Penn State Gridders Host
West Virginia U. Tomorrow
Lions Will Try
For' hird Win
Of Season
By ERNIE MOORE
The Nittany Lions of Penn
State will be 'out to tame the
Mountaineers of West Virginia
University for the seventh
straight time when the two foot
ball teams meet tomorrow after
noon on Beaver Field.
In last season's game, Coach
Rip Engle's Lions turned back
West Virginia, 27-0. The last time
the Mountaineers conquered a
Penn State grid team was in 1944
when the Morgantown tea m,
paced by Jimmy Walthall, scored
a close 28-27 victory.
Top Pass Catcher
Spectators at tomorrow's game
can expect to see a good many
passes fill the air over Beaver
Field. West Virginia Coach Art
Lewis has a good passer in Ger
ald Mclnerney, sophomore quar
terback, and two good pass re
ceivers in ends Paul Bischoff and
Bill Barker.
Bischoff, th e Mountaineers'
candidate for All-America hon
ors, led the East in pass catch
ing last season, snagging 35 for
581 yards and three, touchdowns.
Although he ranked second to
Ceep Youmans of Duke in recep
tions in the Southern Conference,
of which West Virginia is a mem
ber, the Mountaineer ace gained
more yardage than Youmans.
Anders, Leonard Out
The Lions are expected to
throw up an aerial circus of their
own tomorrow, since reports are
that the Mountaineer pass de
fense is not too strong. Last Sat
urday, in Morgantown, Lewis'
squad ran up the highest score
a West Virginia grid team has
ever scored when it swamped
little Geneva College, 89-0. Al
though Geneva couldn't push
over a touchdown, the Conven
anters managed to run up better
than ten first' downs via the air
lanes.
In tomorrow's cont es t, the
Lions, who will be out to get
back on the win trial after los
ing to Michigan State last Sat
urday, will be without the serv
ices of fullback Paul Anders and
will get only limited, duty from
defensive halfback Bill Leonard.
Anders, who was injured in the
Nebraska game will not be back
in action until the Purrdue con
test next weekend.
Rowell May Kick
Leonard, who injured his knee
in practice early this week, will
not play any defensive ball to
morrow but it is possible that he
will kick the extra points. The
Lion pace-kicking specialist has
been better than average this
season in kicking the points after
touchdowns, having converted
nine of 13. Against Nebraska, he
booted a 15 yard field goal.
If Leonard is not able to kick
tomorrow, the job of kicking the
PAT's will go to freshman Bud
dy Rowell, an offensive halfback.
Defensive linebacker Joe Grat
son will probably do the kicking
off.
Sophomore Ken Newman is ex
pected to replace Leonard at the
defensive halfback post. Outside
of that change in the defensive
team, the starting lineup will
probably remain the same as
started against Michigan State.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Pigskin Pipe Dreams
Pigskin Pipe Dreams, the Daily Collegian's prediction contest,
enters its sixth week. The sportswriters have a comfortable margin
over their football opponents, and have won the contest every
week. This week the gridders will be represented by Joe Gratson,
defensive linebacker.
Assistant sports editor "Fearless" Bob Vosburg, who leads
the contestants individually, predicts several upsets this week. He
forsees Virginia updumping Duke, and likes the TCU Horned Frogs
over Southern California.

footers Show Good
Form at Maryland
Displaying its best brand of ball this year, Penn State's soccer
team won its second match of the year, edging Maryland, 1-0, Wed
nesday at College Park.
' The contest was played in conditions more suitable to swimming
as intermittent showers marred the caliber of play throughout.
The lone score of the contest came at 12:10 of the second period
when center forward Hap Irvin
took a pass from center halfback
Kurt Klaus to tally.
Irvin's appearance at center
forwardo marked the sixth time
Coach Bill Jeffrey has changed
men there. This time, however,
Jeffrey may have found the man
he has been looking for. Irvin or
iginally played at center forward,
but Jeffrey switched him to out
side left last year.
Baer Stars
Outside of the State goal, the
rest of the match was purely a
defensive game as both teams bat
tled furiously on ' the drenched
field.
The Lions might have had two
or three more goals but the Terp
goalie, Eric Baer, a •possible All-
American, give a brilliant ex
hibition as he came up with bet
ter than 20 saves. Lion goalie
Bob Harris ,on the other hand,
had relative few chances, stop
ping fewer than ten shots.
Jeffrey w a s visibly pleased
about the game. He said, "This
was easily our best game this
year, and Maryland had a good
club, too. In fact, it was better
than Navy's. B o b Harris (the
Lion goalie) gave a good per-

wasn't as effectiVe as in the Navy
game."
Harris .would have had several
more shots coming his way but
for the fine defensive work of
fullbacks Paul Dierks and Jay
Simmons. Time and time again,
Dierks and Simmons kept the
Maryland forwards outside.
The St ate victory was the
fourth consecutive win over the
Marylanders since the series was
inaugurated in 1948. The Lions
also won that game, 1-0, and then
grabbed 3-2 and 5-1 wins the fol

State will probably use the

Maryland. For the second succes

who still is 'on the disabled list
with a pulled back muscle. Ellis
Kocher will replace Pinezich.

