KLLINGER MAY NOT PLAY
Doubtful Whether State Star viii
Be Seen in Saturdays Game

state, College, Pa, Oct. 2J.-Pcnn
State students were ovcrjoyed today to
learn that the injury to Glen Killingcr
in the Lebanon Valley game was not
MS serious as was at first supposed.
When the plurky Blue and White quar-
tcrback was forced to leave the game.
it was feared he had received broken
cOllarbOnc, but thorough examination
today revealed no broken bones. His
shoulder is considerably bruised, how
ever. and the muscles are badly
strained.
Trainer Martin hopes to be able to
bring KiIlingcr around in time for the
game with Penn on Saturday, but ad-
mittrd that it was doubtful whether the
Harrisburg boy would be able to play.
His loss will be severe blow to Coach
Bezdok. for since being placed at quar-
terback Kilingcr has been one Of the
stars of the team. II he is unable to
play on Saturday, it is probable that
Pete RPdingcr, freshman quarter OF last
year, will call the signals.
Saturdays record breaking score has
not blinded Bezdek to the mistakes
made by the varsity and he will set
about rcmedying them in the few days
that remain before the Penn game.
