Soccermen Drub -
Western Maryland
Running true to schedule, the
Jeffrey Special steamed through
the Western Maryland soccer
elev
en here Saturday afternoon to
complete their 55th non-stop run
Since 1932. The score was 3-0.
Captain Walt Hostern - ian. started
the ball rolling in the first minute
of play when he booted the ball
into the net for the first Lion goal.
Don. Dwain took the honors
next when in the second period
by skillful -handling of the ball he
completely fooled the Western
Maryland goalie and scored to put
the bottle team two points in the
lead.
The only other goal was made
in the last period when Durain
passed to King who booted into
-the net to make the score 3-0. Al
though the Lions' were within easy
scoring distance several times they
couldn't seem to hit the net.
The Terrors played first class
ball throughout and Blair, right
fullback, showed up well for the
opponents. During the entire first
half the Western 'Maryland team
failed to seriously threaten the
Lion goal, and stellar playing
by Gazzy Green and Gringo Gal
indo prevented the Terrors from
retaining possession of the ball fOr
long.

Jayvees By 12-0 Score
The Corner J.V. gridders prov
ed a little too tough as a season
opener for Danny.DeMarino's jay
vees last Saturday as State came
out on the short end of the 12-0
After playing good ball for the
first half and holdirig the Bears
scoreless, the Nittany junior var
sity had the misfortune to fumble
On their own 30-yard line in the
third quarter, thereby giving Cor
nell a break of which they took
full advantage. The Bears drove to
the goal line for a score, with
wingback Stilwell taking it over
on a reverse.
1 0 I=3
With only two minutes to play
'in the final quarter, Foster, the
Cornell right-end, broke loose past
the State safety man and gathered
in a 30-yard pass from tailback
Sickler for the second and last
score of the game. The Bears failed
to convert the extra point after
both goals.
The Jayvees next game is sched
uled with Navy November 1, with
the team traveling to Annapolis
for the battle.
Mighty Mite
PEPPER PETRELLA
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Pefrella Paces
Victorious Lions
Apparently well satisfied with
the fighting comeback the victor
ious Lions made in the fourth
quarter after two lapses on pass
defense had put the West Vir
ginia outfit in the Ybad, Coach Bob
Higgins gave his regulars and first
string substitutes a well-earned
rest yesterday.
The game with Lehigh this Sat
urday promises to give the Blue
and White an easeup in the sched
ule and the Lion mentor plans to
possibly use his second and third
stringers as much as possible in
the Engineer tilt, if yesterdays
practice session is any indication.
Paced by 140 pounds of gridiron
dynamite in the person of Pepper
Petrella, the Lion warriors jump
ed into a 10 to 0 lead in the second
quarter, saw their advantage van
ish when two Mountaineer passes
connected for touchdown, and
with defeat staring them in the
face, tame back fighting mad in
the final period to tally the touch
down which gave them a 17 to 13
victory.
The game had Peterella's stamp
on it from start to finish. Follow
ing a successful second period
placement kick from the 18 by
Patrick for a field goal, the flashy
tailback took the ball in midfield
4nd on six successive tries through'
the left side of the visitors' line
drove down the field for a touch
down. Ben Pollock rushed in to
kick the extra point.
Again towards the close of the
third quarter when . State was
trailing 13 to 10, Petrella took
charge of affairs and in no time
tallied the decisive touchdown.
Taking the kickoff on his own 7
after 'the Mountaineers' second
touchdown, Pepper returned to
the 42 and made 13 more on a cut
back off right guard. Paced by
the mite and 15-yard run by Len
Krouse the Blue and White march
ed to the West Virginia 4. Here
Petrella took the ball from Smaltz
on a spinner and galloped around
the right ter score standing up.
Patrick converted.
West Virginia scored its two
touchdowns on long passes with
end Bob Mellace on the receiving
end both times.
Spartans Trounce
Harriers, 35-10
Although Captain Bill SMith
legged his way over the five-mile
College course in easy triumph at
27.02 minutes, the Nittany har
riers lost their season's opener to,
Michigan State, 35-20, after Alex
Bourgerie and Max Peters suf
fered leg injuries during the 'race.
Bourgeries, who beat Peters to
the tape in last week's time trials,
is confined for three or four days
in the College Infirmary from a
stretched tendon while Max Peters
is suffering from recurrence of an
old knee injury which caused him
to drop out of the Spartan race.
Running with true Spartan
stamina, the Westerners pushed
five men across the finish line
ahead of the weakened Lions, who
had to be content with Smith's
half-mile lead over his opponents.
Bill Scott, Ralph Monroe, Al Man
gan, Captain Eddie Mills, and
Jerry Page finished in order for
Michigan State in 28-minute style.
Chet Snyder and Pop • Thiel
followed in seventh and ninth
positions with Spartans Warren
Anderson and Cleon Smith
snatching eighth and tenth places.
The remaining Lion harriers
who trailed to the tape • were
Howie Wheeler, Vern . Kotz, and
Bourgerie, h o managed to
finish the race after shedding_his
shoes.
