Lions to
Lions Given
Heavy Edge
In 44th Tilt
By ROY WILLIAMS
Penn State visits Franklin
Field tomorrow to take on its
traditional football grid foe,
the Quakers of Pennsylvania,
with the hopes that history
will repeat itself.
The Lions, for the first time
in three weeks have been tagged
the favorites. They are given a
26-point edge for Saturday's game
which is expected to draw 25,000
faris.
Last year Penn, seeking its first
victory of the season against the
Lions, scored first but finally
gave way to the Lions' pressure
and yielded a 35-13 victory.
The hero of the engagement
was Lenny Moore, the fleet half
back, who has been held in check
pretty successfully for the last
five games.
Coach Rip Engle, however, has
no intentions of "yanking" Moore.
Thus far Moore has been a stand
out on defense his presence
alone in the backfield provides
a definite offensive threat.
As far as the Penn game of
1954 is concerned, Moore has vivid
memories. He scored first on a
nine-yard plunge off tackle, added
another on a 60-yard scamper,
and tallied an unneeded six
pointer on a 57-yard pass inter
ception.
Here's how Engle feels about
him: "He's not running as far,
that's sure, but he's still a lot
of football player, perhaps 'the
best all-around -back in the
country. I •don't think there's
a better back, defensively, and
offensively he's a threat every
lime he gets his hands on the
ball."
Halfback Billy Kane, wh o
played one of his best games last
Saturday, was also a standout
last year in picking up 113 yards
on the ground including a 53-
yard sprint.
Against West Virginia he
picked up• 46 yards in seven
tries including a 34-yard run.
Kane and Moore along with
quarterbacks Bobby Hoffman and
Jim Hochberg, the punting spe
cialist who has received so much
attention after his spree against
the Mountaineers, and Buck
Straub will round out the back
field. Joe Sabol, soph fullback
and his classmate Emil Caprara,
plus halfbacks Bobby Allen and
Ray Alberigi will be in line for
action.
At ends, a favorite juggling
spot for Engle all year, Jim

German Unity Starts
Big Four Deadlock
GENEVA, Oct. 27 (JP)—The Big Four foreign ministers
convened 'today and quickly found themselves deadlocked on
European security and the unification of Germany—the basic
questions "the spirit of Geneva" has been unable to reconcile.
All paid tribute to the cause of world peace in this follow-
lip to the summit conference of
their chiefs of government here
last July. But their opposing poli
cies on the two big issues re
mained basically unaltered.

omore elections on Nov. 10 and
11.

Clemens, vice president; and Do

Two Articles
On Prexy as
The "quiet boom" to push Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower into
the political eye received a push this week through an article
in a national magazine and a nationally syndicated column.
In its November issue, American Magazine carries a six
page article on Dr. Eisenhower, complete with pictures show
ing him with his brother. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Hal Boyle, whose Associated
Press column is carried by over
800 newspapers, yesterday devot
ed an entire column to Dr. Eisen
hower. The column appeared four
days after Boyle visited the Uni
versity to speak to a banquet of
Sigma Delta Chi, national journ
alistic fraternity.
Titled "Spotlight on Milton
Eisenhower,' the American Mag
azine article presents mainly a
biographical sketch of Dr. Eisen
hower. It was written by Vance
Packard, a graduate of the Uni
versity.
Writes Boyle: "How would you
feel if your well-loved brother
suddenly were stricken ill, and
people began to suggest maybe
you were the man to take over
his job eventually.

Walker Says
His New Post
Helps Research
Dr. Eric A. Walker, dean of the
College of Engineering and Archi
tecture, said yesterday he looks
upon the new office of vice presi
dent of the University as a step
in coordinating research at the
University.
Walker will take over the newly
created position of vice president
on June 30, 1956. One of his three
principal functions will be to co
ordinate and stimulate the re
search program.
Walker explained that only two
of the three educational areas
constituting the University—resi
dent instruction and general e --
tension—have coordinators at tl. _
top.
The colleges conducting re
search have no overall representa
tive, and operate independently,
he said.
He added that he plans no
change in the research procedure
or operations. Of his appointment,
he said he was "happy" to re
ceive it and looks forward to the
"great honor" of working with
Dr. Eisenhower.
Walker is also a candidate for
the State College borough coun
cil in the November elections.
Asked if his new appointment
will affect his candidacy, he said
he doesn't see how it would.

vania State University finds him
self in today. It is an embarrasing
spot, and not at all to his liking."
Boyle said a "quiet boom" has
developed in support of Dr. Eisen
hower since many people feel that
President Eisenhower will not
seek a second term.
Boyle, in commenting on the
fact that Dr. Eisenhower has re
mained silent about the "quiet
boom," quotes a friend, whom he
does not identify, as saying:
"What else could he say? If he
said anything else —no matter
what it was—it would be miscon
strued."
Boyle. in presenting a biogra
phical sketch of Dr. Eisenhower,
said that "Who's Who in Amer
ica devotes 47 lines to Dr. Eisen
hower and 24 to President Eisen
hower.
