But they quickly took heart from an interpretation apparently passed down b Teamsters attor neys; that the order does not pre vent the election, but only en 'joins the seating of illegal dele gates. That was the line that Back took. "There is nothing our at torneys can see to prevent an I election." Beck said. It is up to the convention Cre dentials Committee to determine legality of delegates, he contended and if "as many as 100 legal dele gates meet, there is nothing in. the order to prevent them from hold ing an election." The retiring president said that under a rigid interpretation of the Teamsters constitution regarding the time for naming delegates, a few might not be legal because of the custom -qf many locals of i suspending meetings during the summer months. ns at Lions Heavily Favored Over Intrastate Rivals The Nittany Lions of Coach Rip Engle open their 1957 season against the Pennsylvania Quakers this afternoon at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. It is the first game of the season for both clubs. Game time is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Engle gave all indications that he would try to use the two platoon system which proved; so successful last season as much as possible this afternoon against( the forces of Coach Steve Sebo. The Lion coach announced his! first 22 men for the game. The: first unit consists of Les Walters: and Jack Farts at end, Bill Weh-: mer and Joe Bohart at tackles,! Joe Sabol and Dick McMillen ati guards; Charlie Ruslavage at cen-' ter, Al Jacks at quarterback, Dave: Kasperian and Andy Moconyi at halfbacks and Babe Caprara at fullback. On his alternate unit, Engle has Paul North and Ron Markie wicz at ends, Tom Mulreany or Charlie Janeretfe and Andy Stynchula at tackles, Sam Stel latella and Willard Smith at guards, Steve Garban at cen ter, Rich Lucas at quarterback. Bruce Gilmore and Bucky Paolone at halfbacks, and Mau rice Schleicher at. fullback. Looking at the Penn game, En gle expressed a slight worry over the fact that the newspapers have rated the Lions such odds-on favorites. "Why, they're (the fans) not asking are you going to win, but how much are you going to win by," he said. "I've never been overconfident for a football game in my life," he said, "and Penn's no different." Engle said he expected the Quak ers to be a tough team, one that will make his club battle hard for victory. Phirsically the Lions are in good shape. No one has been hurt this past week, chiefly be cause Engle held no serious con tact work in practice. The two biggest injuries—if they can be called that—are leg injuries to Paolone and Gilmore. Both, however are expected to see a good deal of action. Engle shrugged aside comments on the easy opener Penn is fore casted to be with this statement:, "This is a tough opener for us because they use so many varia-; tions that we're at a loss from that standpoint." Sebo is known for 'his multiple offensive system—a major portion of which he learned during his assistant coaching days at Michigan State. - Turning to his own team, Engle said: "We're not as good a foot ' ball team as we were last year— (Continued on page six) Hoffa went into a huddle with his attorneys and advisers and de clined immediate comment on the court order.

Penn By VINCE CAROCCI Sports Editor Fire Razes 3 Student Apartments Three student families, each with babies less than two months old, are homeless as a result of an $BOOO fire at 8 a.m. yesterday in their apartments at 134 S. Gill St. The student families are Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Dretsch, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Gianni and Mr. and Mrs. Orin Main. Alpha Fire Chief Thomas Sauers Jr. said the blaze is believed to have started from a stray spark which may have lodged in dried birds' nests in the eaves of the roof. Fire was confined mainly to the roof and third floor apart ments. Water damage was heavy on both second and third floors. Alpha firemen arrived on the scene as dense clouds of smoke were pouring from the eaves of the roof and the attic windows. Chemical equipment was used to bring the fire under control.- In order to get to the base of the blaze. firemen had to chop holes in both roof and outside walls of the third floor apartment. Firemen began to remove fur nishings from the apartments as soon as they arrived. At first the furnishings were placed outside the building on the lawn, but af ter the fire was brought under control they were placed in the center of the rooms and covered with canvas to cut down water damage.
