Out on a Limb
The Penn State coaches, who engage in picking football win-
ners in their spare time, are sending Al Michaels to the fore in an
effort to cut Daily Collegian Sports Editor Jake Highton's three
game lead.
Highton is leading the race with a .673 all-around percentage,
while the coaches, sport a percentage of .644. Sportswriter Bob
Schoellkopf is four games off the pace with .635, while Assistant
Sports Editor Ted .Soens is eight games behind at .596. The pre

Also in the Nittany favor is
the dominance of the series
State has shown since 1937.
In 13 games since then, the
Lions have only lost once and
tied twice. Overall in the ser
ies, dating from 1922, State
holds a 13-11-5 edge in the
win column.
Although the outcome of the
game is in half-and-half disa
greement among men supposed
to know, the Lions should prob
ably be rated a two touchdown
edge on the basis of a tougher
schedule. However, Syracuse has
an excellent feather in its cap
with a 20-19 win over Holy Cross.
The win over the Crusaders
was accomplished in the last 40
seconds of the game as Syracuse
upset one of the East's top rank
ing independents.
Only Yukica Out
Fully rested with one week's
layoff, since then, Syracuse has
recovered from a rash of early
season injuries and has all of its
early season potential ready to
day with the exception of Avat
us Stone, quarterback and safety
man.
State too will be at top strength
except for regular left end Joe
Yukica, who is still second man
on the club in pass receptions
despite sitting out the last two
games.
The game could well turn into
a passing affair with Syracuse's
Pat Stark, 10th ranking passer
in the nation, expected to take
to the air to get over a Nittany
defense which 'proved plenty
tough on the ground last week.
All-American Candidate
Stark has hit on 59 passes in
109 attempts for six touchdowns
and 657 yards while directing the
Syracuse unbalanced T attack.
Stark is nearing Bernie Custis'
Syracuse season record of 75 set
in 1950.
On the receiving end of Stark's
passes is All-American end can
didate Joe Szombathy and Carl
Karilivacz, a defensive halfback
the last two yeas.
State can counter in the pass
ing game with winged-T quar
terback Tony Rados, who has al
ready hit on 68 out of 128 passes
for a new Penn State career rec
ord.
State's ground offensive, some
what silent since early season,
can be expected to turn loose
with fullback Bob Pollard back
in his oftentimes brilliant form.
On the ground for Syracuse,
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Korean war vet Bill Wetzel at
fullback is the top groundgainer
with 405 yards in 75 attempts.
He is a good man to get the few
necessary yards at crucial mo
ments.
Bob Leberman is the speedy
halfback that Syracuse counts on
for long runs. Leberman has
gained 396 yards in much fewer
tries than Wetzel.
Nittany Coach • Rip Engle will
stick with his same lineup with
the exception of Yukica. Offen
sively. Jess Arnelle and Don Mal
inak will be at the terminals.
Rosey Grier and Gene Denser
hold down the tackle slots, and
Dubs Haldeman and Don Shank
are at the guards.
State's all-East center candi
date, Jim Dooley will be passing
the ball to Rados who will in turn
hand and pitchout to left half
backs Dick Jones and Buddy
Rowell, wingbacks Do n Eyer,
Don Bailey, and Keith Vesling,
and fullbacks Pollard and Matt
Yanosich.
On defense it will be double
duty Malinak and Dave Simon.
At tackle it will be the giants
Stew Scheetz and Grier with Al
Bowden in reserve. In the middle
of the line will be the hard-to
move Don Barney.
•
Filling in the line gaps or back
ing up depending on the defen
sive alignment will be Pete
Schoderbek, Sam Green, and Bob
Smith, all bright performers last
week. Don Balthaser will also
see plenty of backing up duty.
In the secondary, Jack Sherry
will be at safety, and Eyer and
Bill Leonard at th e halfback
slots.

BEAT SYRACUSE!
Between the Lions
What are the chances of State's basketball team this year? Will
they live up to their predecessors who finished the '5l-'52 season
with a 20-4 log and also played in the NCAA tournament? Only time
can answer these questions but maybe a little rundown on what
kind of material Elmer Gross has will help the reader form his own
pre-season opinions.
Most of the information is based on what has been observed
in practice and from last year's playing.
HERIVI SLEDZIK—a senior this year, Herm is captain of the
team and has been playing good ball in the scrimmages. His 6-4
frame is s m all for a boardman
but can be counted on for good
rebounding. Besides the two hand
over the head shot he favored last
year, he has added a few more
jump shots underneath the boards.
He was a consistent starter last
year and his experience will help
a lot
ED HAAG—a 6-2 junior who
played up front last year. A
dependable player but not the
ball handler Williams was, Haag
is a hard fighter. Ed played
basketball his freshman year
at California State Teachers
then came to State last season
where he fitted in nicely with
the fast breaking offensive of
the Lions. As in the case with
Sledzik, Ed played a lot of ball
last year and was one of the
first starting seven.
RONNIE WEIDENHAMMER
the frosh sensation last year
whose fine set shooting and pass
ing really came through in the
close moments. Ron has been sit
ting out the scrimmage sessions
the past week because of a leg
injury which is still stiff. He
stands 6-1 and is a smart player.
His outside set shots will be a
'big asset.
JOE PIORKOWSKI a very
dependable player, Joe, a two
year letterman, will be a steady
ing influence to the team. This
6-3 senior will be available for
only one semester of play. Be
cause of student teaching he has
missed the first week of prac
tice but it shouldn't take him
too long to get back into the
system. From this standpoint,
we'd say his biggest fault is he
doesn't shoot enough.
JESSE ARNELLE—his statis
tics, 6-5 and 215 pounds almost
speak for themselves. He did most
of the scoring last year with a
hookshot from the side and jump
shots underneath. He is the best
rebounder of the team and with
a little more polish on ball hand
ling will probably be one of the
top players in the country.
JACK SHERRY—an aggres
sive ball fighter and although
only 6-3 he's good on rebound
ing. He has a fine one hand
jump shot but has a tendency
for dribbling too much. Has a
lot of experience, which will
prove valuable.
And there are the first six men
who will probably do the majority
of the playing this year. They all
have had at least one year of
~..

Assistant Sports Editor
experience and . all were starters
last year.
Now for the reserves
JIM HlLL—his 6-6 height
could be a very big asset but
he doesn't use it to its best
advantage. If he could leave his
feet and with more fight he and
Jesse, working as a team, could
really go places.
JIM BLOCKER a vast im
provement over last year. Jim has
a wide variety of shots. At 6-3 he's
good at rebounding but from here
we'd say needs more experience.
TED JACKSON—a husky 6-4
junior who played freshman
ball two years ago. Could de
velop into a fine player but
doesn't fight hard underneath
the boards.
ANDY PHILLIPS—a senior this
year, Phillips has a consistent
hook shot. A darkhorse in the
picture, he could prove very valu
able.
JIM BREWER —has been
playing very hard in scrim
mages and especially in defense
where he has been both patrol
ling the outside and also help
ing in the rebounding. Jim. is
about six foot.
JOHN WARD—a newcomer to
State. John sat it out last year
because of ineligibility. He played
freshman ball at Villanova before
he transferred here last year. He
stands 6-3 and has been playing
good ball. Keep your eyes on him,
he'll be a good man to have
around this season.
And that is the 'iummary of
the personnel. Six veterans
with a lot of experience and six
reserves that need some. How
far they'll go remains to be
seen!
Psych Head to Talk
Dr. C. R. Carpenter, professor
and head of the Department of
Psychology, will address the Fac
ulty Luncheon Club at the Hotel
State College at noon Monday.
