Quakers Out to Halt
2.-Year Losing Streak
A revamped University of
Pennsylvania football team,
probably Coach Steve Sebo's
best, will be out not only to
beat the Lions but also play
the "law of averages" when
it meets a favored Lion team
Saturday at Franklin Field,
Philadelphia.
Since Sebo has been head coach
at Penn the Red and Blue have
not won a game, losing 18 in a
row, which, according to the law
or averages, should come to a halt
soon. This year Sebo is reported
to have his most promising team
'with 15 lettermen returning and
a host of sophomore aspirants.
AND BECAUSE of this Penn
can't be taken lightly, especially
since its opening game for both
teams., It would be hardly cliff , -
cult for the Quakers to pull an
upset seeing that only two mem
bers of last year's squad will be
in the starting lineup, which
makes it quite difficult to have
an accurate scouting report.
Without the accuracy usually
required in a scouting report the
strength of Penn can only be pre
dicted. The best the Linn coach
ing staff can do is base its reports
on the potential of the Quakers
and few game films it has.
BUT FROM reports emerging
out of the Penn training camp
the Quaker strength is situated
at quarterback and at end, where
Bich Ross, Charley Gill, and Par
ker Jacoby prevail respectively.
Lion I.ans remember Ross froin
his past performances. The 5-11.
188 pound junior was a splendid
signal caller and this •ear he is
reported to be at his peak, espe-

Jack Farls
May start at end
cially on the aerial side of the
game.
IN FACT, he has been pitching
so sharp during practice that Sebo
may junk his running game in
favor of a passing attack, which
' could materialize with Gill and
Jacoby at ends.
Last season Ross completed
only 14 of 46 tosses and did not
connect fol• one touchdown. But,
in a recent practice skirmish with
Bucknell he completed four of his
first six passes, two for TD's.
Jacoby, a converted center, has
learned the art of pass catching
with extreme efficiency and is
one of Ross' favorite receivers.
Gill, on the other hand, is a de
fensive bulwark.
AS A JUNIOR he played 228
minutes, more than any other
end. He is being counted on be
cause of his experience and fine
defensive playing.
The Penn strength is a carbon
copy of the Lion's. The ends are
Coach Rip Engle's strongest line
points. Jack Faris, Le. Walters,
Doug Mechling, and Romeo Pan
ozzo are leading candidates for
the wing spots.
WALTERS and Mechling may
be Engle's choice for Saturday,
but Faris, a regular last year. is
sure to see as much action as the
both of them. Panozzo, an often
'sive standout, will see plenty of
!action in that capacity.
Plum is the number one choice
at quarterback and will definitely
be at that position when kickoff
time rolls around.
Game time is 1:30 p.m. (EDT)
Spahn Keeps Milwaukee
On Top With 20th Win
CINCINNATI, Sept. 25 (iP)—Warren Spahn assured Mil
waukee of holding the National League lead alone for at least
24 more hours as he won his 20th game 7-1 today behind a
15-hit attack that virtually snuffed out Cincinnati's pennant
hopes. The 35-year-old lefthander became the third pitcher
in the National League history to
win 20 or more in seven seasons,
a feat topped only by Christy
Mathewson (13) and Grover
Cleveland Alexander (9).
Spahn. a stylish veteran of thel
1948 champion Boston Braves,
drove in enough - runs to win his
own game with a two-run double
to left center, that chased 36-year
old Larry Jansen in the second.
The Braves, who awoke from
their hitting slumber against the
Chicago Cubs last week e n d,
whacked a steady array of Cin
cinnati throwers for 15 hits, in
cluding 4 doubles and a triple
and left 13 on base. It was the
Braves' highest hit total since they
collected 16 against New York
July 26,
Birdie Tebbetts' Redlegs need
ed only one home run to tie the
Giants' all-time major league rec
ord of 221, set in 1947, but the
best they could do was a total
of six hits, all singles.
BOSTON, Sept. 25 (VP) Ted
Williams drove in four runs with
his 24th homer and a bases-loaded
walk but lost ground in the
American League batting race to
day as the Boston Red Sox pum
meled Washington 10-4.
