Disappointment Penn State travels to horse-shoe-shaped, monolithic Mountaineer Field Saturday to resume - a rivalry that means more to the Mountaineers than to the Lions. But then, in a crazy football town such as Morgantown, almost every game means more than it does here, like WVU coach Bobby Bowden's job for instance. "It's time to get rid of Bowden," is the feeling among some West Virginia fans after losses to Richmond, Tulane, Pitt and Miami. The father of a minister and a,sdevoul Christian, Bowden better start praying ror his job. If Penn State wins big Saturday, the Mountaineer may turn his musket on Bowden. you gentle feeling the folks in Morgantown aren't very fond of losing. You also get the impression they don't tolerate people who don't get the job done. First, there is the constant pressure'-- building on Bowden. Then there is the musical chair set-up aociated with the selection of co-captains fur the team. At Penn State, Jim Bradley and Jack Baiorunos are the captains, win or lose. At West Virginia, Danny Buggs and- Jeff Morrow were the co-captains until the opening loss to Richmond. As soon as the team loses, the Mountaineer co-captains hit the road and Bowden picks new ones. In addition to his Veer offense and his 5-2 defense, Bowden has installed another concept in his program which he calls his - whole man" concept. "I do not want our boys to smoke, drink, or cut classes, and I encourage church at tendance," Bowden explains. "As far as coaches are concerned, I have surrounded myself with men who have strong religious convictions.- Besides his religious convictions, Bowden Billiard tourney Continued from page 12 the 1974 Worlds Invitational scheduled four tournaments Champ and has an unfinished to be held on college run (clear the table) of 243. university grounds this year. —Steve Mizerak, 29.

' - ' at Morgantown Penn State coach Booker Brooks describes Buggs this way: "Id compare him to some of the people we've seen in the NFL to give you a better idea. Running a reverse, catching a pass, returning a punt, it doesn't matter, he can beat you." First, the bad news. Last year against Penn State Buggs caught the longest pass in WVU history when, shortly after the start of the second quarter, third string quarterback Ben Williams heaved a 96-yard scoring bomb to Buggs, who immediately switched on' his 9.5 af telthurners. •I'he other Mountaineer score that day was also set up by Buggs, who decoyed the cover age on,a kickoff and handed off to Artie Owens. Second, some more bad news. . Suggs is recovered (at least that's what everybody says) and should suit up and torment the Lions Saturday. Buggs has been getting lots of rest lately due to calcium deposits in his leg, and Bowden's desire not to play the entire season with "half a football player." Third, the last of the bad news. Just for the record, that 9.5 clocking in the 100 was set while Bugg was a freshman running intramurals in his tennis shins. CASH! Over $3 per hour for distributing pamphlets.
