'52 Lion Gridder 'Air learn
TWO LION gridders, Jess Arnelle, right, and Tony Rados, left,
who have raised the eyebrows of Nittany football fans all season,
set new State offensive records in the Pitt game. Big Arnelle is
the proud owner of 33 pass catches which broke the old record
of 31 by Lenny Krouse. Passing wizard Rados' 93 completions
out of 186 tries, as well as his career total of 118 out of 254
are new Nittany grid records.
N ittany Lions
Pitt Panthers
Penn State's best football season since 1948 wound up in a
blaze of sunshine and a cloud of rain in Pitt Stadium two weeks
ago. The sun was for the Lions' 17 points, the rain for Pittsburgh's
big gooseegg and shattered Orange Bowl hopes.
The crowd of 53,766—season high for Pitt Stadium and the
second largest in the Lion-Pan
ther series—saw State score its
seventh win against only two
losses and one tie. It also wit
nessed a fine football game with
some brilliant play on both sides:
First Quarter
Punting specialist Ted Kem
merer got off a prodigious 61-
yard kick for the Lions, whom
the Pitts had bottled up inside
the 20.
Keen deception, crisp blocking,
and Bobby Epps kept the Pan
thers rolling hard and fast along
the ground—but only between the
20-yard lines.
Hard running by Keith yes
ling and Buddy Rowell com
bined with sharp Tony Rados
passing to circus-catching Jim
Garrity and Don Eyer paced
State's finest offensive game
since early season.
Safetyman Jack Sherry made a
twisting interception at midfield
and streaked to the Pitt 29 as the
period ended.
Second Quarter
Sophomore Garrity made a
sensational "pro" catch—tipping
the ball first and then grabbing
it from the arms of two defend
ers. Rados threw from the 37,
Garrity caught it on the 25 and
then chugged to the 16, nearly
going all the way.
Vesling slammed inside the 10
on a cutback. Then Rados pitched
to Jesse Arnelle, who made a
leaping catch at the base of the
goal posts, but the refs ruled him
out of the endzone. Rados fired
a quickie to Arnelle over the mid
dle to Jess on the 8 from whence
he smashed to the 3. Rowell slant
ed off tackle like a man possessed
for the score. Automatic Bill
Leonard booted his 17th straight
and State led, 7-0.
The Panthers roared back. A
long pass put the Pitts on the
Nittany 26. Then came what ap
peared the turning point—a
brilliant defensive eff or t by
State's great linebacker, Pete
Schoderbek. Epps was off
around end behind good block
ing. The way appeared clear for
a long gain, if not a touchdown.
But Schoderbek roared "from
nowhere" to spill the ball car
rier.
Again the Pitts hounded toward
the goal line after a drive from
their own 38. With Epps showing
the way, the Panthers had a third
down and five situation on the
Lion 15. Shifting into single wing
for the first time, Pitt passed, but
the Lions Were ready as Schoder
bek intercepted. It was the Pitts'
last serious threat.
Third Period
Matt Yanosich made a picture
tackle crashing Pitt's crack safety
Henry Ford out of bounds on the
Panther 18.
Later, after tack 1 e Stew
Scheetz had stacked up two
By JAKE HIGHTON
ground plays in a row, defensive
end Dave Simon blocked a
punt, and Rosey Grier recovered
for the Lions on Pitt's 8. Pitt
braced, and Leonard's field goal
attempt, from a difficult angle,
went off to the right.
As the period ended, Arnelle
latched on to a Rados pass for his
32d reception of the season and a
new Penn State one-year record.
The previous high of 31 was held
by Lenny Krouse and set in 1941.
This Rados pass moved the
Lions to the 36. Opening the last
15 minutes, Bob Pollard and Ves-*
ling alternated to the 25. Then
Rados tossed to Yanosich, who
made a spectacular leaping catch
on the 15, and barrelled to the
six. With Pitt holding on the
goal again, Leonard stepped back
for another field goal try. With
a somewhat better angle, Bill
booted his second FG of the sea
son and gave State the clincher,
10-0.
But with Pitt unable to move
against the stubborn Nittany
defense. State iced the game
thanks to another of Sherry's
fine safetyman efforts. Jack
intercepted a deep pass on the
Lion 45 and streaked all the way
to the 10 behind good inter
ference from Leonard, Eyer, and
Joe Gratson.
With Sherry being roughed up
by the gang-tackling Pitt's who
shoved him out of bounds, State
was awarded a first down on the
one-yard line. From there Rados
sneaked into paydirt, Leonard
converted, and Pitt was kayoed,
17-0. In five seconds—record time
—after the game ended, the goal
posts were down—just as broken
as the Panther bowl dreams.

Pinezich's 23 Pointers
Set Lion Booter Mark
Whoever heard of a record being set by a toe? Well, Penn State recently had one
such phenomenal happening. • ..
And it was none other than the trusty toe of one Jack Pinezich, the Nittany Lion
soccer team's crack center forward, that was responsible. Big Jack, who is only -a
sophomore, spoiled Bill McEwan's
seasonal scoring record two Sat
urdays ago by scoring three goals
against the Penn soccermen, rais
ing his seasonal total to 23' point
ers. McEwan's record, set in 1935,
was 21 goals for .seven games.
