SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1952 Lions- ★ ★ Paul Dekker (MSC End) Sports Briefs Case of Fear! NEW YORK <7P) Columbia was- busy fearing Army and Army was busy fearing Columbia at the weekly press - luncheon on the Columbia campus. Paul Governali, a great Colum bia passer of other years, spoke in purple phrases of the Army juggernaut that must be faced today. “On defense they’re a pack of ravenous wolves,” he said. “That Attaya, darkly handsome, is a dy namic back. And that Mischak— flames come out of his nostrils. If Ernest Hemingway were around he would call him a bull as he paws the ground waiting for a punt.” There was more of the same, with a little lessi thumping on the bass keys, when Army’s scout, Bobby Dobbs, reported on the Col umbia team in its loss to Penn. “That quarterback Mitch Price is a great passer,” he said. “He can thread that needle. He runs the ends or up the middle and makes up his mind quick.” “To me Price is invaluable,” he said. “I don’t know of anybody playing college football, I’d rather have. There might be_better ball players someplace. But not for our needs. He is an excellent all around football player. Directs the team well. Does a great job pass ing. Runs. And has a tremendous competitive desire.” , Annual Turkey Shoot Scheduled for Today The Dairy Science Club will sponsor its fifth annual turkey shot at Ip.m. today at the Penn State Trailer Sales, two miles west of State College on Route 322. No optical sights or high pow,- ered rifles will .be .allowed in the shoot. Twelve gauge and .22 caliber rifles and ammunition will be available to contestants. Personal guns and ammunition, however, may be used. BEAT MICHIGAN STATE! THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATS COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA ' -v ; MSC Tilt— Depth Is Standout MSC Team (Continued from nape one) fensive stalwart Don Malinak will get the call with Jim . Gar rity in. ready reserve. In addition to bucking what is generally conceded to be the best offensive machine 'in football' to day, "the Nittanies will be facing a Spartan upper-hand in the ser ies. Not since the first game be tween these two States. in, 1914 have the Lions won, The best they could do was a thriller-diller Nittany Homecoming Day tie, 14-14, in 1948. Last year the Lions surprised the Spartans by leading at half time, 14-13, on >a beautiful 65- vard touchdown punt return by Bob Pollard. But the MSC amaz ing depth won out, 32-21. Depth has been the standout feature of the Spartans since their ascension to gridiron power during the last three years. Just last farnek the Spartans used 61 players to humble Syracuse. Lion Assistant Coach and scout A 1 Michaels says “This may be Coach Biggie Munn’s best team yet.” • Two Fine Passers This is not far from the truth when one realizes the three-team depth in the East Lansing wreck ing crew. In the rout of the Or ange last week, the Spartan “Twelve Horsemen” back fields were described as “brilliant run ning first team, “blinding* speed” second- string, and “pin-point passing” third backfield combin ation. Two fine passers, Tom Yewcic and Willie Thrower, a New Ken sington lad, have three excellent ends as targets in Paul Dekker, Doug Bobo, and- Ellis Duckett. Defensively the Spartans have not allowed more than two touch downs all year, and then often after victory had been sewed up. One of the big reasons for the stiff MSC defense is All-Ameri can backerup candidate, Dick Tamburo, brother of Penn State’s All-American end, Sam. . Average 6V2 per Play Cold but telling statistics also substantiate the Spartan rank ing. In four games the MSC of 'fense has piled up 460 yards for top NCAA ranking in the coun try. The ■ offense is excellently balanced with an average of 272 yards gained rushing—seventh ranking in the nation—and 188 ★ ★ ★ Starting PENN STATE MICHIGAN STATE Don Malinak LE.,...

Despite the fact that some may think the Spartans average a first down per try, it isn’t so. NCCA statistics give MSC an average of 6.5 per, play. Lion chances naturally are con ceded nil against such class, but the 1952 Penn State squad has displayed a fight and a dash which, if aroused today, plus the breaks, could give the Spartans a rough afternoon. The breaks will be all-impor tant. Should the Spartans get an early jump, they are almost im possible to overtake. Both teams have been consistent second-half ball clubs, which adds to the spice of the game. 16 Leave College Sixteen students have with drawn from the College, accord ing to the latest issue of the Fac ulty Bulletin. 1M Golf Participants To Report Today Fraternity and independent students participating in intra mural golf-medal tournament are asked to report before 1 p.m. today and tomorrow at the caddy house.- Competition in the tourna ment will be played before 1 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, Dutch Sykes, assistant .director of intramurals, said. ★ ★- ★ Lineups see; Bill Turnbeaugh, Auburn; Charles Lapradd, Florida; Roger Zatkoff, Michigan; Bill Forester, Southern Methodist.

