PAGE SIX Improved Aerial Attack Bolsters Quaker Offense Penn Coach Steve Sebo will uncork a much improved aerial game along with his multiple offense when the Quakers meet the Lion football team tomorrow at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Game time is 1:30 p.m. (EDT). Penn, who has chucked its powerhouse opponents for a mund robin Ivy League schedule this year, is reputed to be on the upswing after dropping its last 18 games. And with this more lenient schedule the Red and Blue should snap this infamous streak in the next few weeks. SEGO, who learned the multi pie offense as a backfield coach at Michigan State, will throw Rich Ross in at quarterback to run the complicated system. Ross, a junior, has shown splendid im provement over last year and can definitely be counted on to fill the air lanes with passes against the Lions. Ross will seek to avenge last year's performance against the Lions, when he was thwarted on all five passing attempts by the Nittany defenders. IF ANYTHING will handicap Penn's running attack tomorrow it will be lack of speed, an essen tial ingredient in the multiple of fense. The Red and Blue backfield will feature, besides Ross, Frank Riepl at left halfback. Riepl gained a varsity berth after his fine performance against the Lions last year. He gained 46 yards on 11 carries to lead the Quaker ball carriers. He also returned two punts 18 yards and brought back a pair of kickoffs 48 yards. He is an elu sive runner but not exceptionally fast as are all the Penn ball toters. NEIL HYLAND is slated to open at right half for Charley McKinney. who will sit this one out because of an injury. Sebo's fullback will be the only non-letterman in the Penn back field. Dave Sikarskie, sophomore. has been given the edge over an other sophomore. Bill Raser. Penn's regular fullback. Bill Young. is sidelined with a knee injury, but should be able to play in a' few weeks. Sikarskie is one of the fastest and quickest backs on the squad, while Raser has shown most of his ability on defense on the basis Outing Club Plans Exchange at Cornell There will be an exchange out ing with the University of Cornell this weekend at Cornell.

The superb body whose athletic feats in her 42 years amazed and thrilled sports fans wasted away to 80 pounds as cancer eroded her physique during a three-year ill ness. IT NEVER eroded her spirit. :Her last words to husband George Zaharias were, "I ain't gonna die, honey." Thatwas in the early morning hours. Shortly thereafter. George said, "She's had enough agony, sadness and pain. And so I'm los ing my wife, partner and love. God's will be done. I know she'll live forever in the hearts of mil lions." GEORG E, the ex-wrestler known as "The Weeping Greek From Cripple Creek"—now a wealthy promoter and real estate: operator—paced the corridor of John Sealy Hospital all night— the pattern of his life for weeks. He stepped into the Babe's room frequently. He told of her death this way: "She died in her sleep. It was real nice and peaceful, as peace ful as a baby. She just floated away. It's been a long battle and 'the Babe fought it the way she !knows how to fight, giving !ground reluctantly all the way and an inch at a time."
