Quakers Are Booters'
Last. Stumbling Block
"I didn't even know which foot to use as I was approaching the ball," said Jack
Pinezich, star center 'forward of the Penn State soccer team, yesterday, about his famous
"kick heard around the world" which won Saturday's game with Temple, 1-0.
The stocky Brooklyn product finally wound up kissing the ball solidly with his
right instep to register the lone goal of the game.

Frosh Continue Daily
Jilts Against Varsity
Although their two game schedule is completed, Coach
" 3 Earl Bruce's freshman gridders continue to take their nightly
workout at Beaver Field.
The frosh have gone back to the task of making things
tough for Rip Engle's varsity crew in daily scrimmage,
a job they have filled all season.
The Lions wound up their ab
breviated campaign two weeks
ago with a loss to the Navy
plebes, following an impressive
0 victory over the Penn freshmen.
The Brucemen whipped Penn,
25-6, exh i b i ting a devestating
winged-T offense, and although
if they did lose to the Plebes, 21-13,
the score of the game was inci
dental compared to the type of
ball the yearlings played in that
contest. Their offense was equal
in that game to the one displayed
in the Penn match, and, had it
not been for a host of penalties,
i the Lions could well have won it.
First Class Material?
By the looks of the performan
ces of many of these green clad
gridders, Penn State's future grid-
iron fortune looks pretty rosy.
Under the guidance of the cap
, able Bruce and his four "volun
teer" assistants. Chuck Beatty, Ed
Gilkey, Dick Bestinik, and John
Kavaca: stellar material has been
developed to a point where it
looks like first class varsity ma-
terial
With backs like Lenny Moore,
} Chuck Blockson, and Bob Hoff
man under wing. Engle should be
looking to the future with great
expectations.
it Moore seems to be the solution
to any future' worries about an
effective ground attack. The
speedy halfback is a• dazzling,
twisting-type, break away run
ner—the kind who is always a
threat to spring into the clear
from out of nowhere for a long
Air touchdown jaunt.
Big Fullback •
lie demonstrated this against
Penn when he sprinted 72 yards
It' on a punt return for one of his
three touchdowns
Blockson , is a smashing, yet
swift-moving:fullback who hits
rx the line like a tank. The big •,•190
Pounder scored two TD's in the
two games the frosh played.
Quarterback Bob Hof fm an
picked up a few eyebrows in the
two ball games he engineered.
The smooth aerialist tossed three
touchdown passes and set up two
TD's with passes. He's a slick ball
handler and calls his plays well.
On the line, the situation looks
a., pretty good. End Frank Reich ex
hibited a brand of play against
Lion foes that just can't be ig
nored. On defense he was like a
Iftihuman cyclone, smashing Nayy
and Penn plays almost before
they eould.get under wayfr,

BEAT PENN BOOTERS

YOUR FRIENDLY BREYER . DEALER HAS THESE DELICIOUS THANKSGIVING TREATS READY FOR YOU NOW
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE; PENNSYLVANIA
The rest is history. The Nittany
booters waltzed off the Temple
field with visions of "eating from
a Soccer Bowl" New Year's Day.
Only one stumbling block—also
to be found in Philadelphia—con
fronts the Lion booters in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, whom
the Jeffreymen face this Satur
day.
Quaker has 5-2-1 Log
Army, who has made a habit
of beating Lion soccer opponents,
came through a gain over the
weekend by tripping the Quakers,
3-2, at Philadelphia. Penn. has had
extremely rough going the past
three weeks, absorbing its two de
feats during this span and barely
managing to squeeze past Haver
ford, 3-2, two weeks ago.
The Quakers will enter next
week's contest with the Lions
sporting a 5-2-1 record. The Jet . -
freymen boast a 6-1-1 log for the
season.
The Nittany scoring parade will
be entering its final week of com
petition Saturday,. and there may
very well be a record in the mak
ing. Pinezich, who now has 20
pointers, needs only one more
goal to. tie Bill McEwan's seasonal
scoring record set in 1935.
Pinezich, averaging 2.5 goals
per tilt, has been blanked only
once this year—the Navy game,
which the Lions lost, 3-2. Speedy
Bill Norcik, who has failed to reg
ister a digit in the last five games,
still is runner-up with six tallies.
Ayerages 4.8 Goals
Sophomore Lynn Thomann has
five goals to his credit for third
position, while Ellis Kocher, with
four goals, is fourth man on the
totem pole. Don Shirk, Captain
Kurt Klaus, and Joe Mijares'round
out the scoring with a single goal
apiece.
Th e volcanic Nittany attack,
which has ,erupted for 38 goals
this season, is averaging a healthy
4.8 pointers per game. Pinezich
has accounted for 52 percent of
the State scoring this year.
On defense. Bill Jeffrey's char
ges have been nothing short of
Tensational. In addition to admin
istering f our shutouts in eight
games, the Nittany defense has
allowed only .8 goals per game
to the opposition.
The defensive combine of Klaus,
Frank Follmer, and Jack Charlton
at the halfbacks has been bril
liant. Charlton, a recent addition
to a starting role in the halfback
field, has shown well in the past
three tilts. Goalie Red Harris
completes Jeffrey's defensive pic
ture with his blanket coverage of
the Lion net.
End Joe Yukica . . .
Target for Rados Passe
One of the main reasons for the resurgence of Penn State's
football team this fall has been the pass-catching exploits of Joe
Yukica, right end.
He's 6-2 of solid bone and muscle, weighs 192 pounds, and has
specialized principally on offense since he broke in as a regular on
Coach Rip Engle's grid machine
last year.
Anyone observing the 21-year
old senior from Midland playing,
would notice that he's fiercely
competitive and fast and well
controlled when .he's leaping for
a "Rados Rocket" off the arm of
quarterback Tony Rados,
Yukica was headed for his best
season until it was abruptly in
terrupted by a torn knee ligament
in the Nebraska game last month.
Fast Down Field
Up to that time Yukica was
second in the pass reception de
partment. He had snagged 15 aer
ials for 163 yards. Only teammate
Jess Arnelle with 18 receptions
had caught more at that time.
When Yukica was holding down
the right side of the line the op
position knew it. His speed Made
him a valuable man down field
in the ebbing moments of a period
when a touchdown was essential.
Once in the open he knew how to
use blockers.
If Engle has any visions of a
Pitt defeat Saturday, and we're
sure he does, they might come
true, since Yukica might be re
turning to the lineup. After a
month long rest, he's "rarin" to
go, provided he gets the "okay"
from the proper officials.
Speaking of Pitt, we asked Yu
kica what he thought the outcome
would be. After a few moments
he said the Lions could win if
they play well as they are
capable of."
Not Nervous
This being pre-Pitt game week,
most of the players will. undoubt
edly be bothered by p r e - game
tension. With Yukica, however,
it's a different story. "It doesn't
bother me too much," he said.
"Once I'm on the field I feel re
laxed as ever."
His inexcitability is unusual, for
most players work themselves up
into such a nervous state of mind
that it takes a period or so in
the game before they get over it.
Yukica usually spends the night
before a game watching a movie
Or relaxing. "No studying of any
sort," he added quickly.
Yukica experienced his greatest
thrill in intercollegiate football in
1950 when the Lion gridders came
from behind to edge a tough Rut
gers outfit, 18-14, at Beaver Field.
In that game State trailed 14-12
at the end of the third period.
Late in the fourth session Tony
Orsini, State quarterback, scam
pered 27 yards for a TD which
was made possible by the clever
blocking of Yukica.
