PAGE SIX A Glance at . . . SPORTS By VINCE CABOCCI Assistant Sports Editor PRE-BOWL COMMENTS- Last Saturday afternoon, your writer watched the Army-Navy football game on television. Nothing made him ..riore disgusted with the post-season bowl selections than to hear that Navy still had the bid to the Cotton Bowl, despite, a 7-7 tie with the Cadets. We left the set talking to our selves, wondering how on earth a bowl selection committee could have the nerve to offer a bid to a team that was lucky to come oft the field with a tie, after being 4iutplaved the whole game asl Navy was. Navy, with the exception of its one touchdown drive, was never in the game. Army outplayed the Middies in every phase of thel contest and deserved the win.i Fumbilitis. a "disease" which' plagued the Cadets all season,' prevented them from winning. The Middies were pathetic to , watch on offense. They accumu- ' lated only five first downs dur ing the game, only twice mak ing two of them in succession. With the exception of Ned Old ham's punt return late in the first half. the - Sailors - did not I advance past their own 39-yard line under their own power. Yet, they still received a bid to the Cotton Bowl. Admiral W. R. Smedberg. head of the academy,: wisely turned down the bid.; Looking at the situation realis-' tically, he said that Navy did not deserve to go to the bowl. How right he was. After the Nary refusal. Syra-• cuse received the lucrative offer and naturally accepted. Few com plaints can be registered over the Orange selection. Syracuse, led by All-American Jimmy Brow n, compiled a 7-1 record during the regular season and should pro vide host TCU with stern compe tition Pitt's selection for Gator Bowl action was another farce, as far as we are concerned. At the time of the selection. Pitt and Penn State had identical rec.. orals. 6-2-1. Penn State out played the Panthers in its 7-7 fie, yet was not even mentioned as a bowl possibility. What we'd like to know is just i what does a team have to do to attract attention from the so called experts. Here is a team that beats Ohio State and West Vir ginia. outplays a seven-p oin t, favored Pittsburgh. and gives Syracuse and Army the scare of their lives. Yet, did it come in for serious consideration for a bowl berth? Not to our knowledge. It's an odd world isn't it. BASKETBALL TIDBITS— After watching Coach John basketball learn open its season in grand fashion with an 88-51. victory over Carnegie Tech's tough Tartans. we feel certain that better things are yet to come. Egli's boys. although a bit rusty at first, proved they had the po lentiat to bring home a winner. All that remains is to develop it. making for a high-scoring team. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA 116 1 4 The offensive patterns that the Lions used did not function very brilliantly Saturday night. But. if one watches closely. he'll see that the foundation is there. More game experience should mold the Lions into a tough, aggressive, smooth-work ing unit. Were not jumping on the band wagon. Sure, the Lions will lose a few games. But, they'll give almost any team on their sched ule a stiff battle—that includes West Virginia. Pittsburgh. and Temple. As long as they keep hustling, always giving their best, what more can anyone expect. Sophomores Carm Palmeri° and Tom Hancock were quite impres sive against the Tartans. The first game "shakes" were evident, but with more experience, these two could develop into top-flight players.
