Anders Returns at Fullback
For Syracuse Tilt Saturday
Leonard to See
Limited Action
This Week
Penn State's hopes to get back
in the win column when the Lion
football team meets Syracuse Sat
urday on Beaver Field took on a
brighter hue yesterday when it
was learned that fullback Paul
Anders would be back In action
against the Orange.
The 200 pound linebuster hasn't
seen game action since the Ne
braska contest when he injured
his ribs. But in Tuesday night's
scrimmage his running was im
pressive, and he will ) probably
get the starting fullback assign-'
ment Saturday.
• Still a Question
Halfback Bill Leonard, wh o
was also on the injured list the
past two ball games, will prob
ably return for limited action.
He is 'slated to do the kicking
for the Lions, but probably won't
play athis regular defensive half
back spot.
Tackle Bill Hockersmith and
fullback Matt Yanosich, who were
injured in the Purdue contest,
have both scrimmaged this week,
and will probably be ready for
Syracuse. Whether Don Eyer, who
was the Lions' outstanding de
fensive player against the Boiler
makers, will be ready is still a
question. Eyer suffered a sprain
in his shoulder at Purdue, and
there is a possibility that he may
not play Saturday against the
Orange.
Combination Attack
Anders' return to the offensive
lineup might give the Lions the
scoring punch which they have
been lacking in the last two con
tests. Matt Yanosich, who played
the fullback spot while Anddrs
was out, did a better than aver
age job for Coach Rip Engle's
team, but the Lions missed An
ders' power drives into the line.
Engle sent the State gridders
through a short defensive scrim
mage yesterday in preparation
for Syracuse's combination wing-
T, double-wing attack.
The Orange's success with the
double-wing against Fordhara two
weeks ago has the Nittany Lion
coaching staff guessing.
Even Record
"We don't know what to pre
pare for," said Engle. Syracuse
has shown an inclination toward
the double-wing but we have to
prepare for both. They've had a
two week layoff, and we don't
know what to expect."
Syracuse will go into Satur
day's game with a three won,
three lost record. Th e Orange
gridders have beaten Temple (19-
0), Lafayette (46-0), and Fordham
(33-20). Coach Ben Schwartz
walder's team has lost to Cornell
(21-14), Illinois (41-20), and Dart
mouth (14-0). Syracuse did not
play last week.
Penn State and Syracuse have
met on the gridiron 28 times,
dating from 1922. The Lions hold
the edge in the series, having won
12, lost 11, and tied five.
Name Training Rooms
Penn State's new training
rooms at Beaver Field have been
named in honor of Trainer John
L. "Jack" Hulme, who died in
1946. Bronze plaques already
have been placed, and dedicatory
exercises will be held early in
1952.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLtdE. PiIkINSYLVANTA
Tortheels May Find
Booters Stronger
With the possible insertion of Jack Pinezich into the 'regular
lineup at inside right, Penn State's soccer team will be at full
strength against North Carolina for the first time since . the Buck
nell match. •
Pinezich wrenched his back in the Lion opener against the
Bisons and has not been physically right since. The burly, freshman
started the next contest against
Army, but that only served to
aggravate the injury.
In State's next three games
with Navy, Maryland, and -Col
gate, Pinezich - played only in the
middie game at Annapolis, where
he saw some duty at inside right
as, well as center forward.
Should Pinezich be ready for
the Tarheels, Coach Bill Jeffrey
might switch, two other front line
positions.
Betas, Sigma
Chi Mermen
Win Again
Delta Upsilon's swimmers.,, lost
a tough one last night when - their
anchorman left the wall in the
120 yard freestyle before the
touch judge started him off. Thus,
Sigma Chi . , last season's champs,
was Awarded a hard-fought 23%-
17 1 / 2 quarter-final triumph over
their rivals at Glennland pool.
Beta Theta Pi successfully
broke Delta Sigma Phi's four
match winning skein in the other
fray. The two winners will op
pose each other in tonight's semi
finals.
With Sigma Chi'-
.leading 18%-
17 1 / 2 going into the 120 yard relay
event, DTJ's team of Bob Decker,
Jerry ~Xaurey, Bud Nicholson,
'and George White stroked to vic
tory, but the disqualification re
versed the score, and Sigma Chi,
as a result, entered the semi
finals.
Maurey, DU `sprinter, pulled
ahead in the final few yards to
win the 60 yard freestyle race
with a 35.9 clocking. The DUs also
captured the next event (60 yard
backstroke), but lost the breast
stroke. Maurey came back to take
the diving, and then the freak
incident occurred.
After winning four consecutive
matches in a row, Delta Sigma
Phi's aquamen were defeated 23-
17 by Beta Theta Pi. The victors
were forced into the final event
on their card before their 120
yard freestyle relay team of Al
Helffrich, Ray Seevers, George
Lynch, and John Cronstedt gave
them the necessary points Ito win.
This foursome stroked a fast
1:02.5 timing in accomplishing
their feat.
Delta Sig started off in fashion
able style 'when sprinter Ned
Shields swam a 33.9 race in the
60 yard freestyle event. Then the
Betas retorted when Lynch got
off to a fast start, winning the 60
yard backstroke race in 45.3 sec
onds.

