Passing Biggest Asset
Of Unbeaten Quakers
When you try to figure out why Pennsylvania’s football team is still unbeaten as
it goes into the Penn State game Saturday, the obvious answer would be defense. But
to Nittany Assistant Coach Sever Toretti, passing has been the biggest factor in the
Quakers’ success.

what Michigan State passing did
to the Lions. Backing up Tor
are statistics which show that
Adams has hit on 28 of 55 passes
for 439 yards and two touch
downs. Hynoski has been good
with 12 throws in 42 attempts for
467 yards and four TD’s. .
On the receiving end of the'
Quaker passing are two favo
rites, end Ed Bell and wingback
Bobby Deuber. Bell, an All-
American candidate, has caught
12 passes good for 257 yards and
two touchdowns. Deuber has
nabbed 15 for 380 yards and two
TD’s.

ki pass to these receivers on the
run if they don’t decide to run.
Tor says they haven’t done much
running so far but have the po
tential to be a threat on the
ground.
Although nearly 80 per cent a
single-wing team, the Quakers
will occasionally use the T with
Ed Binkowski under center. Bin
kowski quarterbacked Penn’s un
beaten frosh team in 1950 which
used the T.
Tor calls the second offensive
strength of the Quakers the full
back spot. Here both Joe Varaitis
and Don Zimmer have been con
sistent ground gainers. Operat
ing out of a buck-lateral series,
both big lads have been respon
sible for nearly 500 yards on the
ground in five games.
Defensively, the Quakers have
allowed an average of only one
touchdown a game, and the rea
son can be seen by the fact that
Tor cannot “single out one per
former without doing an injus
tice to the others.” Three of the
standouts have been Bell, a

A strong second half Corps
team made 12 baskets in the last
period to win 34 to 15 over East
25. The first half had been a
nip-and-tuck af f a ir ending at
7-10 at the half way mark. The
Corps held their opponents to
only eight points in the last half.
The high scoring honors of the
evening went to Robert Morri

spearheaded his team to a 44-17
victory over Dorm 8.
Using their big 6’5” Pete Lang
as the pivot man, • the West 25
squad downed a -hapless Rovers

In a game somewhat on the
order of the Penn State-Pitt con
test last year, the Cadets battled
a stubborn McElwain five to a
13-12 win.
Only a one point spread sepa-

guard Chuck Assiff, a powerful

Booters Must Polish
Offense for Cadets
If the Lion soccer team is to have any kipd of success against
the Cadets of West Point in its crucial tilt Saturday on the Beaver
Field baseball diamond, it will'have, to' sharpen its scoring punch.
This observation was made by Nittany Soccer-Coach Bill Jeffrey
after the Lion booters’ 2-0 victory over a mediocre Colgate soccer
squad last Saturday, in which the State offense could not capitalize

‘ Both defending champions of
the fraternity and independent'
leagues, Alpha Tau Omega and
the Fireballs, advanced into the
semi-f ina 1 s in the intramural
touch-football tournaments last
night when they registered their
fourth victories of the season.
The Fireballs, the only threat to
Beaver House’s chance for the
independent title, exploded ’for
two touchdowns, in the final half
to down the Blue Streaks, 19-0.
The defending champs were able
to make their only extra point af
ter the third TD.
Alpha Tau Omega squeezed
through an overtime period in its
last skirmish, combined a passing
attack and an aggressive defens
ive unit to eliminate Delta Tau

scored once in each half.

on several scoring opportunities.
“Our offensive attack could go
only so far, and then sputter out,”
Jeffrey said. This was not only the
case in last week’s.. Red Raider
match, but also was evident. in
the Lions’ loss to Navy, where
they missed numerous scoring
chances and could manufacture
only two goals. -
Jeffrey, however, has no qualms
about the ’ impenetrable Nittany
defense, which has given up only
four goals—an average of one per
game. ,
The State defense should cause
the Cadets plenty of trouble, as
it has had only one bad showing
to date—the Navy tilt when the
Middies scored three goals. To
date the Nittany booters have ac
counted for ..two whitewash -jobs,
one against Maryland and the
other at the expense of Colgate
last week. .
Jeffrey hopes to be able to field
his entire team strength Saturday
against the Cadets. Hubie Kline,
however, who is still limping from
a bad" leg injury incurred, the sec
ond week of the season in a team
scrimmage, may not be to
play. Kline saw a few minutes’
action last Saturday against the
Raiders, but was removed from
the game because of his bad limp.
Same Starting Lineup
Hap Irvin, who sustained an
infected heel in the Colgate game,
will probably be fit for action
against the Cadets Saturday morn
ing.
Jeffrey intends to stick with his
usual eleven men who have won
three matches and lost only one.
The brunt of the Lion attack will
be carried by center forward Jack
Pinezich, outside right Bill Nor
cik, and outside left Lynn Tho
mann.
Pinezich, who will be seeking
•his twelfth goal of the season in
the Cadet clash, has averaged 2.8
goals per game. He has been held
scoreless only by Navy.
