THAT MAKES IT 27-o—Dick Pae appears to be stopped just short
of the goal line, but he had enough momentum to carry himself
into the end zone for the Nittany Lions fourth score against Holy
Cross Saturday. No. 12 is Lion halfback Tony Wayne.

McCoy said last night that
any action on the bid would
probably be held off until after
the Pitt game Saturday.
"It's a real honor to be chosen
as the first team for the Liberty
Bowl," Penn State captain Pat
Botula said, "but first we have to
worry about Pitt."
Lion coach Rip Engle voiced a
"no comment" when he heard the
news. The "Ripper" seemed more
concerned with Saturday's game.
The Liberty Bowl will be
played Dec. 19, in Philadelphia's

The game will be televised

Lucas passed and ran for 216
yards and in doing so, broke
Penn State's total offense record
for a single season. His new mark
of 1184 yards broke Lenny Moore's '
record of 1082 yards set in 1954.
The win was the eighth for
the seventh-ranked Lions in
nine starts this year. They have
one more scheduled game with
Pitt this weekend in Pittsburgh.
Holy Cross now stands at 6-2
with two games to be played.
The Crusaders, ranked sixth in

line.
That was the first and last
time the Crusaders were in the
ball game.
Lucas took over for the Nittany
Lions and the massacre was on.
With the ball on his own 23, the

Script Contest
Will Be Held
By Thespians
Thespians are scouting for
talent again. But this time
their search is for a script
writer rather than an actor or
musician
Thespians are sponsoring a
script-writing contest with a total
of $lOO in prizes. The selected
text will be used for the fall show
next year, which is always written
by a incrnber of the student body
or faculty.
Accorling to Theodore Pauloski,
Thespian president, all scripts
must be turned into the Employee
Relations Office, SO3 Old Main
before Dec. 16.
"Although the fall shows in the
past have been musical reviews,
this is not what we are looking
for this year," Pauloski explained.
"Instead we are looking for a book
show such as 'Mr. Roberts' or
'Cat on the Hot Tin Roof,' or a
plot similar to a Broadway show,"
he said.
A brig' sketch of each charac
ter and a scenario on the entire
show with two scenes fully writ
ten must be F ibmitted. The entire
show need not be written before
the deadline,
The contest is open to all under
graduate and graduate students

LP's Oppose
West Penn Plan
A plan to cut a 100-foot path for a power line along the
timberline on symbolic Mt. Nittany is being proteSted by the
Lion's Paw Alumni Association.
The West Penn Power Co. has acquired a 100-foot wide
right-of-way along the mountain to put in a power line for
providing additional bulk power,
to the State College area, accord
ing to Robert A. Novotny, district
engineer for the company.
"Certainly a 100-foot gash cut!
across the face of the mountain is
going to add nothing to Mt. Nit-1
tany's natural beauty," Robeit M.
Koser, association president. said.
"We feel that there are plenty of,
other routes for the proposed pow
er line"
However, the Association will
do everything it can to prevent
the power line from being cut
through, Koser said.
The Association purchased 560;
acres of the , mountain in 1946 lo
preserve its beauty as a Univer
sity symbol.
When asked just how the Asso
ciation planned to prevent the;
plan, Koser said, "The next move
is up to the power company. When
we find out what they're going
to do, we will take our next step.",
The decision on whether or not
the company will proceed with the
line may be made at a district
meeting to be held this afternoon
in Greensburg, Novotny said.
The Lion's Paw group, cam

the senior society, are fighting

All the trees and shrubbery are
