Nine Football Foes Seek To 'Ha g p' Lions' Pelt Sept. 30 Georgetown H Nov. 4 Boston College A Oct. 7 Army A Nov. 11 West Virginia H Oct. 14 Syracuse A Nov. 18 Rutgers H Oct. 21 . Nebraska A Nov. 25 Pittsburgh A Oct. 28 Temple H" • Homecoming Rip Engle and the winged-T are new innovations at Penn State this year, but the 1950 gridiron story will be the same as ever—nine teams will meet the Nittany Lions seeking to rub the Big White in the mud of Beaver Field and five other ballyards around the country. Only two newcomers have been added to the 1950 card, with Georgetown and Rutgers replacing Michigan State and Villanova. The schedule, from the first game with Georgetown at home on September 30, to the traditional ruckus with Pittsburgh, is calculated to give Engle and his charges trouble every Saturday. Pre-season writeups, the morning line of the football world, show no letups and some definite "hard ones." Noted observers appear to have rated the teams on the Lions' schedule in the following fashion. GEORGETOWN—Bob Margarita, in his second year at the helm of the Hoyas, finds himself in the unenviable position of losing 20 lettermen from last year's squad which boasted a 5-5 record and went to the Sun Bowl. End Bob Noppinger, All-East selection last year, is the team's big gun in the T attack. Margarita has two veteran quar terbacks, Frank Mattingly, and Captain Tom Hardiman, but will de pend largely upon a sophomore line with veteran Bob Fortunato spearheading the forward wall at tackle. Gino Paglucia looks like the best of the rookies. ARMY—Undoubtedly the class of the East. Despite the team being undefeated since 1947 and owning a win streak of 21 straight, and despite the fact that All American quarterback Arnold Galiffa is gone, Coach Red Blaik and his Black Knights appear to be none the worse for wear. Bobby Blaik, son of the coach, appears quite able to take over Galiffa's position though he played in Galiffa's shadow last year and saw only limited action. Gil Stephenson, halfback, and Captain Dan Foldberg, at end, have already been selected on one All- American team—Bill Stern's Crystal Ball All-American for Sport magazine. Working with Stephenson and Blaik in the backfield will be veterans Frank Fischl and Jim Cain. SYRACUSE—FIoyd Schwartzwalder, in his sophomore year with the Orange, may have a hot team with Bernie Custis as his one man air force. Schwartzwalder, who brought his own formation, a split winged-T with an unbalanced line, to Syracuse, will have a hot hod in big Bill Wetzel, a fullback who has received rave notice. But, like many other schools, sophs will play a big part here with , 2s listed for berths on the first three squads. A better line on the Syra cuse eleven can be had after their meeting with Rutgers and Temple In the first two contests of the 1950 season. NEBRASKA—State will be the only Eastern opponent that the Cornhuskers face this year. Rated as fourth in the Big Seven, but surprising no one if they do better„ the Huskers figure to have only one man in the starting eleven without varsity experience. Bill Glass ford, who starts his second year at the Nebraska helm, is depending on rookies to make the difference between a good and a mediocre season. He has seven first stringers back and a potential backfield star in sophomore Bobby Reynolds. TEMPLE—AI Kawal will have 32 members of his '49 squad re turning, but his•two backfield guns, Paul Dubentezky and Bill Bernar do arc gone. Gavin White, who played halfback last season, has been working out at the quarterback slot: The first string backfield seems to be White at quarter, Ed Bateman at full, and Bill Bonsall and speedster Nick Caterina at the halfback posts. Ralph Hanson, how in his fourth season for the Owls, is a handy man who is slated to see Much action. Temple will also meet Syracuse and Rutgers this Fall. WEST VIRGINIA—Art "Pappy" Lewis, erstwhile Cleveland Ram star, must rely heavily on sophomores in his rebuilding program in his first year with the Mountaineers. Lewis, who will guide the team in its first year as a member of the Southern Conference, has 31 lettermen back, but has lost 16 veterans. Bill Allen, who will work under center• in Lewis' T attack, and tackle Joe Berkish, head the returnees. , RUTGERS—The Scarlet will have one outstanding man on the squad, if nothing else. Leon Root has been making everybody's pre season All-American selections and is listed as a man to watch this Fall. Coach Harvey Harman looked over his smallest squad since the war, 43, in August, and found himself thin in offensive backs. How ever, he seems to have some promising young material, more now than in recent years. PITTSBURGH—Len Casanova, who replaces Mike Milligan, comes up with the T formation. Though 19 lettermen are returning, he retains none of last year's offensive backfield. Guard Mike Bold in and tackle Nick Bolkovic are counted on to bolster the Panthers' ART D OUT AS * A BRILLIANT PROSPECT:HE 'PED INTD * II.AP.D LUCK HOUTTEMAN*IN WHEN HE WON 2 AND LOST 16!