Switch in Lineup
Ellis Kocher would move from
inside right to left wing where
he and Charlie Snyder would al
ternate. If this is the case, Koch
er will probably receive the nod
over Snyder for a starting berth.
The other modification in the
starting eleven would probably
send Don Shirk in the center for
ward slot to replace Hap Irvin.
Against Colgate two weeks ago;
Shirk turned the tide for the,Nit
tany Lions by virtue of goals in
the third and fourth periods.
Outside of those changes, State
will use the same men who won
over Colgate.
Halfback Spots
Handling the other two posts
up front will be Captain Ron
Coleman, who leads the team in
scoring, with four goals, at in
side and Bill Norcik, outside
right.
The halfback slots will be
manned by Frank Follmer, right;
Kurti Klaus, center; and Jack
Charlton, left. Paul Dierks and
Jay Simmons will take care of
the fullback positions, with Dierks
opening ,on the right side and
Simmons on the left.
State's baCkfiel4 is looking bet
ter every game and it will be
given another severe test Satur
day when the Carolinians , come
to town.
Holding down the goal tending
duties will be either Bob Harris
or Jack Krumrine. Harris opened
against Colgate.

Other Guys'
anyone who has seen Penn State's grid team
can tell you; Joe rates with the best in backing
up the forward wall. Time after
time he has prevented enemy
touchdowns with'his diving tack

Wants to be Pro
Gratgon, who packs his 210
pounds on a five foot, 11 inch
frame, is a junior in Physical Edu
cation. ,
Joe has definite ideas about his
future. After he is graduated, he
"would be very much interested"
in a pro football career,. if a suit
able offer were made to him.
When his playing days are over,
he intends to do some football
coaching.
Also a fine baseball player, Joe
has had many major league offers,
but has turned • them down in
favor of going to college. If he
fails to land a pro football con
tract, he will play professional
baSeball.
Formerly. a quarterback - on the
Dunbar Township High School
grid team, Joe acted on the ad
vice of P e n2i State's football
coaches when he switched to cen
ter last spring. He also believes
that a lineman has a better chance
to crack pro football. He ha s
found little difficulty in making
the turnover since he did some
linebacking in high school.
Incidentally, Joe was a f ine
signal-,caller in high school and
relates his most thrilling moment
on the gridiron in the role, of a
quarterback. •
"I'll never forget that time,"
Joe said. "It was .the last game
of the season against our natural
rivals, Connellsville High School,
and the score was tied,'?-7 in the
last period. I scored the winning
touch down on a quarterback
sneak."
"The fans and players rushed
up to me after' the game and car
ried me off the field. If was really
a wonderful experience."
After 'he was • graduated from
high school in 1948, he went to
work in the coal mines near Con
nellsyille for a year. Here he add
ed considerable poundage an d
strength which- has been a big
factor in his 'success ...as a line
man at Penn State.
