Freshman Gridders Face
Experienced Pitt Squad
By MATT MATHEWS, Associate Sports Editor
The Penn State freshmen travel to Pitt for their second
football encounter of the season in a "battle of the un
knowns." The game will start at 10 a.m. at Pitt's Wildwood
field.
"I have no idea what Pitt has or what they will throw
against us," commented freshman'
coach Earl ,Bruce
"Just off our records. I'd say
the game looks like an even bat
tle," Bruce said. "They beat the
West Virginia frosh. 35-0. and
we beat the same team by a
21.6 score in our only game."
"Of course we snould have
scored at least five touchdowns
against West Virginia, but our
ball handling was sloppy. We've?
been putting special emphasis on;
better ball handling and during!
the last few practices it has looked?
pretty good."
Bruce will have the same start.;

Team of
Furman is a team of the future.
That's the opinion of the man who should know best—
the Hurricane's mild-mannered coach Bob King.
"We're just starting to build," King said yesterday at
Beaver Field after watching his team warm-up on the Lions'
home turf. ''Football at Furman
has been down for several years,
but we're going to be up there in
a couple of years. Right now, we

50 freshmen on the team—boys
fresh out of high school. But we're
doing fine under the circum
stances "

letics at the South Carolina
educational plant because of it's

mately 1200 students, 800 of
whom are men, attend Furman.

but the war interrupted. However,
following the Nvar he went to
Illinois as end coach and was
there for 11 years until• his ap
pointment last summer to the
head job at Fur Man.
"We don't aspire to play a

"Nobody can beat them. They

How did King feel about his
