A few have given the Pan thers a one point edge but con sensus has the two clubs all even for the annual season finale at Pitt Stadium. Five weeks ago it was all Penn State when one thought of Penn sylvania's football power, but over the Jungle Cats, Pitt's stock since Captain Tom Hamilton took has soared. The Panthers have come on to be the Cinderella team of the east with four victories in their last five games. Led by a host of sophomores, the Panthers dumped Nebraska last Saturday to bring the sea son mark up to 4-5. Hamilton has found depth in every posi tion, and has substituted freely since he took charge of the club. His "shock troop" system has been generally regarded as the reason for the Panthers' recent success. Corney Salvaterra, whom the Lions wanted for their own last year, and Darrel Lewis, both sophomores, have solved a quar terback problem that has plagued Pitt for two seasons. Salvaterra spurred the Panthers to wins against West Virginia, Navy, and Northwestern. Then Lewis took over last week and led Hamilton's team to a 21-7 win against Ne braska. The big man however, is de pendable Henry Ford, whom Lion assistant coach Earl Bruce calls the "best defensive halfback in the county and a very workman like halfback on offense." Bruce, who handled the bulk a the Pitt scouting for Lion coach Rip Engle, is convinced that the Panthers are a far bet ter team than their 4-5 record indicates. Their big asset has been a strong line led by tackles 'Lou Palatella and Eldred Kraemer, two 200-plus workhorses who have been killers up front all year. With Ford in the tailback spot Pitt has been primarily a run ning team this season. The Pan thers have thrown 96 passes in nine games completing only 29 for 445 yards. Salvaterra is the indi vidual leader with 18 completions in 54 heaves. Ford, however, is the work horse of the team. The speedy halfback has carried 85 times for 277 yards and has thrown 14 passes completing only one. Salvaterra is second in the run ning department with 255 yards in 62 tries. The Panthers will be out to break a hold that the Lions have taken in the last two meetings. Rip Engle's teams 'have beaten Pitt by identical 17-0 scores in the last two seasons. The Pan thers hold a 31-20 edge in the all time series. Two games ended in ties.

Without that goal the soccermen would be tied with the record of 41 goals scored by the 1952 squad in nine games. As it now stands the Lions have established a new mark with 42 goals—in only seven games. Although the freak score has given the Lions the margin they need to snap the two-year-old record, there was a strong pos sibility that they would have eventually cracked the 1952 rec ord because they still have one game to play. Saturday the Lions will travel to Penn, which owns a 4-4-1 rec ord, and are sure bets to score against the Quakers if they can continue their rapid offensive pace shown thus far. In the record books, which date back to 1911 when the sport was introduced at the University, only three teams scored more than 35 goals in an average sea son of eight games. Three teams under Bill - Jeffrey —who coached soccer at the Uni versity for 27 years—scored more than 35 goals. In 1934 38 goals were scored in seven games, and in 1950 39 goals were tallied in eleven games. The only team to score 40 or more goals in one campaign was the 1952 team— Jeffrey's last Nittany team If the Lions can shut out Penn they will not set a record but will (Continued on page seven) TKE, Tau Score Wins Tau Kappa Epsilon, led by Al Rossi who grabbed three first places, and Phi Kappa Tau roiled to easy victories over Phi Kappa Alpha and Phi Kappa in IM swimming last night at Glennland Pool.
