SEP!liiMpßfe 27, -1*351 „ <■ TH3S 15A1LY 6i The Lien's Lair It’s amazing to see the change that has come over Penn State’s football team in the last week. The Li,ons have de veloped from a stage of “also rans” into a team that’s going to give opponents plenty of trouble as the season progresses. In a scrimmage against Buck-1 nell earlier in the practice sea son, the Lions .were anything but impressive, displaying nothing in the way of a run; ‘ ' The scrimmage was a great ment to those Penn State fans who saw it. . .A week passed —a week of hard drills. Cornell, rated second in the Ivy League, came to Beaver mage the Nittany Lions, Against Cornell,, the Lions looked like a different ball team than the one which played Buck nell. The Soffense, which the. Bi sons’ firsts string defensive line had stopped cold, began to'click. If State’s offense didn’t match Cornell’s, it bettered it. True, the Lions' received some good breaks. But it takes a good team to capi talize on the breaks to enjoy, any benefits from them. Arid Penn State did capitalize on them. Another thing apparent dur- Pigskln Prayers ... AP Writer Picks BU To Beat Penn State PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26—(/P)—After last week’s horrible 9-7 tabulation, we’ve .been hiding in the corner.''However, the boss sought us out today with a “come out you coward, and try again.”. So here fellow believers—if they’re any left—are this weekend’s football winners: v , Boston U at Perin State—We're torn between two forces here— Penn State's usual impregni bility on its home field and the talented arm 'of ex-marine Harry Agganis. But Boston U. and Agganis have one tough game under their belt—Boston. Villanova at Army—we . may as well startoff with our blue plate special. Plenty of tears have been shed for Coach Earl (Red) Blaik y but none in this corner. Villanova should win this game, if we’re to believe that poor Army is denuded. We think a fired up Army team—not half as bad as it is painted—will sur prise em’ all and win a high scoring game by a point or tyro. Penn-California > Penn-California California beat the Red and Blue by a touchdown on the coast with the fiery red head, Francis B.agnell -in full regalia. Well,. Bagnell is gone and California apparently is just as strong, so we’ll string along with the Golden Bears. Temple at Brown Temple played some good football against a very strong Syracuse team last week although beaten 19 to 0. The alma mater to win this one —Temple. Duke at Pitt—There is an old story about the . athletic director asking the .football coach, “how come we lost that game. I thought we should have won.” Well, Pitt Athletic Director-C oa c h Tom Hamilton will be talking to him self after Saturday—Duke. Muhlenberg, at Bucknell The Mules will pay 'dearly for hand-, ing Bucknell its only defeat of the season last year.. Bucknell can name the score in this one.

Right now the team spirit is at a higher pitch Ilian it has been since practice started. Pehn State’s football team has come a long way in a week. It is certainly a better, ball team than the one which scrimmaged Buck nell. . ■ \ But Rip Engle isn't satisfied. As long as there's room for im provement, he'll never be sat isfied. ‘ Rip's the type of coach who would not stand pal with a championship team. “Even the Cleveland Browns can improve,” Rip explains. With the team progressing fast, the team spirit at a high pitch; and a coach the caliber of Rip Engle in the drivers seat, it's going to take a pretty good football team to stifle the Nittany Lion’s roar this sea son. , 1 By RALPH BERNSTEIN AP Sports/Writer Dodgers Rout Braves, 15-5; Yankees Lose Despite the recent splurge of the New York Giants and the rousing finish of the Philadelphia Ath letics, it still looks like a subway series between the Yanks and Dodgers. Brooklyn rallied to pound out a 15-5 “must” victory over the dan gerous Boston Braves yesterday, the Associated Press reported. The win increased the Brooks’ lead to a game and a half over the Giants, The New Yorkers were scheduled for a night game. In the American League Bobby Shantz hurled a six-hitter to de feat the Yankees 4-1. The loss sliced the Yanks lead to twO-and a-half games over Cleveland. It was the 17th win of the season for the little righthander. 14 Hir Attack After losing a .doubleheader to the Braves Tuesday, the Dodgers retaliated with a merciless 14 hit massacre against six Boston hurl ers. Big Don Newcombe was aided wth a four run Dodger outburst in the first inning. Following this attack, they pounded Max Sur kont out of the box with another four run barrage in the fifth. • Brooklyn now has four games left to play and can clinch the flag by .winning three, even if the Giants win their remaining three contests.- The Yanks; idle until tomor row’s doubleheader with the Red Sox, still need a combination .of two wins or two Cleveland defeats to clinch theijF- third straight pen nant. With perfect support Shantz would have had a shut out in his fourth victory over, the ' Yanks. Ferris Fain, Gus- Zernial, and Dave Philley hit homers.

PENNSYLVANIA. v Practice Paid Dividends for Lion Someone once said that practice makes perfect. If that state ment were applied to Frank Follmer, it certainly would hold true. For Follmer has been playing the game of soccer since he was eight years old, and he is still going strong. At the present time, he is one of Penn State’s mainstays at the all-important ! halfback positions. Follmer showed the riiakings of a real ball player three years ago when he was playing with the German-Hungarian Sport Club of Philadelphia. He was chosen from a squad of players from his-'team and the Philadelphia professional club to play the Hamburg, Ger many, soccer club, which was touring the United States. The German team came out on top, 5-0 Rates Germans High.-' Follmer rates the German club a slight bit better than .the Iran ian clubs, which State faced last spring. “It (the German club) had more drive than the Iranian clubs did, and the Germans were stronger physically, too,” the Philadelphian. concluded. , Follmer, a junior this year, be gan his college soccer at the Swarthmore Center, where he played along side of several of his present-day teammates, Kurt Klaus, Gary Nugent, and Jack Charlton. Follmer' played right halfback at Swarthmore, the same position he is now playing. In fact, ever since he began the game, Fqllmer has been seen at the fight halfback spot. Predicts Good Year Follmer believes that Penn State will have a great season this''year. “Temple will probably give us the most trouble this year' be cause'it has several former North east High school stars on its club,” Follmer believes. “The dark-haired speedster should know what he is talking about as Northeast had a 90-game streak going at one time, part of which Folkner was responsible for. Backbone of Club . Follmer thinks that the half backs are the backbone of a ball club. “They must have a lot of hustle and drive as well as having the knack "of, diagnosing plays. Of the three halfback positions, the center is the most important one,” he' added. ' Follmer has high regards for COach Bill Jeffrey. He believes that Jeffrey’s ability “to handle players gives him that extra quality.” SOCCER SIDELINES: Frank is a . student in mechanical engi neering ... He belongs to Druids and the Sigma Pi . . . He would like to continue the game in some manner after graduation . . . Follmer stands five-feet, nine inches tali' and weights 160.
