Dick Poillon, who hasn't missed
an extra point all season, Sal Ro-

Baugh are the four, and although
none seems destined to lead in any

Rosato is the loops fifth leading
ground gamer with 238 yards, faI

barring an unexpected breakdown
should be breezing at the. finish
Dudley has .437 yards to his credit
With q little more luck on his
place-kicks, Poillon would be higher

leaders. Ted Fritsch of Green Bay

Game With Penn State
of as Miami Objects
To Facing Negroes
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Nov. g.
Football Coach Bob Higgins Of Penn
State took the view today that can
collation. OF the University of Miami
game, scheduled for November 20
was the only thing we could do" in
view OF an impasse over the ques-
ton of allowing two Negro players
on Penn States team to participate.
'It was agreed by both Of us that
1t was impossible for Miami, in It's
situation, to have colored boys come
down there, and it was impossible
for us not to let them play" Hig-
gins told a reporter in response to
questioning. "a
DR.. Carl P. Schott, Penn State S
dean of physical education, stated
earlier that Miami had informed
him "it would be difficult to carry
out arrangements" for the game II
Penn State included its two Negro
players, Wallace Triplett, Sd, and
Dennie Hoggard. both Of Philadel-
phia.
Higgins said neither of the youths
had been consulted about the sit
uation, 'for it wasn't their prob
lem, 1t was ours"
1--WE just don't have the same
rules up here" the coach remarked
81 guess it's a problem that will take
a few years to break down."
Higgins commented that "all
teams from the North" will have
to take the racial attitude into con-
sideration when scheduling games
with Southern schools.
The question of using the Negro
players came up only few weeks
ago, Higgins said, explaining that
with the return of so many ex-
servicemen, it was hard to tell far
in advance just who would be on a
team. In the correspondence which
resulted in the cancellation, he en-
phasized, everything was done With
the best of feeling between both in
stitutions" -
