Out on a Limb The Penn State football coaches, who still trail Daily Col legian Sports Editor Jake Highton by two games with 57 wins and 32 losses, will be represented by their ace pipe -dreamer, head c)rid Coach Rip Engle, this week in the football prediction race. Highton has an all-around percentage of .663 compared to the coaches' .640, Sportswriter Bob Schoellkopf's .618 ind Assistant Sports Editor Ted Soens' .607.

PENNSYLVANIA To Oppose Quakers Wash. Wash. Favored in First Since '4B Season Penn Clash Regarded as mere "country, cousins" by many Philadel phians, Penn State's grid team will attempt to show the Quaker City and Penn University what underdog Nittany teams have shown - in the last five games of the series the Lions know how to play- football. But it will take a lot of showing, beginning at 1:30 pan tomorrow on • Franklin Field, for once - beat eh once-tied Penn State to get past the twice-tied, but very 'much undefeated Red and Blue. With 70,000 or more expected in the stands, Pe,nn will be fight ing to. cement its hold on East ern supremacy gained with-a 13-7 victory over Princeton earlier in the season. Another Quaker in centive is to blast the jinx which has seen Penn unable to beat the Nittanies since George Mun ger has been- coaching the Phila delphians. The Quakers hold twice as many victories in the series, which dates ick to 1890, ith 24 wins :ainst 12 de ,ts and• four Ls. However, fi'e games tee 1936 the .st Penn uld salvage Is a 7-7 tie . 1938. To date this ason the .akers have en hot and butld al _tys good George Munger enough to stay unbeaten. They tied strong Notre Dame, 7-7, eeked past Aveak Dartmouth, 7-0, and then rose highest to trip Princeton. Still high the follow ing week, Penn downed Colum bia, 27-13, but was off again last week in a 7-7 tie with underdog Navy. The Lions too have been up and , down. Their best, en route to a current 4-1-1 log, was. a 20-20 early season tie with Big Ten leader Purdue. Their 'worst was an expected drubbing from the nation's kingpin, Michigan State, last week. Lion Coach Rip Engle sees the game as one which "could go ei ther way" despite the fact that Penn is favored by seven to 13 points. Engle emphasized that "Penn is supposed to be the best in the East, and you don't beat teams like that without giving an all out effort." In an attempt to get some of the ground punch into the lineup which has been missing the last two weeks, Engle will start Bob Pollard at fullback. Otherwise, State's winged-T operatives will line up the same as last week. Only end Joe Yukica is physically unable 'to play tomorrow. The game shapes up as a low scoring defensive battle unless both teams' potent aerial attacks Lion Frosh Will Test Penn's Winning Streak An inexperienced but spirited Penn State freshman team takes on a highly rated Pennsylvania frosh eleven tomorrow, Marking the opening of the first freshman grid campaign for Perin State in two years. The contest is slated to begin at 10 a.m. on River Field. The field is located south of Franklin Field along the Schuykill The game marks the end of five weeks of preparation by Coach Earl Bruce's gridders. The season will be shortlived, however, since the frosh have only two games scheduled. They will meet the Navy plebes next Saturday at An napolis. • 'The frosh will be going into the game at a definite disadvantage. They will meet a Quaker crew . which already has played three games, boasting a. 2-0-1 record. Bruce's squad has one factor in B? JAKE HIGHTON can blow - the game wide open. Normally a strong ground pow er, from the single-wing, Penn has come up with its strongest aerial attack since the departure of Reds , Bagnell two years ago. The wily Munger has developed two fi n e passing tailbacks in Bones Adams. and Walt Hynoski. Thanks to the strong arms of these two pitchers, Penn ranked sixth in the nation in• passing offense up to the Navy • game. This new Penn stress on passing is quite contrary to former years' teams which grounded lots of yards from the single-wing power and buck-lateral plays. State can counter with its own aerial cir c us with tentmaster Tony Rados on the throwing end. Rados currently is sixth in the nation