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

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

Standout

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

yards in passing—eighth in the
nation.
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.

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.

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.

Beatty’s and Ed Glickey’s White
