Lion Runner, Passer from Farrell Liens Given From Even To 7-Point Edge Today; BU Boasts 16 Lettermen (Continued from, page one) on the injured list during the early part of fall practice. Replacing graduated Don Bail ey who wound up his college career by winning the most valu able player award in the East- West contest last year, was En gle’s major 1955 problem at quarterback. Now he has two men—Bobby Hoffman and junior Milt Plum Last night's rain will con tinue through today and right up to game time, the Univer sity Weather Bureau said last night. A fairly extensive storm sys tem will bring in warm air and intermittent showers today, the report said. The temperature at game time is expected to be' in the low 70's. —read for work at quarterback with Hoffman getting the call for the opening berth. Hoffman, a senior letterman from Farrell, saw action last year as an under study to Bailey. As for Penn Stale's position today as far as the "favorite" role is concerned, there has been a roundhouse of specula tion and figuring to name the underdog. Penn State has got ten the nod—but a slim one— from Will Grimsley, Associated Press sports writer, and a sev en-point edge by the United Press. Pre-season rundowns, however, have listed both teams as favorites, and one forecaster called it a lossup. Boston University will defi nitely hold a powerful threat to the Lions’ opening-day hopes with the basis of 16-lettermen — 11 of them on the opening team —a hint in itself of what BU coach Buff Donelli has for his plans to stumble Penn State. Only four juniors are expected to start for Donelli—Phil O’Con nell at quarterback; fullback! Football TV Plans Remain Uncertain What television stations will carry today’s Penn State-Boston University game still remains the question of the week. Baseball, the NCAA football game being carried coast-to-coast, and other commitments have jumbled the schedule to the extent that it’s still uncertain how many stations will carry the Lion-Terrier con test. WCAU-TV in Philadel phi a, WHUN-TV in Reading, and a Har risburg station have made def inite plans to carry the game. Both Johnstown and Altoona, two stations received regularly in Centre County, have made other commitments. Indications are that Penn State’s other TV encounter, the Nov. 5 contest with Syracuse, will have much broader coverage. I Frank Chiera; and guards Lou Lovely and George Spaneas. Lovely was mentioned for All- East honors as a soph. Donelli's line which averages ell over 200 pounds has senior end with John Bredice, who scored five TD's last year, and Steve Sobieek. Pittsburgh sen iors. Frank Breker and John Migliore open at tackles, while Mike Abbruzxese handles cen ter. BU’s running game will have to get its biggest punch from Captain Ken Hagerstrom, the Terrier’s much publicized high balling speedster. Two other let termen, Chiera at fullback and Bob Sylvia will' back up Hager strom and O’Connell. If the recent rain showers per sist, both teams will definitely have their offensive machines slowed. Boston University's Sylvia and Chiera are both heralded as slashing runners. With Kane on the Penn Stale downfield drive and Moore, known for his stop and go, and step out and cut techniques, plus BU's backfield ability all treading on soggy, slippery turf, spills may persist. In addition', heavy linework may turn the field to a quagmire of mud. The weather could well decide this one.
