Patrick Reports Nebraska
' - -/
Dangerous Grid Opponent
After watching the Nittany Lions’ next opponent, the
University of Nebraska, in two games, Penn State assistant
Coach Frank Patrick thinks that the Cornhuskers are
“potentially, a more dangerous club than Villanova.”
Patrick watched the Nebraska gridders in action against
Texas Christian and Kansas State. The Cornhuskers lost to
TCU, 28-7, and tied Kansas S'
Nebraska was .without the ser
vices of the country’s No. 1 scorer,
Bobby Reynolds. .
Reynolds suffered a separation
of the shoulder before the season
started. But .from all reports, Mr.
Touchdown XJ.S.A; will be back
in action against Penn State Sat
urday afternoon.
All-American
Last season the Cornhuskers
defeated the Nittany Lions, 19-0,
and Reynolds scored all the
points. After the season closed he
had accumulated 157 points to
take top honors in the. country.
He made many All-American
teams and, is picked as a repeater
this year.
Only a junior, Reynolds is classi
fied as one of the greatest runners
ever to put on a Nebraska uni
form;.
“Nebraska is potentially a bet
ter team with Reynolds,” reports
Patrick who also scouted Ne
braska last year. It has been re
sorting to its-passing attack more
this season with Reynolds out of
the lineup.”
Employ T
The Cornhuskers, coached by
Bill Glassford, employ the
straight T and the T with a
flanker. Patrick reports that they
are “very fast.”
Nick Adducci returns at full
back in the Nebraska backfield.
Adducci was a big factor in the
Cornhuskers’ win over the Lions
last year.
Also in the Nebraska backfield
is Tom Carodine, who has been
compared with Reynolds as a
runner. Carodine was once the
president of Boys’ Town.
Line Improving
Patrick reports that the Ne
braska offensive line is “green”
hut improving from week to
week. “The blocking is also get
ting sharper,” said 'the Lion
coach.
“They are somewhat weak on
pass defense but their defensive
line'has improved since last year.
Three times last Saturday, they
stopped Kansas State on the one
yard line. And it was first and
ten on the one, too. They stopped
Kansas State several more times
within the 15 yard line,” con
tinued Patrick.
In pre-season roundups, Ne
braska was picked by. many of
the experts to dethrone Okla
homa in the Big Seven Confer
ence. That was before Reynolds
got hurt. With Reynolds back in
the lineup this weekend, .dhe
Cornhuskers are going to be given
a tremendous shot in arm.
Rice Named
'Back of Week'
NEW YORK, Oct. 9 (JP) A
sophomore halfback who lost no
time learning the way to ..the
goal line in college football is the
first Associated Press back of the
week for 1951. •
He’s George .(Dusty) Rice of
lowa, who performed in spectac
ular fashion as his team bowed
to Purdue, 34-30, last Saturday.
Jack Overmeyer.of the Indian
apolis Star said Rice started a
one-man show on the first play of
the game, racing 100 yards to a
touchdown with the Purdue
kickoff, and kept up the fire
works throughout. Later, the
soph star scored after catqhing
a pass on a play covering 55
yards and made a third touch
down on a twisting 69-yard run
from scrimmage.
Rice, a blond former state high
school tennis champion, surprised
the boilermakers with his speed
on the kickoff return. After
catching the ball on his goal, he
took one backward step and then
flashed down the righthand side
line to score, slowing down only
to spin away from two Purdue
tacklers at midfield.,

Gil McDougald
Embarrassed
After 'Slam'
NEW YORK. Oct. 9—(A s )—The
slender, freckle - nosed rookie
from San Francisco with the awk
ward batting stance sat in the
glare of exploding flash bulbs,
embarrassed by all the attention
paid to his “grand slam” home
run today in the fifth world
series game.
“I could tell I got some good
wood on it,” 22-year-old Gil
McDougald said quietly, “but I
didn’t know it was a home run
until I passed second base and
saw that Irvin wasn’t going back
for it.”
\ Third 'Slam'
He didn’t know until almost
two hours later that his four-run
blow, which highlighted the New
York Yankees’ 13-1 victory over
the Giants, was only the third
“Grand Slam” homer hit in world
series play.
“They told me so when I got
back to the dressing room, but,
shucks, I didn’t care" so ' much
about that,” commented the mod
est young father of four, children.
