WEDNESDAY, SRL-A:MEER 30, 1953 Hosterman to Pick Gridders Are Set FullEmck Slot . Filled By Dierks By ROY WILLIAMS After scrimmaging and observ ing his soccer candidates during the past two weeks of pre-season - workouts, Coach Ken Hosterman will make his final choice today for the Nittany's starting eleven for the season'S, opener at Buck nell on Saturday. Hosterman plans to select a traveling squad which will include sixteen men. ,"The entire squad looked very impressive last Friday, during our practice season against the freshman- team,-" Hosterman , re marked, "but you must remember that the majority of the freshmen are inexperiended, so I naturally expected the varsity .to perform in a satisfactory'rnanner." Hoster man stressed, however, that no position at the present is defi nitely determined. Dierks Switched Red Harris has been playing very well at the goalie slot, while sophomore George Geczy has been pressing Harris at the same spot. A new switch, however, was experimented with last night as Paul Dierks, formerly a senior fullback, Was switched to the cen ter halfback position. Ihor Stel nyk was changed to the" right halfback during one of the ma jor alterations in Hosterman's lineup this season. Emil Borra, a senior, and jun ior Bob Little are possible pros pects for the present' vacancy made by switching Dierks to the halfback line. Hap Irvin, captain, may • be a starter at the other fullback position, while Ralph Hoffman; a senior, will be at the left half slot. Pinezich Injured The forward line of State's soc cer eleven may be seriously weak ened for the coming match with the Bisons of Bucknell Saturday. Jack Pinezich, senior center for ward, seriously twisted his ankle Friday afternoon while scrim maging against the frosh squad. X-,rays proved that the ankle was not fractured, however. The forward line 'has been iron ing out the wrinkles and polish ing its . accuracy in passinir. Coach Hosterman remarked, "The line is shaping up, but we must improve upon its penetration ef fectiveness. The boys are moving in, but I think they could carry our offensive attack deeper." Sen.- ior Hubie Kline has been looking good at the outside left position, with another senior, Bill Norcik at the outside right slot. Milt Springer may be at the inside right line position. With the possibility of Pinezich being out of the line a strong reality, a new headache may arise in the form of a replacement at the in side left slot. Dick Packer may be moved.to replace Pinezich, with Dick viatacai, -a sophomore, or two juniors—Joe Majares and Charley Snyder—working for the vacant inside left post._ "I've purposely been moving the boys around for their own good, and the go o d of the team," Coach Hosterman remarked. Actually it is hard for anyone to judge the caliber of play which the Lions can play during their scrimmage sessions,' because their , daily opponents on the second squad know the large majority of everyone's tricks and skills.. The real test of State's of fensive scoring power will be tabulated on Saturday. Lucy Wins British Lightweight Title LONDON, Sept. 29 VP) Joe Lucy, a London fishmonger, de feated Tommy McGovern on points over 15 rounds tonight to win the va c ant British light weight boxing title. At the end, both of McGov ern's eyes were almost closed from Lucy's pummelling and his face was covered in blood. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Curt Stone ReCalled As X-Cciuntry Ace One of the finest cross-country runners in the history of Penn State was a bespectacled lad from Brooklyn, Pa.—Curt Stone. Although' he had his collegiate career interrupted by a three-year hitch in the Air Force during World War 11, he came back stronger than ever. • Curt Stone Former Ace Browns Move Baseball Team To Baltirriare BALTIMORE, Sept. 29 (W)-- Major league baseball is return ing to a city with one of the long est and most colorful pasts in the diamond sport. American League approval to day of the St. Louis Browns' tr&nsfer here brings them to a town where professional baseball history dates back to' 1871. During that time it has been in four major leagues and as many minor circuits. It has been 51 years since it was in a major loop, but oldtime hot stove leag uers still talk about the "old Ori oles." Primarily, they reminisce about the 1894-96 teams. They wo n three ' straight National League pennants and are ranked among the all-time best. They twice won the Temple Cup series which became to• d a y's World Series. Baseball students credit them with initiating the "inside" game—the strategy of base stealing, sacrificing, bunting and the hit-and-run. Wee Willie Keeler - was on one of the teams when he coined his famous saying. Asked "How can you hit like that?" he replied "I hit 'em where they ain't." John McGraw and Wilb e r t Robinson played then, too. Mc- Graw becaMe one of baseball's greatest managers with the New York Giants and Robinson with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The same Oriole teams pro duced two other big league man agers. Hughey Jennings of the Detroit Tigers and Fred Clarke of the Pittsburgh- Pirates. The name of the immortal Babe Ruth first appeared in a baseball lineup wtih the Orioles in the Federal League.

