JACK LAVERTY. Rutgers' hard-running 155-pound fullback is
expected to supplement the Scarlet's sunning attack Saturday
with his up-the-middle bursts. Laverty is a junior and stands
only 5-7.
Engle Views Rutgers Tilt
With Mixed Emotions
Coach Rip Engle—he .has defeated Rutgers each time his
time his teams have met the Scarlet—left with the Lions this
morning for New Brunswick, N.J., where the two will tangle
tomorrow. But Engle left with mixed emotions.
He was happy—because he's finally going to see the last
of the pesky Rutgers team—but at the same time he was con
templating his troubles that included two things.
His first one revolves around this week's game although
the Lions have been tabbed a
21-point choice over Coach Har
vey Harman's outfit. Rutgers has
always preceded the grand sea
son finale—Pitt—for the Lions;
therefore the tendency for the
Lion gridders to overlook the
Scarlet, with a 2-4 card this year,
and to take them for granted with
the Nittanies pointing toward
Pitt as the "big one," has placed
the Rutger's game in a position of
extreme speculation each year.
Rutgers has lost the five
games since 1950 with the Lions,
but in each instance, although
it has felt the roof fall in twice,
Rutgers has been a troublesome
outfit for Penn State.
Engle's second problem is noth
ing new, although it hasn't been
a five-year headache such as Rut
gers. This year it is injuries.
Engle has had comparably
few adjustments to make in the
backfield because of injuries,
with the exception of fullback
Buck Straub who broke his
hand at the start of the season.
On the line it's been another
story.
At the ends, four of Engle's
men Ned Finkbeiner, Doug
Mechling, Paul North, and Ron
Markiewicz, the converted half
back—have been in an out of
the injured wraps all season.
Markiewicz, the most recent
sideline case, was hospitalized
when he suffered a severe ab
dominal burise in the Syracuse
win. Dr. Alfred H. Gsiess, team
physician, said he questioned
whether Markiewicz would play
again this year.
At tackles Walt Mazur is back
in line after breaking his hand,
but Jack Calderone is still out.
Understudy to Co-Captain Frank
Reich, Dan Radakovich, used at
center and a valuable linebacker,
also got bunged up against Syra-,
cuse. Dick DeLuca, guard, is ex
pected to be ready for full duty
tomorrow after a shoulder injury
slowed him for the last two
games.
Coach Harvey Harman may
have some lineup changes too.
Harman has done most of his
juggling at left end and center—
being equally successful in both
positions with two different men
—and has used two quarterbacks
during his last six games.
Don Felber, one of quarter
back Bill Gatyas' favorite tar
gets, has been first-lino ma
terial at left end but teammates

and Ed Farrell, senior letter
man, have seen action.
Other players to catch Coach
Tor Toretti's eye both in victory
and defeat were halfbacks Lee
Lusardi, Co-Captain Bob Kelley,
and left tackle Jim Marco. Marco
missed two games this year with
a shoulder separation but should
be ready tomorrow.
Senior Al Mitlehner, who
took the opening berth from
Co-Captain Ed Evans, plays
right end; in the fullback slot
Toretti pointed out that Jack
Laverty, although he weighs
only 155-pounds, is a speedy
back that Gatyas likes to use
up the middle on quick openers.
"He can go too." Toretti said.
Toretti, Lion scout, lauded the
play of centers Dave Pooley, 185-
pound sophomore, and his 200-
pound replacement Tony DeSan
tis, another senior letterman. Tor
etti said that with these two men
in the front wall, plus left guard
Bob Howard, 185-pounder, Rut
gers has a fast line and is espe
cially dangerous when the guards
pull. "They're not too big, but
they can move, Toretti said.

. . . FOR DIWA AND DATA
Rip Engle's football team runs smack into a 93-game
scoring streak when it visits Rutgers tomorrow afternoon in
New Brunswick, N.J., but a recent check of the records re
vealed that the Lions have somewhat of a streak of their own
underway.
The last eleven to whitewash the Blue and White was the
Alan Ameche led Wisconsin
Badgers in the Penn State opener
two years ago. Since then the
Lions have gone through 24 games
without falling short of at least
one score.
Since Wisconsin did the trick
in '53, the Lions have been able
to blank the opposition on five
different occasions. In '53 it was
Pitt, 17-0; Pitt again, 17-0; along
with Syracuse, 13-0, last year;
and in seven starts this season
Boston University, 35-0, and Penn,
20-0, haven't managed to pene
trate the Lion defense for a score.
"THE TOURING LIONS??"
Don't be surprised-if you catch
one of John Egli's 1955 cagers
strolling about campus engrossed
in an over-sized road map.
For the first time in several
years the Lion basketball team is
taking on a 26-game schedule,
but it won't come as happy knowl
edge to you fans who like to see
the cagers in action—unless you
plan on spending several nights
away from campus.
Of the Nittanies' 26 scheduled
games, ONLY NINE ARE AT
HOME. So, with 17 contests away
from Rec Hall and scattered
among seven eastern, southern,
and mid-western states, ho w
about it—'THE 1955 TOURING
LIONS?
The cagers began official prac
tice sessions Nov. They open
with North Carolina State Dec. 5
in Dixieland, , then visit DePaul
University before their initial
home appearance with Rutgers.
That one comes Dec. 14th and
Colgate follows on the 17th.
The Motor City tournament will
again occupy a portion of the
cagers' Xmas recess.
WRESTLING FANS may be in
terested to know Charlie Spei
des grapplers have Illinois on
their 1955-'56 card. The meeting
at Champaign will mark the first
time the Lions and the Illini have
faced each other on the mats.

collar that won't wrinkle ever!
If you thought the classic oxford button-down could never
be improved, this may shake you. Van Heusen (and only
Van Heusen) now makes one that you can wear to classes,
to afternoon football scrimmage (if you're so inclined) and
to tonight's dance. It will still look fresh, even if you don't.
It's a fine, soft, specially woven oxford cloth that will outlast
two of those regular jobs. And—don't let anybody else see
this—if you happen to wear it a second day, nobody will
be the wiser. $4.30
