Soccermen Sink Navy, 11-0;
Engage Gettysburg Today
The undefeated Nittany Lion soccermen will scrimmage at Gettysburg today at 3 p.
m. after eking out a 1-0 victory over Navy at Annapolis, Saturday.
Clarence "Buzzer" Buss tallied the game's only goal midway through the third period
as Coach Bill Jeffrey's team extended its current unbeaten streak to 18 games.
Penn State is heavily favored to make it 19 today and add Gettysburg to the long list
of victims.
Strong Navy Defense
The under-strength State team
found the Navy defense too dif
ficult to penetrate Saturday and
only a fine individual effort by
Buss avoided a tie. Joe Lane.

third period but because of an
ankle injury was soon forced to
withdraw.
Frank Folhner, a halfback,
moved into Lane's center spot f,or
the first half, but dropped back
to his original position while
Gary Nugent took over during the
second half.
The Lion defense was pressed
for the first time this year by
the speedy Middies who used a
heavily-padded defensive com
bination in an attempt to ward
off the atack of the National Co-
Champions.
The same men who started
against the Annapolis Tars are
expected to meet the Gettysburg'
Bullets this afternoon. Follmer
will get the nod at the center for

enough condition to go. He will
be flanked by Captain Harry Lit

inside right and left, respectively.
The lightning-fast BUSS will
again be at left wing with Ed
Smith cavorting at right wing
in place of Gus Bigott who is
still unavailable because of a
boil on his left foot.

be Kurt Klaus, George Emio and

sentiment, "Kill the umpire." But there is one arbiter
approached with homicidal intent
This unusual umpire is Mrs.
Rose Wicks, known by Penn
State students as the petite li
brarian at the circulation desk.
In addition to umpiring men's
semi-pro baseball and softball,
she officiates basketball games.
She has also coached for girls'
clubs. While taking graduate
work in political science at the
University of Indiana, Mrs. Wicks
coached, captained and played
football on a girls touch football
team.
Further proof that the combin
ation of femininity, athletic skill,
and knowledge are not incongru
ous, is the fact that Mrs.. Wicks
has played third base for the All
American Girls' Baseball League
in the mid-west. In amateur and
professional softball she has been
both catcher and third baseman.
When Mrs. Wicks first put in
her appearance as an umpire,
she was met with doubt and
puzzlement, but there was no
overt skepticism on the part of
the players. Everyone took the
fact with good-natured humor,
and the ball players treated the
5-feet 3-inches brunette well.
No one even cussed at her!
Even her husband was some
what skeptical when he first
heard of this female umpire, but
after meeting her he was con
vinced that interest in athletics
does not detract from a woman's
charm.
Mrs. Wicks said that having six
brothers did not contribute to her
interest and active participation
in sports. In fact, they tried to
deter her, but to no avail.
She considers spectator sports
important, too, prefering to watch
football and fancy diving because
of the thrills involved. Her favo
rite personal sport is swimming
and she has worked as a lifeguard.
Mrs. Wicks feels that women
should participate in or e in
sports because they need a bal.
Wylie, Simmons Winners
In IM Medal Golf Tourney
Consistent golf enabled Jack Wylie, of Phi Kappa Sigma, and
Ken Simmons, playing independently, to come out as victors in the
initial intramural Golf Medal Tournament held over the weekend
on the Penn State course.
Wylie carded a 147 with first and second round scores of 73
and 74, while Simmons finished with a 75, 77-152. Both golfers
were well ahead of their nearest comptlitors with Wylie six
strokes better than runner-up Bill Johnston of Alpha Chi Rho,
who shot a 78-75, 153.
Simmons, on the other hand, was eight strokes better than
Jeff Sawyer, a sophomore from Easton, who scored an 81-79 for a
160 total.
The final round scores carded by Wylie and Simmons were
practically identical. Wylie came in with 6 bogies, 11 pars, 1 over
par and a birdie. Simmons, who had difficulty with his putter in
the final round, finished with 11 pars and a birdie. Whereas Wylie
shot 6 bogies, the Lancaster independent had four bogies in addi
tion to a 6 and a 7 that he took on the fifth and thirteenth holes.
Wylie, representing his fraternity, will receive a trophy, while
Simmons, as an independent, will be awarded a sterling silver
medal.

In addition to engaging in
sports as both participant and of

As Eleven Drops 3rd,19-0
• Dark as the Penn State football picture may appear following
the 19-0 loss to Nebraska, Coach Rip Engle has some consolation in
that his gridders will not have to face the likes of Bobby Reynolds
when the Nittany Lions clash with Temple, Saturday.
Reynolds was all that assistant
coach Frank Patrick said he was
in his scouting reports—and per
haps more. The tricky sophomore
accounted for all three Cornhus
ker touchdowns on runs of 19, 26,
and 43 yards. Reynolds ripped up
183 yards in 24 attempts, and
booted an extra point. The one
man gang has accounted for 72 of
Nebraska's 90 points.
Lion Losing Streak
The loss extended the Nittany
losing streak to three, longest
since the Lions dropped four
straight in 1932, and equal to the
three-game string of 1936. The
game was the first since 1946 to
see an Engle-coached team go
scoreless.
While Engle was quick to ac
knowledge that "Reynolds was
the difference," the gray-thatched
mentor indicated that the biggest
failure of the Lions was their in
ability to take advantage of
"clutch" opportunities.
Nebraska was off to a 6-0 lead
in the first quarter, Reynolds cap ;
ping an 80-yard drive with a 19-
yard jaunt around left end for the
six-pointer at 6:30 of the period.
It was not until early in the.