During the next year he won the •IC4A' two-mile outdoor championship. He won the Bth Air Force mile title while serving with that out fit in England. Wins Four of Five Stone hit his peak in the IC4A cross-country title run on Nov. 16, 1946 when he came from be hind to win the crown. Bob Slack of Rhode Island led by 25 yards going into the last mile on the Van Cortlandt Park, N.Y. course. Stone slowly closed the gap as they approached the ,stadium gate. Forging into the lead as the two zipped around the less than one-quarter-mile oval, the Lion great picked up a 10-yard advan tage and won going away. _ In five dual meets that year he finished first, or tied for first, on four occasions. The other time he tied for third with Horace Ash enfelter, last year's steeplechase winner at the Olympics. Twice An Olympian Stone added another feather to his cap when he won the 5000- meter crown in the NAAU cham pionships on July 4. 1946 at Lin coln, 'Neb. Since the end of his collegiate days Stone has kept him Self in shape by running against amateur competition. In 1948 and 1952 he. participated in the Olympic games. Last year he set new American records in the 5000 and 10,000- meter runs. He has been crowned champ in the steeplechase, the three-mile run and is the current NAAU six-mile title-holder. One of the reasons he was such a fine runner is that he was a per fectionist—he eliminated unnec essary motion. This is why, he has been able to compete • suc cessfully against runners much stronger than himself. Stone was truly a gem and his place on the roster of all-tinie Nittany greats is assured. MSC Tops in Two SpOifs Michigan State won two na tional championships durina• the 1952 fall season. The undefeated football team was voted the na tional, championship while the cross-country team swept to first place in the NCAA, IC4A and Big Ten meets. Soccer Eleven; for Quakers VeslingHurt; May Miss Penn Game With the return of Jim Hard ing, reserve tackle who had been sidelined prior to the season's start by a leg injury, Penn State's football squad will make its travel to Philadelphia this week end in full strength with Keith Vesling as the only question mark. The team will travel by train Friday evening for the Saturday game at Franklin Field against the Quakers. The only serious casualty re sulted at the Wisconsin encounter was right halfback Vesling who reinjured his lejt elbow. Last year the injury removed him from competition at the mid season mark. His fate for the Penn game will not be definitely known until Saturday. The Penn-Penn ,State game, which has always turned out to be well-played, will be the, sec ond of three road trips for the Nittany Lion gridders. Coach Rip Eng 1 e, who has stressed more blocking for his backfield, will certainly need the block and tackle support he had last year when the Lions upset the 'Quakers, 14-7. It was a fast charging line and the booming punts of Ted Kemmerer which really spelled defeat for 'Coach Red Munger's crew. , Sever Toretti, who scouted the Penn-Vanderbilt game last Sat urday called the- Quaker squad "a formidable-looking outfit, with good size on the line, and lots of speed and power in the back ',field." Although he singled out Penn's fullback, Joe Varaitis, for special mention, all eyes will have to be focused at the tailback slot where stands a triple-threat man; name ly, Walt Hynoski. Penn State's famed Blue Band will make its first appearance 'of the 1953 football season at the Penn game, Oct. 3.

Y PAGE SEVEN Frosh Gridders Show Promise In Scrimmage It's early to speculate, but after looking at the forty-odd young men who comprise the freshman football squad go through their paces, one gets the feeling that the team will more than hold its own during the three game frosh season, which opens with Pitt Oct. 24. Head Coach Earl Bruce, and his assistants Joe Yukica and Chuck Beatty, have been somewhat hampered by late ROTC and en gineering classes which oft en keep -a third of the squad from reporting for practice on time. However, about ten more play ers have joined, the team since last week, and with over three full squads to work with, the coaches feel they can now get down to some serious preparation for the schedule. As far as Bruce and his aids are concerned, the eleven start ing positions are wide open at the moment. The Lion plebes have held a few scrimmages among themselves. Yesterday the Frosh team ran the Penn single wing and T plays against the varsity, while another Frosh defensive eleven scrimmaged against the varsity's offensive team. . After the Pitt home opener will ;come an away game with Navy on Nov. 7, then Penn invades Beaver Field on Nov. 14.
