Bowl-Minded Pittsburgh
Set to Snap Lion Streak
Bowl-minded Pitt, a team that first bowed to Oklahoma and
classy Navy but pulled two upsets with wins over Duke and West
Virginia, comes to Beaver Field for the first time since 1942 Satur
day, and the bowl bid won't be the only thing Coach Johnny Michel
sen and his Panthers will be kicking about.
In this 55th collision between the Keystone State's two major
grid powers, Pitt. wants nothing
more than to drop the Lions to
gain the satisfaction of whipping
the Nittanies on their home
grounds, and to end the three
year jinx the Lions hold on it.
Pitt has failed to score on the
Lions in the last three games.
And Pitt's followers must think,
their team has the workings to
engineer the win. They'll pack
State College as the expected
swarm by either train, plane, or
auto will swell the crowd to rec
ord proportions. The present
single high game attendance is
33,112
Pitt has rolled up a 6-3 win
card, with losses to Miami,
Oklahoma, and Navy. It has
dropped California, 27-7; Syra-
cuse, 22-12: Nebraska, 21-7:
Duke, 26-7: Virginia, 18-7: and
West Virginia. 26-7.
Penn State, which has won 22
of the 54 games while losing 30—
two ended in ties—since the
whole affair started in 1893, has
a 5-3 card. That gives the Lions
the lone distinction of being the
only team in the East credited
with more wins than losses dur
ing each of the 10 postwar years.
Oklahoma and Kentucky have
comparable records.
Engle, for the first time this
year, didn't have anybody side
lined as a result of Saturday
afternoon football action. He's
expected to start the same team
that opened at New Brunswick.
With Milt Plum the No. 1 man
now at quarterback, Engle has
one less worry.
Fullback Buck Straub also
played an outstanding game Sat
urday. According to Engle
"Straub is a much improved foot
ball player. I've never seen him
better than he has been the last
three weeks."
Against Rutgers Penn State
opened for the first time this year
with a 1954 feature that it hadn't
shown all season. That was the
long run.
