Grid Opener Today
The sophomore mentioned by Engle to start against the Badgers this afternoon is Bobby Allen.
Bill Straub, who has been pressing him for fullback, will probably get to see some action.
A fine pair of ends will be on the receiving end of Tony Rados' passes. He will have Co-captain
Don Malinak and Jesse Arnelle. Other positions in the Lions' line are Rosey Grier and Gene Danser
at tackles, Schoderbek and Keith Horn at guards, and Don Balthaser at center.
Rados will be under the center,
leading Engle's own version of
the winged-T. At the left half
back position the Penn State
coach can go three deep with lit
tle embarrassment. Buddy Rowell,
however, has been nominated to
start. Dick Jones and Lenny
Moore will also see plenty of ac
tion. Keith Vesling will be at
right halfback.

Pitt Seeks Revenge
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25 (IP)—
West Virginia University and the
University of Pittsburgh open the
19 5 3 football season tomorrow
with the game a make or break
point for either team.
The Pitt Panthers, rated one of
the top teams in the East, rule a
7-10 point favorite. It was the
same story last year but th e
Mountaineers reached deep into
a bag of tricks to whip the Pan
thers 16-0.
Lowell Red Dawson, starting
his second season at the helm
of the Panthers, moved his squad
into seclusion today after a light
workout.
The Mountaineers arrived
shortly after noon. They worked
out for a half-hour at Pitt Stad
iurns and then returned to a down
town hotel.

hi Shakeup
By ROY WILLIAMS
The general shakeup among
present newcomers and last
year's veterans of the Lion soccer
squad is still in full swing. Coach
Ken Hosterman has been scrim
maging and observing the local
prospects in the hope of finding
a cohesive all-around 11.
Practice has been underway for
nearly two weeks now, but no
definite positions have been an
nounced by Hosterman as being
"nailed down" by any one man.
His backfield, which is loaded
with talent, still hasn't been
named, despite the fact that he
has ten prospects with soccer
savvy and ability,
Soph Goalie Improves'
Although the line positions,
and the possibilities of filling the
position of the goalie slot may
not be as much of a problem as
the necessary remodeling job on
the halfback line, they could be
last minute headaches. Th e
goalie position has been com
peted for by three veterans. Sen
ior Bob "Reg" Harris, last year's
veteran post tender, has been
showing continued improvement.
Sophomore George Cenzy, one
of the two goalies up from last
year's freshman squad, has also
sharpened his defensive skills.
John Lawrence, another sopho
more, was a possible prospect un-.
til a serious pre-season foot in
jury sidelined him for the ma
jority of the coming season.
Kline at Outside Left
Eight booters, including three
sophomores, have been competing
for one of the five starting berths
on the opening lineup with Buck
nell next Saturday, at the Bison's
home field. Jack Pinezich, record
breaking .center forward of last
year's squad, has been playing
the same position.
Hubie Kline, a senior, has been
performing at the outside left
slot, while another senior, Bill
Norsick, has been operating at
the outside right position. Soph
omore Dick Packer could be a
possible inside left hooter, while
Milt Springer, another sopho
more, may bolster the inside right
berth.
Two juniors—Joe Majares and
Charley Siayder—have been pres
sing for linemen openings: Dick
Matacia, soph lineman, may be
part of the very possible lineup
juggling. Pinezich or Springer
could be switched to inside left,
with Packer filling in at another
slot, as all three men have had
considerable all-around line play
experience. •

Marciano, unscarred after last
night's 11th round technical
knockout victory over LaStarza
before a crowd of 44,562 and a
$435,820 house, met the press in
his hotel room after a late break
fast. His immediate plans call for
watching the World Series in
which he is picking Brooklyn.
Possible Challengers
"We'll definitely fig h t next
year," said Weill, who proceeded
to reel off possible opponents.
"Charles, if he beats Johnson.
Johnson, if he beats Charles again
and wants to stick in the heavy
weight class instead of the light
heavies. Nino Valdes, the big Cu
ban who beat Charles in Miami.
Dan Bucceroni and maybe La-
Starza if he wants it again. And
Jack Solomons London promoter
wants us to fight the British guy,
Don Cockell."
LaStarza won't be in action for
at least six weks because of bone
chips and a calcium deposit in
his left elbow. He also suffered a
muscle hemorrhage in the arm
while blocking one of Marciano's
wild punches.
On the official gate figures,
plus an estiMated $lOO,OOO income
from theater-television, Marciano
will get a total of $186,992.82 and
LaStarza $76,997.04. -The champ
got 42 3 /i per cent and the chal
lenger 17% per cent of the net.

