 meets Pollock 4, The
Fireballs take on the McKee Bar
fers, and Phi Delta Theta battles

creasing crowds has prevailed
throughout Eastern foot b a 11

Seventh
Penn State's cross-country team will be, gunning for its
seventh Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of
America crown Monday at Van Cortlandt Park, N.Y.
Although the first IC4A cross-country title race was held
in 1908, Penn State did not win the crown until 1926. How
ever, the Lions won the title i the next two years; and' then,
after losing to Penn in 1929, copped it again the following
season.
Cornell won the first four
dale championship race, and, af
ter winning the title again in 1913,
retired the first cup. A team must
win Elie legs on the trophy in
order to gain permanent posses
sion.
Spartans Rettr,e Cup
lylichigan State retired the sec
ond cup, Winning the title five
consecutive seasons-1933-37.
Rhode Island, Manhattan, and
Michigan State have each won
three IC4A title races since the
third cup was put up in 1938.
Michigan State is the defending
titlist this year. The Spartans
copped the crown in 1952 and
1953.
Cornell has won the champion
ship nine times, more than any
other team. Michigan State is
second with eight victories, and
the Lions are third with six.
Penn State owns two legs on
the present cup, having won in
1950 and 1951. In 1952 the Nittany
harriers finished fourth, and last
year they moved up one notch to
third.
This season the Lions' chances
of winning are dim. But Penn
Two Overtime Contests
Highlight IM Case Play
Two overtime contests high
lighted the intramural basketball
program Tuesday night.
The Helenic Club jumped off to
a 14-5 halftime lead over the Mibs,
but the latter squad came back
strongly in the second half and
caught up as the final buzzer
sounded, 18-18:
In the two minute overtime
that followed, Ernest Kanes
swished the nets to give the Hel
enic Club at 20-18 victory.
The other game was even more
dramatic. The McElwain Men
bounced back from a 14-9 half
time deficit to tie the Pershing
Rifles, 22-22 as regulation time
ran out.
Led by John Bateman, who
scored 11 points, ,the McElwain
Men kept up with the Rifles and
Were deadlocked, 24-24, at the end
of the first overtime. The second,
or sudden death, overtime—first
team to score a goal wins—sent
the McElwain Men off the floor
with a 26-24 victory. Andrew Lo
gan and Charles Bowman paced
the losers with six points each.
The Delta Sigs were the fastest-
