22 Coal Miners
Die in. Bishop
Mine Explosion
BISHOP, Va. (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.

For the arbiters, with their
obviously biased penalty calls
against the home team, spoiled
the complexities of Saturday's
affair.
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
