Last week of the Pacific, Navy atu There’s another type of character who believes in newspaper prognosticators—to a degree. When the selector (in his case the Associated Press’ Will Grimsley—see page 6) chooses a winner by a big score and the polls call the game even, this student plays the winner hoping for a one or two-point margin. The disadvantage to his system is that everybody wants him to pick a winner for winner for them this week. The female view is interesting also. (Our Collegian personnel director Pat Evans warned me not to use the name of the coed here—so I won't.) This "particular" coed bicks the colleges where she has friends. "Of course I also pick the schools with pretty names," she related as she asked for a dime (for a cup of coffee). My roommate has plenty of confidence in my picks—he picks the opposite of my four ‘‘sure things.” I don’t really mind, he gives me a cut of his winnings. With that background I pick the upset of -the week—South Carolina over Clemson, (tonight). While reading a story last week that Lion coach Rip Engle has started nearly everybody except head manager Ed Hintz, I was reminded of a high school incident this year. It seems a Wisconsin high school was trailing its opponent late in the game, 53-7. The losing coach was so desperate for substitutes that he just pointed down the end of the bench and shoved the last guy into the game. The fellow happened to be sportswriier Herb Van Driel of the Appleton Post-Crescent. Van Driel later explained to the coach that he wanted to play to break a personal record. In three years of playing end at his high school, he never caught a pass. The coach kept him out. WORDS TO IMPRESS YOUR IMPORT BY: Buttonhook—when an end goe3 10 yards downfield and stops dead as he turns and catches a pass. Zero Automatic—Lucas' rollout, usually around his left end.

PENNSYLVANIA Lions Host Rival MSU On Saturday 8 National Titles Held by 2 Teams More often than not, the win ner—or loser—of the Michigan State-Penn State cross-country dual meet has gone on to win the IQ4-A or NCAA champion ships. The Spartans will enter Satur day’s dual meet on the Univer sity golf course with a 9-G dual meet edge over the Lions. The results of the first (1939) and last (1957) meetings between the two schools bear a remark able resemblance. Both years the Spartans won by a narrow 24-31 margin. While the harriers from East Lansing won the NCAA title in 1938, the 1957 Spartan squad finished second in the NCAA’s with 127 points—five points be hind Notre Dame. , The Lions dropped their first two encounters in 1939 and 1940 (35-20), despite some fine running by the Nittames’ "Wild Bill” Smith, 1938 IC4-A individual champion.

The Terps and Lions have met 10. times and the Terps have always come in second. The series dates back to 1948 when the Lions were still under the wing of coach Bill Jef frey. He coached the Lions until 1952 when Kenny Hosterman took over. During those years the Maryland-Penn State game was always a crucial one with the Lions winning by close scores ex cept for 1952 when they won 11-0. This year's game will be no different. Right now it looms as the most important on the Nit tany schedule, for the Lions must beat the Terps to stay in contention for the national title.
