The Litkenhous difference- Penn Eleven 'Pin-Up Boys' In Princeton Club House By FRANK O'GARA Inquirer Sports Reporter PRINCETON, N. Oct. 5. The University of Pennsylvania football players will be pleased to learn today that they are "pin-up" boys on the Princeton University campus. Their photos occupy a large bulletin board in the Osborn Glub House, where they command the attention of all the Tiger gridmen at meals as they contemplate Saturday's game oh Franklin Meld.

The Owl defense, which was severely tested last Saturday when Jimmy Walthall did the pitching for West Virginia, now has to be wary of Frank Burns, who likewise fills the quarterback spot in Rutgers' formation. For the past two seasons the Rutgers aerial artist has been listed with the best in the nation, ranking with Charlie Conerly, of Mississippi, Doak Walker, Johnny Lujack, Bobby Layne and others. ANNOYED COLGATE Burns was not the big star in Rutgers' 34-19 romp over Colgate last Saturday, but he was the disconcerting influence that made the ground attack function in high gear and bring about the easy triumph. That, at least, is the report that was furnished by Temple scouts. But Harman has Burns ready at 24.

"That's not being the right halfback slot. Bob Poli-dor, regular right halfback, sat out the Duquesne game because Olivar wanted him to get some extra rest. Meanwhile, Phil Snyder and Jack Moran also carried some of the burden. The Hurricanes shape up as one of the toughest tests for the Villanova team this season. In two previous meetings Miami won the first contest and the teams played to a 7-7 tie.

Olivar will hold a short workout today before the squad leaves for Miami. The Villanova party will board the Silver Meteor at 4:34 P. JL. and is scheduled to reach Miami at 4 P. M.

Two years ago when all times to unleash his accurate passes and with Bucky Hatchett, sterling Negro end, now back in top shape and once more Burns' favorite receiver, the Rutgers attack this week may be centered around the air lanes. WELL-BALANCED ATTACK The Scarlet, according to the Owl scouts, has a balanced attack. The return of Irwin Winkelried to regular duty, pairing with the game-tested Herman Hering at halfback, has enhanced the running game of Har-man's aggregation. Too, a new star was uncovered in the Colgate game when Henry Pryor showed he knew a thing or two about off tackle slices and rams through the middle.

Ray Morrison, Temple coach, has been scrambling player personnel this week, and there may be a few changes in the array that takes over at the kickoff at New Brunswick. Temple's coach has been devoting considerable time to eliminating the bugs that cropped up in the Owl attack in the West Virginia we did take them over, many of their fans went into mourning.

Last week's 34,559 turnout for Miami's 25-0 triumph over Rollins College broke the existing regular season record crowd for the Hurricanes and the fans were so pleased with the showing of Coach Andy Gustaf-son's first Miami eleven that a larger crowd is certain this week.
