State Won't Be Pushover
For Purdue, Says Engle
Lions Seek
To Improve
On Offense
Despite all the drums and
tubs being thumped on be
half of Purdue’s football team,
Penn State gridders and Coach
Rip Engle exude a quiet con
fidence over the Saturday
clash with the Boilermakers.
Engle bluntly threw down the
gauntlet with a promise that the
Lions “will not roll over and play
dead” for anyone—not even Big
Ten title contender Purdue.
Rados Ready
Meanwhile the Lions have been
running scrimmage against Earl
Bruce’s tough frosh squad in an
attempt to smooth out their of
fense.
Injury-wise the Lions are in
pretty good shape, with Engle
reporting quarterback Tony Ra
dos and his hurt knee in good
condition. . Rados, hampered all
fall by water on the knee, was un
expectedly inserted into the line
up against Temple Saturday—a
fortunate ci r cumstance in the
final outcome.
Permanent Lefthalf
Lefthalf Buddy Rowell, origi
nally listed for number one duty
ahead of Dick Jones, was banged
again during scrimmage Tues
day night and is not likely to play
against Purdue.
Junior Jones gave every evi
dence Saturday that he will be
the Lions’ permanent lefthalf.
The Bellevue scatback, only 5-9
and 165 pounds, twice caught Ra
dos’ passes which were key fac
tors in two Nittany touchdowns.
Eyer Leads Punters
Fullback Bob Pollard had the
best gaining average against Tem
ple with 4.9 yards per try.
Through the air, QB Bob Szaj
na had the best percentage of
completions with three out of six
for 22 yards. However, Rados
came through with the payoff
tosses for 81 yards even though
he only completed three of nine
throws.
One of the better Nittany jobs
in the Temple game was wing
back Don Eyers kicking. The
Chambersburg junior punted sev
en times and wound up with a
36.3 yards per kick average.
Boilermakers to Fly
Purdue University will fly its
football team here for Saturday’s
opening game date with Penn
State. The Boilermakers own two
DC-3s left over from sale of
equipment when the Civil Aero
nautics Authority denied the uni
versity permission to operate its
own commercial air line.
Rock Catches Jersey-in 13th
PHILADELPHI A—Young
Rocky Marciano knocked out old
Jersey Joe Walcott with a spec
tacular right hand shot to the
jaw in 43 seconds of the 13th
round Tuesday night to win the
heavyweight championship in a
bloody brawl.
The unbeaten Brockton, Mass.,
blockbuster got off the deck from
the first knockdown of his 43-
bout career in the first round to
touch of a wild ringside scene.
Just when it seemed that the
title dreams of the 28-year-old
kid from the shoe mills was due
to disappear before the boxing
skill and sturdy heart of the 38-
year-old champion, he let loose
his right hand bomb that changed
night to day.
It was like New Year’s eve in
Times Square as the good natured
Marciano partisans tried to hoist
the new champ to their shoul
ders.
Bleeding from a cut between
the eyes and a gash atop his head,
Marciano threw everything he
had in one desperation right that
crowned a new king to follow in

Fraternities Begin IM
Grid Season Tonight
The 1952 intramural touch football tournament will get under
way at 7 tonight at the IM field with a full slate of fraternity
games scheduled. The independent half of the tournament is sched
uled to start next week.
Eight fraternity squads will be unveiled for the first time this
season, including the new Phi Mu
Delta team. The Phi Mu Delts
meet Delta Chi in the opener at
7 p.m. Last season Delta Chi
moved - into the second round in
the single-elimination tourna
ment, beating Phi Kappa, 6-0, and
losing to Lambda Chi Alpha, 13-0.
Delta Sigma Phi will take on
Phi Sigma Delta in the number
two game of the night at 7:45 p.m.
Both squads were maiden losers
last year. Delta Sigma Phi drop
ping a tight 7-6 game to Theta
Chi in its first-round opener, and
Phi Sigma Delta, after drawing a
bye, lost a squeaker to Triangle,
7-6,
Zeta Beta Tail, loser to Theta
Xi, 12-6, in its opener in the 1951
season, will meet Lambda Chi
the line of John L. Sullivan, Jack
Dempsey and Joe Louis.
The Rock’s blockbuster right
crumpled Walcott with stunning
suddenness. Jersey Joe’s eyes
went blank as he sunk slowly to
the canvas from the delayed ac
tion effect of the punch.
Down went the Old Pappy guy
from Camden N.J., sinking slowly
to the deck, down with one knee
twisted under him, falling with
head down in a strange tableau.
There he'hung, almost as though
he was standing on his head.
It seemed Walcott couldn’t miss
his swarthy short-armed target
with the jarring left hook that
won the championship from Ez
zard Charles in July of 1951.
When he resorted to boxing in
the Rock’s chin in the first he
sank for a four count, the first
time he ever had been knocked
off his feet.
The huge crowd, estimated at
over 50,000, rose, expecting a
quick ending. But it sunk back
when Marciano came up swing
ing only to run into another hook