"I didn't even know I was
down or that the fight • was
stopped until I heard Johnny Ad
die, the ring announcer," he said.
"I know I got tired a little. But
he has improved more than I
thought."
Marciano admitted he was ring
rusty after fighting only two min
utes and 25 seconds in an entire
year. He didn't get warmed up
until the seventh when he was
trailing on, two of the three cards.

Sath's Scmg
By SAM PROCOPIO
Collegian Sports Editor
MADISON, Wis., Sept. 26—With the return of the. one
platoon, football coaches will once again be on the lookout
for the triple-threat man. The qualifications for this per
former are being a fast, slick runner, a passing whiz, and a
kicker.
Today, college mentors are finding in most candidates
the first two prerequisites, but the third is lacking. Players
who possessed average kicking ability were a dime a dozen at one
time. Now a fine toothpicleis needed for each dozen.
Here at Camp Randall stadium coaches Rip Engle and Ivy
Williamson are employing kickers with no experience under pres
sure. And too, Engle is not alone in the search for a punter—a Ted
Kemmerer. Williamson is scrutinizing his talented booters who can
kick the pigskin far and true. In this case, the Badgers' coach is
looking for another George O'Brien.
Like Engle who didn't find Kemmerer until Penn State had
several ' games under its belt, Williamson tried his luck with
O'Brien, a linebacker, against lowa. Strangely enough, one of his
punts sailed 96 yards from the line of scrimmage. It was the f'a'st
college game in which O'Brien ever punted and the distance is
recorded as an American record.
The situation occurred when Wisconsin had the ball on its own
1-yard line when O'Brien kicked. The ball was finally downed on
the lowa 3-yard line.
From that game on, O'Brien did all the kicking chores. In 17
punting endeavors, the' linebacker averaged 42.1 yards.
Who will do the punting for both schools in today's game? They
not only have one but four. Engle will' use Co-captain Tony Rados,
Don Eyer, Don Bailey and Buddy Rowell, while Williamson will
have Windy Gulseth, Ron Locklin. Roger Dornburg and Bob
Gingrass.
Looking at the collegiate football rosters, we see that most
coaches are in the same predicament. Purdue and Dartmouth
coaches are in need of kickers so badly that they are checking all
barefoot boys.
The Big Ten may see Edwin (Bino) Neves, a 5 feet, 5 inch,
sophomore Purdue quarterback from Honolulu punting barefooted.
Thus far he has been both entertaining and startling his teammates
and sideline spectators with his ability.
The Big Green of Dartmouth will have a punter who kicks
in hiS stocking feet. He Is Bill Beagle of Danville, a sophomore
quarterback.
Beagle has been so impressive that he has received coach Tuss
I\ , lcLaughry's permission to take off his shoe when he kicks. In
fact, Dartmouth. : has gone:as. far as to provide him with a zippered
sh6e to make things quicker. : •
Beagle was converted to the unorthodox style when he proved
he got from 60 to 70 yards when booting without the shoe. He
.only gets 50 yards when.clies_sed orthodox style.
Pigskin Coin Flips

Before heading for the hinterlands of Wisconsin, the talented
Penn State coaching fraternity ventured their opinions as to the
outcome of the day's top grid games.
This is in keeping 'with the ttadinan of past year in which
coaches have matched with members of the Collegian sportS Staff
in predicting the winners of each Saturday's collegiate games.
This year Head Coach Rip Engle, Tor Toretti, Jim O'Hara, Joe
Paterno, Al Michaels and Earl Bruce will compete against Sports
Editor Sam Procopio, Assistant Sports Editor Dick McDowell and
Harm Weiskopf. Engle took the lead-off position for the coaches
this week.
The crystal bailers have their work cut out•for them this week
with an unusually large number of topflight games for so early in
the season. The "game of the day" in which Notre Dame meets
Oklahoma partitularly has Caused a difference of opinion. Writers
McDowell and Weiskopf favor the Sooners, while editor Procopio
and Engle are stringing along with the Irish.
