Fireballs'
Hustle Wins
By SAM PROCOPIO
The Fireballs, defending champ
ions, had to show some fine hust
ling in the overtime period to
defeat the Hep Cats, 1-0, in intra
mural touch-football last night.
In other intramural play, Sigma
Chi edged Kappa Sigma in over
time, Beaver House downed the
Jordanites, 13-0, and Sigma Nu
beat Sigma Phi Sigma, 20-0.
The Fireballs and Hep Cats
played a defensive game, creating
an exchange of punts in the first
and second halves.
Gerry Hoyer Tallies
Laska’s run around right end
L'or fifteen yards and two com
pletions over the middle by Dick
Sutter gave the defending champ
ions their, 1-0, win in the over
time period.
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. Goshorn’s forward to bas
ketballer Haag was good for the
extra point.
Later in the first half, Goshorn
again faded back around the 25-
yard line to complete a TD pass
to Bob Swab. Goshorn’s pass for
the extra point was broken up.
Sam Lemon Scores
Sigma Nu’s explosive passing
attack piled up the highest score
of the evening when Mike Kirsch
ner had two passes completed for
two TD’s and Stan Engle for the
other. Kirschner’s eight-yard for
ward early in the first half put
Sigma Nu ahead, 6-0. A 37-yard
pass from Stan Engle to Bill
Camp tallied the second
er/Whitey Miller hit Sam Lemon
in the end zone for the extra
point.
In the final half Kirschner en
gineered a pass to Bill Camp who
passed to Lemon for Sigma Nu’s
final TD. The latter play covered
TO yards.
Sigma Chi went into an over
time to win from Kappa Sigma.
Frank Rich completed a 20-yard
pass to Art Cilsick in Kappa Sig
ma’s territory for the victory.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
