Intramural Teams Gain
By JOHN LAWRENCE
Six teams squared off in the fourth session
of intramural football last night on Beaver
Field.
Alpha Chi Rho managed to gain the measure
of the men from Chi Phi, 7-0, while the Ath
erton Men failed to keep the home fires burn
ing and went down to defeat at the hands of
the Raiders, 6-0. In the final tilt of the eve
ning, the Flashers pulled one out of the fire in
the second half to dump the Dinks to the tune
of 12-6.
Ronnie Weidenhammer directed the reins of
Alpha Chi Rho in its win over Chi Phi. Weiden
hammer's prime targets were Jim Brownlee
and Steve Fodor. Early in the ball game, Weid
enhammer utilized his passing arm and con
nected with Brownlee and Fodor on two suc
cessive heaves.
Chi Phi's defense stiffened and it took over
on its own 15. Unable to move the pigskin, an
exchange of punts resulted with Alpha Chi Rho
and Weidenhammer ending ,up on Chi Phi's
own 42. Weidenhammer went into action and
completed a pass good to the Chi Phi 30. Here,
Penn Game Baffles Ex•erts;
Soccermen to Face Ist Test
Lions Must
Stop Penn
'T' Offense
Whenever Penn and Penn
State skirinish on the gridiron,
a prediction is useless. Intfs.ct,
most football crystalball gaz
ers have failed to hit the nail
on the head for this game dur
ing the past several meetings
of the schools.
TomorroW's game, which has
the kickoff set for 2 p.m., at
Franklin Field, finds Penn any
where from a 7 to 13 points fav
orite. Some, however, have the
Nittany Lions favored by seven
points.
Penn 'T . Threat
Coach Rip Engle and his play
ers will leave.by train for Phila
delphia late tonight and will
make their headquarters at the
Hotel Warwick.
George Munger has expanded
his single wing to include varia
tions off the T. And there's even
the possibility that the most dev
astating blow to the Nittany
Lions will be from the "T," since
tailback Walt Hynoski and full
back Joe Varaitis are "T" ball
players.
Hynoski, who is well-known for
his open field running, is one of
the fastest runners, if not the fast
est on the squad. He sprinted as
a schoolboy and was clocked in
9.9 in the 100 yard dash.
Although he did an unexpected
ly poor job at passing against
Vanderbilt last Saturday during
the first half, Hynoski can't be
expected to fail this time. He,
like. Glenn "Bones" Adams, is a
threat with passe s—especially,
passing on the dead run. It was
his Mt. Carm6l, Pa., teammate,
Adams, who changed Hynoski
from a three-quarter passer to
the "past the ear" type.
Tallies Lone TD
The only Penn touchdown
scored against Penn State last
year was tallied by the triple
threat Hynoski. After Jim Kopen
haver intercepted a Nittany Lion
pass in the first period the Red
and Blue moved 49 yards in five
plays to score when Hynoski went
off tackle for the final eight
yards.
He can kick too. He averages
37 yards.
Varaitis is almost a sure bet
to gain yardage when the Quakers
need a few for the first down
or that line plunge near the, goal
line. Add to this their passing star
in the Vanderbilt tilt, quarter
back Edward C!r-naigna. and one
can see why thy say:
Mr. Munger has the -horses.

