Quintet to Play Final
The Lions will go through their final pre-season
basketball test this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Rec
Hall when they face a powerful quintet from St,
Francis. This will be the last practice tilt before the
Penn State five embarks on its 21-game schedule
starting Friday, Dec. 12 against Alfred University.
In their last outing with St. Francis the Lions
came out on the bottom of an 85-61 score. The
Frankies, led by their potential all-American Maurice
Stokes, proved too much on the rebounding and
experience angles and walked off the floor with an
easy victory.
Along \with the 6-6 Stokes, the Frankies have
several. other capable players in John Clancy, 6-4,
Gene Phelps, 6-1, and Jim Duggan, 6-2. These four
players were the main reason St. Francis took an
84-76 triumph over the Quantico Marines last Satur
day. It was a very significant victory in that the
Marines have several outstanding players, the most
noticeable being Paul Arizin who played with the
professional Philadelphia Warriors.
Foreign Booters to Engage Lions Cop Six
Nittanies in Exhibition Saturday All-Star Berths
In a game designed primarily as a "color attraction" as well as a practice tilt to keep
the Nittany Lion booters busy while waiting word on a possible Soccer Bowl bid, the Jef
freymen will oppose a select group of fordign head-and-toe experts Saturday at :Beaver
Field. Starting tune is 2 p.m.
Lion soccer Coach Bill Jeffrey said the game would be a real spectacle to watch, for
the foreign soccer players are excellent ball handlers and could give the Nittany booters
trouble—until they tire from lack
of conditioning.
Jeffrey, who always has main
tained that foreign soccer players
are far more adept at playing the
game than Americans, said it
would be interesting to see how
the Lion booters cope with the
keen style foreign soccermen use.
Jeffrey announced that the for
eign squad would be composed of
faculty members and students
from all parts of the world. In
all, 15 foreign nations will be rep-.
resented in the contest: India,
England, Holland, Indonesia,
Greece, Germany, Scotland, South
Africa, Korea, Australia, Wales,
China, Canada, Bolivia, and Viet
nam.
The congenial Scot said that al
though the members of the for
eign team were from different
countries, they still know how
the game is played and, in most
cases, can kick a ball better than
American booters.
Jeffrey's charges, however,
shouldn't feel slighted, for they
have compiled an enviable record
over the 1952 season—seven wins,
one loss, and one tie.
The Nittanies own triumphs
over Bucknell, Maryland, Colgate,
North Carolina, D u k e, Temple,
and Penn. Their single loss came
at the hands of the Middies of
Navy, and Army dealt the Lion
booters their tie match.
The foreign starting eleven will
probably line up this way: Rus
turn Ro y (India), goalie; D.
Thompson (England), right full
back; •Roy Shunil (India), left
fullback; Klaas Eriks (Holland),
right halfback; Bill Lefes
(Greece), center halfback; J.
Kaine (England), left halfback;
Jo e Haller (Germany), outside
right; F. Lietendahl (Germany),
inside right; L. Soedapjo (Indo
nesia), outside left; D. Schreiner
(South Africa), inside left; and
Peter Taylor (Scotland), center
forward.

Stokes vs. Arnelie
Michaels Leads Coaches
To Victory in Grid Picks
They did it. Yes, after• an entire season of subordination to the
prognostic minds of the Daily Collegian sportswriters, the Penn
State grid coaches last week squeezed one game ahead of Sports
Editor Jake Highton to clinch first place in the football predicting
race. ,
• And it was the amazing ingenuity of
Michaels, who had previously
dealt a damaging blow to the
sportwriters' cause going into the
homestretch of the race, that pav
ed the way for the victory.
Going into, the final week of
predicting, the coaches and High
ton were each tied with logs 01"
84-49. Mike, weathering numer
ous upsets throughout the day's
action across the nation, came
through with four wins and 11
losses to edge Highton, who had
three wins.
The winning coaches sported
a final total average of .595, sev:
en points better. than Highton's
pet c e n t a g e. Sportswriter Bob
Schoellkopf, who led the race for
the first three weeks, slipped bad
ly and wound up third with a
final percentage of .568, four
games off the pace. Assistant
Sports Editor Ted Soens finished
fourth" with a record of 79 wins
and 69 losses, for a percentage of
.534.

It will be interesting to see what Stokes, with
his sweeping hook shot, can do against Jesse Arnelle
and.his favorite jump shot. Both men stand 6-6 and
both have a good eye for the hoop. But Maurice - will
hold the slight advantage in that he's been prac
ticing since November 1 while Jesse had his first
basketball workout - last night along with the. other
football players Jack Sherry and ;Bob Rohland.
The Frankies also possess a terrific dribbler
in this Gene Phelps. Last year in the final game of the
season, all of the St. Francis players sat out for part
of the game while Phelps dribbled around and around
with no one able to get the ball off of him.
The practice game will be the highlight of a
basketball clinic scheduled for Rec Hall on Saturday.
The clinic is designed to assist the highschool coaches,
players and officials on the start of a new season.
Dr. Elmer Gross, head basketball coach at the College;
will be in charge of the program.
Assisting him will be his predecessor, Dr. John
