Jack Goshorn’s passing and nifty-pass-snatching by Ed Haag of Beaver House were too much for the Jordanites. Goshorn faded back to his 25-yard line and heaved a beautiful pass to Gerry Hoyer who had little trouble scor ing Beaver House’s initial touch down.

The Lion cubs play the Navy plebes November 8. Nittany looters Confident of Victory Sat Against Colgate's'led Haiders Although a stunning defeat at the hands of the underdog Middies last Saturday set them on their heels, the Nit tany Lion hooters are confi dent of victory in their tussel with Colgate Saturday. The contest will be the fourth in a row at home for the Jeffrey men, who will be seeking their third win of the campaign against one setback. Starting time for the match with the Red Raiders is 2 p.m. on the baseball field. Lions Enthusiastic The entire company of Nittany hooters was downcast after the Navy upset and felt that they de served a better fate than the eventual outcome. However, as Coach Bill Jeffrey said, “It was lust a bad game, and there’s nothing you can do about it now.” Thus, with the Middie game gone by the boards, the Nittanies are pointmg toward the Colgate tussel with new enthusiasm. The 1952 edition of the Colgate booter Spartan Gridders 'Are Good' But Can Be Beaten Michaels Discussing Michigan State’s football team yesterday, Nittany assistant Coach A 1 Mich aels seemed to be guilty of the understatement of the year. “Mike,” who scouted the Spartans in preparation for Saturday’s game, simply said the nation’s number one team “is good.” However, it soon became evident that Mike was saying what few people believe —Michigan State can be beaten. To illustrate his point, Mike recalled the game several years ago when a favored Penn State eleven went to Cornell and returned on the embarrasing end of a 47-0 count. Coach Michaels (Scouted S.partans) Colorado's Jordon Averages 45Vz Yds. To Lead Punters NEW YORK (JP) —Zack Jordan, Colo rado University’s triple threat star who set a collegiate punting record two seasons ago as a sophomore, once again is punting his best foot forward. Jordan, out most of last sea son with a foot injury, has taken over the lead among the nation’s college kickers with an average of 45.5 yards per boot. That’s somewhat below his 48,2 standard of 1950, but statistics released yes terday by the NCAA’s Service Bureau show his average is on the upswing. The son of an old Dartmouth star of the 20’s, John Jordan, Zack kicked for a 47.2 average last Saturday against lowa State. If he wins the punting title a second time, he’ll be the first to do so since Owen Price of Texas Western in 1940 and 1941. While Jordan has been kicking the ball further than anybody else, Joe McClaran of Drake has been catching it more often than anybody, and with happier re sults for his team. He leads the nation in pass receiving with 30 catches and in yards gained on passes with 454. His 20th Year This is Charles (Chick) Werner’s 20th season at the helm of Penn State cross-country. He was a member of the Olympic staff this summer. tfeam is one of mediocricy,' de spite the return of eig’ - senior lettermen from last shear’s team, which compiled a 3-4 log. Along with these veterans, there are also seyeral sophomores Who gained some collegiate ex perience when they were allowed to compete on the varsity last year. 1 Strong Raider Defense Colgate soccer Coach Mark Ran dall, who should know a little about the booter sport having been an All-American soccer choice at Springfield College, is hopeful of bettering his .429 per centage of last year. Aside from his soccer coaching duties at Col gate. Randall also finds time to coach the Red Raider varsity swimming squad. Randall, who is in his. second season at the Hamilton, N.Y. school, says that his main strength was in the Raider defense, but that the offensive attack needed a lot of polish. In' their last match, the Red THE DATT/Y COLLECT AN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA 1 r The pigskin took two crazy bounces and the game was a rout before it was three minutes old. Cornell kicked to State. On the tackle, a fumble popped into Big Red hands in mid-air with one touchdown the result. On the en suing kickoff, identical lightning struck again as a Nittany fumble was recovered in flight and again a touchdown was scored, leaving State stunned, 14-0, and. unable to recover. ; Defensive Unit Intact Mike is frank to admit that State will need the breaks to win and adds that if the Lions take advantage of such breaks they can win. As to the Spartan team, Mike says its defensive unit is the same as last year with the exception of two men. This, experienced, tough defense is borne out in the facts which show MSC has not yielded more than tw o j touch downs in one game all season. . Offensively, the. Lion scout says the Spartans' are stronger than last year’s unbeaten team because of better replacements. This was evident in the Spartan rout of Syracuse last week. Three different backfields took a prom-, inent hand in crushing Syracuse, 48-7. Diversified Attack Although the offensive line is largely made up of new men this year, Mike claims they get better .and better every game. (So it seems'to go with the entire team.) Diversity is the word on the Spartan attack. They attack with three basic formations with all kinds of variations. MSC uses a straight-T or Winged-T, with unbalanced line, to come out of the huddle. Then the team will either run or shift into singlewing or doublewing back formation. Nation's Tops Offensively Both of the older wing forma tions are used with the babies either deep or close. Still another variety “spice” in the MSC attack is numerous flanker formations. • Largely responsible for the Spartans ranking as the top of fensive team 'in football they have averaged 460 yards per game—is the dazzling backfield performers led by Don McAuliffe, Billy Wells, and Tom Yewcic. In singling out these three— Mike overlooked many—the Libn scout was especially high on Yew cic. Mike says if Yewcic isn’t as good as last year’s star quarter back A 1 Dorow, he is mighty close for it being only Yewcic’s first year. Wells, Mike calls a “great run ner, probably one of the best in the country.” He runs hard and is awfully shifty. In addition he is a fine left-handed passer. Raider booters could manage only a 2-2 tie with Hamilton College Saturday at Clinton, N.Y. In the contest waged between the Lions, and Colgate last year, the Lions collected two fourth period goals to defeat the Raid ers, 3-1; at the Colgate' booter ground. Don Shirk fired both ■shots into the net to win the game for the Jeffreymen. ' Lions in Good Shape Jeffrey announced yesterday that outside left Hubie Kline’s injured leg had not healed prop erly yet, and he intended resting him for a while rather than risk further injury. Otheriwise, the entire Nittany boter squad is in fine physical shape for the clash with the Raid ers Saturday. The congenial Scot Jeffrey felt that no lineup chan ges were .necessary aft.er the Mid die tilt and plans to use the same lineup, except for Kline, that rolled to smashing 10-1 and 11-0 victories to open the 1952 soccer season. ★ ★ Tom Ye (Spartan Qm Collegiate Chatter Michigan State set a new team record for total first downs against Texas A and M in their 1952 meet ing, exceeding by three the old mark of 27 set against Pitt in 1951. - f Willie Thrower, Who lives up i'o his name ip the role‘of Spar lan passing slar, completed sev en out of nine passes in the Texas A and M game.

Lion Passing Team . Penn- State’s current passing team—Tony Rados to Jesse Ar nelle— appears destined to set new Lion standards in this de partment. Bill Smaltz-to-Lenny Krouse was State’s last great passing combination in the early ’4os. A volcano usually erupts steam, not “smoke”, as is commonly be ilieved.