Extension Of 14 Game Win Streak Is Goal Of Penn State Soccermen Coach Bill Jeffrey and his 1950 version of the Penn State soccer team will have thOir eyes on one main objective for the coming campaign--the extension of their current 14- game winning streak. Although Jeffrey has possibly lost ALI-American Dick Hannah, he will 'receive ,some unexpected help froin another quarter. Gus Bigot, an All-American forward man in 1938, will return to State this year and be eligible for competition. In addition to Bigot, a Venezuelan, the Edinboro Scot will have All-American. Harry Little returning for action again. Little, captain of the 1950 squad, was picked at the inside right slot in 1949 Beside Little, the list of return ing lettermen includes Joe Lane, the Nittanies' leading scorer last year with 11 goals, Ron Coder, - who gleamed at goalie, fullback Jack Yerkes, and forwards Clar ence Buss and Ron Coleman. Hannah might possibly return for another season, but Jeffrey said that having played a few minutes in games during his sophomore year, he could pos sibly be disqualified from fur- 1 ther competition. In addition to Hannah, Jeff has lost fullback Chuck Margolf, halfbacks Ralph Hosterman, and Will Kraybill, goalie George Lawther and outside left Ted Lieb. Hannah and Hosterman were both All-American choices in 1948, and Hannah received honorable mention last season. Jeffrey, who took his team to the first collegiate soccer bowl game last year, and later piloted an all-star team in the World's Cup. series in Brazil, must rely heavily on sophomores to fill in at the three halfback slots and as reserves. For those spots he has his eye on newcomers Curt Klaus.. Nu gent, Yucsavage and Charlie Shilling. Jeff anticipated a "fair team," with most of his trouble coming from Temple, Maryland, Navy, and North Carolina. The laugh ing Scot expects to pull no sur prizes, to which lacrosSe Coach Nick Thiel, who was sitting in on the conversation, enjoined, "The only surprise will come when he loses another game." Jeff smiled unperturbedly, and it was hard to tell whether or not he thought that would be a surprise too. Last year's hooters tallied 33 points in winning eight straight and pulled off a last minute 2-2 tie in the soccer bowl game with Can Francisco? . in St. Louis on New Year's Day. The last defeat was suffered at the hands of Navy State Soccernnen Honored In Guide No it's not a Penn State pub lication, but from the way State is featured one would think so. All this referring, of course, to the 1950 edition of the NCAA Soccer guide, a book showing plays, rules, and pictures of top teams. The coverboy is Ron Cole man, star of last year's unde feated team. Inside, a big pic ture of Coach Bill Jeffrey, and an article explaining the soccer award given to the Lion mentor are found, as well as a story on the State-San Francisco 2-2 thriller in the first annual soc cer bowl last year. Also included in the guide are the pictures of the Lions', Joe Lane and Harry Little, and a listiitg of last year's all- American team, of which Little was a member. welcome students to Penn ' State A Completely Modern Store To Better Fill Your Needs and Budget YOUNG MEN'S SHOP S.
