But they quickly took heart
from an interpretation apparently

That was the line that Back
took. "There is nothing our at

It is up to the convention Cre

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

The retiring president said that

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—

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.
Lion Predicts
Fair Weather
Today's prediction calls for lair
and cool weather with a high of
64-67 degrees.
The Nittany Lion voiced his ap

this morning.
The Lion, it
seems, has been
sought by the
draft board for
the past year,
and was Tecent
ly apprehended.
Local authorities
immediately sent
his matric card to the authorities
lin Washington for identification.
They received the terse com
ment by wire. "Good heavens.
we're looking for a lion, not an
aardvark!"
The Lion, although not over
joyed at being called an aardvarl4
was nevertheless quite pleased
with the results.
