PAGE SIX Lions Face 2nd !:..7: rid . Champion When Penn State kicks off against the Quakers of Penn at 2:00 p.m. Saturday it will be the second consecutive weekend that Coach Rip Engle's gridders will face a football conference champion. Last season Penn regained the "mythical" Ivy League championship from Princeton. Although Penn is ordinarily hailed as a perennial Ivy League champion, it will not be eligible for the title this year since it only has one Ivy League opponent scheduled. That is Yanks Cop First, 9-5 (Continued from page one) inning blast, they finally man aged to knock out a fast-tiring Reynolds in the sixth only to see the game go out the window when their own pitchers failed. Twelve Brooks were stranded, only two short of the Series rec ord. Jim Hughes, Who allowed only one run in four innings after tak ing over from Erskine, was the only effective Dodger pitcher. After he went out for pinch-hitter George Shuba in the sixth ? Mana ger Chuck Dressen couldn't find a stopper. Billy Martin hit a three-run tri ple with the bases loaded off Er skine in • the first and added a pair of singles to lead the Yankee at tack. Collins and Yogi Berra pro vided the home run punch. Junior Gilliam, Gil Hodges and Shuba ripped into Reynold's pitches for home runs before Manager Casey Stengel brought in tobacco chawin' Slim Curve ball Johnny allowed only one more run and five hits over the last four and two thirds innings to earn the victory. Reynolds threw like a man de termined to go as far as he could and let Stengel worry about the late innings. He was superb in the first four, blanking the Brooks with only two hits. From the time Gilliam, the rookie who chased Jackie Robin son off second base, hit his homer into the right field seats in the fifth, it was obvious that ReY nolds would be lucky to go nine. Time a f ter time he went to three balls. on the hitter. When he finally was yanked after Hodges' blast and Shuba's two run pinch homer in the sixth, he had thrown 104 pitches. Most pitchers average about 120 or so for a full game. Game Close Brooklyn's manager Charlie Dressers said the close call' at third base in the seventh inning decided the first World Series game in favor -of the Yankees, but he refused to "alibi." "All I'm going to say is that it was close," -the doughty Dod ger master mind said in the dress ing room afterwards. "I'm not going to cry like the Yankees did last year. "But if Hodges is safe, it's an entirely different' ball game." The situation was this: The game was tied 5-5 with Brooklyn at bat and none out at the top of the seventh. Gil Hodges was on. second and Carl Furillo on first after slash ing singles. No Protest Third baseman Billy Cox bunted and Yogi Berra scooped up the ball and rifled it to the Yankee third baseman ; , Gil Mc- Dougald. Art Gore, National League um pire at third, threw his hands up quickly on the close play. Dres sen went into a dance of rage at third base but made no official protest. Other Dodgers com plained. But instead of having the bases full with none out, the Dodgers had men on first and second with one out. The Yankees emerged from the situation without per mitting another score and went on to win 9-5. Hodges Hits The beaten Dodgers were sol emn but not down-hearted as they trooped single file into their dressing quarters under the Yan kee Stadium catecombs. They had some consolation in that first brseman Gil Hodges boune:A. rut r r ^ " • , ged World Series hittlnfv. ) which had, seen him go 0 for 24.. 1 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Cornell. However, the Quakers undoubtedly possess one of the roughest schedules in the coun try. Penn's 1953 football team is still a potent force on the grid iron even though they only de feated Vanderbilt, 13-7 last Sat urday. It was obvious that Penn felt the sting of one-platoon foot ball, but so did Penn State. There fore, this game should prove which team has benefited from its experience last Saturday. Red Munger, who is in his last year as head coach at Penn, has a nucleus of 27 lettermen from the '1952 championship team to form the backbone of the current squad: Munger has been trying to groom men to take over for elev en outstanding members of last year's team which posted a 4-3-2 record. One of its 'losses was at the hands of Penn State, 14-7. The Quakers had been unbeaten in five games before the Nittany Lion contest. Losses like Captain Bob Evans, Ed Bell, the All-American left end, and a pair of fine running backs, Bill Deuber, and Glenn Adams, will certainly be felt. However, in the important tail back and fullback positions in the single wing attack, Munger has Walt Hynoski, the Mt. Car mel, Pa. gridder who has been named to many All-America pre dictions for 'this year, and Joe Varaitis, a hard-running fullback who has picked up 1024 yards and nine touchdowns in the last two years. Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh both lead Penn State by com manding margins in their all-time football rivalry.

These same two clubs also in augurated the 1952 season open er, with the Nittany Lions having things pretty much their own way. The final count of that ball game found Penn State on the winning side of a 10-1 score. As usual, Jack Pinezich managed to bear the brunt of the Lion scoring. Although the Lion hooters are hoping for a repeat berformance of last year's game, Bucknell is expected to field a veteran team. With this situation facing them, a Lion victory would probably be .a' forerunner of things to come. With no definite lineup estab lished, the Nittany Lions will 'have seven veterans available for opening game action. Of those awaiting the call to action, Bob Harris opened last season's con test at goalie. Paul Dierks and Captain "Hap" Irwin formed an almost impregnable combination at the fullback slots. Hubie Kline_ and Bill Norcik held down the outside posts. The latter .was second to Jack Pine zich in individual scoring last sea -1 son. Ralph Hoffman and Gail Robbins saw action at the half back positions. Coach Hosterman has been searching for able re placements for these positions which were hit hard due to grad uation. Bob Little, who was being counted on by Coach Hosterman; has been declared ineligible for the coming campaign because he is not carrying enough credits.

Penn State Club failed to show up for the scheduled final en counter with the Bulldogs, thus forfeiting the game. Lou Schneider, Paul Phillips, Butch Lentz, an d Joe Captain were the main factors in the Ter ror's 32-0 romp over Joe's Boys. Each man played a decisive role in the victory, with Phillips and Schneider each accounting fo r two tallies, and Captain crossing the double chalk mark twic e. Schneider completed two of five extra point pass attempts, one to Captain and one to Schuman, to account for the Terror's 32 count ers. Just seven minutes after the opening whistle, a Phillips-to- Schneider-to-Captain aerial click ed for the winner's initial six pointer. Following the ensuing kickoff and a quic series of downs in which Joe's Boys failed to advance the pigskin, Schneider passed to Lentz for another Ter ror score. In the final seconds of the first half, the winners again clicked in the air. This time it was a Schneider to Lentz to Captain combination that accounted for a TD. On the Joe's Boys kickoff to open the final period, a Schneid er - to Lentz - to - Phillips - to Captain aerial once again came through to give the Terrors six points. The play , covered a total of 95 yards. Halfway through the final chapter, after receiving an opponent's punt on his own 25, Schneider advanced 'to his 45 and passed to Lentz who galloped ten yards, and then threw to Phil lips who raced ten yards to pay dirt to wind up the scoring. It was definitely the sterling offensive play by Schneider, Phil lips, Lentz, and Captain that spell ed defeat for the losers. Don Holler, Red Felix and Bill Greenawalt played great all around ball in vain, as Alpha Chi Sigma was turned back by Tri angle, 6-0, in the evening's final encounter. It was a Paul Shoop-to- Paul Whipkey - to Harry Lesher pass play that accounted for the winner's lone tally. Jim Bobb's pass attempt to Rodney Beck for the seventh point failed. Neither team was able to score in the final period as excellent defensive play was shown by both squads.