“I was just glad to give old Lopat
that many more runs to work on.”
High Pitch
The only other two men to hit
“grand slam” homers in the series
were Elmer Smith of Cleveland in
1920 against the Brooklyn Dod T
gers and Tony Lazzeri, the late
Yankee star, who did it in 1936
against these same Giants at the
Polo Grounds.
It's Smith or Nothing
Last Frosh
By JAKE HIGHTON i
In order to be a standout fresh
man cross country runner at Penn
State it seems that it is necessary
to have the name of Smithl
The last time a frosh was as
outstanding as Lam on t Smith
was in leading the Lions Satur
day in a 19-36 defeat of Pitt, the
freshman’s name was Billy Smith
and the year was 1937. (Although
the ’37 Smith, according to Coach
Chick Werner, could easily have
made the varsity, at the time he
was ineligible to compete under
the 'freshman rule. Smith of ’37
.won the frosh IC-4A title.)
The 14-year interval between
Nittany freshman Smiths is just
about indicative of how seldom
it is that a frosh runner is so sen
sational.
Sensational Smith
Sensational is the correct word
in reference to the 1951 frosh edi
tion of Smith. “Bull,” as he is
called because of his powerful
frame and running strength, per
formed a feat Saturday which
stretches the imagination. It was
not only his first collegiate x
country race but actually the first
x-country race he ever ran, since
his Lehighton High School didn’t
even have a harrier team.
Smith’s feat is truly remark-
Wildcats
Capture 6-0
IM Victory
The Wildcats, taking advantage
of a poor punt early in the sec
ond half, scored a quick touch
down that gave them a 6-0 vie-,
tory over Dorm 42 in the opener
of last night’s 5-game IM grid
schedule.
A punt by Diek Stover of Dorm
42 carried only 18 yards, going
out of bounds on the Dorm’s 33
yard line. A 15-yard pass from
Jim Lafler to Ralph Wagner put
the Wildcats on the 15. On the
next play, the same combination,
Lafler to Wagner, teamed up on
a scoring pass with Wagner jump
ing high to receive the pass in
the end zone.
David Bennett led, the Lords to
an easy 12'-0 victory over' Sim
mons Hall with some sparkling
running, passing, and quarter
backing. -
In the first half, Simmons Hall
stopped the Lords’ drive on the
6-yard line and were later forced
to punt out of danger. The punt
was returned to the Simmons
Hall. 34 and again the Lords be
gan to move with Bennett in full
gear with his passing. Bennett
fired a long pass-to Ted Mac-
Donald who made a diving catch
on the 2 yard line. Immediately
after, Bennett found MacDonald
in the end zone and threw a soft
pass -to him for the touchdown.
In the second half, Bennett got
his team rolling- again when he
took a punt on his own 40 and
returned it all the way to the
Simmons Hall- 31. From there a
pass from Bennett to Joseph Ol
lney to Robert Dunn to A 1 Wil-

Star Was Smith Also
able too when one. considers the
difficulty of running a gruelling
five-mile race for the first time.
Ah for the team victroy, it was
surprising.in the manner in- which
•it was won without two of the
expected Lion pacesetters in the
top spots.
Sarantopoulos Injured
Pete Sarantopoulos was cut
down by his old injury jinx. He
had been running near the lead
ers after two miles when he had
to quit because of a pulled liga
ment beneath his knee. It was
a heartbreaker for Pete who had
gotten himself in peak condition
for the first time since leaving
the Army. in 1947. >
As for Bill Ashenfelter, he ran
the five miles. in probably the
slowest time of, his life, 28:03.
What’s more, it was his first de
feat in dual competition in two
years. The reason is simply that
Bill wasn’t ready. Not sure of
returning to school, he took no
workouts during the summer so
he had only three weeks of •con
ditioning. ' 1
It had been suspected, and Sat
urday proved, that this team
hasn’t the strength or depth of
the national champs 1a st fall.

Gianfs Quiet
After Taking
Third Defeat
NEW YORK, Oct. .9—(#>)—This
was the Giants’ dressing room,
but it seemed more like, a grave
yard. It was that quiet.
Each player sat by himself, as
if trying to figure out what had
happened..
Leo Durocher, the Giants’ dam
per manager, was alone in his
office as a string of newspaper
men. slowly, solemnly filed in.
