Garrity Cited
For Line Duty
Jim Garrity, Penn State's junior
end, was among the players cited
for lineman of the week honors
by the Associated Press for his
play in last Saturday's 13-7 loss
to Penn at Franklin Field.
Garrity, who reminds one of a
halfback the way he dodges
would-be tacklers when he gets
hold of the ball, caught four
passes for 82 yards and the only
Nittany Lion touchdown.
Franklin Brooks, a sophomore
guard at Georgia Tech, was
named as the lineman of the week
by the AP poll.
Others, along with Garrity,
mentioned from Penn State op
ponents were end Dick Deitrick
of Pitt and guard Jack Cannon
of Penn.

Slugging Crowns
NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (M—Duke
Snider, 27-year-old outfielder of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, won the
National League's slugging title
for 1953 by a fraction of a per
centage point over Milwaukee's
Eddie Mathews.
Snider, a native Californian,
slugged for a mark of .6271 to
.6269 for the, sophomore Braves'
third baseman—a difference of
.0002. Duke hit for 370 total bases
in 590 times at bat and Mathews
had 363-for-579, Assocaited Press
statistics revealed today.
Al' Rosen of the Cleveland In
dians took American League hon
ors with a .613 average. The hard

First Win,
Given Edge
With the return of Keith
Vesling, who suffered an el
bow injury in the Wisconsin
tilt, Penn State's backfield
should be at full strength to
morrow against Boston Uni
versity at Boston.
Game time is 2 p.m.
Although Ron Younker is likely
to start at the right halfback slot,
Vesling will share the chores with
Younker and Don Eyer.
Travel by Air
The only gridder who will
probably sit out the BU game
will be Keith Horn, who suffered
a slight concussion in the Penn
game. His understudy, Earl Shu
maker, of. Beaver Falls, will start
at right guard.
When Coach Rip Engle's Nit

tomorrow it will mark the first
time the Terriers have played at
their newly-purchased Braves
Field. Penn State will travel by
air, leaving at• noon today.
Lions Favored '
There is still the possioility that
the name of the stadium may be
changed before game time. The
Boston University officials have
been considering to alter the
name from Braves Field to Pap
pas Stadium, after the Terrier's
outstanding guard, John •Pappas,
who died from a head injury sus
tained in the_ BU-Syracuse game
last Saturday. However, no deci
sion has been made as yet.
• Against Syracuse the Terriers
displayed a line that was much
improved over last season's and
should prove troublesome to the
favored Lions. Tomorrow's game
will be the first which Penn State
has been tabbed as favorites.
Engle's football eleven dropped
its first two contests to Wisconsin,
20-0, and Penn 13-7. Boston U.
has tied highly-touted Syracuse,
14-14, in its only contest this sea
son.
It was eiTOnerously stated in
the Collegian yesterday that Bos
ton defeated Brandeis: The latter
school, which had been originally
scheduled to play the Terriers
Sept. 26, will play Boston Oct. 17.
Penn-. State's football team will
travel by air only once in 1953
—for the Boston University game

Fails to Join
R , altimore Team
CHICAGO, Oct. 8 (W)—Frank
Lane, the high-pressure baseball
salesman who traded the once
lowly White Sox into pennant
contention, today failed to swing
his hottest trade yet—himself to
the Baltimore Orioles.
General Manager Lane an=
nounced that:
"After some deliberation a de
cision has been reached that I
should not enter into any discus
sion with the Baltimore club in
regard to that club's general
managership in view of the fact
my contract with the White Sox
has two more years to run."
This ended two days of mys
terious negotiations during which
it was reliably reported Lane's
eagerness to take over operation
of the new Baltimore entry in the
American ' League was firmly
squelched by his present em
ployers.

'Win' Games Too
It has been said- by old timers and present day fans alike that
~,Jotball games are won on the practiCe fields. In truth, football
games are won in the press box of college stadiums as well as 'the
battered turf of the practice gridirons on weekday afternoons.
Yes, the football scout plays a major part in the success of any
team. I-fave you ever wondered;
for instance, why a team may
complete pass after pass near •the
left sideline during a game, or
why a fullback runs through
right guard all afternoon?' It's
pigskins to ping pong balls that
a scout has discovered that a de
fensive ' halfback turns ‘ a certain
way in covering a pass, or that
the opponent's middle guard can
easily be double-teamed.
The scout is usually, a member
of the coaching staff who has the
job of detecting weaknesses in
future opponents. At Penn Sttae,
Earl. Bruce, who doubles as fresh
man head coach, is one of these
men
"Scouting is somewhat easier
this year," said Bruce, "now that
you don't have to remember so
many things about so many play
ers, with the two-platoon system
abolished."
"What we try to do the first
time we see a team," he said, in
speaking for the rest of the Lion
scouting fraternity, "is to map
out their offensive and defensive
patterns. Also, we keep a record
of where they ran the ball during
the game. Thus, we know at the
end of a game how many plays
a team ran off tackle and so on."
When Monday afternoon rolls
'around, the scout's full and com-

prehensive report of the week's
opponent's style of
,play can be
invaluable. In addition, movies
taken of previous g a m'e s are
studied, and suggestions are made
by the coaches which a player
must have, to know just what
he can expect on. Saturday.
Things were not always this
way, however. In the old days
one team- would play another,
and the only thing a coach knew
about his rivals was in the infor
mation he received from other
coaches in letters. Nowadays, the
scout may see a team play up
to four or five games.
This avocation has been some
what revolutionized since yester
year, one *might say. Just last
Saturday, after the Penn State-
Penn game, Quaker coach George
Munger retired to his office and
watched his next two opponents,
Ohio State and California, go
through their paces in the NCAA
TV game of the week.
It's history how this knowledge
can affect the game. A Holy Cross
scout's full and complete' report
was credited with having much
to do with his team's unbelie,vable
55-12 rout of mighty Boston Col
lege in 1942, in what many term
the biggest football upset in the
last quarter century. •
