its climax at City Stadium A crowd approaching 17000 is expected to witness this first intersectional clash in the colorful pageant's history and the weatherman promises clearin skies after scattered early morning showers for the affair The Nittany Lions who whipped Boston University but lost to mighty Army lest week rule a 13-point favorite to hand the Cavaliers their third successive defeat Game time is 2:30 but the pregame show of marching bands the parade oi! floats and the coronation of the queen begins at 1 Rip Engle whose Penn State teams have never experienced a losing season under his com' mand put his charges through a light workout yesterday afternoon at City Stadium and ex pressed some concern about his team's favorite's but none whatsoever about Moore his No 1 glamor boy Cavaliers In Hard Lurk will have a bigger team a more experienced team than Engle said remember they've been playing with a lot of hard The subject switched to Moore who last year gained a record-setting 1082 yards for the Lions and Engle's light blue eyes lit up and his soft-spoken manner turned firm "The folks here" Engle said be seeing the greatest back In the country quick elusive and has what we call a great football sense He's tops on defense and regardless what happens from here on out he goes down in my book as the greatest I've ever If Virginia wishes to tarnish Moore's reputation it will have to put its trust in a defensive line that showed stuhborn qualities against George Washington last week It aiso will have to find a way of meshing of sputtering offense and possibly springing loose Herb Hartwell the outside threat and Jim Bakhtiar the Iranian fullback who won preseason raves as the likely sophomore of the year All this Ned McDonald hopes will happen for Virginia carries a spotless Festival record with triumphs over Washington and Lee in '50 and VMI in in its two previous appearances Against Penn State however the Cavaliers have experienced nothing but adversity bowing by 6-0 in 1893 and 34-7 last season when the Linus admittedly had a stronger team than this year's edition Forces Need Regrouping Engle's big problem is to regroup his forces after the 35-6 Army defeat always takes a lot out of Engle said year ago Yale never recovered after playing them We won't know until after the kickoff how recovered" Engle however believes that the Army score did not represent the difference in the teams he said out-gained us only hy 90 With Moore as the spearhead of the attack the Lions also have a talented passer Quarterback Bob Hoffman and a hard-driving fullback Bill Straub who apparently has recovered from a series of injuries which hindered his career The right halfback is Letterman Bill Kane a fine runner in his own right who benefits from Moore's presence in Engle's winged-T offense Quarterback Needed The selection of a lead quarterback appears to be the only uncertainty in Virginia's lineup and McDonald says he make up his mind until game time The choice will come from the foursome of Rives Bailey who started in the losing efforts with Clemson and GW Nelson Yarbrough the Manchester protege who has been particularly effective in mid-week drills and Wilson Tinsley or Whitey Clarke both of whom have been used frequently in earlier tests If games are won upfront as the connoisseurs of smashing line play claim each team will be able to say with only limited reservations that it has started its best The Virginia line headed by all-Atlantic Coast Conference John Polzer remains intact while Penn State lists only Tackle Walt Mazur as dry-docked with injuries The big man in the forward wail is co-captain Otto Kneidinger whom Penn State folks say is as talented as any tackle in the East Cross Country Hampden-Sydney SS

matching Homa's blistering 68 Thursday in this $17500 windup to the 1955 tournament season Stranahan who flashed a 67 to get an early jump on the 115-man field Thursday stayed In the thick of things
