Renews Duel
With Greene
(Continued from page one)
haven't beaten anyone of much
national—or even Eastern—im
portance. Their victories have
been over Dartmouth. 14-8, Bos
ton University, 16.8, Dayton, 26-
0, and Colgate, 20-0.
By comparative games, to
day's encounter should be even.
For the Lions were beaten by
Syracuse, 14.6, but licked Bos
ton University with ease, 34-0.
The other victories have been
over Penn, 43-0, Marquette, 40-
8, and Furman, 36-0. Losses
were to Nebraska, 14-7, and Ar
my, 26-0, and there was a 14.14
tie with West Virginia last
week.
There's somewhat of a jinx
working in the Lions' favor to
day. Poly Cross has never beat
en State in three meetings—but
they're getting closer. The first
two encounters ended in routs,
39-7. in 1954 and, 43-0, in 1956.
But last year, the Lions were
lucky to grab a 14-10 win. In
doing so, they stopped the Cru
sade r a' All-American candi
date Tom Greene six inches
short of the goal on the last
minute of the game.
Greene. the star of that game
for Holy Cross, returns this year.
He completed nine of 25 passes
for 233 yards, including a 78-yard
touchdown job to end Charlie Pa
cunas.
However, Penn State's hero in
last year's game, halfback Dave
Kasperian, is also back. Kasper
ian, who is a Worcester, Mass.,
native—the location of Holy Cross
—gained 97 yards on 16 carries;
returned one kickoff for 66 yards
and two punts for 33; caught one
pass for 28 yards; and was a dea
mon on defense.
Because of his performance,
Holy Cross Coach Dr. Eddie An
derson called Kasperian "a man
who has a blow torch for a
heart."
After a slow start this season
and a multitude of injuries, Kas
perian seems to be back in form.
He's the Lions' leading ground
gainer with 330 yards on 80 trips
(4.1 yards per carry) and top scor
er with 46 points on seven TDs
and four PATs.
Kasperian will start in the Lion
backfield at left half, teaming
with sophomore Jim Kerr (right
half), Richie Lucas (quarterback)
and Pat Botula (fullback). Botu
la trails Kasperian in rushing by
36 yards. He has picked up 294
yards in 65 carries for a 4.5 aver
age. Lucas is second in scoring
with six TDs and four conversions
for 40 points.
Two changes will be made in
Penn State's starting forward
wall and both because of in
juries. Junior Norm Neff will
replace John Bozick at left end
and junior Tom Mulraney will
go at right tackle for Joe Bo
hart. Bozick has a sprained
neck and Bohart a bruised leg.
The rest of the lineup will find
Maury Schleicher at end, Andy
Stynchula at tackle, Chuck Rus
lavage and Bill Popp at guards
and captain Steve Garban at cen
ter.
This will be the final home
game in the careers of seniors
B Ohar t, Schleicher, Ruslavage,
Garban and Kasperian. Six other
seniors will also be playing their
final game before the home crowd
—quarterbacks Al Jacks and Bob
Scrabis, fullback Andy Moconyi,
halfback Bucky Paolone an d
guards Willard Smith and Bill
Wehmer.
Another senior halfback
Bruce Gilmore played his
final game three weeks ago. He
was .sidelined for the season
after the Syracuse tilt with a
knee injury.
Injuries will also keep a couple
of Holy Cross standouts from the
game. Fullback Joe Stagnone—
the Crusaders' leading ground
gainer—was left in Worcester
with a badly bruised knee and
end Charlie Pacunas is out with
a leg ailment.
Either John Espositio or con
verted halfback Frank Vita will
replace Stagnone and junior Ber
nie Buzyniski will replace Pa
cunas.

According to a University long

to be dismantled and used as the
basis for the new stadium.
The long-range report called
construction of the stadium
tween 1961 and 1965, but it
been given top priority by
trustees. —.•
"Final approval of the plan
cannot be given until the Uni
versity Board of Trustees meets
in January,'' explained James
Coogan, director of Public In
formation. "Nothing has really
'jelled' yet."
Ernest B. McCoy. dean of the
College of Physical Education and
Athletics, said the stadium "has
to be moved now because of the
value of the land for classrooms."
McCoy explained that the present
site is close to the academic cen
ter of the campus.
McCoy said the move is eco
nomical at this time because of
the "big-time" schedules the foot
ball team will undertake and also
;because of the increased student
enrollment.
In a preliminary plan submit-
I fed by the Baker consultants,
the estimates were based on
stadium capacities of 42,500 and
51.000. Approximate costs for
the entire area ranged from
$2,938.000 for the smaller ca.
patity to $3,228,000 for the 51,-

moved closer to the field. Coogan
said the angle is not steep enough
and the fans' view of action
would be blocked by the persohs
sitting in front.
Coogan said further there is
"considerable question" over
whether the stadium could be
completed for the coming sea
son if it is approved by the trus
tees.
"It all depends on the contrac
tor," Coogan said., "He will know
if we can +play football in" the new
stadium by '59."
Some of the other expansion
plans under discussion or already
approved include:
• Two extensions to Recreation
Hall. These two extensions have
been approved by the Board of
Trustees and sent to the General
State Authority for finances. They
will include:
1. Two swimming pools along
the southern end of Rec Hall.
2. A "multi-purpose gymnas

7, Bemoans Injuries

By Lou Prato
Sports Editor
"This has been a most unusual year for injuries," the lean
gentleman was saying at Beaver Field last night.
No—it wasn't the voice of perm State's coach Rip Engle
but that of Dr. Eddie Anderson, the esteemed grid scholar
from Holy Cross.
•Anderson, who is the nation's senior active major college
grid mentor with 33 years as a head coach, was watching his
team warm-up on the Lions' home turf.
"We have really- been hit 'with injuries recently," the
