r PAGE TEN Booters to Open 27th Year Lions Host Bucknell Here Oct. 4 By TOM SAYLOR Penn State will open its 27th season of spccer, a game re sembling football apologies to Coach Bill Jeffrey because he gets perturbed at the asso ciation, when Bucknell comes here Oct. 4. With the addition of Duke and Penn and the dropping of Gettys burg, State will play an other wise unchanged schedule. Meet Penn, Temple The Lions will ’ engage Buck nell, Maryland, Navy, Colgate, and Army at home on successive Saturdays. After that, State will journey to Rebelland to face North Carolina and Duke on a weekend. Following that tour, State will face Temple, soccer bowl con querer of San Francisco this year and Penn on successive Satur days at Philadelphia. Lying around in the darkness, waiting to pounce on the Nittany Lions like a pack of wolves, will be Army, Navy, and Temple, three clubs that have given Penn State trouble over the years. Navy Toughest Foe In 26 years of soccer, Penn State has won 144, lost 21, and tied 26. Mighty good for any sport marbles, tennis, or anything you like. Of the 21 losses suffered by State, this trio has inflicted 15. Navy is the leading conspirator, having beaten State six times. Army follows with .five wins while Temple’s Owls have de feated State on four occasions. This threesome has also dealt one-third of the 26 ties to Penn State. Temple has four to its credit, Navy three, and the Cadets two. Lost All-American A wealth of returning veterans, including practically the entire front wall—right wingman Bill Norcik, inside right Ellis Kocher, Charley Snyder, Don Shirk, Hap Irvin, and Jack Pinezich, who was sidelined most of the time with an injured back last year, but kicks the ball with a force of a hurricane, will be back. Pinezich is a good bet to re place the gaping hole left by the graduation of Captain and inside left Ron Coleman, State’s lead ing scorer last year and ' one of the best ball handlers in the East. Coleman, who hails from St. Louis, was an All-American in 1950. In the backfield. the Lions will have Frank Follmer, National Soccer Coaches Association sec ond team All-American last year, Captain Kurt Klaus, and Jack Charlton. This trio hails from Philadelphia and has been play ing soccer together since the in vention of water. Sophomore Paul Dierks returns at fullback, but who will replace Jay Simmons is not certain yet. Goalie-wise, it will probably be a tossup between Bob Harris, a fiery redheaded junior from Bridgeville and Jack Krumrine, a State College boy who served as State’s ace relief pitcher on the baseball team —a team that went to the NCAA playoffs be fore bowing to Missouri and Holy Cross.

The Booters began practice on the golf course Monday. BASEBALL PARADE When we left this typewriter last spring things were in a state that might be described as almost normal. Baseball things, that is. Who would have thought then that the Philadelphia A’s would be battling the mighty Bosox for a first division slot? And who would have thought that the Tigers, after swinging a mighty deal, would still be mired in the mud? 1 All of which brings us to an eleven-inning meeting between the Bengals and the Red Sox yesterday which terminated in a 4-3 Tiger victory. Successive homers by Cliff Mapes and Joe Ginsberg off Ivan Delock turned the trick. Detroit’s Art Houtteman took the victory that made things just a little rougher for Red Sox fans, who are willing to settle for a first-four standing. It was the righthander’s first victory as a starter in 32 days. The Sox had gone ahead 3-2 in the top of the eleventh when rookie left fielder Russ Sullivan let one through for an error. Ted Lepcio scored from first on the play. Then on the other side of the baseball fence we have a little t i f f 1 e in the National League. The question before fhe house is, "Will the Miracle of Coogan's Bluff be repeated?" This, to the uninitiated, means, "Will the Giants repeat?" They, too, gained on the Dod gers—notcounting last night’s re- 4 * Deposit with The Peoples National Bank ® Conveniently Located ® Friendly Service ® Insured Saving Up to $lO,OOO ® Checking