Before anybody could' ask a
question, Leo, _ sipping a coke,
head down, said:
“What the hell. We got the
heck beat out of us. That’s all
there is to it/’
Koslo 'io Pitch
He was tearing a telegram in
small pieces, throwing half on the
floor, then tearing the rest. ■
“It’ll be Koslo tomorrow,” he
said. “Hank, Thompson will be
back in right field.”
Still none of' the reporters
spoke. What, could be said?
The Yankees had bombed five
of Leo’s pitchers, including ace
right-hander Larry Jansen, for 12
hits.
i Leo saw his team crumble .be
fore his eyes in taking the worst
world series whipping in 15 years
—an almost unbelievable 13-1
lacing. • ,
Jansen Calm
Meanwhile, the Giants still sat
on their locker stools.' Jansen,
dressed by now, and
calm and cool, answered ques
tions slowly. He even asked some.
“What could I do when Mc-
Dougald was up?” he asked no
body in particular.
Smith’s winning time in a race
at the same' time last year would
have placed him eighth on the
Lions’ team.
Improvement Needed
The meet also showed that as
far as the coming tough schedule
is concerned, Werner’s charges
will have to improve greatly- to
beat Michigan State, Army and
Manhattan.
A lot of ifs will decide the har
riers’ future. If, Bill Ash regains
his championship' form.. If, Sar
antopoulos at the fragile running
age of 31' can rebound. If, Cap
tain Dud Foster can continue his
late season improvement trend oi
a year ago. And if first-time
racers like Smith, Red Hollen
and Jack Homer cdhtinue to do
as well.

the praise of Prank Follmer,
Coleman, inside right.
r Follmer played excellent de
fensive ball hs he, practically/sin
gle-handed, put /the skids on
’whatever attack the Bucknell
team could muster. He also
chipped in .with some brilliant
upfield 'passing.
Coleman Standout
Coleman was a standout of
fensively. His resourceful ball
handling and j passing was a real
treat to the soccer fans. Time and
time again, the State captain
would perform some slight-of
foot magic in' passing off to a
teammate, or in controlling the
ball. '
Another standout offensively
for the Lions was center forward
Ellis- Kocher, -who, along with
Coleman, tallied all of State’s
goals. Kocher tallied twice, one
coming on a spectacular heaa Shot
Whereby he leaped for a high
pass and batted the ball goalward
with his head.
The lone spot where, State
showed any real weakness was
at the wing positions. Jeffrey
termed these positions “not too
good” jin outlining the team’s good
and bad play during the game.
Goalie Undecided
Another issue that went unde
cided was that,of the goalie.
Against Bucknell, Jeffrey used
Jack Krumrine the first half and
Dick Cheskis the Second. Neither
had a chance to strut his stuff as
Bucknell had few shots • at- the
Lion goal. -
Penn State’s next foe will be
Army, which- last year walked
off with the Eastern Intercolle
giate soccer league .title with
eight wins and one tie. -The tie
was the second'match ,of the sea
son against, Cornell, 4-4.
In a series that started in 1932,
Penh State hoick the edge over
the Cadets,! 8-4, with two matches
ending in stalemates. The -last
time these clubs met was in -1948
with State coming out on the
long end of a 2-0 score at West
Point. , , ‘ ,
Charles Meets
Rex Lane
, PITTSBURGH, Oct. 9 (fl*) •
Dethroned Champion Ezzard
Charles risks his prestige and his
pride as the number one Heavy
weight contender in a 12-round
bout with Rex Layne tomorrow
night at Forbes Field.
It was just three, months ago
that Charles lost the title in the
same ring to aging Jersey Joe
Walcott via a seven round knock
out. Charles has a contract for g,
return bout with Walcott but de
feat at-the hands of Layne could 7
alter future plans. .
Charles is a heavy choice to
whip the strong but. awkward
Salt-'Lake City challenger. How
ever, the. former champion'picked
himself no soft touch for his
comeback. Layne has w,on 24 of
his 38 pro fights by 'knockouts
and holds,, a victory .over .Wal
cott. „
If Charles, has any ideas how
he expects to dispose.of his 23-
year-old .foe,' he’s keeping it to ;
himself.. But not his trainer 1 Ray;
Arcel. -
“Charles is stronger and is
punching harder" than in his last
three bouts,” comments Arcel.
“He isn’t 'worrying about the
fight. Don’t be surprised if he
scores a knockout.”
