THE COLLEGIAN
60 Civilians, Trainees
Trying Out For Soccer
Approximately 60 civilians and navy-marine trainees are trying
out for the varsity scccer team, Coach Bill Jeffrey announced today.
The only returning regular on the squad is Jim Atherton, senior
student who has been on the team since his freshman year. Others
with game experience are Bud Long, Lou Gross, Joel Crouch, and
Charley Appleman.
Tre remainder of the squad is composed of men who have had
little or no soccer experience
at Penn State.
The first contest on the seven
game schedule is with Bucknell
at home on October 7. The rest
of the schedule follows:
Oct. 14, Colgate; home; Oct. 21,
Navy, home; Oct. 28, Muhlenberg,
home; Nov. 4, Army, home; Nov.
11, Cornell, away; and Nov. 18,
Temple, away.
Coach Jeffrey said that Bud
Long and Earl Graibner are com
peting for the goalie position.
The veteran mentor believes it
is too early to select players for
individual positions.
Lou Gross and Charlie Appel
baum, who go.t into three games
last fall, are the top men for
the right fullback slot. Russ
Rushton and Ted DeVeas head
the candidates for left fullback.
Jess Hartman and 'Clair Jewell
are trying to fill Jim Atherton’s
center halfback position. The lat
ter has been shifted to inside left
forward.
Two men are also fighting it
out for right half. They are Bob
Parker and Harry Powers. Most
promising. left halfs are Stet
Stetler and Joe Krawiec, who
performed as goalie in one en
counter last fall.
For outside right forward, Dick
Ridings, Charlie Hood, and Dick
Nicholas, stand out. Hood and
Nicholas were on the squad in
1943.
A Venezuelan and an Austrian
refugee are trying to out do each
other for the inside right posi
tion. Herb Mendt, a junior from
outh America, and Felix Roth,
an Austrian refugee who came to
Penh State from Boston, are the
candidates.
The center forward territory is
giving. Coach Jeffrey his most
trouble. At the present time he is
unable to find anyone capable of
covering the position.
Competing with Jim Atherton
for left forward is Bill Klopp.
Both of the boys are good and
the position isn’t settled yet,
points out Coach Jeffrey. Out
side left forward is. manned by
Fritz Holmquist.
Practice is held throughout the

All-Stars Tie;
Play Tonight
After a late rally by the East
had tied the Western team, 3-3,
the Independent All-Star Soft
ball contest was called by dark
ness. The managers decided that
a replay would be held at the
golf course at 6:30 o’clock to
day. '•
. The West jumped to a one run
lead in the first inning. After
Jim - Atherton singled, Roland
Grimsley hit a long drive to cen
terfield which brought in Ather
ton with the first score of the
contest.
Two more runs were added in
the second frame. Artie Bohard
and Paul Wunz came in on Mac-
Nillin’s smash to right field. Frond
then on O’Toole held the West in
check. For the last six innings
the all-stars went hitless.
The East got two markers in
the eighth. Vic Danilov . walked,
Weidelwitz pounded out a hit,
and John Bernardi drove in Dan
ilov. Weidelwitz then came across
on Eugene Davis’ second hit of
the game.
'ln a wild ninth inning rally,
the East deadlocked the contest.
Bill Reynolds recorded the tying
run. Danilov advanced Reynolds
to second with a single, and he
scored when the shortstop fum
bled Weidelwitz’s grounder.
