Against
Kocher to Spell
Injured Pinezich
In Lion Lineup
Coach Bill Jeffrey’s soccer team
will take on Maryland University
this afternoon at College Park,
Md., in a match that will see the
Lions without the services of
Jack Pinezich,. inside right. Kick
off is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
Pinezich has not been in top
condition since the Bucknell con
test when he pulled a back mus
cle. Against Army, it wasn’t too
evident but the injury since then
has not gotten any better. In the
Navy game, Pinezich’s inability to
run put the skids on State’s of
fense.
Pinezich’s place will be taken
by Ellis Kocher, who previously
had started at center forward. Hap
Irvin, heretofore a left wingman,
will open at Kocher’s spot.
Coleman and Norcik Start
Outside of those changes, Jef
frey will use the same men that
fought Navy to a 2-2 deadlock
Saturday at Annapolis, including
left wingman Charlie Snyder and
goalie Bob Harris.
Jeffrey will start Captain Ron
Coleman at inside left and Bill
Norcik at outside right. Against
Navy, Coleman was one of five
players who saw action at the
center forward position. Irvin will
be the sixth player Jeffrey has
used there.
Northeast High Trio
The halfback positions will be
handed' by the Northeast High
school trio of Frank Follmer
(right), Kurt Klaus (center), and
Jack Charlton (left).
Klaus and Charlton both play
ed improved soccer last week.
Follmer also played his usual
good game.
At the fullback positions, the
Nittany Lions will use Paul Dierks
and Jay Simmons. Both played
good defensive soccer against the
Middies.
Penn State will be facing an
opponent that has captured the
Southern Conference soccer laur
els for the past two seasons. The
Terps won eight and dropped
two last year, including the 5-1
lacing State handed them.'
Terps Seek Third
- Maryland will be seeking its
third successive win of the year
but its first in the series with
Penn State. The Lions copped the
first game played here in 1948,
1-0. Since then, the Lions also
have won the two other matches
-3-2 in 1949 and 5-1 last year.
Maryland Coach Doyle Royal,
who also coaches tennis and acts
as assistant dean of men, will
field a team of four starters from
last year’s club.
Composing the quartet of re
turning men are Jim Savage, left
wing; Captain Eric Bear, goalie;
Don Soderberg, center halfback;
and Hector Ormachea. a Bolivian,
who will probably see action in
the backfield.
Like Army, Maryland boasts of
several foreign players on its
club. Savage, Maryland’s most
consistent scorer last year, hails
from Peru while Hector Salinas
is from Nicaragua. Salinas was
counted on to be the regular cen
ter halfback this year, but he
suffered a foot injury which,
might put him on the disabled
list for the year.
Lauricella Is
Back of Week
NEW YORK, Oct. 23 (tP)
Hank Lauricella, slight Tennes
see tailback who can run, pass
and kick—and do all three well
—was named Back of the Week
today in the weekly Associated
Press poll.
Lauricella, a throwback to the
days before football became a
game of two platoons and a half
dozen “specialists,” has been go
ing well all season for Tennessee,
but he reached his 1951’ peak in
Tennessee’s traditional toughie
against Alabama.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE e-DLL'EGE PENNSYLVANIA
Seek Second Win
Maryland Today
Undefeated Army
Threat to Harriers
Even though the Lion cross-country team scored their third
straight win of the season in a highly impressive manner over Michi
gan State Saturday, Coach Chick Werner’s harriers can hardly have
any peace of mind with powerful Army their opponent Friday.
Never before have five Penn State runners, as a team, run so
fast on the same day as they did against the Spartans. The 1951 Lion
harriers had cracked a record set
only last year by a national cham
pionship team which was the best
the Lions have ever had.
Counting either Dud Foster,
Red Hollen or Jack Homer as
the fifth finisher (all three tied
fdr fourth), the time of 26:26.5
was the fastest ever recorded by
a fifth man on a Nittany x-coun
try team.
Premature Speculation
Vols on Top;
Spartans
Move to 2nd
NEW YORK, Oct. 23
Tennessee, which took over- the
coveted No. 1 spot today in the
weekly Associated Press football
poll, stands a good chance of
staying on the top rung the rest
of the season.
The powerful Vols, voted the
team most likely to be No. 1 in
the AP’s annual “crystal ball”
poll before the season, have a
half-dozen games left but they’re
against Tennessee Tech, North
Carolina, Washington and Lee,
Mississippi, Kentucky and Van
derbilt.
