"Could be," I a swered as Joe applied the shaver to the back
of my neck, "but T ouldn't bet on it. Syracuse has to play West
Virginia and Bosto U. yet, and either one could beat them."
"You're just full of sour grapes, man," Joe retorted. "Syracuse
beat us and that's that."
"We're not taking anything away from Syracuse," I said. "But
West Virginia and BU are tough. We trampled BU, but the score
should have been closer. That long interception broke their backs
and opened the gates for us. And the Mounties aren't as bad as
their record sounds. Pitt was lucky to beat them."
"Oh, there you go again," Joe said, "always saying the other
team is lucky. But when Penn State wins, you never say anything
about luck. Man, you sure area sore loser."
"Wait a minute," I said. "I'm not criticizing Syracuse. If they
win the rest of their games, they deserve a bowl bid. But they
have to win them first—and Pitt, too. Their name has been men
tioned as a possible Gator Bowl selection. But they have to win
the rest of their games, including Notre Dame and us."
"Oh, now, man, don't tell me you think we're going to beat Pitt,"
Joe said as he swatted his customer across the back of the neck
with the hair brush. "If you pick State, then I'm taking Pitt. You're
always wrong. And what about West Virginia? I suppose you're
going to pick State over them? And Holy Cross, too. Man, you're
full of it."
"Settle down, old boy. Remember that heart of yours. I didn't
say Penn State was going to beat any of those teams. But I sure
hope they do. I think they can if they play the type of game
they're capable of—if they avoid mistakes like fumbles and
dropped passes—and if they get a few breaks."
• "Don't ask for too much, man," Joe said very sarcastically.
"Penn State has played only one real good game this year and
that was against Boston U. Outside of that, they've been hot and
cold—mostly cold. And so have you. You better transfer to Syracuse
where they have a good team."
"Ok, Ok," I said as Joe applied the razor to the sideburns. "You
can razz me all you want to, but I'll still back Penn State . • ."
"Yeah, man," Joe interrupted, "you'll back them right over a
cliff. They're through, I tell you. They'll be lucky to win one more
game, let alone three. Sure, they beat Furman and they showed a
strong passing attack. But, man, who in the heck is Furman . .
Just like Penn and Marquette. State can beat those poor little fel
lows, but they can't beat the big boys."
. "Ok," I said, stepping down from the chair, "you'll see. Penn
State will win at least two of those last three—and maybe all
three."
"Wanna bet another haircut?" Joe asked as I started out the
door. "And I'll chip in a shave."

Phi Mu Deft, Beta in League Ties
Beaver House Tops ASC
To Earn Playoff Berth
By JOHN BLACK
With the intramural pig
skin season rapidly drawing to
a close, Beaver House dumped
Alpha Chi Sigma, 9-0, to earn
a berth in the single elimina
tion playoff tournament.
Phi Mu Delta edged Acacia and,
the Skidrowers nicked the Ham-1
ilton Warriors by a lead in first,
downs and Beta Theta Pi won a
forfeit from Alpha Epsilon Pi as
the winners gained ties for their,
respective league titles.
Other action in previously
rained-out games saw Phi Gam
ma Delta grab
bing an overtime:
victory from Al
p h a Chi Rho,
thanks to a fine
defensive p 1 a y
by hard-charging
Bill Harman.
The Hamilton
Bull dogs shut
out the Fightin'
Fifth, 13-0; the
Diggers out
scored the Eels,
Sill Harman 14-9; and the
Cavemen forfeited to the fifty
niners to complete regular sea
son play in the independent
loops.
The strong right arm of Ron
Blend allowed the Phi Mu Delts
to beat Acacia and thus earn a
tie with Phi Epsilon Pi for the
League 'G' crown.
Acacia scored on the first
play from scrimmage on a 56-
yard sleeper play as Russ Knoll
tossed to Bob Bastian racing
down the sidelines. John Mc-
Sparren kicked the extra point.
Phi Mu Delta countered late in
the first half as Blend passed 10
yards to Bob Luff in the end
zone. Blend converted and the 7-7
score stood until the end of the
game.
But Phi Mu had piled up a
commanding lead in first
downs as Blend, time and again
hit his favorite tar get s—his
twin brother Rick and his left
end Luff.
Beaver House set what must be
some sort of an IM record by
scoring on two consecutive plays
as they scored all nine of their,
points within seven seconds.
The Beavers' Bernie Settle
meyer kicked a 15-yard field goal
and on the ensuing kick-off Ted
Lopushinsky knocked an at
tempted Alpha Chi Sigma pass
into the arms of Jim Craig who
raced 25 yards to paydirt.
Interceptions proved to be the
downfall of the Eels as two errant
aerials set up touchdowns for the
Diggers who emerged on the long
end of a 14-9 score. Larry Dodds
picked off an Eel pass, then threw
15 yards to John Elich for six
points. Harry Saxer ran back his
interception 30 yards to paydirt.
Howard Farrer booted two PAT's,
Hall Weaver tossed scoring aer
ials to Russ Charlesworth and
Walt Kearney as the Hamilton
Bulldogs hung a 13-0 defeat on
the Fightin' Fifth.
Longest Win Streak
Penn State posted its longest
football win s tr e a . k-30 games
without defeat—during the 1919-
1922 seasons.

WHAT DO IDO NOW COACH? . A questioning grimace con
torts the face of an Eels ball carrier as he looks in vain for some
running room in intramural grid action last night. The Eels lost
their game to the Diggers, 14-9.
Leahy Praises Izo
For Passing Ability
NEW YORK (/P) Frank Leahy, sounding more like an
enthusiastic alumnus than an excoach, Monday praised Notre
Dame quarterback George Izo as a passer equal to any he
ever had seen.
The former Notre Dame coach, now a part-time football
broadcaster during the season,
also told the New York Football
Writers' Association that it was
for him to believe the Fighting
Irish were a twice-beaten team
when he saw them play Navy
Saturday.
Then, taking the edge off
what appeared to be second
guessing his successor, Leahy
chuckled: "I wouldn't be talk
ing like this if I still was a
coach."
During his coaching tenure,
Leahy was nOted for gloomy pre
dictions and for his caution in
praising players until the season
had ended. Monday his prediction
was that the Irish will give their
opponents a lot of trouble the rest
of this year.
"I believe the team is anxious
to have Izo direct the attack,"
PAGE ELEVEN
Leahy said: "He is a fine leader
and when the other players like
the quarterback they block hard
er and play harder-for him and
become a much better team.
