Schleicher Named
Player of Week
By MATT MATHEWS, Associate Sports Editor
The caption on the Alumni Newsletter this week simply reads
"Mainice Schleicher—Player of the Week."
The oustanding player was so obvious this week that Ridge Riley,
aluciuu executi‘e seci etai y and editor (and only write!) of the news
letter, didn't need to wait for Collegian to announce the POW se
lection-- it was unanimous floor all standpoints.
Evcn the Furman players joined in the praise of the 6-3, 225-
pound end. Then comment ranged from "Ile sure could outmaneuver

us," to "That guy could really catch passes. How do you block a
man like him?" and "He's another All-American candidate."
Heading the list of Schleicher rooters is Riley: "Schleicher
seems finally to have come into his own. He's had a tough season,
changing from a fullback to end. With many of the physical attri
butes of a great wingman, (size, more than average speed, and
great hands) Maurice had to become adjusted to his new assign
ments. He's now something for future opponents to worry about."
Among his successes against Furman, Schleicher caught six
passes, including one off his shoetops for two extra points and
another on the Furman 40 that would have gone for a TD except
that he stepped on the chalkhne after eluding the only defender
111 sight.
On the third TD drive he caught three passes to peisonally
account for 47 of the 67 yards in the drive and also snared a 21-
yarder on the next TD drive.
• In making the POW voting unanimous, Collegian sports editor
Lou Prato commented: "My pick would unquestionably be Schlei
cher. Against Furman he looked like the pass receiver we have
missed all season. He may now begin to take up the slack left by
Les Walters' graduation.
"His defensive work has been great since Army and in previous
weeks he has received POW votes solely for his defensive play.
If he can keep up the receiving end as he did Saturday, it would
help Penn State in the remaining three games."
Accomplished Booter
Ed Crel:aj, now business man
ager of athletics, booted 32 extra
points in 1947 to set a Penn State
football record which still stands.

Penn State held on to its
third place ranking on rushing
offense behind Colorado and
Brigham Young. The Nittanies
have rolled for 1820 yards, av
eraging 260 yards per-game.

The Lions are not ranked in
any other major team statis

irginia, is eighth in scoring.
Coach Pappy Lewis' Mounties
have averaged 26.6 points a
game in seven outings for a
186-point total.
Penn State also fails to list
a man among any of the
NCAA individual leaders, but
West Virginia has quarterback

LSU Ranked First by AP;
lowa, Army Follow Again
Match the top five teams in the Southeastern Conference
against the top five in the Big Ten and what would happen?
That question has stirred up a lot of lively and never
decided arguments in football circles. And, as reflected in
this week's Associated Press ranking poll, does little to
settle them.
The balloting of sports writers
and broadcasters gave Louisiana,
State, the unbeaten, untied SEC'
leader, the edge over once-tied
lowa, the Big Ten pacesetter. It
gave Northwestern a shade over
Auburn and put Wisconsin and
Purdue ahead of Mississippi.
The two conferences virtually
monopolized -the top ten places
in the ratings, leaving room
only for Army No. 3, Oklahoma
No. 6 and the Air Force Aca
demy No. 10.
For the second straight week
LSU, lowa and Army ran 1-2-3 in
the balloting, with not too many
points separating them. Then
came the implausible Northwest
