Penn State Favored
Over Virginia Today
By Bill Fuchs
Stur Stoff Correspondent

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Oct. 9.
Virginia University's football
team steps up in class today to
take on Penn State for the first
time since 1893 on Beaver Field
here.
The Lions are strong favorites
to whip the Cavaliers and ex-
tend their unb eaten string
through three games. Virginia
also carries a two-game winning
streak into the contest.
The up-and-coming Cavaliers
are expected to benefit from this
one. Coach Ned Mcdonald used
13 backs in squeaking by Lehigh
and George Washington and still
hasn't hit on a good split-T Of
fense. Perhaps today he'll find
his combination.
One thing was reasonably Ger
tain. Bill (Whitey) Clarke, a
sophomore from Rich h m o n d,
figured to get another good test
at quarterback. The southpaw
passer. who starred at John Mar
shall High in Richmond, carried
Virginia to winning touchdowns
against the two opponents to
date. Clarke originally figured to
rank far behind Rives Bailey and
Bill Bonney. but he is making
the coaching staff sit up and take
notice.
There were two Baileys taking
the quarterback positions today.
Rives was Virginia's No. signal
caller last season. Leading Penn
State this season is Don Bailey,
who led the Lions to victories
over Illinois and Syracuse.
Today marked Virginia's first
appearance here. In the only pre-
vious football game between the
two schools. the Lions won, 60,

Hopewell last week. it could win.
I'VE figured these boys were
reaching their peak" he said.
"A matter of one touchdown or
an extra point difference was all
we could see between the two
teams. But not having Jerry
Lawter and a couple of breaks
that went against us did the
trick"
"This isn't by way of alibi-ing, "

Jefferson had a terrific club, but
losing a player like Lawter on
defense makes a big difference. I"
Star Sees Little Action.
Lawter, All-State guard last

Conceivably, Lawter up to par
would have been a big boost to
his teams morale, but the hard
hitting ground attack displayed
by Thomas Jefferson, particu-
larly by Fullback Tom .Lansinger
would have been difficult to stop
under any conditions.
Lansinger scored three touch
downs, one a gallop of "a yards

CIV pitchout that backf1red. Ir
all, he gained 1870 yards on Il

LanSinger took it over,
George Washington's first