I Freshman Gridders To Scrimmage Today With just one week remaining until he puts his frosh gridders to their first test, Coach Earl Bruce has scheduled a Blue and White scrimmage game for 10 a.m. today on Beaver Field. , Bruce has divided his squad into two groups and will have his eye on individual performances in an effort to find 'a starting lineup for next week's clash with the Penn frosh. Up until this time, Bruce has made no effort to single out individ uals, giving everyone an oppor tunity to show what he can do. Aside from intrasquad scrim mage and work against the var sity offensive and defensive pla toons. the. Nittany frosh have had no actual organized scrim mage. On the other hand, the Quakers have played two games already, whipping Columbia, 20-6, and tying Princeton, 7-7. So State will be going into the game - with a definite disadvan tage. Collegiate Chatter There were few changes in Southern Conference' football sta tistics last week. Richmond quar terback Bobby Tyler completed nine passes against Miami to take first place in conference passing. Johnny Gramling of South Caro lina, being idle, dropped to second place. Another South Carolinian, Clyde Bennett, lost his lead in pass-receiving because the Gamecocks did not play. Al though he nabbed only one pass against North Carolina, Bob Ondilla of Wake Forest gained the lead with 15 catches. Ed Midouszewski of William and Mary, held by Navy the pre vious week to 33 yards rushing and passing, broke loose against Boston U. for 167 yards to main tain his lead over Richmond’s Taylor.in total offense. The situation remained exact ly the same with North Caro lina retaining the lock on punt ing honors. West Virginia leading all ' offensive depart ments, and Duke leading all defensive categories. Even in trouncing Washington and Lee 31-13 last week, the Mountaineers suffered satistically. They still lead the conference in rushing with 255.5 yards per game, in passing with a 120-yard average, and overall offensively with 375.5 yards per game. W&L is runnerup in rushing and total offense, Richmond second in pass ing. Duke's unbeaten Blue Devils kept first place in rushing de fense with a 112.6 average, pass - defense with a 60.2 yard aver age, and total defense with 172.8 yards allowed per game. North Carolina, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia trail respectively in these positions. North Carolina, after a two week idle period, 47 yards per try to increase its punt ing average lead to 45.2 yards per kick. Washington and Lee's Handy Broyles was held to 23 yards by a determined West Virginia team. He, however, managed to keep comfortably ahead of the field in rushing. Check in at the TONIGHT - 9to 12 - REC HALL INFORMAL 1 $2.40 Per Couple Featuring: Jim Erb and his Penn State Blue Notes The game today, however, should give' Bruce some idea as to what to expect next Saturday. As it stands now, the outlook is good. He has a fine group of players, budding with size, speed, and spirit. The spirit in particu lar. has made the biggest impres sion on the frosh mentor thus far. Blue team coaches, Dick Bes tinak and John Kozar. will have Jim Siehl and Jim Ryan at ends, Walt Wampler and Ray Pottios at tackles, and Frank Reich at center. Lerue Stellfox and Earl Shumaker will hold down the guard positions for the Blues. Walt Hochberg is slated to quar terback the 1 ) sguad, and Frank Della Penna will be at the full back spot. Halfbacks Ray Soffa and John McEachem round out the Blue backfield. Play Navy Next At the terminal slots on Chuck Beatty’s and Ed Glickey’s White team will be Walt Cook and George Supplee. Dwayne Martin and Bill Rinkin will be at tack les, and Dick Bobo and George Obradovich will be at guard slots: Ed Kleist will take care of the center duties. Bob Hoffinan is expected to quarterback the White squad, with Chuck Block son at fullback and Lenny Moore and Bill Straub at the halfbacks. The Penn contest is scheduled at 10 a.m. Nov. 1.
