SATURDAY, .SEPTEMBER 20> I?S2 Lion Soccer Team Meets Sampson Naval Base Here Today Paul Dierks Ouf of Action; Frosh Meet Boalsburg Stars A possible chipped ankle to right fullback Paul Dierks raised an eye of consternation from Penn State soccer Coach Biil Jeffrey yesterday as the Lions prepared for their exhi bition game with the Sampson (N. Y.) Naval Base today Match time • is 1 p.m. on the golf course 'and it imme diately will be followed by ,a county league game between the Penn State freshmen and Boalsburg. Boalsburg is com posed mostly of State College High School stars. Dierks probably will be re placed by Ray Dutrow, a senior from Centre Hall who saw ac tion at halfback last year. Jeffrey reported yesterday, however, that the chip still hadn’t been located. Dutrow Flanks Irvin If it is. State’s chances for a possible undefeated season could reach the nadirlands as Dierks is the mainstay~'of the Penn State defense. Flanking Dutrow will be Hap Irvin, a converted front line man who formerly played outside left and inside left last year. At halfbacks will be Frank Follmer (right), Captain Kurt Klaus (center), and, surprisingly enough, a change in the North east (Philadelphia) High School trio, Ralph Hoffman, a blond jun ior from Rockledge. Heretofore, Jack Charlton has been associated with this group, but Jeffrey thinks that perhaps he has found a “bet ter man” in Hoffmann. Charleston In Reserve Up front, it will be Bill Norcik, who performed s 6 splendidly last year, or Lynn Thomann at out side right. Another old .stand-by, Ellis Kocher. a good passer and just as good ball handler, will open at inside'right. The man with the backache. Jack Pinezich, will start at center forward. Don Shirk (inside left) and Hubie Kline, (outside left) who helped club State’s baseball team into the NCAA playoffs, round out the first team. Jack Charlton, usually the reg ular left halfback, and Gerry Gil lispie, a junior from Philadelphia who saw most "of his action at forward last year, will be the first men on call in case the Lions run into some “wolves' dressed in sheeps’ clothing.’’ Freshman - wise, Jeffrey will use Dave Haase, Mert Springer or Dick Matacio, the clever dribb ler Dick Packer. Joe Haller, a’ German, and Fred Bright from left to right. Fullback Tom Thompson The halfbacks will consist of Ihor Stulnyk, a Ukraine, on the right side; Fred Ledan at center; and Bill Faust on the left side. Tom Thompson will take care of the right fullback slot and Jeffrey didn’t indicate who would start bn the left side. At the goal position, geogra phically' at least, it will be some one from Budapest, Hungary, or Germantown (Philadelphia) High School. Quite a difference in miles, feet, and yards from the cities and the Delaware and Danube Rivers won’t take you there, ei ther. Sports Sarber Leads in Golf WASHINGTON, (JP) The' harder it rained today, the better little Jerry Barber played. As a result, he led at the halfway mark in the 72-hole, $15,000 National Celebrities Golf Tournament with a six-under-par 138. Meadow Colt Wins DELAWARE, O. — Meadow Rice, brown colt owned by W. G.

Mikan to Warriors? PHILADELPHIA, (JP) - The Philadelphia Warriors have ser iously offered the Minneapolis Lakers their entire 1951 basket ball team with one exception— Kor George Mikan, after learning Laker officials feel Big George ain’t what he used to be. By TOM SAYLOR Baseball Parade A combination of Max Sur lcont’s wild pitch, rain, and Roy Campanella’s return to action gave the Brooklyn Dodgers a 4-2 win over their Boston cousins yes terday. -The win puis Brooklyn three and a half games ahead of the New York Giants who played Philadelphia last night. Boston has beaten the Dodgers only twice this season. Sam Jethroe helped seal the Brook triumph in the eighth in ning when he hit a 2-1 pitch back to Pee Wee Reese. Had he waited, the ensuing rains would have caused a 2-2 tie. Roy Campanella doubled in the eighth with the score tied at 2-2. Gil Hodges sacrificed. After Carl Furillo flied out, Surkont cut loose with a wild pitch and Campy scored. Reese also drove in a run with a single. Things are beginning to look tough for the Giants. Manager Chuck Dressen of the Dodgers will have Preacher Roe ready for the Phillies next week. In .spite of the fact that the ex perts are pointing to a strength ened Giant hurling staff, it re mains that the Dodgers will be getting new help from the old Arkansas philosopher. With Monte Irvin a question mark, Leo (Silence is Golden) Durocher will be juggling a link up of players that seem to have an aversion to being juggled. This, of course, is understandable any time, but in the heat of the pennant race it may keep some of the' stalwarts of Coogan’s Bluff a bit