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.

ners in all Lion sports, will meet

Gamma Rho on Thompson street.

limited the New York Giants to
five scattered singles today as
the Philadelphia Phillies clinched
a tie for fourth place in the Na
tional League with a 5-1 victory.
The veteran righthander was
particularly effective against Wil
lie Mays. Mays, who suffered hip
and back bruises when he crash

wall Wednesday, popped out four
times.
Willie Jones drove in two runs
for the Phils and Andy Seminick
walloped his 12th home run of the

in the final Philadelphia run with
a squeeze bunt in the eighth.