in total passing offense with 62 pass completions in 114 attempts for a 54.4 percentage. On the receiving end of the Rados tosses are ends Don 'Mali nak and Jess Arnelle an d halfback Dick Jones. Arnelle has caught 21 passes goo d for 187 yards,' and last week Malinak grab bed three in his first game as an offen sive perform er. Ma 1 inak will double at d e fensive end where he played out- Rip Engle standingly last week. Jonesy has caught seven for 168 yards. On the ground State has re lied on pony backs Matt Yano sich, Buddy Rowell, Jonesy and hard-driving fullback Pollard. Penn's biggest offensive threats are two bruising fullbacks Joe Varaitis and Don Zimtneh On reverse sweeps, wingback Billy ' Deuber—brother of former star Bobby—can be a long gainer. _Defensively, Penn is tough. Only Columbia has scored more' than one touchdown as the Quak ers have yielded an, average of only one TD per game. Largely responsible for the tight defense is All-American end candidate Ed Bell„ who plays almost 6.0 minutes going both 'ways. , On the other hand, State's de fense has showed flashes of ex treme miserliness with yardage but also has often been leaky, al lowing an average of three touch downs a game. - its favor, however, since it has been toughening up on Rip Erigle's Varsity crew for the past few weeks. Up until yesterday Bruce had no definite starting lineup picked. Red-hot battles have been de veloping at all positions, since practice began, and he is expected to use a maximum of substitutions tomorrow. The Lion offensive line is ex pected to average about 190 pounds with• the backfield going about 177. At the ends Bruce will have Jim Ryan and Frank Reich. Reich has been working at center all year, but he has switched to the terminal slot the last few weeks. Walt Wampler and Ra y Patios will . handle the tackle chores, siding with guards Bob Pegues and Lerue Stellfox. Ed Kleist will round out the line at the center spot. In the backfield Bruce will have FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1952 * * . - ' Joe,Varaitis Penn Plunger Harriers To Meet NY Violets Penn State's cross-country run ners will attempt to add NYU to their vanquished list when they race against the Violets tomorrow in New York City. Upset by Michigan State last week, Coach Chick Werner's team should regain some of its winning luster when the final tallying of points rolls around. For the past two weekends the Nittany distance men have com peted against two of the top hill and-dale clubs in the nation, Army and Michigan State. Tomorrow, however, - it will be a different story. According to pre-meet reports, the Violets are at a low ebb so far as veteran dis tance talent is concerned. Their showing last week tends to prove this statement. • St. Johns handed the Violets a 15-50 setback. The winners com pletely dominated the dual meet as they placed eight men across the line before the first Violet popped up. Before that they beat Adelphi and Kings Point. Led by sophomore Lamo n t Smith and junior Red Hollen, the Lions have beaten Cynell. and Army and lost to MSC. This factor alond established the 'Blue and White as pre-meet favorites. Coach Chick Werner will select his , starters from the following: Smith, Hollen, Captain Jack Hor ners Stan Lindner, Jim 'Hamill, John Chillrud, Ji m Cressman, Skip Slocum, Bob Roessler, Bob Gehman, Lon Austin; and Al Ter rill. BEAT PENN! Bob Hoffman at the signal calling berth. Lenny Moore, and either Frank Della Penna or John Mc- Eachern, will be at the halfback posts, with Chuck 'Blockson hand ling the _fullback duties. Bruce did not have much to say about the ball game yesterday except that he figures Penn to be "plenty tough." It's easy to ",see why the frosh mentor is making no predictions. "He is putting an untried squad on the playing field tomorrow against an experienced, highly tauted Contingent. - And, although there are no first hand r e p or t s available on the Quakers, they can be expected to show a lot of class. The Lions are expected to make a good showing, though, by the standards of what they have shown thus far in Beaver Field scrimmages. They sport a big but fast forward wall on both offense and defense., •
