Jonas has appeared in every game since the injury, but the closest he came to running the ball was on a. point conversion that backfired against Pitt. Galen Hall tried to run with . the ball after fumbling the snapback but he was quickly boxed in by charging Panthers. He flipped the ball to Jonas, momentarily forgetting that the Lion halfback was lacking pads. The Pitt linemen quickly switched their pursuit to Jonas, who didn't lose any time drop kicking the ball in the general direction of the goal posts. Need less to say the attempt was no hoed, but the play drew guffaws from the crowd and players. Prior to the injury Jonas start ed at right halfback and led the team in rushing with 4.8 yards per carry. He had five passes to his credit for 75 yards and a touch down. All in all this year Jonas scored two touchdowns, kicked 17 extra points and six field goals for a total of 47 points to finish second to Roger Icochinan in the scoring department. Koehman had 56 points on nine TDs and two extra points. Jonas had his shoulder unwired a few days before the Pitt game. Team Physician Alfred H. Griess said that the injury was a little more serious than teammate Dave Robinson's. Robinson suffered a shoulder separation against Navy in the opener and was back in action six weeks later against Maryland. It will be a full 10 weeks since Jonas' mishap when State tangles with Tech in Jacksonville. in other developments along the Gator Bowl front, head coach Rip Engle k in Philadelphia today to view the Army-Navy contest while three of his aids have im portant business to attend to in Athens, Ga.

I Dodd said that he was hoping the Bowl wouldn't pass-up the Lions. "Now don't get me wrong," he said. "I have nothing against Miami, but when you pit the East, against the South in a bowl game, you just naturally attract more interest than you would with two, southern schools." Dodd's only regret is that hel won't get a chance to scout State' in an actual game. "Up until last week we thought' !we were going to be playing, Maryland," he said. "Penn State' j 'didn't seem to be in the picture then. As it turns out, we're much" happier with Penn State than we! would have been with Maryland. We simply feel that Penn State has developed into a stronger team than Maryland. "I don't think there is any doubt, that Penn State is the best team in the East. Any club that can score 47 points on Pittsburgh has to be pretty good." The Lions hive met Tech fourji times, winning two and losing' two, with the most recent' meet-1 ing way back in 1925. The series has produced some; thrilling games. In 1921, Tech; scored on the first play but Glenn Killinger ran back the kickoff fors a Lion touchdown and State went! on to win, 28-7. In 1923, Lighthorse Harry Wil son paced Penn State to a 7-0 victory over the Engineers. The Jackets won 15-13 in a games played in Atlanta in 1924.
