PENN
RAPS
The muck and mire of Beaver Stadium was more suited for Penn
State’s grinding ground attack, and the Nittany Lions were able to
stun Maryland, 28-9, for an impressive victory. The Terrapins’
multiple attack gave Penn State multiple troubles, but when Maryland
moved close to the goal line, it was State’s mud-loving front line that
stopped the Terps. Maryland’s three-game win streak was stopped,
and the Terrapins are now 4-4. State is 4-3 with two games to go.
Don Jonas, an Army veteran, who learned the lesson of striking
swiftly when the foe least expected it, struck the key blow in the
game.
State led 7-3 in the second quarter when Collins sent a high punt
to Lion territory. Jonas let the ball hit the turf and then turned away
as though to let the ball roll dead. He suddenly turned back, grabbed
the ball and set sail over the watery field. He dashed through a clump
of bug-eyed tacklers at the forty and was in the clear to go sixty-five
yards for a touchdown. This feat, plus a brilliant all-around
performance, earned Jonas the best in the game award.
State got a quick touchdown in the third quarter to ice the game.
Center Jay Huffman intercepted a Betty pass on the twenty-nine and
returned it to the twenty-seven. Five plays later, Kerr took the ball
on the one and dove over a pile of players for the touchdown.
Later in the third quarter, Dick Pae recovered a fumble by Tom
Brown on the Maryland twenty-three and State scored again. On the
first play, Hoak started to roll out to his right, and after spinning
from would-be tacklers, cut down the middle of the field to the six.
On the next play, Torris slammed over on a belly play over left tackle
to end the scoring.
Autumn Leaves Dance
By JOANNE ROSSI
On Friday, October 28, 1960, the
Student Council held its annual
fall dance in the Union Building.
The theme “Autumn Leaves” was
carried out in an attractive
traditional scattering of corn
shocks, pumpkins and orange and
brown crepe paper.
The two west corners of the
dancing area were blocked off by
rustic white birch fences, while
the orchestra took their place in
the center of the floor.
Music by the “Unknowns” was
thoroughly enjoyed by both stu
dents and a surprising number of
dates from off campus.

lection for the Christmas program
which will be presented by the
Highacres Chorus in December,

HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN
OCTOBER 24, 1960
In the first game, the Muchachos paced by Bafile, Zelnick, and
Miller spurted to an early 21-1 lead over the Untouchables and coasted
the rest of the way. The trio with 15, 14, 14 respectively kept up a,
torrid shooting pace. High for the Untouchables were Falcone and
Bobeck with 7 each. The overall rebounding strength of the Muchachos
proved to be the deciding factor. Jerry Laytar of the Muchachos
played an outstanding game both offensively and defensively and lost
credit for some of his performance through a mix-up in the scoring.
Box scores are listed as follows: Name, F.G.—F.—Total.
MUCHACHOS: Sczcecina 2—2—6; Fertally 5—0—10; Bafile
7—1—15; Miller 7—0—14; Zelnick 70—14; Wanyo 3 —l—7; Laytar
4—l—9; Totals 35—5—75.
UNTOUCHABLES: Falcone 3—l—7; Griesing 2—l—s; Wargo
0—0—0; Bobeck 3—l—7; Yoder 0—0—0; Wisniewski 0—0—0;
Totals 8—3—19.
Referee —J. Yaekel.
In the second game of the evening, the Variables trounced the
Alkis, 82-20. Paced by Marsicano, Defina, and Sheidy who tallied 16,
15, and 14 points respectively, the Variables never had any difficulty.
Top scorer for the Alkis was Milewski with 13. points.
Box scores:
VARIABLES: Marsicano 7—2—16; Fuehrer 6—1—13; Diefender
fer 4—l—9; Defina 7—1—15; Scheidy 7—0—14; Koval 0—0—0;

Hazleton Campus Alumni
Association News
The Alumni Association is
pleased with its continuous prog
ress since its beginning three
years ago. Former students have
found this organization useful to
help keep in touch with develop
ments of our campus. They write
from all over the world where
they are working or studying.
For example Joseph Coury (’59)
wrote from Hafn, Hornafjordur,
Iceland to acknowledge his receiv
ing the Highacres Collegian and
the Alumni Newsletters. Other
former students write in to ask
about the current address of a
former classmate. The Alumni
secretary keeps an up-to-date list
as much as is possible.
In line with one of the associa
tions objectives to recommend the
organization of night classes at
Highacres according to the needs
of the area graduates, this fall,
Chemistry I given by Professor
Richard Mattern was organized.
Eleven students are in this class.
From this nucleus, it is hoped that
a full-scale program will be
established so that area graduates
will be able to work toward the
four-year engineering degree.
Next semester’s plans include the
offering of Chemistry 5 (3
credits), along with Math 41
Analytic Geometry (4 credits).
Classes would meet on Mondays
and Thursdays each week. Inter
ested persons may call Alumni
members Charles Shultz
GL 5-1892 or George Hayden
GL 5-6109.
Did you know that former
students Elizabeth Harlor, Ray
Saul, Donald Barnes, William Mc-
Laughlin and Margaret Minnig
are on the staff of the Hazleton
downtown newspapers ?
Congratulations to A 1 Sarkus
for his promotion as Director of
Art in the Hazleton City Schools.
Best wishes to Bill Mace in his
new engineering position.
Many thanks to Attorney
Henry Giuliani for his good work
