Syracuse War Cry:
’We Want Lions
• By FRAN FANUCCI j
If the Lions’ “rag to riches” j
football team expects to re
main among the nation’s top
12 teams it would fare well'
to heed scout Frank Patrick’s!
report on the powerful Or- 1
ange from Syracuse. i
“They’re definitely looking
towards us,” Patrick said, “and!
they're pulling no bones about it. ;
Last ‘ week against Boston Uni- 1
vcrsity they started players who'
*icver played before. I guess they
would rather beat us than any
body else on their schedule ” j
Patrick pointed out that Syra
cuse "has a real good ball club." ;
And added:
"They have one of the big- ■
gesl lines and backfields we'll
tace all year. The backs, be
sides being big. are fast and ex
perienced and can hurl you M ,
any given time." ]
Up for special mention by the ;
veteran coach were backs Jimmy!
Brown and Jim Ridlon. Kid!on
especially impressed Patrick.:
“Ridlon is the most underrated
back I’ve seen this year,” he said.
“He can do everything well
pass, kick, or run.”
“And then there's Brown.” Pat- 1
rick explained, “who is one of the'
best all-round players in thej
East. He can breakaway anytime,
despite his 220 pounds and is also:
one of the top pass receivers on'
the Syracuse team.” 1
On the Syracuse line Patrick j
praised center Bill Brown and
end Dick Lasse. "Brown." he !
said, "is the best man on that
big forward wall. He is a good
blocker and a tremendous de
fensive performer. Tji<c» is a !
good receiver and blocker and '
lough on defense."
Patrick also stressed the fact
that Syracuse has good depth and
is well-balanced. "They use the
two-platoon system much the
same as we do,” he said.
He added that their fullbacks

WEST VIRGINIA POST-MORTEMS . . .
I In another display of spirit and cooperation the Lion
football team, following its win over the Mountaineers
Saturday, presented the game ball to the team trainer, Chuck
Medlar. The players had agreed before kickoff time that if
| they won “the guy who puts them on their feet every week”
'would get the ball. i '
Medlar; when given the ball,
did not say much, but the > players
knew that by the smile on his
face he was more than satisfied,
and they gave him one of the
biggest ovations ever heard in the
Lion dressing room. All the play
ers autographed the ball, on re
quest of Medlar.
Captain Sam Valentine is
probably fhe unluckiesl captain
in the country. For the fifth
consecutive game he lost the
loss of the coin Saturday. It
was really the sixth because be
also lost the toss in the Colgate
scrimmage before the season
started.
When Les Walters caught Milt
Plum's pass for the second Lion
touchdown, Mountie Coach Art
| Lewis turned around and said to
[his assistant coach: "We sure
[underrated those .”
INS, AP, and UP all rate the
Lions in different position in their
weekly polls. INS has the Lions
10th, UP rates them 11th, and AP
rates them 12th.
Sporting News, the baseball
paper of the world, gives the
Lions a page spread on the foot
ball team. The feature, written
by Art Murrow, is located in
the Quarterback section of the
paper.

Kane and Milt Plum are also in
cluded in the feature plus half a
story on Valentine. It would be
wise for Lion fans to get an issue.
A Pittsburgh scout, seated in
the pressbox, had great praise for
center Dan Radakovich and Sam
Valentine. Many of the writers at
halftime were still commenting
on the vicious tackle Valentine
made on the kickoff following
one of the touchdowns. Valentine
raced down' field, sped through
a host of Mountaineers to make
the tackle in the clear.
Jesse Arnelle, former Lion grid
and cage great, was a visitor in
the dressing room after the game.
[Arnelle is now in the Air Force
[and will continue playing basket
ball after his discharge.
