PAGE SIX Gridders Near Top Strength For Rutgers Tilt • The Nittany Lion football team will take its last workout on Beaver Field this afternoon before' entraining for New. Brunswick, NJ., early tomorrow morning. Coach Rip Engle will send the Lions through a light prac tice session in order to avoid injuries on the eve of departure. Physically, Penn State will be almost at top strength for tht contest Saturday with Rutgers University. Sophomore guard Pete Schoderbek is the only grid der who will definitely miss the, game because of an injury. Scho derbek suffered a severe sprain of the wrist in the Syracuse game last Saturday. Even Game Jinx Booters Eye Gettysburg 'Cousins' Penn State will tune up for its most important soccer match of the season against Temple, Nov. 24, when the Lions engage a mediocre Gettysburg squad on the baseball• field Saturday. State has yet to lose to a Gettysburg soccer team since the series was inaugurated in 1934. In fact, G-burg's two goals against the Nittany Lions last year was the highest total the Bullets have managed to score. In ten matches, the Bullets have tallied only five times. Wild Game State opened the series with a 9-1 massacre of the Bullets at State College in 1934. In the fol lowing four matches the Lions won all by shutout margins, roll ing up scores ranging from four to eight goals. In the State-Gettysburg match last year, the Lions rolled to a 5-2 win in a game that was mar red by rhubarbs and near fist fights. The game got so out-of hand that the referees finally ejected Penn State fullback Jay Simmons. Penn State finished with. a 9-1 log last season while the Bullets split even in ten matches. The Battlefield men tied for second in' their league with Washington College, Md. If Jack Pinezich, who played well against North Carolina, is ready for full duty again, State will have its second opportunity to perform as a full unit in top condition. Brilliant Show With only a few practice ses sions under his belt while in jured, Pinezich ; stepped on the field Saturday against Nor t h Carolina and gave a brilliant ex hibition of ball handling an d shooting. Captain Ron Coleman, who tallied three goals against Carolina, will be the. Lion of fensive threat. Bucknell Ends Season Sat. With Delaware LEWISBURG, Pa., Nov. 14—(N) —Bucknell University's 40-point a-game footbal teams winds up its season Saturday with its first bowl trip in 17 years riding on the outcome. The Thundering Herd of Buck nell has swept through eight straight opponents this fall to run its winning streak to 12 games, longest in Pennsylvania. Bucknell must beat Delaware Saturday to finish its first unbeaten season since 1931. This quiet college town of 4500 is mildly berserk about its football team. Merchants are planning to close up shop Saturday to go to the 17,000-seat stadium to watch the Delaware game. Talk is common about bowl bids and the university admits having received a number of feel ers. The Herd's last postseason ap pearance was in 1935 when Carl Snavely was head coach and Clark Hinkle was the star back. In that year, Bucknell walloped Miami (Fla.) 26-0 in the Orange Bowl. Phils Sign Youngster PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14—(?P) —Glenn Miller, who batted .700 in American Legion ball last fall, today was signed to a contract by the Philadelphia Phillies. Len Bartek, offensive gu ar d who suffered a sprained ankle, will be ready, but it is still not known whether defensive half back Bill Leonard will be ready for action. Th e State College High School product injured his knee before the West Virginia game. He returned to action against Syracuse but only to kick extra points. While the Lions seem to have hit their stride after rolling over Syracuse, 32-13, • showing their best display of power of the sea son, they will be facing the "even game jinx" when they tangle with the Scarlet at Rutgers Sta dium. Beat Brown So far this season, Engle's crew has been unable to cop an evened numbered game, losing the sec ond, fourth, and sixth. The Rut gers contest is the Lions' eighth of the season. But Penn State will be facing more than a jinx when they meet Coach Harvey Harman's grid ders. In six games this season, the Scarlet have won four while losing only two. Rutgers holds wins over Lafayette (47-12), New York University '(55-0), Fordham (13-7), and Brown (28-21). Only Temple (14-7) and Lehigh (21-6) hold wins over the Queensmen. Good Backs The meeting between the two schools Saturday will mark the third time the two have met on the gridiron. Rutgers won the first game in 1918, 26-3. Last season in the second game, Penn State evened the series by win ning an 18-14 thriller. Both games were" played on Beaver Field. Harman's attack is built around the Scarlet's hard running duo of Jim "Mighty Mo" Monahan and Bob D'Amato. Monahan is Rutger's candidate for All-Eastl honors. A fast and shifty runner, "Mighty Mo" is also a good pun ter and a sharp blocker. Running from the halfback position last season, he set a new Rutgers rushing record by averaging nearly six yards every time he carried the ball. He averaged 35.6 yards per punt last season. Running from the fullback spot this year, he is even more dan gerous as a kicker as Rutgers has been employing the quick kick with great success. D'Amato averaged better than four yards per carry last year. finishing the season as Rutgers' second leading ground, gainer. Bill McKechnie Jr., newly-ap pointed director of the_ Cincin nati Reds farm system, played first base and captained the 1935 Penn State baseball team.

Favor Army Over Lions IC4A's Despite the adage "stick with I a champion until he is licked," , no one could be blamed for I fav oring Army to upset Penn State's 1950 defending champions in the Intercollegiate cross country championship Monday in New York City. The Cadets enter the IC4A ti tle run with an unbeaten dual meet reco rd , . which now has reached 13 straight since 1949, in cluding ,a decisive 22-35 win over the Lions. Last Friday the Army harriers, the best in the history of West Point according to Lion Coach Werner ; completely routed eight heptagonal foes to . win the first of the three championships they will be contending for. The times recorded by the run ning soldiers in the heps were the best of any Eastern team all season. Incomparable Dick Shea ripped of f a sizzling 25:06.5 five-mile winning time, and although his teammates were far behind, they turned -in remarkable clockings. Syracuse Strong Army Captain Lou Davis took second with a 26:12 and Bob Day came home third in 26:30. Behind the sweep of the first three places, Bill Cory took fifth in the race and fourth for Army in 26:37. Fifth finisher for the Cadets in ninth place, Jim Effer was the only Army runner in the 27 min ute bracket. • Close behind Army in the role of favorites to win the IC4A title is a strong sophomore-laden Syra cuse squad. The Orangemen have lost only one meet all season, a squeaker to powerful Army 27-29, but have since improved considerably. Last Saturday Syracuse defeat ed NYU by a 22-35 score which was nearly identical to the 22-36 margin by which the Violets lost to the Lion harriers. Big reason for the Syracuse threat to the title is soph Ray Os terhout. Ray sped over Van Cort landt Saturday in 26:15.7, bu t earlier a.g a inst Manhattan he stopped watches in 25:32 on the Syracuse course. Captain Bill Irland and Tom Coulter are the second and third big guns for the - Orange, but Don Fryer and Gene Parker form a much weaker fourth and fifth man combination.

This entire plan, and especially the decisions of Wil liams, Wesleyan, and Yale to eliminate spring football prac tice, should receive great ap plauds from the Nittany valley. For it was two Penn State 'spokesmen, Dr. Carl P. Schott, dean of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, and Harold 'lke' Gilbert, graduate manager of athletics, who first proposed that such action be taken. Last spring before the Execu tive Cothmittee of the Eastern In tercollegiate Athletic Conference these two made the proposal that colleges abolish spring training and the two-platoon system and the over-emphasis of football in general because it was becoming "injurious to the general health of college athletics." It's encouraging to see a State born product catching on all over the counfry with good re sults in store for all. It'll be a great day, if it ever comes, when college sports return once again to a sane and respectable \ level. And it will be even greater when we'll be able to say it was all started here.
