WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 16,1955 Penn State Sports— ON the LINE AUTGEWS POST MOSTEMS .. . According to radio broadcaster Tony Merino, working over WCTC in New Jersey. Rutgers played its best game of the year when it lost to the Lions Saturday, 34-13. Merino, who has followed the Scarlet through five losses and two wins, told us it was the first time he had seen quarter back Bill Gatyas play the option and pitchout so well, and that it was the first time the Scarlet had had any success what soever with the gamble to halfbacks Bob Lusardi and Bob Laverty. Rutgers, like Penn, is looking to 1956 with hopes of tucking the dismal '55 season into the record books to be forgotten. Fighting a losing cause, Coach Harvey Har man used 16 of his 19 sophomores and 14 of his 15 juniors. Only five men on the roster failed to play. The other was first-string guard Bob Howard, out with a shoulder injury. • • • RUTGER'S FIELD We were impressed with (1) Rutger's field, (2) the hospitality, and (3) the efficiency of sports PI head Les 'Unger. Scarlet's field, bathed in a warm, November sun Saturday, holds 23,000, but only 12,000 showed up for the test. It's a horseshoe shaped field, set in a natural ravine, rimmed by pines. Although the field is horseshoe shaped, the curve of the horseshoe is broken by planting areas that are crammed with hawthorne roses. Before the game Unger held a press luncheon. If he'd called it a banquet he would have been more correct. Four dif ferent kinds of pie, roast beef rare, medium, and well-doite. none - the . - least—Coffee, potato salad, cheeses, cake, cold cuts, tea, etc., spotted the "menu." The only thing that fizzled WOW a log fire that failed to burn. N. The press box it's the , best we've been in in five road trips —had two radio booths. Each were carpeted and had -drapes hanging from the windows. Bob Prince, Penn State broad caster, said he came td Rutger's' eight years ago for a game that - was to be playcd• 'in , sub-zerci weather. "I came equipped with boots, heavy coats, overshoes, and thermos jug," Prince ex plained. "It took . me, fifteen minutes, to haul the stuff -in from the car, and then I walked: , into this radio room--with car- - ; pets and all. I thought I was-in New. York's CBS of first."- Coach - Rip Engle practically cleared his bench :Raturday.• It looked as though .the 'gray Eagle was .sending in•two definite ups 'for his front - wall,.perhaPs experimenting for the all-impor tant, up-coming Pitt test here Saturday. Engle, however. did not use - I. his quarterbacks. Al Jacks. -and' Jack Scribis, • who: have' all but. faded into 'obacurity this in riding the- bench :foe games.

No one expected them to be first string signal callers with Milt Plum, Bob Hoffman, and Jim Hochberg vying for the job, but it was expected that - they'd be seen in action. Bill Nehmer, 201- pound tackle who. stands 6-3, re portedly a football player in his own right, has made the trips but not yet seen action. He's also a sophomore. By ROY WILLIAMS Sports Editor 'Big 3' Stay On Top; Pitt Ranked 15th By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oklahoma, Maryland, and Mich igan State still are running 1-2-3 in the Associated Press' football poll and figure to stay up there after Saturday's play. There could be plenty of changes, however, in the ratings below the top trio. • Oklahoma is a 26-point favorite to beat Nebraska for the Big Sev en crown at Lincoln and run its victory streak to 28. Maryland is the 27-point choice over George Washington, and Michigan State, hoping to move into the Rose Bowl, is about the same over Marquette. Notre Dame, fourth in the rank ings, fifth place UCLA, and sixth place Michigan, run into trouble. All could lose without causing any shock to the onlookers. Irish Gel Nod • The Fighting Irish are rated 10 points .over lowa but the Hawk eyes always spell aggravation to the men from South Ben. UCLA is a 10-point choice over Southern California in the big .battle on the coast where the Bruins are aiming to seal a berth in the Rose Bowl. . Michigan is given just a six point edge over Ohio 'State at Ann Arbor. The Big Ten crown as well as the Rose Bowl spot is at stake in this climactic contest. DUS Win linporlant A victory by Ohio State would send Michigan' State to Pasadena since-the 'Btiobeyes are ineligible to repeat their 1955 journe to the Rose BoWl.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Tatum—Not Team—Fumbles This Time COLLEGE PARK, Md., Nov. 15 (W)—Maryland was voted into Miami's Orange Bowl football game today but if Jim Tatum's Terps fumble the ball around like he did the announcement they'll never beat Oklahoma. Oklahoma is No. 1 in the weekly Associated Press poll to determine the nation's best college football team. Maryland is No. 2.

CI 1937, THE COCA•COLA COMPANY Tatum has been itching for an other shot at the Sooners and Bud Wilkinson, who was his as sistant before he moved from Ok lahom ato Maryland in 1947 and since has compiled a better record than his old boss. The votes were being rounded 'up in ,a poll of Atlantic Coast Conference schools on its Or ange Bowl designate when Ta turn went into his weekly con ference with sports writers to day. Maryland, he was happy to say, had been unanimously selected to represent the conference in the bowl. He signalled Joe Blair, his publicity man, to make the for mal announcement. "Maryland has accepted the invitation to the Orange Bowl," Blair announced. "I didn't say that," said Tatum. "I said 'Selected.' "We haven't accepted yet." He explained the final deci sion• was up to the university's administration. He said he did not want what he said to mean Maryland would not accept. He said it was apparent Maryland's athletic council was in favor. At the same time, Jim Weaver, commissioner of the conference. announced from his office at Greensboro, N.C., that Maryland had been selected and had ac cepted. Tatum's "We haven't accepted yet," took Weaver aback. "I talked with Tatum and Dean Geary F. Eppley, Mary land faculty athletic chairman," said Weaver, "and I most defi nitely got the impression th..! they had accepted the invita tion." Tatum owned up then. Mary land had' accepted. He said he'd done the shadow boxing with words because there was a prior agreement Weaver 'would an nounce the acceptance. Thompson to Play Atherton for Title Thompson edged Delta Gamma, Tri-Sigma, and Kappa Kappa Gamma 1-0 in the intramural field hockey playoffs last night. Thompson will play undefeated Atherton for the championship title tomorrow. The sorority goalie Carolyn Briggs was the defensive stand out of the night as she came out of the cage three times to block sure-score shots. Wing June Stein knocked in the deciding tally for Thompson. In the first night of playoffs in the coed IM badminton league, Delta Zeta beat Pi Beta Phi, 2-0; Alpha Gamma Delta blanked Co ops, 3-0; and Tri-Sigma won over Delta Gamma, 2-1.
