BOOTERS END FIFTH UNDEFEATED SEASO
Western Maryland Routed
9-0, As State Extends Win
Streak To 36" to4B Games
By ROY NICHOLS
Capping their fifth consecutive undefeated 'season with a
grand finale, the Penn 'State boaters frOze a sluggish Western
Maryland team in its tracks with a 9-o,shellacking on NON , Beaver
field Saturday.
. _
State rolled up four tallies in the first quart& as Sol Miehoff
scored twice and Nanny Megrail and Jack Mallory each converted
once. 'The second stanza was almost'
as lopsided. Megrail sank two snore
.and a freak goal was accredited, to
'Mallory,
Scores on Freak Shot
From his outside left position, Jack
sent a high kick across in front of the
net. The Terror goalie attempted to
knock the ball away from the net. It
struck the heel of Barkdoll, Western
Maryland left' halfback, and bounced
back into—the cords far State's sev
enth tally.
Coach Bill Jeffrey sent his entire
corps of reserves into the game at the
beginning of the second half. But
even this combination was too strong
far the Terrors, and Megrail, still at
center, dribbled through-the We'stern
Maryland fullbacks to chalk up the
eighth marker for the Lions.
Wacker Tallies
Carl Wacker, changed from his
outside right post to tenter forward
in the last period, accounted for the
final goal. Carl took the ball on a
long diibble, set up his shot, and con
verted with a: short, hard boot.:
T4e, Lionsbegan the game with
amazing frugality. During _the first
quarter and the early part of the-sec
end, few of their repeatedly accurate
shots went amiss, Mielioff's first tal
ly came on'it penalty kick. Megrail's
starter was a 20-yard boot, with pow
er aplenty, into the'top of the net.
Competition, Lacking
The much-lociked-for competition of
the fighting Western Maryland team
that held .State.to a 3-3 tie last year
was lacking.. Lion halfbacks thwarted
Terror drives before they:started; and
only twice was Dick Haag Called upon
to make actual stops at goal: .
With so little opposition, , ,the com•
plete Lion team- look6d well. Perhaps
outstanding were Bob Schuler, Eddie
Mandel,! Fred Spyker, and the. entire
forward line—Jack Mallory, Sol Mie
hoff, Frariny Megrail, Av Taylor, and
Carl Wacker. =:,:,

State Gains Two Victories At
Pitt; But Fumbles Headliner
Three battles between the Pitt
Panthers and Nittany Lions were
fought in the Pitt stadium Saturday,
with the Lions carrying off two wins
while dropping the third.. ' But only
the loss 'made-headline news. '
State's football team fell victim to
Pitt's bench Power; but the Blue Band
and the cheerleaders
,outplayed and
outclassed the Panthers in their re

Lions its two victories.

One sports writer said the State
cheerleaders put on the best exhibi:

years. Another, commenting-on the
Blue Band, admitted that its "fiat

outmaneuvered the Panther's "Big

And we heartily ; agreed.
The Old Grad launched into Person:
alities, and in doing so hit upon many
of the boys who are leaVing this year.
He liked Economos at guard. He was
amazed at the 'OO-minute performan
ces of Enders and Del%farina, "Against
Pitt, I didn't think it was possible,"
he said. - But when we pointed out
that DeMarino did it with a sore back
and that Enders- had done it before,
he Was flabbergasted. As were we.
He thought that Sammy Donato
was the mightiest packet of intestinal
fortitude that he had seen. Carl Wau
gaman, Joe Adessa, Frank Sills, and
Tim Wible didn't play as much as
some of the others, but we pointed
out what an asset they'd been. And

And'then we launched a discussion I
about a gentleman named Alex Bi

year, and whose name kept the an
nouncer busy all afternoon. He
thought that Mr. Barantovich provid
ed a terribly big job for the announ

name to something like "Baran" if
he was going to make so many tack

had a fellow named Barron who was
through this fall, and pointed out how
he had stayed, day after day, year,

spoke. of Tpm 'Campion.
And-we talked of Harry Harrison,
the long - :strided one Who calls his
shots, and were of the opinion that
we liked him-immensely. ,
But as all 'discussions must lead
this year, this one turned as 'a
fitting
climax to a little, spindly-legged in
dividual who played three years of
ball without getting hurt in spite of
his 135 pounds, except when he jerked
off a headgear.
We were talking, of course, about
Windy Wear, the Rabbit. The Old
Grad had seen him play many timed
before, as had we. t
caps, Major Thompson's musicians
marched Onto the field between the
halves and shaped themselves into a
large, fire cracker. "Dusty" Rhoades,
.head cheerleader,' dashed up to the
"fuse" with lighted sparklers, "lit" it,
and scampered away.
Gradually , the fire receded into the
cracker and as it touched the first line
of red caps, it exploded amidst 'a
vo
cal "boom" that scattered the. mem
bers apart. When the smoke cleared,
the Blue Band was seen in "P

formation. • •
The score at the end of the band
maneuvers was State, 1; Pitt, 0. -

springs and Nott - Dame shifts, "Dus

and emerged with a decisive victory.
The frozen cinder track caused the
State team to fumble tlye times at
tempting the handspring attack, but
they made long gains on three other
tries: Their strong punch, which
functioneilmerfectly on every, \ try, was
the snappy Notre Dame shift. The
"four horsemen," Captain Rhoades,

2-1, for their second defeat in nine
starts, a scrappy Mont Alto team kept
a seven-game victory slate clean by
scoring a tie-breaking goal in the
final stanza of the game played on the
golf course field Saturday.
The Fo•estes, coached by George
Harvey, former State trackman.
drove deep into the Cub territory as
the final period opened and Ernest
Stacy, center• forward, took a pass
from Gift, outside left, to convert
from ten yards out.
Penalty Kick Good •
A penalty kick scored by Captain
Van Hartman put the yearlings in the
lead late in the 'first quarter, but
'Mont Alto 'knotted the count in the
next period with Ernst's first tally.
Prior to Hartman's counter, the
Foresters had been unscored upon.
Although the Cub linemen made
