SOCCERMAN FRANK FOLLMER, halfback, races over to assist
his teammates as the Lion soccer team prepares for their opening
game against Bucknell on Saturday. The Lions are heavily favored
to repeat last year's victory over the Bisons.
Boater Jack Pinezich . . .
Began Career Early
It is said in some circles that champions begin their practical
experience in a sport at an early age. This is certainly true in the
case of one of Penn State's star soccermen, Jack Pinezich.
Jack attributes the success of his educated toe to continual
practice in the fundamentals of the game, for it was at the age of 11
years that he began his experiences in soccer. His apprenticeship
in learning the game was similar
to that of a minor league baseball
player working his way up a
complicated farm system to the
major leagues.
Another influencing factor to
Jack's interest in the booter sport
was his father, who, after taking
a keen liking to the game while
still living in Yugoslavia, en
zouraged his son to take up the
game at an early age.
'Big Time'
The Brooklyn-born youth be
gan his climb upward by partici
pating two years in juvenile soc
cer, then three years in junior
soccer, and 2 more years in sen
ior soccer. Each of his three years
of junior soccer resulted in a
championship team.
Jack graduated to "big time"
soccer in New York when he
latched on to a soccer team spon
sored by the Eintracht Sp or t
Club, which won the New York
State Soccer Cup in 1950 an d
1951. Advancement to the Ein
tracht team was quite an achieve-,
ment for him since he was one
of the few youngsters on a squad
of experienced veterans.
It was here, also, that Jack
learned his ABC's in soccer.' Un
der the fine tutelege of a former
English soccer player, Bernard
Ramsden, who coached the Ein
tracht booter team, Jack learned,)
the inside of the game.
Played In Iran
During his tenure in Brooklyn
Technical High School, Pinezich
was a letterman in soccer for four
years and captained the booter
squad in his senior year,
Jack's fine work and brilliance
of play did not go unnoticed, for
no sooner had he enrolled at Penn
State than he was asked to ac
company the Nittany Lion soc
cer team on its trip to Iran. The
sturdy booter considers it one of
his biggest thrills.
And speaking of thrills, Jack
relates his greatest experience in
connection with soccer as being
selected on the New York Ama
teur All-Star team in 1950. That
year the New York All-Stars de
feated New Jersey's Amateur All-
Star soccer team, 5-3, and, need
less
to say, Pinezich booted a goal
to help his side win.
In his first season of soccer at
State, Jack had the misfortune of
tearing a back muscle which side
lined him for most of the sched
ule. He recovered quickly, how
ever, a - Id re!urnr2d in time to par

games. In one of these matches
he accounted for four goals, and
finished last year with a- total of
six goals to his credit.
Thus, with the ushering in of
the 1952 Lion soccer season Satur
day, Coach Bill. Jeffrey will be
pinning his hopes on the trusty
toe of one Jack Pinezich, on whose
actions may rest the success of
the coming soccer campaign.

