Mathews. Besides being the pick of the five, Botula was the unanimous selection of the press corps at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. Another of the biggest boosters of his performance Saturday was Lion alumni secretary Ridge Ri ley, an expert sports analyst on the Penn State scene for many years. In his interpretive Alumni Newsletter, Riley tabbed Botula as the Lion's "bread and butter" man. Riley further commented: "His performance was the bright light of a dismal after. noon. Most of Botula's gains (he carried the ball 27 times) were made from the 'inside bel ly play' as it is inelegantly called." Head coach Rip Engle went Riley one better and said Botula "looked like an All-American. He was terrific, not only in his run ning but also his blocking and defensive work. Had he had a block on a couple of plays, he would have gone all the way." Looking at Botula's statistics, it is easy to see why he was a unanimous choke. Not only did he carry the ball the most (27 limes), but he by far outgained any other individual with 122 yards to his credit. His 122 yards was only one short of the modern Penn State ground gaining record for full backs. The record was set by Paul Anders against Boston University in 1951. to Open The second flight, stalling at 7:30, pits Phi Kappa Sigma against Alpha Tau Omel,a in the fraternity division, while the Terrors play Nittan 7 24 and the Rockets challenge Yem megems in the independent lid-lifters.

"Bohart may even miss the Army game," team doctor Al fred Griess said yesterday. "He's on crutches now and won't practice at all this week. Just how he'll be next week is another story. However, the X-rays of his ankle showed no breaks, so maybe that's a lucky sign." Schleicher's charley horse kept him out of contact drills for the past two days, but Coach Rip En gle thinks the massive terminal will be ready by Saturday. If', not, sophomore Stu Barber will step into his slot on the first unit.; Bohart, who according to Penn State's coaches was the Lions' out-, standing lineman against th el Cornhuskers, will be replaced by junior Chuck Janerette. Janer ette saw some action with the starting team Saturday after 80, , hart was injured in the third period. "We're going to miss Bohart," Engle said very dejectedly. "He was our best lineman both of fens iv ely and defensively against Nebraska. In fact. he was the only one of our line men that played well the whole game." With Janerette moving up, Engle competition. Each member of the independent champion team will be awarded a ster ling silver medal.

Sophomore Jim Schwab will probably take Barber's spot as the second team end if-Schleicher is unable to play. However, Engle isn't sure what he'll do, "Do I have a second unit now?" he said sar donically yesterday. "With all those injuries, I'm lucky to field one strand team let alone two." One bright spot in all this pes simism is the return of veteran Andy Moconyi. Moconyi, last year's starting right halfback who was transfered to fullback this fall, missed the Nebraska opener because of a badly twisted knee. He is working out in full equip ment for the first time in two weeks and will probably be ready for the Philadelphia rival. Two other men who missed the Cornhusker tilt are also expected to play, including sophomore scatback Jim Kerr. Kerr made the trip to Nebraska over the weekend but an over night flu developMent forced him to the sidelines. Tackle John Sava was absent because of leg and arm ailments, but he is being counted on this weekend.
