Michigan State is the defending

team are back again—and they

have their nucleus built around

The Mountie line is typical of
the past years—big and strong.
Only one man on the line is un

Bob Guenther who weighs 295.
But the Mountie backfield is
light compared to the Lions’. The
four backs for West Virginia aver
age IJJ3 pounds while the Lions'!
backfield averages 196 pounds. J
The Mountie line averages 213 j
as against 202 for the Nittanies.
If the Lion;; win today it will
prove to the fans as well as the
forecasters that the Ohio State
win was no fluke, but if they lose
their national ranking will more
than likely be lost. West Virginia
has everything to gain and al
most nothing to lose, except for
some pride, in today's contest.
The tussle shapes up identical as
last week's game when the Lions
