( ' It’s funny what being'located in a large city can do for a college.
The . University of Pittsburgh,) situated in a dity with three daily
■newspapers, always receives volumes'of sports copy regardless of
team strength. On the other hand, Penn State never seems to get
the news it merits.

Eaced the ground offense. The
iggest flaw in the Panther ar

But. Pitt coaches and critics
claimed this was due to the many
newcomers in the lineup and
should improve. '
So What? State came from

-Boston University 40-34. Our I
defense looked bad also, but
not every team will have a ter
. rific all-around back like' Harry
Agganis. This reporter predicts
. the line-play will improve,
- since - the entire defense was
upset by one man—Agganis.

half and trapped him. several
times. *
So although we won and
showed a surprisingly strong
ground'attack, despite an appar
ent weak defense we got heaps
of .critisism. Pitt loses to a good
team' but gets raves of comment,
and is favored over Indiana this
week. Villanova is picked to
down the Lions.
Time will tell the story. This
week's game with the Wildcats
should give Nittany supporters
a better outlook bn the season.
No one is. too sure yet how
good Villanova is. They whal

due to the Cadets' weakness or
the Wildcats' power? About 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon
we'll know better.
.. Some of the papers through

about a track meet or a tennis
match in reference to Saturday’s
high-scoring contest. That’s the
brand of football they love in the
Southwest, and rave about in the
rest of the country. .

Spend Billions
Each Year
NEW YORK, Oct. 2
ball madness slows the pace of
industrial and office life down to
a walk this week. But any loss of
time and product to industry as
a whole is more than returned in
dollar value in the course of a
year by- the money Americans
'shell out for sport/'
Recreation Sports
•Americans pay millions of dol
lars on spectator sports: to see
the Dodgers and the Giants play
off their tie, to watch the tired
winner face the Yanks, to crowd
into costly football stadia, bas
ketball gymnasiums, and race
tracks, with or without benefit of
bookies.
These millions of dollars are
dwarfed by; the billions that
Americans pay out for other
sports, such as bowling and soft
ball, : and those other sports that
draw few crowds or none at all
—hunting, fishing, skiing, boat:
ing and golf—but more, money is
spent on them annually than on,
tickets to the spectacles.
$5OO Million
All sports require some equip
ment—often costly—usually some
special apparel, and often trans
portation, lodging -and meals.
/Providing them is highly profit
able to many businesses and in
dustries, and service firms all
over the land. This looks like
a banner year.
This year, too, business firms
are spending. $5OO million on
sports and recreational activities
of their employers—more than
ever before. It is estimated that
nearly 75 million workers and
members of their families will
participate in such company pro
grams.

Chariton Prefers School to Pros
By TOM SAYLOR
Fortunately for State,
and soccer coach Bill Jeffrey in
particular, Jack, Charlton turned
down an offer to play baseball
for the Philadelphia Phillies and
refused a basketball scholarship
from NYU.
“The offer from the Phils would
have made, me a professional,
and, besides, I wanted to stay in
school,” the stocky Philadelphian
recalls.
At Swarthmore Center, where
Ch.arlton went before coming to
State, he played basketball, base
ball, and soccer, starring in all
three sports. He was elected'cap
tain of the baseball team.

Pip Tries for First
Win Against Indiana
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 2 —(£>)_
The University of Pittsburgh will
seek its first victory of the year
and, its second win over Indiana
University in eight games when
the Panthers and Hoosiers meet
at Bloomington, Ind., Saturday.
Coach Tom Hamilton of Pitt,
who took over the mentor’s job
tpis.year as well as the athletic
directorship when Coach Len Cas
anova resigned, will pit his stra
tegy-against a Big Ten team for
the. first time. Hamilton had two
coaching tenures at the U.S. Na
val Academy but never played
a Western, Conference opponent
cer high school, he was a regular
at the spot where Jeffrey now
has him—h alfb a c k. He also
played center half whereas Jef
frey now uses him exclusively at
left.
Charlton believes that halfback
is a good,position because “you
get in the play more. Not only
that; but it’s just as nice to assist
in the scoring as it is to tally the
actual goal.”
Charlton, a junior, thinks that
this year’s Nittany Lion soccer
team might be the best in recent
years. According to. Charlton, the
Penn State forward wall has po
tential scorers in all five men,
and the backfield is practically
impregnable. Charlton also be
lieves that Temple will give the
Lions their toughest game. .(Tem

Soccer being Charlton’s main
interest in sports, it is only 1 nat
ural that he should have a “great
est” team in mind.
For this honor, Charlton picks
the Belfast, Ireland, Celtics as
the greatest club he ever saw, but
adds that the Moscow Dynamos
were probably as good a team
as there ever was. The Dynamos
were at their peak in 1940-41.
“One of the Dynamos even
scored a goal in one game while
standing on his head,” Charlton
said.
