connect in two attempts.
Their reeievers—Tom Daniel,
Dick Evans, Tom Kurkoski, and
Dick Weede are all lettermen.
Patrick said V.M.l’s line is about
the same size as Penn State’s with
good speed and plenty of agress-
Tveness.
Two of the top Keydet linemen
didn’t earn letters last year but
improved so much during spring
practice that they are being re
lied upon to strengthen the for

At halfback, V. M. I has its top

Stinson Jones will be at one
post and either Ken Scott or John
Traynham will be at the other.
Scott, a senior from Pittsburgh, is
a speedster who performed on
the Keydet track team. Traynham
averaged 4 2 yards per carry last
year and is rated as one of the
best backs ever to hit V.M.I.
As Penn State coach Rip Engle
sees it, tomorrow’s game will bej
a real “tough one,” He and Pat- :
rick agree that it is the most im-]

"They have tremendous esprit

said, “and they’ll really be going
