The
Lion's Tale
By Ed Watson s
a cc't Sports Editor. ■ .
Unnoticed
Penn State sports fans, intent
on watching Joe Bedenk’s ram
paging gridders swamp Boston
College and Ed Songin Saturday,
missed a chance to see what this
reporter predicts will be one of
the top soccer teams in the coun
try.
While the football game was
in progress, Coach Bill Jeffrey’s
booting forces were trampling
Bucknell’s Bisons under a 5-0
score. Not only did the Nittany
hooters outscore the visitors, but
the Bucknellians failed to make
a serious scoring bid all after
noon! ...
“Bagpipe Bill” has molded a
potential championship outfit
this year. His forward line of Ted’
“Utz” Lieb;- Ron Coleman, Joe
Lane, Harry Little and Clarence
Buss should stack up against any
forward line in the East, while
All-Americans Ralph Hosterman
.and Dick Hannah team up with
Willie Kraybill to form a smart
row of halfbacks.
Dependable Charlie Margolf
and Bill Yerkes, a newcomer,
challege opposing linemen from
their fullback slots, while George
Lawther, the net-guarder, has
kepi the Lion goal untouched in
the first two games.
This weekend, the Jeffreymen
journey to Syracuse, N.Y., to
battle with the Orangemen, but
they’ll be back home again on
Nov. 5. Since the footballers are
away that weekend, you can
have a chance v to see them in
action. Don’t say we didn’t warn
yowl
Here and There
Frank Taucher, fullback on the
1948 soccer squad, is playing
center halfback for Horning in
the Allegheny Valley Soccer
League near Pittsburgh ..'. Eddie
Wilson, another former soccerite,
has signed a'contract with the
Chicago White Sox. Wilson, a
pitcher, will report to the Sox’s
Glass C farm in Hot Springs,
Ark.,' in the .spring . . . The top
twirler on the ' Nittanies’ 1949
diamond nine, Gy Miller, ended
his first season in professional
baseball with,a 4-and-9 record.
However, Miller had the -lowest
earned-run average on the Mus
kegon,. Mich., staff —a Class A
farm club of the White Sox.
Tough Defense
Although Nebraska defeated
Kansas State by a narrow' 13-6
margin, the Cornhuskers of Ne
braska held the Kansans so ef
fectively that the Wildcats pene
trated their 20-yard line only one
time during the entire game.

Lion Drills Stress
Defense for Huskers
Head Coach Joe Bedenk is Changing the football practice script
this week as the Nittany Lions smooth off the rough edges in pre
paration for Nebraska at Beaver Field Saturday.
The accent in scrimmage sessions Tuesday and yesterday, and in
the lighter drills coming up during the week, is on stoping a rushing
conscious Huske'r eleven that can move and move far on the ground
Gone, at least temporarily, are
the desperate pass defense ses
sions in anticipation of an op
ponent who threatened to pin
back the Lion’s ears with long
heaves. They haven't been elim
inated, but the heaviest concen
tration is on stopping power and
speed plays through and around
the line.
ATTITUDE GOOD
Bedenk is pleased with the at
titude of the hardworking Lions,
,who having found the winning
key, are determined to keep the
string moving. The players work
ed hard, on both offense and de
fense, in the two scrimmage ses
sions, and ran through several
new plays.
Physically, as well as mentally,
the squad is in good shape.
Ch(uck Beatty, Bill Luther, and
those others slightly hurt in the
Boston ' College fray, have re
sponded to treatment and will be
toady to go against the Huskers.
Pete Gorinski has been scrim
maging this week and will be in
uniform, ready to help Fran Ro
gel at fullback. Gorinski, slated
to do State’s kicking this season,
has been Sidelined for three
weeks viith a shoulder separa
tion. He entered the BC game
last week for one punt.
A bad ankle threatens to kefip
quarterback Chuck Drazenovich
out of full-time duty , again this
week. Afterburning the ankle in
the Army game, Chiick. sat out
the BC engagement and his ab
sense marked the first time he
has missed a game in four years
of varsity • football. During the
winning campaigns. of *■ 1947 : and
1948, he was the ‘Tron Man” of
the squad, playing 60 minutes a
half dozen times and averaging
better than 50 minutes; in 19
games.
Filling .the blocking-back-spot
will be Charlie Murray who im
pressed the coach against Jboth
Army and BC. On his eagerness
to play, and his hard work, Mur
ray will probably see much duty
.through .the rest of the schedule.
Several other reserves, notably
guard Fred, Felbaum and tackle
Ed Hoover/were impressive in
last week’s win' and are slated
for more play. . .

Although Syracuse, the Lions'
soccer opponent this Saturday,
isn’t acclaimed as one of the
East’s better booting units, Coach
Bill Jeffrey still warns his boys
that upsets always occur when a
top-notcher meets a weakling.
The Nittanies are highly tout
ed in collegiate soccer circles this
year. Many believe this is one of
the best, if not the best, unit ever
to represent the Blue and White.
In their two outings the Nit
tanymen have topped West
Chester, 6-0, and Bucknell, 5-0,
and this Saturday at Orange town
they’ll seek their third straight
this season.
Jeffrey plans to take approxi
mately 17 men to Syracuse to
morrow.

love with it all over again. It is FtUSE