Lions Play
Bisons Here
Satur
Penn State's magnificently
equipped soccer team is tight
ening its belt to prepare for
Saturday's meet with Buck
nell, a team the Lions have
had no trouble in beating for
the past eight years.
The best the Bucknellians could
do was a tie in 1943, when sports
were at a, low ebb. State shutout
the Bisons here last year, 5-0,
and give every indication that
they will repeat the performance.
Last ye s ar, it was former All-
American Ron Coleman who
murdered the Bisons, scoring a
trio of goals and keeping Buck
nell off balance with his tricky
ball handling and passing.
Kocher, Shirk to Start
Coleman was graduated last
year, but Ellis Kocher, Don Shirk,
Bill Norcik, Jack Pinezich, Hu
bie Kline, and Lynn Thomann
more than make up for Coleman's
departure.
Kocher and Shirk will handle
the inside positions, baseballman
Kline or Thomann the wings, and
the man who wrenched his back
against Bucknell last year. Jack
Pinezich, the center forward slot.
Halfback positions will see the
breaking up, for some time at
least, of the. Northeast (Phila.),
high school trio of Frank • Foil
mer, Kurt Klaus, this year's act
ing captain, and Jack Charlton.
Dierks Injured
Missing from the threesome
will be Charlton; who will be re
placed by blond Ralph Hofmann.
Coach Bill Jeffrey had words of
praise for Hofmann after the ex
hibition tilt here' with the Samp
son Air Base. won by State, 3-1.
Hap Irvin (left fullback) and
Paul Dierks or Emil Borra (right
fullback) will start, Dierks has
been bothered with a chipped an
kle lately but will see some ac
tion.
Irvin was a converted lineman
and in the words of one of the
players, "has been playing beau
tiful ball." Irvin and Dierks and/
or Borra should have little trou
ble with Bucknell.
Frosh Whips Vare_ty
Bob (Red) Harris will probably
start at the goal tending slot with
Jack (Dewey) Krumrine, a local
lad, in reserve.
Although the Lions probably
won't have too much difficulty
with the Bucknell Bisons, it is in
teresting to note that their fresh
men, with the exceptions of
Dierks and Irvin at fullbacks and
Harris at goal, crumbled the var
sity 10-3. Fred Bright, Mert
Springer, Dick Packer, and Dave
Haase paved the way for the mas
sacre.
This quartet will help make up
the Penn State freshman line
when ••State battles Milheim in its
second county league match at
3 p.m. Saturday.
The young Lions overcame
Boalsburg, 5-3. in their first match
last week.
Anders with Marines
Penn State's 1951 fullback, Paul
Anders 'of Monongahela, now is
playing the same position for the
Parris Island Marines. The Ma
rines play at Indiantown Gap
October 11.
3 Independents Win
In IM Football Race
The fraternities took a back seat last night in IM touch football
race as three independent teams posted first-round wins, while
one fraternity crew moved into the second round brackets.
Dorm 25, the Zippers, and the Hep Cats all posted shutout
wins in the independent half of the tourney, while Triangle' won in
the fraternity standing.
A cunning Dorm 25 nine, showing no signs' of traditional first
game jitters, got more breaks than
it knew what to do with, and
handed the • Penn State Club a
solid 20-0 setback.
13-0 At Half
Paul Popovich started Dorm 25
on its merry way to the second
round; by grabbing off a Penn
State Club pass early in the period
on the 33 and going all the way
untouched for the first of three
scores. The extra-point attempt
was no good.
Popovich again figured in the
Dorm 25 scoring, this time on the
paying end of a 38-yard punt
return started by George 'Man
gigan. The extra-point, from Tom,
Yingling to Popovich, made it,
13-0 at the half.
A 33-yard, four-man scoring
combo wrapped up Dorm 25's
scoring. Yingling to Pete Lang
to Lawrence then back to Lang
and then to Gene Pappart par
layed for the third TD. Yingling
threw to Lawrence for the 20th
point.
Overtime Play
The Zippers and Dorm 34; both
suffering from severe cases of,
opening game confusion, tried td
out-mistake one another in their
first-round game. The Zippers
made fewer miscues and won, 1-0,
in overtime.
On the second play of the over
time series, '(designed especially
for IM games), Ben Zuckerman
threw out of the "Zipper T," good
for 12 yards to Swede Larsen
down to the Dorm 34 38-yard line.
The number-four overtime play
found Zuckerman again throw
ing from the T, this one good for
8 yards to lefty Bill Kuhn to the
30. Dorm 34 couldn't move on its
final play. Kuhn ran out the sixth
and final, play on the ground for
the Zipper win.
The Hep Cats, although always
threatening, just scored what they
needed to• win over the Eight
Balls in the third independent
game. The score was 7-0. Hep Cat
BASEI:- . LL PARADE
For the second time in three years, a relief pitcher will be on the
mound in a World Series opener as Brooklyn's Joe Black faces Allie
Reynolds of the Yankees at Ebbets Field today.
The game, which gets under way at 1 p.m., is the beginning of a
set in which the Yankees could become the second team to win
four consecutive World Series.
The other winners, the Joe Mc-
Carthy crew from 1936 to - 1939,
also wore Yankee flannels.
The Yankees are favored by
the • betting circles on the basis
of their pitching. Joe Black,:how
ever, who has a lower ERA than
anyone else on either staff, should
be no easy mark for Bomber
st:ckmen today.
Allie Reynolds, who sports a
20-9 mark, will have to contend
with the roughest lineup in the
National League. The Dodgers
led the league in such offensive
departments as runs 'batted in.
runs scored; borne runs, and
stolen bases.
The Yanks led their league in
batting average and were sec
ond to the Cleveland Indians in
RBl's.
Behind the plate both teams
have the best in their respective
leagues. Brooks'' Roy Campanella

WEDNESDAY,' OCTOBER 1, 1952
By GEORGE BAIREY
Jim Tate set up the lone tally late
in the first half by intercepting an
enemy pass on his 33-yard line.
Four plays and one first down
later, little Al Lenz picked out
Dick Carrick in the end zone for
the score, Lenz added the seventh
point with a shot to Don . Swiet
zer. That was all the scoring.
Midway in the final half, Lenz
took to the air successfully with
a series of tosses that carried to
the Eight Ball 4-yard line. Again
the Eight Ball defenses tightened
as Ken Cook plucked an errant
Lenz-passes to stop the. threat.
The Eight Balls 'moved to the 25
in two plays before Hep Cat Wil
son Myers intercepted and car
ried to the Eight Ball 22 to ice
the 'win for the Her; Cats.
The kine fraternity co nte s t
found Triangle ousting Phi Kappa
7-0 on a sparkling 70 yard over
time scoring interception by Rod
Beck and Don Brainerd.
The regulation halves were
scoreless as the game turned into
a tight, defensive punting duel
between Triangle's Paul Brobst
and Phi Kappa's George Gothier.
Triangle drove to the Phi Kap
15 late in the initial half when
Jack Rentchler picked out a Phi
Kappa pass. Time ran out after
three plays failed to materialize.
Phi Kappa's Don Schlegal stop
ped a Triangle drive early in , the
second half by intercepting on his
15.
Phi Kappa's Ritchler personal
ly took charge of the loser's de
fense in the second half by snar
ing a pair of enemy passes to
maintain the scoreless deadlock.
Then came the overtime and the
Triangle touchdown for its first
round victory.

the former getting the nod in'
fielding.
At first it's Gil' Hodges getting
the edge on Joe Collins of the
Bombers. Both long ball hitters,
Hodges is the better gloveman.
There's no - contest at second
base with Brooklyn's old pro
Jackie Robinson beating out
rookie Billy Martin. Martin can
Cover more ground. but Robbie
can make the double play bet
ter, has more experience, and is
a much better hitter. Let Jack
get on base and pitchers begin
to worry.
There's a tossup at short be
tween two other old pros, Pee
Wee Reese and Yankee Phil Riz
zuto. We'll take Pee. Wee on the
basis of his fielding.
Brooklyn's Billy Cox gets the
vote over , Gil McDougald at third,
both in hitting and fielding.

Snider, Shuba, and Furillo seems
to balance the Yanks' Woodling,
