Running of Pitt's QB's
Threatens Lions Defense
Although Pitt coach John
Michelosen has patterned his
"new" Panther offense around
the forward pass, Lion scout
Sever 'Tor" Toretti feels the
running of the Panther quarter
hacks is the Lions' number one
defensive problem.
"This year Miehelosen is using
the pass as the primary offensive
weapon," Toretti said "But it
we're going to beat them we'll
have to stop the quarterbacks—
ONLY
DAYS
UNTIL
PITT
Ivan Toncic and Bill. Kaliden."
"Kaliden licked us on the roll
outs last year and off one he
threw the 45-yard pass to Scherer
that won the game for them."
(The Scherer TD tied the score.
13-13, and Norton Seaman kicked
the winning extra point.)
Totetti also pointed out that
KaMen, although playing on the
second team behind Toncic, had
not lost his running touch as he
scored the winning TO against
Notre Dame on a rollout.
"Toncic and Kaliden are real
fine passers," added Toretti. "And
they have two other boys who
can throw a good pass"
Toncic has the best aerial rec
ord. He's completed 40 of 62
passes. for 610 yards, and four
TD's (with six interceptions).
Kaliden has completed 39 of 81,
for 599 yards, and 3 TD's (and
only four interceptions).
The third passer—sophomore
quarterback Ed Schrockman—hit
on 8 of 25 tosses and one TD The
fourth thrower is halfback Dick
"The Comet" Haley. The flashy
halfback throws off the option
play and, according to Toretti, is
very effective. He's completed
five of nine (and had two inter
cepted.)
Haley is Pitt's best all-around
back. On the ground "The Comet"
has gained 272 yards in 80 runs,

Team Rejects Coach Paterno
Pittsburgh Scow Caught
in Gridiron Espionage
By "BLACK JOHN" BLACK
A second State College Crime wave has just been solved.
In a daring escapade that brought everyone but J. Edgar
Hoover to Beaver Field in a vigilant manhunt yesterday, Al.,
fred E. Kosnosky, from Pitt, was caught spying on the secret
practice session of the The Daily Collegian "Pro" grid squad.
Local authorities said a crush
proof box of pencil crayons in his
shirt pocket may also be a shred
of evidence as to the identity of
the phantom painter that struck
the Nittany Lion statue and Pat
tee Library pillars last weekend.
Under harsh interrogation
Kosnosky pleaded in n o cence
saying "Coach Michelosen sent
me un to scout for the big game
and this team looked so big and
so polished that I thought it
must be the varsity."
He is being held without hail
lat. the County Jail pending inves
tigation of reports that he was
trying to steal Beaver Field. His
unconcerned statement was, "I
did it mostly for fun. I amused
myself by sitting on too of the
taress box watchin' the cops
search for me."
After it was learned that
"Beano" Cook, Pitt publicity cli
irector had been linked to a $5O,
;000 contract to coach the Pitt
!news aggregation, benefactors of

,the Colleeian team pulled out all
!stops to find a first rate mentor

Joe Paterno. a Lien coach.
volunteered for the job. but
Acrid investigation proved he
had an ulterior motive. He
claims it is the coach's right to
keep "The Trophy."
Printer Bill Canouse was con
sidered until he demanded over
time if practice lasted later than
2 a.m.
Then the selection board came
uo with the name of a highly
touted but virtually unknown
coach Collegian Personnel Di
rector Pat Evans. Most fans over
look the fact that Pat experienced
unlimited success a few years ago
coaching little league teams; be
sides, she has the psychological
advantage of distracting the op
posing team while on the field.
She follows Rio Engle's policy
'of coaching in Bermuda shorts.
But the deciding factor in Pat's
selection was her renunciation of
iany desire to keep "The Trophy."
