Lien Soccermen
efeat W. Md.
Sweeping back dramatically after losing a lead in the final quarter, the Penn State
soccermen preserved their unbeaten streak, by edging Western Maryland Saturday, 3-1.
The Co-National Champions' Joe Lane scored at 1:40 of the first quarter to draw
first blood, but thereafter the Western Maryland team which dropped its entire squad
back into a defensive pattern was too tough to penetrate, 'at least until the final period.
JOE LANE, Lion center forward, leaps into the air between two
Western Maryland fullbacks as he attempts to head the ball into
the goal. Captain Harry Little stands by ready to assist him. Lane
scored twice as State defeated the Green Terrors. 3-1.
Mistakes, Breaks Combine
To Give Syracuse 27-7 Win
"We're going to make a lot of mistakes," football Coach Rip
Engle predicted before the start of the current gridiron campaign.
And the Nittany Lions went a long way toward proving the ac
curacy of their mentor's crystal-ball gazing in their 27-7 loss to
Syracuse Saturday night:
Trouble Ahead
With the Nittanies scheduled
to take on a strong Nebraska
team this Saturday, it looks as
if Engle's troubles have just be
gun. Scouting reports indicate
that the Cornhuskers, vastly im
proved over last year, are capable
of giving anybody a rough after
noon.
While Coach Ben Schwartz
walder's team hacked out a well
earned victory, as is indicated by
statistics, the Lions were more
than helpful in aiding the Orange
cause. Two of the four Bill
Orange six-pointers were scored
while the Lions were on the of
fensive, and one other came when
Bill Haskins outraced the Penn
State secondary for .a 49-yard
payoff scamper.
Only the first Syracuse score
was ground out the hard way as
Bernie Custis passed to Joe
Szombathy for 14 yards to climax
an 8-play, 66-yard march. That
was at 6:37 first quarter, and al
though the Lions were able to
halt another Syracuse drive on
the 1-yard line in the final
minute of the first half, there
was never any doubt after that
of the Orange supremacy.
Doc Hurt
After wingback Owen Dough
erty was knocked out for the en
tire first-half on the opening
kickoff, the game developed into
a nightmare.
The dam broke in the third
period. Haskins started the! flood,
which resulted in three touch
downs in 5 minutes and 12 sec
onds, when he went 49 yards for
his TD at 7:45 of the period.
The Lions came within a shade of
striking back on the ensuing
kickoff, Ted Shattuck lugging the
leather back 44-yards to the
Syracuse 44. There, with but two
Orange defenders between him
and the goal line, he ran into one
of his blockers and went down.
Dick Koerber's completion to
Dougherty, however, gave.the
Lions a first down on the yra
cuse 24, but Shattuck fumbled
after picking up five yards. Bob
Young went 56 yards off left

Swamis Smile As
Crystal Ball Clears
Assistant sports editor Art
Benning gave his crystal ball the
"fall changeover" this weekend,
and when the mists had cleared,
he found himself
_with a pace
setting .694 average.
The spirits were kind to Ben
ning and grid scribe Mary Kras
nansky as both picked 11 out of
12 correctly. Krasnansky con
tinued to haunt the leader with
an average of .666.
The mist didn't clear for sports
editor Ray Koehler. and left him
stranded in third place with a
.569 average.
George Glazer, who vacated his
swami seat this weekend, is trail
ing the pack with a .538.
Keeping the ball deep in their
opponents' territory and pound
ing the goal constantly, the Nit
tanies still could not 'dent the
clogged goal area. The strategy on
the part of the visiting team was
an attempt to upset the powerful
Penn State attack.
Quick Attack
For a time it appeared to be
successful. Then, at 4:40 of the
last quarter, the entire Western
Maryland forward line broke
loose from the defense and drib
bled, the length of the field with
four men handling the ball at
different times.
Outside left Davigues banged it
past goaltender Ron Coder for
the tying goal. The scoring shot
was the only chance that the vis
iting forces had all afternoon.
Thoroughly aroused, and seeing
a 16-game undefeated streak go
ing up in smoke, the Lions scored
exactly 52 seconds later. Halfback
Kurt Klaus dropped a long pass
in front of wingman Clarence
Buss, who carried the ball to
within a few yards of the goal
where he passed to center for
ward Lane. Lane touched the ball
in for an easy tally.
Ed Smith, a sophomore who
was the only substitute used by
Coach. Bill Jeffrey, was credited
with the third goal later in the
final period when he recovered a
rebound from the goalpost and
banged it into the net.

Nittany Thinclads
Pittsburgh In Initial Meet
Coach. Chick Werner's Lion harriers opened their season
with a comparatively easy 17 to 38 victory over a strong
Pitt team, Saturday afternoon.
Al Porto and Bill Ashenfelter finished in a tie for the
first position with a winning , time of 27:20.5. Bob Freebairn
edged Bernie Luterancik, sensational Panther sophomore,
in the last quarter mile to garner
the third spot with a 27:33 mark.
Luterancik finished four seconds
behind to gather the first Panther
finish.
Don Ashenfelter at 27:45 notched
the fifth place with Bill Gordon
placing sixth at 27:52. Ken Ma
henna, who paced the pack for
the first mile, was the second Pitt
man to finish, placing seventh.
Bob Parsons, Dudley Foster,
and Jack St. Clair finished eighth,
ninth, and tenth, respectively.
Bob Pastorious and Jack McMa
hon of Pitt tied for the 11th
slot, while Bob Roessler was the
last State man to place, coming
in 13th
The times indicated a good
performance over the naturally
slow Schenley park course, made
even slower by the soggy condi
tion of the turf. The Nittany bAr-
Hers showed a good balance in
capturing eight of the first ten
positions.
Porto, who captained the team,
and B. Ashenfelter, after an early
dog fight with Mahanna, easily
outdistanced the rest of the field.
The surprising feature of the dual
meet was the performance of Lut

erancik, a virtual unknown, who
doggedly clung to the leaders for
the first 2 1 / 2 miles. Freebarin's
spirited finish was just enough
to enable him to capture third
from the promising Panther.
The first five placers Porto,
B. Ashenfelter, Freebarin, D. Ash
enfelter, and Gordon automati
cally won starting positions for
this Saturday's dual meet at Cor
nell. The rest of the squad will be
determined by a time trial this
week.