lalfback Dick Jones
Alpha in the third game of the
night at 8:30 p.m. Lambda Chi last
year drew a bye, ousted Delta Chi,
and then ran into the two-year
defending champ Sigma Nu. Sig
ma Nu won the third-round con
test, 32-6.
The final game will pit Delta
Upsilon and Beta Theta Pi at 9:15
p.m. Last year DU, after elimin
ating Theta Chi in overtime, 1-0,
lost to the tourney champ, Alpha
Tau Omega, 19-6. The Betas went
outscored on in their first three
contests, skunking Alpha Sigma
Phi, 20-0, Delta Tau Delta, 7-0,
and Triangle, 19-0. Then came
ATO. The champs beat the Betas,
7-6, in the semifinals.
that wobbled him at the bell.
Any doubt about Marciano’s
ability to take it was removed by
this exhibition. Old Jersey Joe,
often trading punches freely with
his challenger, gave his all in a
dramatic bid to save the crown.
When he restored to boxing in
the eighth, ninth, and 10th. he
made Marciano look like a novice
who winged wild punches that
cut only the cool air.

Soccermen Defeat
Sampson Air Base
“Pretty good” was the way Penn State soccer Coach Bill Jeffrey
described the Lion overall play—State won, 3-I—Saturday against'
the Sampson Naval Air Base.
State showed crisp ball hand
the Sailors who were loaded witl
who grew up with the game.
Jeffrey also commended left
halfback Ralph Hoffman, a sur
prise starter for the usually re
liable Jack Charlton. Jeffrey
termed Hoffmann an “agile little
fellow” who did a “good job ”
Another new face in State’s
opening lineup was the third base
man for Penn State’s NCAA base
ball team, Hubie Kline. Kline
started at outside left, but showed
some weaknesses in setting up
plays and heading the ball. The
third new face was Emil Borra,
who was subbing for the injured
Paul Dierks at right fullback.
Shirk Scores Twice
Dierks was reported to have a
chipped ankle bone but x-rays
have failed to verify that fact.
Dierks’ presence in the Lion line
up might make the difference in
a successful season.
State’s three tallies were scored
by center Jack Pinezich and in
side right' Don Sihrk, a blonde
who hails from nearby Thompson
town. Pinezich’s came in the sec
ond period, and after Sampson
tied the count in the third quar
ter, Shirk rammed two into the
nets to give the game to the Nit
tany Lions.
Easily the most improved play
er on the squad, Shirk, along with
Pinezich, Ellis Kocher, Bill Nor
cik, and more than likely, Kline,
will give Penn State many hard
driving feet to contend with come
opening game Oct. 4 here with
Bucknell.
Even the freshmen got into the
act Saturday, winning their open
ing game in the county league
over Boalsburg, 5-3.
Score Twice in Last Period
The underclassmen grabbed a
2-1 lead at the quarter, but Boals
burg tied the match, 2-2, at the
half. It was 3-3 at the three-quar
ter mark, and then State exploded
for two goals in the final period
to win, 5-3.
Forwards Mert Springer, Dave
Haase, Dick Matacio scored three
of the State goals, right halfback
Ihor Stulnyk another, and Shaw
the last one.
Jeffrey is especially high on
Springer, Stulnyk, and Dick Pack
er. Packer and Springer are for
wards, while. Stulnyk is a half
back.

The New York Yankees are like
a good registered pointer—once
they'smell a World Series there’s
no stopping them.
'They sighted their game in the
American League graveyard,
Fenway Park, yesterday and
flushed out a clean sweep of . a
doubleheader against the Red
Sox 3-2 and 8-6. The Sox don’t
get beaten very often at home.
Twin losses there are as rare as
autographed pictures of Jeffer
son Davis.
The wins extend the Bomber
lead to two full games over the
Cleveland Indians, who blanked
the White~Sox. 6-0. Mickey Man
tle was the margin of victory in
the 10-inning opener as he tripled
home the winning run against re
liefer and loser Dizzy Trout.
Mantle also figured in the sec
ond skirmish. His single, double,
and a three-run homer added up
to half the Yank runs. In addi
tion he threw out Dom DiMag
gio who had overrun first on a
single.
The National League champion
Brooklyn Dodgers put a second
string lineup in against the Phil
adelphia Phils and lost to ace
righty Robin Roberts, who stag
gered to a 9-7 win, his 27th of the
season.
The New York Giants, mean
while, continued their battle for
second place by whipping the
Boston Braves twice, 11-8 and 8-2.
Trailing 3-1 in the opening con
test, they pushed across five tal
lies in the third to lead the rest
of the way.
Back in the American League
the cellar Detroit Tigers blew a
four-run first inning lead in bow
ing to Tommy Byrne and the St.
Louis Browns, 7-4.
The loss gives the Tigers twin
losing streaks of eight, one to
open the season and one to close it.
Former Tiger Dick Kryhoski
won the game with a pinch-hit
double that sent in what proved
to be the winning run.
