"Then there were two more explosions, not as loud as the first" Thomas J.

The Panthers (5-4) host the Lions (8-1) at 1:30 in a game that may draw upwards of 50,000 to the Pitt Stadium. . The Nittanies, ranked ninth nationally by both the Associ ated Press and Unifed Press International, have been prom inently mentioned dn rumors about post-season bowls. But a loss to the Panthers would put a damper on the Lions' hopes. The fact that the Lions are headed for a possible bowl berth just adds fuel to the Panther fire. These t\Vo teams are noted for knocking each other off when there is bowl talk in the air. FIVF '"'NTS IN ADDITION, the Panthers are eager to avenge the 47-26 defeat they suffered at the hands of Rip EnglVs Lions last Pitt holds a 32-25-3 edge in the series that started in 1893, ‘ but the Lions have dominated the rivalry, 7-4-1, under Engle’s tutelage. There is more than bowl .talk and reflection on past rec ords in the air on the evO of THE game. The Lions will retain the Lambert Trophy, symbolic of Eastern grid supremacy if they win tomorrow. If the Nittanies should lose, Dartmouth would probably lay claim to th* coveted trophy. v State will also be battling for sole possession of an ugly, three-sided hunk of steel known as “Old Ironsides,” which goes annually to the winner of the PKt-Penm State-West Virginia rivalry. A Pitt win tomorrow.would throw the three-way rivalry into a deadlock, but “Old Ironsides” would remain in Its rest* ing place in Rec Hall for another year. Lion quarterback Pete Liske, who has already cracked the Penn State record for touchdown passes in one season, has his eyes set on several other schools marks. The junior signal-caller is only 10 completions shy of Tony Rados’ record of 93 completions In one year and needs 125 passing yards to break Rados’ record - of 1,205.
