CHOICE TO TURN
BACK MARYLAND

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Oct. /
An injury-riddled University of
Maryland football team battles
Penn State College here today in
an intersectional fray that bids
fair to attract banner turnout.
The game, the third between the
two teams, is expected to be a car
bon-copy of the duel waged here
last year which resulted in State
winning in the late minutes,
Ala.
STATE 2-1 CHOICE
Although hampered by injuries,
Maryland is expected to put up a
game fight through, banking on
the swivel-hips of Jim Meade, one
of the finest ball carriers faced by
the Lions last season. However,
Penn State remains 2 to ! choice
to turn back its Southern Confer
ence opponent.
Maryland will take to the fray
lacking the services of Charlie
Weidenger its stellar forward pass
ing ace and field general; Francis
Beamer. regular left end; and Rip
Hewitt, all around utility back
field star. All three gridders failed
to make the trip here.
ALL-VETERAN TEAM
Coach Bob Higgins of State has
announced an all-veteran team to
face Maryland. Johnny Patrick,
a sophomore. looms as the lone
first year starter in the lineup, re-
placing Tony Giannantonio, who
has been moved to a reserve wing
back position.
Coach Frank DobSon announced
that Pershing Mendorff would
hold down the quarterback posi-
ton in place of Weidenger, while
Frank Dwyer will play left end.
Bob Smith will start at center in
place of Forester.

than her score suggests, since the
predominant item of their code was
good sportsmanship, whereas M. &
M. permitted the liberal use Of their
free throw line, not single foul was
called on Philo until the third quar-
ter The Electrics did not choose
blindly when they selected a bar OF
lightning for their monogram, but
they discovered five live wires as
dynamic as themselves on our team.
The old saying that lightning sell
dom strikes twice in the same place
held true here also, since Philo was
unable to connect with more than
an occasional basket. The Law of
Averages was also on a vacation.
The invaders did not miss their
shots SO much on account of lack of
ability, but rather as a result of M.
& MS uncanny skill at defense
work. The score at the end Of the
first quarter was 8-8 No matter how
much power the Electrics turned
on the victors were able to equal
and even surpass it. Every way a
Philo man turned, he was confront
ed by charging avalanche of red,
making impossible any effective
shooting; their nerves were prob
ably ruined before the half. M. &

still coming up, and with Philo's
formerly dangerous attack assuming
a more docile appearance. The Sec
ond half was a fiasco, with the Elec-
tries power short circuited to harm
less channels, and M. & M. scoring
almost at will. At the end of the
third quarter the Big Reds were
still out in front, 25-18, with no
signs Of slowing up. From then on,
Philo's baffled basketeers were easy
prey to the relentless Big Reds. Our
cagers played the whole game with
Only one substitution; Philo inject
ed veritable battery of talent in a
vain effort to stem the rising tide
Of our victory. High scoring Fitz

The Reserves are made from the
same fighting material of which our
first team is composed. The name
Philo held no meaning to them ex-

During the first period the teams
were 80 evenly matched that they
cancelled each others attempts to
score, bartering back and forth for
the lead with New Lexington driving
hard bargain. At the end Of the
first quarter M. & M. led 81. The
second stanza was repetition OF
the first, the Panthers still hot on
the trail of their elusive opponents,
the Big Reds warily evading their
stealthy followers, at no time was
there more than four point differ
ence between the two cOntending
teams, as result of which the OUT
come Of the event was always
doubtful. At the half, NJ. & M. still
maintained 1916 margin. With
both teams loaded for big game and
determined to win at any cost, the
third period of the game differed
from the two preceding ones only in
the fact that we had "piled up" q
two point lead, 24-22, in place OF
the one point advantage SO conspic-
uous in the first and second quar-
ters. The Panther,s however, how
ever, keeping up an incessant and
yengeful attack, succeeded in cut
ting down McConnelsville's lead in
the last quarter, and even went so
far as to establish q five point lead
of their own, but McConnelsville
took it from them in short period.