Eastern League
Will Continue
Through 1954
- NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (W)—The
Eastern baseball league, one of
the few minor circuits able to
claim continuous operation since
its inception in 1923, expects no
interruption in 1954.
Directors of the Class A league
met today with President Thomas
H. Richardson. Although pot a
scheduled gathering, Richardson
called the members together to
review the paSt season and at
the same time go over prospects
for next year.
Following the meeting Richard
son said the league would defin
itely operate in 1954. "We may
have one or two changes in our
geographic structure, but we'll
be in business," the prexy said.
He declined to comment on names
of the possible new member
cities.
Mathewson Widow
Aids Boy's League
SARANAC LAKE, N.Y., Oct. 1
(i 3 )—Mrs. Christy Mathewson has
made a donation and pulled out
of the red a juvenile baseball
league named after her famed
husband.
The widow of Christy Mathew
son, who resides in Lewisburg,
Pa., mailed $25 to the Christy
Mathewson J u irenile Baseball
League to help the boys meet a
$14.60 deficit with which they
ended the season.
Andy Fortune, league treasurer,
said today the check came after
the ball player's widow learned
of the difficulties of the league.
the defense, led by the incessant charges of
Armour Black, drove Alpha Chi back to mid
field.
Late in , the half, Dick Headlee unleashed a
pass which bounced out of the arms of Black
and into Weidenhammer's, who galloped to the
Chi Phi 7. On the first play from scrimmage,
Weidenhammer hit Brownlee in the end zone
for the tally. A Weidenhammer to Fodor pass
accounted for the extra point.
Alpha Chi's defense kept the men from Chi
Phi in check through the remainder of the sec
ond half. Chi Phi's two platoon system met with
dismal failure, largely through the efforts of
that man—Weidenhammer.
The second contest saw Ron Denker lead
the attack to no avail. Despite displaying an
arm which might be compared to Georgia's
Bratowski, the Raider's turned up with a rock
ribbed defense. At the end of the first half,
Bob Wenner, of the Atherton Men, punted to
Jim Forsythe at mid-field. No sooner had For
sythe placed his hands on the pigskin when
he scampered down the sidelines and leaped on
the ten yard line and hit Herbie Abuff, who

NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (?P)—The
Cleevland Indians purchased a
first baseman and a center
fielder froin farm clubs of the
Brooklyn Dodgers today. '
They acquired the player voted
most valuable in the International
League, Glenn Rocky Nelson, 30-
year-old first bas em a n who
throws and bats from the port
side. The centerfielder was Gale
ard Wade, 24, of Forth Worth in
the Texas League.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1 (AD)—The Chi
cago Cubs. today announced the
sale of outfielder Paul Schramka,
25, and pitcher Dick Verbic, 27,

was O'Connel's second defeat in
two years.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (?P)—Asa

was stopped short of the goal on the two.
Dick Rivers then found John Shelar, open in
the end zone and greeted him with the game
winning touchdown. Don Denker displayed an
accurate passing arm in defeat. A late season
threat by the Atherton Men was turned back
by the Raiders in the closing minutes. Ron
Denker took over on his own 40 and completed
three successive passes, which placed the apple
on the Raiders fifteen. All this was in vain,
however, as the game ended with the Raiders
in possession.
The final tilt of the evening had a slight dash
of Frank Merriwell added to it. With the Dinks
apparently home safe, Joe Pernasilic and his
Flashers pulled one out of the bag. Trailing 6-0
in the second half, the Flashers finally inter
cepted one of Howie Levine's aerials'. John Les
sig pulled it out of the air and passed to Mary
Hardman for a tie ball game. With seconds re
maining, Joe Pernasilic's pass was batted ba:ck
into his own hands and he galloped through a
stunned field for the winning Margin. It seems
the - whistle had sounded and the Dinks ap
parently believed the game to be over.

'Victories
Lions eet
Bucknell
Tomorrow
By ROY WILLIAMS
The Lion:s contest tomorrow
against the Bucknell Bisons
will not only be the first test
of • the season, for the Nittany
eleven, but will also be the
first for Coach Ken Hoster
man as the Lion's soccer pilot.
The soccer mentor will be
counting on this contest to help
iron out some of the possible
kinks in his lineup, particularly
the halfback line. '
State's soccer eleven will kick
the lid off its nine-game schedule
tomorrow, when it invades the
`Lewisburg
grounds of the Bisons in
at 11 a.m. It will be
, the first of four consecutive 'mat
khes on the road for the Nittany
booters.
Seven Lettermen
Bucknell may have a small
edge on the Nittanies tomorrow,
as the ,Bisons have already been
entaged against one of their seven
scheduled opponents. Although
they were handed a 6-4 cropping
by Lock Haven State Teacher's
College last Saturday, it could
have been a good proving ground
to discover offensive and defen
sive loop holes.
The Bisons have had twenty
five candidates trying for the
eleven starting berths. Seven of
these were lettermen from last
year's squad which posted a one
and seven record.
Coach Peters from Bucknell
has termed State's soccer eleven
as "one of the toughest we'll meet
this year." When asked about
this year's prospects, Coach Pet