jumpy and not at top per formance. While Brooklyn’s staff is not generally considered equal to the Giants’, it must be remembered thait the Dodger staff ERA is low er and it has pitched only a few less complete games than its across-the-river rivals. y */ * * All games in the American Lea gue took place last night. We chose Cleveland to cop the honors this year because, on paper, they had the best club in the league. Things, however, did not pan out that way. The Iridians had infield trouble; Sam Jones' pitching was a disap pointment; Luke Easter let in more runs than he drove in. Briefs I Game Ends—Ball Gone BEDFORD, Ind., (JP). The football 'game at Madden Grade School came to a sudden stop yes terday. Someone punted the ball to the top of the two-story build ing. Firemen came to the rescue with their, ladders. When they came down they not only had the football, but also four softballs. 3 for the price of 2 DRY CLEANING SPECIAL W. leaver FROMM'S W. “le. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA’ Freshman Grid Standout High By DICK MgDOWELL If high school records mean anything, Penn State grid fans can expect to see some fine football teams on Beaver Field in the near future. The roster of the freshman football squad shows some highly touted high school stars, and if they live up to expectations, the future looks pretty rosey for Blue and White fans. By Heart' Attack Hugo Bezdek, former foot ball coach at State from 1918 through 1929, was in fair con dition at Atlantic City hospi tal last night after suffering a heart attack, according to the Associated Press. Bezdek. who coached the State gridiron aggregations that amassed 30 wins without loss during the 1919-22 seasons, was stricken at his home in 108 S. Philadelnhia avenue, Ventor. N.J.. the AP re ported. He is 68. Bezdek coached football at State from 1918 through • 1929, and then remained as dean of the newly-organized School of Physi cal Education and Athletics until 1936. Bezdek also coached baseball at State. His baseball clubs were among the best in the East dur ing his 10 year-stay. Bezdek pro duced . a team that copped 29 straight during the seasons of 1920 and 1921, which still stands as a best in State baseball. ; From Penn State, Bezdek went to the pros, coaching the Cleve land Rams of the National Foot ball League for one season. Bezdek was the only college football coach to manage a ma jor league baseball team. Bezdek guided the Pittsburgh Pirates out of the cellar into the'first division in the 1917-18-19 period. Bezdek, who was born in Prague, Bohemia, came to Amer ica at the age of five and settled in Chicago. At Chicago Univer sity, where he played under Amos Alonzo Stagg, he was fullback on Captain Walter Eckersall’s cham pionship eleven and named to several all-America teams. He also played second base on the University’s baseball team. Bezdek’s contributions to foot ball were many and varied. He is given credit for the screen pass and the quick kick. Bezdek de veloped the screen to the point that it had to be prohibited. -He perfected the quick kick and af ter the on-side kick was origi nated'he took advantage of it to such an extent that the rules had to be changed. Roster School With only one full week of practice under his belt, however, freshman Coach Earl Bruce has not yet formed any definite opin ions. “Of course wo can’t tell too much about their abilities yet,” Bruce said, “but we have size, speed, and good attitude and plenty of it,” he added. Of the 60 men on his roster, halfback Lenny Moore is Bruce’s prize possession. The 170-pound speedster was named on the 1951 All-State first team. Fullback Don Bishop Along with Moore, Bruce has quarterback Bob Hoffman and guard Bob Pegues, of Farrel; cen ter Pete Petroff, California, Pa.; and John Thomas, a fullback from Donora. These four were all named to the All-WPIAL class AA squad last year. Thomas was also named to the All-Valley Big Six team, and Hoffman was picked on the All-State second team. Also among the high school “notables” are fullback Don Bish op. from Punxsutawney, picked for the All-State second team; end Walt .Cook, Aspinwall, and fullback Bill Straub from Hamp ton Townshin. Both were named on the All-WPIAL class B team last year. Quaterback Bob Allen of Harrisburg and fullback Charles Blockson of Norristown received honorable mention on the 1951 All-State selections. No Predictions One significant point can be seen in this yearns squad. Only one man on the roster makes his res idence outside Pennsylvania. The remainder is divided somewhat evenly among the various sec tions of the state. CLASSIFIEDS LOST NAVY LEATHER wallet—vicinity of Col lege Ave., South Allen St. containing important papers. Reward.