Spartans Move Up
North Carolina and Kentucky,
which seem to have found the
winning combination, could
cause trouble. But both have
been beaten soundly on occasion
this year, and if Gen. Bob Ney
land’s lads keep up their present
pace, they should sail through.
Tennessee thus finally made
the grade after threatening for
three weeks. After the Vols
thrashed Alabama, 27-13, the
nation's sports writers and
sportscasters gave Tennessee
1354 voles to 1204 for second
place Michigan State. State
again had to come from behind,/
this time to whip Penn State,'
32-21.
Georgia Tech polled 1022
votes, good for third place, while
Illinois and Maryland filled out
the top five with 878 and 841,
respectively. The remainder of
the first ten included Southern
California (6), Baylor (7), Prince
ton (8), California (9), and Texas
(10).
Three Have Lost
Tennessee’s margin over Michi
gan State was built largely on
first place votes. The Vols lured
70 first place nominations to only
28 for Michigan State. Georgia
Tech had 16. The points were
tabulated on the basis of ten for
first, nine for second and so on.
Strangely, three of the top ten
teams—Southern California, Cal
ifornia, and Texas have been
defeated, while three outfits that
could not crash the top have un
blemished marks. They are Stan
ford, No. 11; Cornell, No. 12; and
Northwestern, No. 13.
Robinson Goes
Info Net Finals
Defending IM independent ten
nis champ Dick Robinson again
dealt out love set-victories to ad
vance to the finals of the inde
pendent division of the' 1951 IM
tennis singles tourney.
Robinson ousted Baird Ham
monds, 6-0, 6-0, in the quarter
finals and J. D’Andre, 6-0, 6-0, in
the semi-f ina 1 s. D’Andre had
reached the semi-finals with wins
over C, Hibben, 6-4, 6-1, in the
quarters and O. Hertzel, 6-0, 6-2,
in the round of four.
Louie Landon advanced to the
semi-finals with two straight set
wins. Landon eliminated L. Wil
liams, 6-2,- 6-3, and R. Williamson,
6-1, 8-6.
The last second round match
found T. Clay moving up on .a
default from J. Steen.
The fastest time for a Lion fifth
man prior to Saturday was Don
Ashenfelter’s time of 26.41 as
fifth Penn State finisher against
Manhattan last fall.
This surprising mark by a team
which was figured to have little
left after a national championship
season may lead to some prema
ture speculation on title chances
this year.
. But Coach Werner cautioned
that his harriers may never re
peat their “rising to the occasion”
against the Spartans.
Cadets Win 4 Straight
At any rate. Army stands as a
strong threat to cut short the
nine consecutive dual meet tri
umphs hung up by the Lions since
1949.
The Cadet runners .have rolled
to four straight dual triumphs
this fan in a fashion which indi
cates that they are practically
number one on the Eastern cross
country list.
Shea Threat
Villanova fell to the West
Pointers 20-40 in their opener.
The next week NYU took an 18-
45 lacing and two weeks ago the
Soldiers edged an outstanding
Syracuse harrier team, 27-29. Just
last Saturday Armg defeated Set
on Hall to add their fourth vic
tim.
Although Cadet Dick Shea is
a top runner and the principal
reason for Army successes this
fall, a'cross country team never
wins consistently with one out
standing runner alone.
Army’s Lou Davis, Olive and
Cory so far have, been hitting
around 26:30 for five miles to
make up the Cadets’ scoring
punch behind Shea.
« Shea, Army’s “Pony Express,
has run five miles no faster than
25:13 to date this season.
7 Advance in IM
Tennis Competition
Seven men have advanced to
the fourth round of the 1951 IM
fraternity tennis singles play with
third round victories.
Bruz Ray and Dez Long, both'
of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, turned
in decisive scores. Ray ousted
Nick Casale, Phi Delta Theta, 6-
0, 6-1, while Long whipped Joe
Brand, 6-3, 6-2.
Sigma Nu’s Mike Kirshner eli
minated Bruce Lustagarten, Beta
Sigma Rho, 6-4, 7-5, and Dick
Allio, Kappa SigmaT extended the
three beat Bill* Shott, Phi
Gamma Delta, 6-4, 2-6, 6-1.