Pinezich has accomplished other
feats during the past soccer cam
paign, which saw the Jeffreymen
cop seven matches, lose one, and
tie one.
Strong On Defense
The New York product, in ad
dition to averaging 2.6 goals per
game this year, accounted for 56
oer cent of the total Nittany boot
rs scoring. The Lions found the
net 41 times during the campaign,
and averaged 4.6 goals per tilt.
On defense, the Nittanies were
equally effective. Aside from ad
ministering four whitewashings
to opponent booter teams, they
held the foe to a mere .9 goals
per match.
To keep in shape for a possible
bowl bid New Year's Day, the
Jeffreymen will play an exhi
bition with a team composed of
foreign students and faculty mem
bers Saturday at Beaver Field.
Starting time will be 2 p.m. Coach
Bill Jeffrey has not received word
from the selections committee
about a possible boWl bid, but he
expects a reply shortly:
Fast Start
The Nittany soccermen com
pleted another successful season
Nov. 22 when they bowled over
a strong Penn squad, 3-2, at River
Field, Philadelphia, in a game
played in rain and mud. It was
the fourth straight conquest for
the Nittany booters and kept them
in the race for a possible bowl
bid.
Pinezich's record-breaking trio
of goals was all of the Nittany
coring for the day. The Quakers
began like a bolt of .lightning,
scoring twice before ten minutes
of the first period had passed.
But after this flurry of goals,
the
Lion defense stiffened and held
the Red and Blue booters score
less the rest of the way.
And it was a .sweet victory for
Jeffrey himself. • It marked the
200th game of coaching for the
amiable Scot at Penn State, and
his 151st win as against 22 defeats
and 27 ties. Jeffrey has been the
Lion soccer mentor since 1926.
Waterfield to Quit
Football Next Yeah
LOS ANGELES, (IP) —Bob Wat
erfield, veteran quarterback and
bellwether of the Los Angeles
Rams. yesterday announced he
will retire from professional foot
ball at the end of this year.
The • 32-year-old Waterfield—
who has been supplanted by Nor
man Van Brocklin as the team's
main spark—said he will finish
the season, but then hang up his
pads for good.
It's A Fact
in 1859 the admission requirements for a student
entering Penn State were to have attained the
age of 16; tuition, boarding, fuel, light and books'
were fixed at one hundred dollars per session.
One hundred pupils were to be admitted on rec
ommendation of the respective Coimty Agricul
tural Societies.
The admission requirements for coming to Vic's
are a desire for: a wonderful breakfast, lunch, or
supper—served to you with that cheerfulness so
characteristic to Vic's. Come in today and see for
yourself why Vic's is so popular with the students
at Penn State.

Lions Fail in Bid
For National Honors
Now that their running spikes are stored away and they don't
have to worry about bucking the elemefitg - attired in only their
thinclads, Penn State's cross-country runners can look back over
Lly say - that it wasn't their year
the past two outings and rightfu
for top honors.
Relieved of their IC4A title last
month by the mighty Spartan
hill-and-dalers, Coach Chick Wer
ner's corps ran against ,this same
club in the NCAA's last Monday
at East Lansing, Mich., and had
to be content with a fourth place
deadlock with Syracuse, defend
ing national champs.
Superior distance depth netted
the Spartans the NCAA crown.
By amassing 65 points, the MSC
harriers duplicated their IC show
ing ' and, consequently, make a
clean sweep of the championships,
having previously won the IC4A
title. along• with the Big Ten
crown.
New Record Set
Behind MSC in the scoring col
umn was Indiana with 68 points.
lowa placed third with 103 points,
while Syracuse and Penn State
shared fourth place with 110
points each.
The individual honors were
won by Charley. Capozzoli of
Georgetown. The Hoya senior,
who also won the IC first place
medal, covered the four-mile
course in , the phenomenal time
of 19:36, breaking the record of
19:52 set by Bob Black of Rhode
Island in 1948.
Red Hollen was the only Nit
tany harrier to place in the first
ten. Reliable Red turned in what
was probably the best distance
performance of his distance career
when he finished seventh. The
19-year-old junior ran a 20:00
clocking for the four-miles.
Horner Places 30th
Next for the Lions was sopho
more Jim Hamill. Young Hamill
placed 25th with a 20:36 timing.
Captain Jack Homer ran hi s
last race for the Lions and it was
a fine one at that. Homer's time
was 20:42 as he placed 30th.
Senior Stan Lindner crossed
the finish line 34th with a 20:51
clocking.
Perhaps the most disappointing
'f all Lion finishers was Lamont
nith, who, for the second straight
week, couldn't keep up with the
pace-setters.
Although his time of 20:58 wa: - .
fast for the course, it was only
good enough for 39th place in t♦he
star-studded national race.
The Lion harriers finished the
regular„ season with a 4-1 record,
winning over Cornell, Army, Man
hattan and NYU, while losing to
MSC.
