Syracuse Raps Nittanies, 14=6 There must have been an armored truck with machine gun-carrying guards waiting outside of the officials' dressing room at Beaver Field Saturday afternoon.

(A))—Twenty-two coal miners died yesterday in an explosion in the Pocahontas Fuel Co.'s Bishop Mine where 37 men met a similar fate early in 1957. First word that all 22 men trapped by the 8:20 a.m. (EST) blast were dead came by tele phone from Crawford Wilson, chief of the West Virginia Bur eau of Mines who descended into the mine with rescue workers. Wilson said the bodies had been found. Death, he added, was caused by a gas explosion, but he did not say whether the men had survived the explosion and died later of fumes. All 22 bodies had been brought out of the mine on the shaft ele vators by 6:15 p.m. They were wrapped tightly in white bed sheets with small white tags bear ing the names Of each. One official estimated 5000 persons were milling in the area as frhe rescue operations proceeded. Company officials announced the mine would be shut down in definitely. They said an imme diate investigation would be un dertaken to learn the cause of the disaster.

No, the Lion gridders didn't lose their third game of the year solely because of the officiating —but that helped. As a dejected and very angry Coach Rip Engle said after the game: "I'm not all - because we should have !won the football game . . . we lost the game on our own mis takes. But they sure officiated our offense out of the ball game." That they did—although the Lions didn't help matters them selves in the first half. Twice, the Nittany troops drove to within striking distance of the Orange goal line, but were stopped by their own errors. A fumble by Bucky Paolone on the Syracuse eight yard line on the first series of downs ruined the first touchdown bid which started on the Lion 20. Then in the second quarter, end John 80, , Fmk, standing alone in the Or ange end zone muffed a perfect fourth down pass from Richie Lu cas—and a' 62-yard drive halted on the 11-yard line.
