The Sportse 1 -By Lou Prato 1 Sports Editor Despite Penn State’s 40-8 rout over Marquette at the annual- Homecoming pigskin extravanganza last Satuiday, midst of the 22,300 fans who witnessed the scrap went away grumbling and full of criticism for the Lion football program “Why don’t they play someone good,” one of the Lion castigators said. “They, always schedule a team they can beat easily. Why couldn’t they play a team like Army for us (Alumni) instead of a weak team dike Marquette?” Well, my friends, lei's not be 100 harsh on our schedule makers. After all, they have quite a problem pleasing every one. And one of their major ob stacles is trying to seduce a top national grid power into play ing at Beaver Field. With its small sealing capacity. (33,000), the Lions' home den isn't very appealing (financially or other wise—but mostly financially) to a team the caliber of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, North Carolina and so forth. Another reason (call it an alibi) for the so-called “poor” opponent is the duration from the day the game is scheduled until the day the tilt is finally played. In some cases, it may be eight years. (Penn State already has most of its schedules completed through 1964.) Both teams may be out standing at the time the contract is signed, but when the game is played, one may be good ond the other bad But why did Penn State sched ule Marquette? Let's let Moon Mullins, the Warriors’ eminent athletic director tell us. "One reason," the ex-Notre Dame standout said, is because the schedule is ade up so far in we scheduled the schedule is made up so far years ago, we thought that by 19S8 we would be ablp to com pete with teams such! as Penn State, TCU, Wisconsin, Ari zona State and others on our schedule. And, in tun , our op ponents felt the same way. “But, as you have se he continued, “we ha\ reached that plane. H State) have a realgood I thought you’d win bu ed the score to be mu Amen. Mullins also had a word cbm paring Penn State witfy Wiscon sin, a team that beat th» Warriors 50-0 the week before the Lion conquest. "I think a Wiscosjisin-Penn Slate battle would make a real good game," Mullins said. "It would probably be a toss-up. From what I've seen, you have a real strong first team but I don't know about the depth. That’s where Wisconsin would beat you—with depth.!

Lucky Lou, Prato, whose picks SAIL ON, SAIL ONI I suppose October 12 is just another day to you. You get up in the ordinary way and do all the ordinary things you ordinarily do. You lmve your breakfast, you walk your ocelot, you go to classes, you write home for money, you burn the dean in effigy, you watch Disneyland, and you go to bed. And do you give one little thought to the fact that October 12 is Columbus Day? No, you do not. Nobody thinks about Columbus these days. Let us, there fore, pause for a moment and retell his ever-glorious, endlessly stirring saga. Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa on August 25,1451. His father, Ralph T. Columbus, was in the three-minute auto wash game. Ilis mother, Eleanor (Swifty) Columbus, was a sprinter. Christopher was an only child, except for his four brothers and eight sisters. With his father busy all day at the auto wash and his mother constantly away at track meets, young Columbus was left pretty much to his own devices. However, the lad did not sulk or brood. He was an avid reader and spent all his waking houra immersed in a book. Unfor tunately, there was only one book in Genoa at the time— Care of the Hone by Aristotle—and after several years of reading Care of the Horse, Columbus grew restless. So when rumor reached him that there was another book in Barcelona, off he ran as fast as his fat. little legs would carry him. The rumor, alas, proved false. The only book in Barcelona was Cuidar vn Caballo by Aristotle,, which proved to be nothing more than a Spanish translation of Care of the Horse. Bitterly disappointed, Columbus began to dream of going to India where, according to legend, there were thousands of books. But the only way to go to India was on horseback, and after so many years of reading Care of the Horst, Columbus never wanted to clap eyes on a horse again. Then a new thought struck him: perhaps it was possible to get to India by sea! Fired with his revolutionary new idea, Columbus raced to the court of Ferdinand and Isabella on his little fat legs (Co lumbus was plagued with little fat legs all his life) and pleaded his case with such fervor that the rulers were persuaded. On October 12, 1492, Columbus set foot on the New World. The following year he returned to Spain with a cargo of wonders never before seen in Europe—spices and metals and plants and flowers and—most wondrous of all—tobacco! Oh, what a sensa tion tobacco caused in Europe! The filter had long since been invented (by Aristotle, curiously enough) but nobody knew what to do with itr Now Columbus, the Great Discoverer, made still another great discovery: lie took a filter, put tobacco in front of it, and invented the world’s first filler cigarette! Through the centuries filters have been steadily improved and so has tobacco, until today we have achieved the ultimate in the filter cigarette—Marlboro, of course! Oh, what a piece of work is Marlboro! Great tobacco, great filter, great smoke! And so, good friends, when next you enjoy a fine Marlboro Cigarette, give a thought to the plucky Genoese, Christopher Columbus, whose vision and perseverance made the whole lovely thing possible. And thank Columbus too for Philip Morris Cigarettes, for those who want the best in non-filter smoking. Philip Morris joins Marlboro in bringing you these columns throughout the school year. til the end of the season." Prato was first in his picks tw r o years ago. The only real stickler in tha picks this week w r as the Yale- Columbia game. Everyone picked Yale. (Columbia won 13-0). French, whose limb may break any tune now, went way out and picked Wake Forrest over North Carolina State and Texas A&M over Maryland. (kCanpSM&nn the Author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!
