Nittany Lions, Army Equal
In Fullback Department
By JIM KARL
So far Penn State's shaky
pass defense and Army's re
portedly rugged passing attack
have been the focal points of
much speculation by local arm
chair quarterbacks.
But when the going gets rough
in tomorrow's Beaver . Stadium
contest between the two eastern
powers, look for State's Dave
Hayes and Army's Al Rushatz—
the opposing fullbacks—to be
carrying the ball.
Both are blue chip players
who get that extra yard when
it counts the most.

Don Catlin will direct the Reddies.
Hall is still hindered by a
bruised shoulder he received in
the loss to Miami. and unless he
is pressed coach Rip Engle will
probably save him for Syracuse
next week.
Bob Hart, the Lions injured
right guard, is working out with
the Reddie Unit and will probably
be able to play against Syracuse
also.
Harriers Will Face
Big Red's Machooka
Penn State's cross country team extended a two season
victory skein to seven straight by beating Pitt Saturday, but
everything could come crashing down tomorrow when the
harriers entertain a strong Cornell squad on the golf course.
"This is probably the best Cor

Lion coach Chick Werner said