Accounts / The Peoples national Bank 117 Allen Street By BARRY FEIN suits—by knocking off a' collec tion of Class C and D leaguers (known variously as the Pirates or Picaroonies), 11-6. The Jints wasted no time’ on young Cal Hogue and his show er-mate, Jim Waugh, by racking up six runs in the first inning. Of course the Bucs weren’t go ing to take all this without put ting up a good fight. Thereupon, they went out and committed five errors, permitting the New Yorkers six unearned tallies. The Giants will have to work their miracles without the aid of their chief sorcerer, Leo Dur ocher, for the next two days. The peppery manager 'was just handed a two-day suspension and a $lOO fine. He was, under the rules, held responsible for a couple of Giant duster-ball hurlers recently. There’s talk going around the Junior Circuit that the Cleveland Indians are becoming the choke up boys of that league. Sports Thru The Lion’s Eye By JAKE HIGHTON Collegian Sports Editor If Nittany grid coach Rip Engle were No Leahy he would most certainly glance at the Lions’ schedule and moan long and loud, “We’ll lose six.” Even with less material per haps than Mr. Leahy ever had, the Ripper is far from humming the “Blues in the Night.” Rip has a mighty good herd of football beef on the hoof, judging from the twice-daily drills during the last three weeks. But the schedule! Take a look and see if it /isn’t a possibility that State could lose six: TEMPLE, Sept. 20, home—lt's football custom to open the sea son -with a'"breather," and the Templers are just about the closest thing to a breather on the Nitlany slate. Bui the Owls will sure make the Liohs puff hard if Coach A 1 Kawal can come up wifh a line to match his bright array of backfield talent. Sophomore Tex Robinson is already harking Philadelphians back to Temple's last great, Andy Toma Sic. Backs Duke Wuzzardo, Chet Broimke e* sl * Jimmy Kapp should ease some of Temple's graduation losses (nine first stringers.) PURDUE. Sept. 27, home-—Even runnersup in the Big Ten, as Purdue was last year, strike awe and respect in the Pacific Coast Conference. So with the Boilermakers figured a good chance to be the top tune in the rugged Big Ten, you know what State is up ‘gainst here. Coach Stu Holcombe has both reserve and strength in 3 lettermen. Holcombe’s hand also shows an ace in trumps. Ace of Passing Dale Samuels threads the eye of a needle with his aerials and during the last two seasons he has pitched 17 TD passes. Pre season experts have hung a sign on his locker already—“ All Ameri can.” WILLIAM & MARY, Oct. 4, home—Having changed coaches quicker than Leo Durocher pitchers, W&M's grid picture is a little muddled. But if the Indian Coach Jackie Freeman can build a team around his star back Ed Mioduszewski and giant tackle John Kreamcheck, State will find no' breathing spell here. .Miodusey picked up 6.8 yards per try last year to gain Bth ranking in the na tion and Kreamcheck is scaled 6-5, 245. WEST VIRGINIA, Oct. 11, away —Ordinarily this would be tucked in the Nittany _win column before the season was a kickoff old. (The Lions own a 13-4 bulge in the series.) ■ But this is no ordi nary year at Morgantown. Pappy Lewis’ lads are stacked with more of the same team which held the Lions to a 13-7 score last year. Mountie end Paul Bischo doesn’t let football get lonesome in the air, having shared 65 passes in the last two seasons. NEBRASKA, Oct. 18, home Two years ago All-Americ&n scorer Bobby Reynolds tallied 19, Penn State 0. Last year the Corn husker broken field runner scored ought and State won 15-7. Mr. Touchdown was ailing with a shoulder separation last year, but word from Lincoln is that the swivel-hipped Husker is healthy again, an unhealthy sign for opponents. On Alumni Homecoming Day. the story may well hinge on: as Reynolds goes, so goes -Ne braska. MICHIGAN STATE, Oct. 25, away It’s customary for the scribes to gush with verbal tears when a team loses All-Americans like end Bob Carey and tackle Don Coleman. But no one is crying for Biggie Munn. In fact, the AP sports writers already have ticketed the Spartans as No. 1 in the nation.
