The Buckeyes—un defeated so far this year with wins over Nebraska, Stanford, and Illi nois—are 14-point favorites to make the Lions their fourth straight victim. . This is the first game between the two teams since 1912. That year the Lions fielded their first unbeaten, untied eleven and trounced the Buckeyes, 37-0, in a game cut short by a fist fight. No fist fights are scheduled to day. but a high-scoring contest could emerge since both teams pack potent offenses. Lion Coach Rip Engle and Buckeye Coach Woody Hayes are students of the split-T attack, although Engle has been also using the straight-T in the last three games. Hadio Station WMAJ will carry the Lion-Buckeye game beginning at 3 p.m.-(EDT), with Mickey Beigslein handling the play-by-play. Hayes has one of the most awe some ground attacks in the coun try, good enough, in fact, to give his team fifth place in the As sociated Press poll. The Buckeyes have thrown only 14 passes this year. But Ohio State's "passless of fense" ignores the pass to a certain extent and then fakes the opposition with a running attack and instead uses the pass for long yardage. The only defense to stop this type attack, according to the Lion coaching staff, is alertness. The Nittany backs will have to be on guard every minute to stop the unorthodox playing of the Buck eyes. But the rough schedule the Buckeyes have been playing is beginning to take its toll. Hayes indicated earlier this week that he may have to switch starting tackle and'co-captain Bill Michael to end because his two "tiny” ends Fred Kriss and Leo Brown—lB7 pounds and 168 pounds respec tively—are getting banged around and are suffering from head in juries.

Polish Titoism Brings Soviets Running WARSAW, Poland, Oct. 19 —Nikita S. Khrushchev and a trio of top-ranking Soviet army leaders arrived suddenly and unheralded in Warsaw to day in utmost secrecy, appar ently to apply brakes to Poland’s headlong advance toward inde pendent Communism. There was no official announce ment of the Soviet Communist party boss’ arrival, but authori tative sources r said he was driven in from a military airport just as the Polish Communist Central committee was restoring once condemned and jailed Titoists to power.

That is, there were 40 deaths according to the traffic record sign in front of the State College Post Office. In reality the borough is very proud of its record of no traffic fatalities in eight years. The sign, put up to encourage good driving, had originally read traffic accidents 120, injuries 43. and deaths 0. Then in the last week a major change came about and the sign read: traffic ’acci dents 20, injuries 31, deaths 40. The police department said yes terday that the work of the prank ster will definitely be corrected. Committee Ok's Continued Use Of Vote-Docks All-University Elections Com mittee last night approved con tinued use of the same procedures for vote docking and party plat form approval that it used last year. The committee felt that vote docking was justifiable because a candidate could have obtained a portion of his votes by using a plank which had been turned down by the committee as unfeas ible and which could never be put into operation. Fining Idea Rejected The idea of fining a candidate who campaigned on a platform that had been turned down by the committee was rejected as it was felt that a small fine would not be a sufficient penalty and that a large fine would be uncollectable. The procedure for party plat form approval was felt to exercise some control over political par ties, and for this reason it was felt that the policy should be maintained. Party Platform Reviewed The committee also reviewed the Campus party platform, but no action was taken. The Lion party platform was not submitted in time for the meeting. The Elections committee will meet with party clique chairmen to review platforms at 6 p.m. to morrow in 9 Carnegie. Hubzapoppin to Feature Todd-Torrence Quintet The Todd-Torrence Quintet, a progressive jazz group, will hold the spotlight in tonight’s Hubza poppin’ show, which will be broadcast from 8 to 8:30 in the Hetzel Union assembly room.

Party Restores Gomulka The Polish Workers-Commun ist-party Central Committee, many of its members in a mood to declare independence from the Soviet party, had just restored Gomulka in triumph to the Cen tral Committee when a long line [of cars was seen driving into the city. The arrival of Khrushchev is. said to have angered Gomulka, who was described as viewing the Soviet visit at this moment —with the Polish party under great pub lic pressure to show its indepen dence a highly tactless man euver. 3 Accompany Khrushchev Accompanying Khrushchev, au- thoritative reports said, were Marshal Georgi Zhukov, the So viet defense minister and a close friend of Rokossovsky; Marshall Ivan S.

LaVan accused Johnson of not performing the duties of Elections Committee, and this, he said, was detrimental to the Lion party. LaVan also charged Johnson with too much control of election technicalities. • Cabinet moved into an execu tive session after LaVan present ed his proposal at the general meeting. The session, which is closed to observing students and the press, was called because, as a Cabinet member said, “an offi cial’s reputation may be at stake.” Vole of Confidence After discussion on LaVan’s charges. Cabinet gave Johnson a vote of confidence because- the group said the accusations were nebulous and were not supported with fact. LaVan claimed that Lion party at Sunday night’s meeting lost 150 people because Elections Com mittee was 15 minutes late in checking matriculation cards re quired for attendance. It was noted by the Collegian reporter Sunday night that the Campus party meeting was near ly an hour late getting under way also due to congestion at the en trance. Confusion ‘for Years' Robert Bahrenburg, All-Univer sity president, explained that con fusion in setting up registration tables has' been happening for years and this does not necessar ily show prejudice on the part of Johnson. Regarding smooth functioning, Bahrenburg said that even Cabi net members have trouble arriv ing at meetings on time. Has Enforcement Authority In reply to LaVan’s charge of Elections Committee ‘•dictator ship,” Cabinet agreed that John son has the authority to enforce the Elections Code. This includes setting time and dates of elec tions and deadlines for the sub mission of the party constitution and campaign platform. Bahrenburg said after the ses sion that both Lion and Campus parties have the right to express complaints and they will be heard without bias by Elections Com mittee or Cabinet. Among 25 members of Cabinet, he said, only seven had past po litical affiliation and this was im mediately dropped when the of fice was taken.