Fourth Over Terps
Cadet Harriers Challenge
Lion Meet Streak Today
Untouched by the "cribbing scandal" which wrecked its fdotball
team, Army's unbeaten cross country runners pose a serious threat
to snap Penn State's nine straight dual ,meet winning streak this
afternoon at the Military Academy.
The run with the Cadets today ; definitely the Lions'
test until the November Intercollegiates, pits two unbeaten
squads, the winner- of which, will
probably receive No. 1 rating in
the East.
The Lions have soundly beaten
Pitt, Cornell, and Michigan State
already this season while Army
was trouncing Villanova, New
York University, Syracuse,,, - and
Seton Hall.
Romped Over Villanova -'
Intercollegiate x-country cham
pion Dick Shea, who took first
place in all four meets for the
Cadets so far this season, is a
runner the likes of which the
Lions haven't met all- season. His
explokve finish makes him prac
tically 'unbeatable in collegiate
races.
' Shea led the romp over Villa
nova in Army's 20-40 season
opener. Cadet Olive finished sec
ond, beating the Wildcat's Irish
Joe Barry by two yards. Bob
Day took fourth and Captain Lou
Davis was sixth for the Army.
Defeat Syracuse
The next week, as NYU
18-45, Shea won, Davis ran sec
ond, Cadet Healy fourth,' and Day
was fifth.
By the Syracuse meet the first
week of this month, Army hit its
peak with a 27-29 win over the
stronge Orange. Shea ran a terri
fic 25:13 five miles to win again.
Olive finished fourth in 26:37,
Davis fifth in 26:45, and Cadet
Cory ran 26:48 in sixth.
Olive, Davis and Cory's times
are about on a par with State's
middle three, Dud Foster, Red
Hollen, and Jack Horner. These
three Lions ran 26:26.5 last week.
Shea may win individual hon
ors but the Lions can carry the
meet victory if their third,
fourth, and fifth men can. edge
the Army's middle three. The
middleLof-the-order runners will
probably decide the outcome.
Lions Ready
Also running in the Lions' first
away meet today are Bill Ashen
felter and Lamont Smith. These
two have the best chance of stay
ing up with Shea.
Frosh Jim Hamill and Pete
Sarantopoulos are the only .two
other Nittany runners who made
the car trip to the Point yester
day.
Hill running workouts at Cen
ter Hills Country Club before the
team departed showed the Lions
to be in good shape for the race
with the West Pointers. ,

3 Teams
Post Swim
Victories
Encountering 'little opposition
while registering their second in
tramural swimming triumph, Pi
Kappa Alpha's swimmers easily
splashed their way past Sigma
Pi yesterday afternoon at Glenn
land pool. Phi Kappa Sigma and
Phi Delta Theta also scored vic
tories.
By piling up a commanding
lead, the Pi Kappa Alphas were
able to turn in the win. For the
second time in, the past week,
they have scored 30 points •or
better.
•
Disputed Victory
Turning in a 34.4 time for the
60 yard freesstyle, Bob Br u rn
bough easily won his, even t.
Teammate Gil Wetzel finished
second. Brumbaugh also swam on
the winning 120-yard relay team.
In one of the most exciting
thatches of the season, Phi Kap
pa Sigma recorded -a disputed
victory over Alpha Sigma Phi,
21-19. . .
The dispute erupted when
ASP's diver Bill May executed a
back one-and-one-half summer
sault tucked. On this dive Bill
was given a 1.6 difficulty. A
question arose to the effect that
the dive was worth a '2.1 diffi
culty. All dives are rated on a
10 point basis. Thus, Carl Evan
kowich, PKS, was proclaimed the
victor. The final decision was not
available at press time.
Triple Winner
The PKSs captured the, 60-yard
backstroke, breaststroke, diving,
and lost the 120-yard freestyle
relay- event.
Capturing first place in each
of the five events, merlads from
Phi Delta Theta beat Delta-Theta
Sigma, 26-5. Tom Smith was a
triple winner for the victors, gar
nering first place in the freestyle,
diving, and swimming on the re--
lay squad.
Bobwhites have become rare
in many parts of Pennsylvania.