Another three-setter found
Jerry Kotzen, Beta Sigma Rho,
dumping Sigma Phi Sigmas
Charles Teller, 6-8, 6-0, 6-2. Dick
Wert, Lambda Chi Alpha, pinned
love sets on Alpha Chi Rho’s Dick
Martz, 6-0, 6-0, and Tony Owoc,
Sigma Chi, rounded out the third
round action by beating Robert
Kennedy, Sigma Phi Epsilon, 6-
3, 6-2.
In three consecutive games—
the 1950 final against Pitt, and
the opening 1951 games against
Oregon State and Michigan—the
Michigan State football defense
gave up only 27 net yards rush
ing, an average of but nine per
game. •
Gridders Meefltnproved
West Virginia Saturday
Penn State’s football team will go up against a much-improved
West Virginia University team this weekend on Beaver Field.
One of Penn State’s oldest rivals, the Mountaineers this, year
have a young ball team which has had to depend on freshmen and
sophomores to fill positions which were hit hard by graduation.
So far this season, Coach Art Lewis’ squad has won four
contests, while losing only one.
In the opener, the Mountaineers
had to come from behind in the
final ten minutes of play to down
spunky little Waynesburg Col
lege.
Wildcats
Lose 12-0
To Co-Op
By JIM PETERS
Lou Tenerove had a hand in
both touchdowns as Nittany Co-
Op scored twice in the second
half to defeat the Wildcats, 12-0,
in last night’s intramural foot
ball opener.
" Tenerove intercepted a pass on
the Wildcats’ nine yard line, a
minute after the second half be
gan and raced into the end zone
for the score. Later, Tenerove
fired a short pass to Jim Smith
gall for the final score. The play
covered one yard and climaxed
a drive set up by Dick Moser’s
interception on the Wildcats’ 19.
KDR Wins
Kappa Delta Rho eliminated
Acacia from IM play, 6-0, by vir
tue of a first half touchdown.
The winners drove 26 yards for
the score with Jack Graham pass
ing 11 yards to Bob Burns after
having taken a pitch-out from
Bernard Ambrose.
KDR had a 53 yard scoring play
called back a moment before the
first half ended because of too
many men in the backfield.
Lords, ATO Win
The Lords'ran and passed their
way to an easy 25-6 win over
Dorm 26 in the third game of the
night. A 66 yard drive was com
pleted when Milton Dickerson
oitched out to Joe Olnev who
threw to John Soderberg for the
touchdown that broke a 6-6 tie
and put Lords out in front to
stay. David Bennett ran three
and 19 yards, respectively, for
the last two scores.
The combination of Paul Step
hanie to John McCall gave Alpha
Tau Omega a 7-6_ haiftime lead
over Delta Upsiloii and _ ATO
went on to score a 19-6 victory
by adding two more touchdowns
in the second half.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24; W6l
Down Richmond
In their second game of the
year and their first Southern
Conference test, the Mountain
eers whipped Furman, 18-7. Wash
ington & Lee took the measure
of the men from Morgantown,
34-0, to hand West Virginia its
first and only defeat of the sea
son.
Then, with Lewis making a few
changes in his offensive combina
tion, the Mountaineers began to
click, downing Richmond, 24-0,
and last Saturday swamping Gen
eva, 89-0.
“Potentially, West Virginia is
a dangerous ball club,” - says
Frank Patrick, assistant Penn
State coach, who scouted the
Mountaineers.
Good Passer
“It is the type of team which
could rise to the occasion and
knock off its toughest opponent,”
said Patrick.
Patrick went on to -say that the
Mountaineers pass a good deal
and have a good passer in Gerald
Mclnerney, a sophomore who did
not play ball last year except in
spring .practice.
Mclnerney’s favorite receiver
is Paul Bischoff. ' who led the
Bast in pass receiving last year
"nth 35 receptions for 581 yards.
He ranged in the nation.
Strong Defensively _ ■
Soohomore Dick Luciani is the
Mountaineer’s biggest ground
threat. Tod ground gainer for
West Virginia, Patrick describes
him as a “power runner with
good speed.”
Defensivelv, Patrick describes
the Mountaineers as a “strong
ball team.” The fact that they
haven’t been scored on in their
la't two contests bears him out.
The contest Saturday will mark
the eighteenth time the .two
schools have met on the gridiron.
Penn State has won 12 of the 17
games played.
