Jacks Makes HC Trip;
Gilmore, Smith Finished
A bit of rain, compensated by an even bigger bit of sunshine, fell on the Penn State
football situation yesterday as the Lions completed their serious practice efforts for to
morrow's Holy Cross game.
First, the rain: The Lion outlook was

As hard as the losses may be
on the Lions. the gridders' hopes
were brightened with the news
that quarterback Al Jacks, out
since the Syracuse game with a
shoulder separation. will dress
for the Crusader encounter at
Worcester. Mass.
Jacks cast aside his sling thy
week and went through, as Coach
.11,tp Engle put it, - 11rnbenng-up
exercises" during the Lion prac
tietm Engle said that he was tak
ing Jacks along to get him back
in the atmosphere of competition.
The• Lion mentor, at picei.t, is
not contemplating using Jacks ,
against the Crusader.,.. What his
action will be should the nece,,s:ty
arise is anybody's gue.
The loss of Gilmore has add
ed another problem to the cur
rent list of grid woes—right
now. the Lions have only two
authentic left halfbacks. Dare
Kasperian and Pat Botula.
To alleviate the problem. Engle
has been working sub..ftitute full
back Ber. Williams at the left
halfback spot. Williams also work
ed the position in workouts be
fore the Marquette game but did
not see action against the Hill
toppers.
Physically, the Lions are in
good shape. The major injury
problem Botula and his injured
ribs, but he will be ready fm. the
Crusaders. The injury has handi
capped him in practice, however.
Because Holy Cross quarterback
Tom Greene is the nation's leader
in total offense, the Lions natur
ally placed emphasis on their pass
defense during the week's prac
tice.
However. Engle warned that
Holy Cross can also run when
necessary. "They're a good team
with a great passer, a good record
and adequate Tunners," he said,
to show his respect for the Cru
saders.
The 34-man traveling team.
which Engle described as "the
smallest traveling learn a major
football learn takes to a game,"
will wind up its practice efforts
with a short workout this after
noon at Holy Cross. The travel
ing team is:
Ends—Les Walters. Paul North.

However, we find ourselves re
volting against our fellow scribes,
and we predict: If the Lions re-,
cord impressive victories over,
their two remaining foes Holy
Cross and Pitt—they will cele
brate the Christmas holidays in
either Dallas, Tex., or Jackson
ville, Fla. (For the benefit of you
novice grid fans, the Cotton Bowl
is at Dallas and the Gator Bowl
at Jacksonville.)
Now for our reasoning. We feel
that the East must be represented
in a Jan. 1 grid classic—either
the Cotton or Gater bowls. The
other pigskin extravaganzas of
that day are out of the picture for
obvious reasons.
Now, if the Lions beat Holy
Cross and Pitt, they will finish
with a 7-2 record and will no
doubt rank second or third
among the East's major colleges.
The Eastern championship will
be the winner of the Army-
Navy clash in Philadelphia Nov.
30—and to the winner will go a
bid to the Cotton Bowl.
However, we believe Army will
nix a Cotton Bowl bid. Our reason
—the Cadets value their 15-day
Christmas recess too much to give
it up for football.

According to the nations' grid experts, the Lions' chances
of performing before your TV screen on New Year's Day (or
Dec. 28th for the benefit of you Gater Bowl fans) is practically
nil.

There is no doubt that the 32-20

chances. Gator Bowl Selection

tha in a telephone interview
Tuesday with George Kiseda, an
enterprising Pittsburgh journalist.
'However, we feel that the com

Wolfson himself left this lee
