on Younker
Post-Season Grid Bids
Accepted by 3 Lions
Three Nittany gridders Don Bailey, Gene Danser, and Ron Younker have ac
cepted bids to play in post-season football contests.
Bailey will play in the East-West Shrine game, Danser in the Blue-Gray battle, and
Younker in the North-South Shrine game.
During the past season it was Bailey who handled the reins over the Penn State
grid fortunes. At the start ; of the campaign the battle for the quarterback position was mainly
between Bailey and Bobby Hoffman. However, Bailey's sensational play in the opening game
with Illinois put him, in the starting berth for the remainder of the year.
Although Bailey was not able
to match all-time Penn State pass
ing performances set last year by
Tony Rados ; he displayed excel
lent ball-handling ability.
Danser was one of Coach Rip
Engle'S top defensive stars. His
fine play helped give the Lions
one, of the strongest lines in the
country. Danser will• be playing
at tackle.
Younker, standout right half
back with plenty of fight, gained
365 yards in 44 carries for an av
erage of 8.1 yards per try. The
fleet back equaled a Penn State
record when he raced 80 yards
from scrimmage for a touchdown
against Virginia. He• also had
scoring runs of .23, 35, and 46
yards. Altogether, Younker scored
seven times.

Prices are $1 for unreserved bleacher seats and $2 for

They'll Play More Football
By HERM WEISKOPF
Numerous state and national dignitaries will join Swedish
authorities at the event.
The Rec Hall performance will
be one of 32 appearances in 19
states and 'Ontario for the visiting
countries' top men and women
gymnasts, numbering 20 in all.
Gene Wettstone, Penn State
coach who brought the men's team
to the United States a year ago
and who again is masterminding
the 1955 tour, said the Swedes
will arrive in New York by air
Jan. 4 and make their first ap
pearance in Paterson. N.J., Jan. 7.
This year's attraction differs
from last year's in that it will not
be on a competitive basis. The
Swedish male standouts who com
prised last year's touring team de
feated the Nittany Lions, NCAA
champs • for the second straight
year, 49 1 / 2 -46 1 / 2 .
The other major difference,
which undoubtedly overshadows
the fact that January's event will
not be competitive, is the appear
ance of the Swedish female stand
outs.

Buckeyes Cop AP Poll; .
Lions Finish Twentieth
By HUGH FULLERTON JR.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2 4 4 (R)—Rose
Bowl bound Ohio State today was
named as the 1954 national col
legiate football champion an d
winner of the O'Donnell Memor
ial Trophy.
In the final Associated Press
Ranking poll of the season, the
nation's sports writers and broad
casters, casting a record-breaking
ballot, named Ohio's Buckeyes by
a slim margin over UCLA's Bruns.
These two unbeaten teams had
made it a race all through the
closing 'weeks of the season, with
Ohio State slipping ahead two
weeks ago and holding on to the
finish.
Oklahoma, the only other major
team to finish the season unbeat
en and untied, finished a strong
title when versatile Nick . Mc-
Chesney banged his way to the
135 pound championship and run
ning mate, Don Martin, also
copped honors in the 145 pound
class.
Only two fraternity champions
are returning from last year's
lineup of kings. McChesney, who
will be out to add the 145 divi
sion to his shelf of 125 and 135
pound crowns, and Steve Haky,
Sigma Nu, current 165 pound boss
who will be competing in the 175
pound class. Intramural boxing
champions are required to move
up one weight for competition the
following season.
The bouts are scheduled to start
at 5 p.m. each day, with partici
pants weighing in by 4:30 p.m.
Those who are detained in class
must be weighed-in not later than
5:25 p.m.
Weight classes range from 121
pounds to 175 pounds, with an
unlimited group above that. This
year's schedule includes 184 mat
ches and extends. to the night of
Dec. 16, when eight new cham
pions will be crowned.
Last year's heavyweight cham
pion, Rosy Grier, Alpha Phi Al
pha, will not be eligible for com
petition as there is no additional
weight class beyond the unlimited
division.
IM directors, Gene Bischoff and
Dutch Sykes, have urged boxers
to report promptly to the scales
for weigh-ins.
third, the position it had held
since midseason.
The top ranking earned Ohio
State its first leg on the Rev. J.
Hugh O'Donnell, C. S. C. Memorl
ial Trophy, the championship em=
blem presented by Notre Dame af
ter it had retired the Williams
Trophy in 1947 by winning it
three times. No team has won the
current trophy more than twice.
Behind the unbeaten big three
in the final ranking came Notre
Danie, Navy, Mississippi, Army,
Maryland, Wisconsin and Arkan
sas, in order, to complete the first
ten.
The second ten:
Miami, Fla.; West Virginia, Au
burn, Duke, Michigan, Virginia
Tech, Southern California, Bay
lor, Rice and Penn State.
