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.

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.
Pirates Release Reiser,
Send Lombardi to Minors
PITTSBURGH, Nov. l4—(.lP)
The Pittsburgh Pirates of the Na

eran Pete Reiser his unconditional
release today.
The Pirates also released pitcher
Vic Lombardi outright to Indian
apolis of the American Associa
tion.
Coached 18 Years
Bob Higgins , now retired,
coached football at his a 1 m a
mater, . Pe n n State, from 1930
through 1948.
Baseball is the favorite game
of Penn State's sophomore T
quarterback, Bob Szajna, of Read
ing. The long, lean gridder is
looking forward to a major league
diamond career. Pa'ssing is his
football forte.

.Yesterday's announcement that American colleges as a whole,
under the guidance of the American Ccilmcil of Education, are
moving to get college athletics back on a !`sane" basis was not too
surprising.
This action 'began simmering
slowly since . then. It had to come
to see the break come now, before
it's too late. If the sports over
emphasis situation is allowed to
grow much longer it can easily
reach a point where only scandals
and disaster will end it.
It's good to see also that the

A committee
presidents head._
Hannah of Michigan State, has
been named to investigate the
intercollegiate sports problems.
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.
