Lion Slump Gives
Va.ndy 32-20 Win
What happens to the Penn State football team in the
second half and, more specifically, what happens to the Lions
in the third quarter? That is the question most close Lion grid
followers are asking after Vanderbilt scored a 32-20 victory
over Coach Rip Engle's squad Saturday afternoon at Beaver
Field.
In four consecutive games, the Lions left the field at
halftime of one-touchdown leader
only to be outplayed or extended
for most of the second half.
Against Penn and William and
Mary, the Nittanies were strong
enough to eke out victories—not
so against Army and Vanderbilt.'
Army used a machine-like of
fense in the third quarter to
score three touchdowns and win.
Vanderbilt, not so machine-like,
but just as effective, scored
twice in the third to break the
Lions' backs .and once in the
fourth to ice the victory.

But he said weekend figures
often are misleading, since many]
students go home who might have

"in a day or two."
Local physicians FAH' are caring
for bed-ridden students in the

Eng Council to Meet
The Engineering and Architec

a revised constitution at a meet
ing 'at 8 tonight in 217 Hetzel

phone calls to any West Halls
dorm units after 10 p.p.
The prohibiting of calls is in
keeping with the University reg-
ulation that no phone calls may
be made to women's dormitories
after 10 p.m.
With the new phone system

Thompson Hall cannot be stopped
without stopping calls to all West
Halls dormitory units, it was re

This situation prevents frater
nities • from reaching freshmen
men in West Halls after 10 p.m.
George Wills. chairman of the
IFC Board df Control, said the
new phone system is "detrimen

considerable rushing is done by

W. F. Diehl, manager of Uni

Christopher Keubler. IFC exec

- Dean Weston said opening the
telephone lines after 10 p.m. in

Rotation System
Leonides Council last night
voted 21 to 6 in favor of retain

A motion favoring retention of

Leonides represents all inde

men and unaffiliated upperclass
women.
The council amended its con
