After Third
Win in Row
By ROY WILLIAMS
Penn State's soccer eleven
took to the road yesterday
afternoon for its third succes
sive away match of the '53
season. The Nittanies will
meet Army this afternoon at
West Point, - while gunning
for their third straight win of
the season. The Lions will also
be out to cop win number ten of
a streak which began in 1952.
Jack Pinezich, Coach Ken Hos
terman's ace lineman, will be
starting his first game of the sea
son. Pinezich who was out of the
lineup for the first two matches,
Will take Dick Matacai's inside
left position. Pinezich was origin
ally slated for the center iftirward
position, but Dick Packer, the
outstanding sophomore replace
ment for him during his absence,
will not be moved, according to
Hosterman. Matacai is scheduled
to start at the inside right slot.

initely out for the entire season.
Gary Nuggent
Soccer Stalwart
Nuggent suffered a fractured
foot last Saturday, when he was
kicked twice during the Mary
land-State game. Joe Majares is
another casualty on the Nittany
soccer roster. Majares and a team
mate bumped heads last week
during a scrimmage session, which
required four stitches to close
Majares' wound.
Paul Dierks, who missed the
Terp contest last week because
of an injured knee, is expected
to start at his center forward
position.
After a two-year lapse, Army
returned to the Nittany soccer
schedule for the 1951 season, and
handily defeated the Lions 4-1
on the West Pointer's home
grounds. Last year the Lions held
a slight edge in that they were
playing at home. A 1-1 tie, how
ever, was the best the Jeffrey
men could claim after a contest
of flying feet and hot tempers
had ended.
Army's 1953 soccer schedule is
a typically tough alignment of
games that include most of the
finest teams in the East. Coach
Joe Palone, now in his seventh
season as the Cadet's mentor, will
be striving to match his out

"It's in the Book"
Sam's Song
By SAM PROCOPIO
Collegian Sports Editor
The vigorous effort of Coach Floyd (Ben) Schwartz
walder to restore the Orange to high rating in the gridiron
world was successfully achieved last year due to Syracuse's
win over Penn State. From there it was gravy. This year his
attempt to succeed will be rather slim—but, there's always
that possibility.
Like Coach Rip Engle, Schwartzwalder - installed the winged-T
to replace the single wing when he took the reins at Syracuse in
1949. As the rebuilding program continued, the Orange snapped out
of the doldrums to give all opponents a merry scrap.
At the end of the 1949 season "things were looking up on
Piety Hill." The following year they had the familiar slogan
"Wait 'till next year . . ." It came but they began to say "1952
—this could be it." It was. That is, until they took a trip south to
the Orange Bowl and began to play strip poker with Alabama.
The Orangemen lost, 61-6.
"Syracuse should have another good football team and should
win its share in its own league though we probably won't be as
strong and versatile as a year ago. We should have better-than
average passing and running, though a lack of experienced ends
will hurt our receiving. Our punting is a major headache, and we
are awfully thin at most spots. It's hard to lose 16 lettermen and
not feel it."
That's Coach Schwartzwalder's view of his team before the
season began. Of the entire phrase we must believe he has a king
sized headache in finding a punter. When we checked a report that
gave the player's names who will do the kicking chores. we found:
"Punting—Stark, Yancey, Albright, Hadjis, Fleck, Perkins,
Troilo, and any other volunteers." (What about the water boy?)
Although Syracuse was forced to come from behind against
Boston U. and Fordham, one can't be sure that Penn State will walk
off Beaver Field with its second win of the campaign. '
With football in its new one-platoon era Syracuse must not be
overlooked. For the simple fact that Schwartzwalder is for the new
rule and voted so two years ago. He used the two platoon system,
however, in "self-defense."
He feels "that the fan will enjoy the new game more, for the
identity of the players will be reestablished. Too, it should make
coaching more important and it should bridge the gap between
the poWerhouse and the average squad."
The rivalry between both schools has always been one of topsy
turvy style, and tomorrow's battle should be one of the top games in
the East.
The contest is the 31st game in the overall series. Penn State
has won 13, lost 12, and tied five. Starting with 1948 the winning
school has played at its home field. By this set pattern it's Penn
State's turn to win.
Interesting highlights through the series find that not. since
1934 has Syracuse defeated Penn State at - State College . . not
since 1935 has Syracuse defeated the Nittany Lions two Tears in
a row . and too, Penn State is the last Eastern school to defeat
the Orangemen. This came in 1951 when Engle's gridders won
32-12. Since that time Syracuse has been undefeated in its last
! James against Eastern rivals, although it was tied by Boston
University earlier this season. The tie was the first ever coached
by Schwartzwalder. His college head coaching record shows 46
victories, 21 defeats before the 1953 season started.
If there is anything certain for this game, we can say that Penn
State spectators will, be slightly confused when Syracuse has the
ball. The backfield may lineup in either the unbalanded winged-T,
the straight-T, or the deep formation. Basically, Schwartzwalder
employs his own concoction of an unbalanced winged-T with split
ends—one to two yards apart—and sometimes a split strongside
tackle—one yard apart. In the straight-T, his lineup is almost the
same, but there is no wingback and has flankers either way.
The deep formation attacks from an unbalanced line, with tiro
wingbacks, a fullback about three yards from the line of scrim
mage and the deep back eight to ten yards from the line. The direct
snap from center is used in this formation. •

Lion Gridders Seek
To Eliminate yracuse
From Y n eaten Ranks
For the fourth successive weekend Penn State's football squad
will endeavor to eliminate an opponent from the nation's unbeaten
ranks. Tomorrow at_2 p.m. Coach Rip Engle's gridders will play
of a four-game home stand. The
starts and are a prime contender
Syracuse at Beaver Field, the firs
Orangemen are unbeaten in three
for Eastern title honors.
The Lions will be out to avenge
the defeat handed them last year
at Syracuse, 25-7_, But Ben
Schwartzwalder's eleven, victor
ious over Penn State two of the
last three years, will be a tough
opponent again. Most of the play
ers who made things gloomy for
Engle's crew last year are still
operating.
Al Michaels, Nittany Lion scout,
said: "If the injured Bill Wetzel
is ready, it'll be virtually the
same backfield that ran and
passed us to death last year."
However, it has been reported
Wetzel will not be ready for to
morrow's contest.
Michaels continued to describe
Saturday's opponent: "Bruce Yan

Orange a one-two punch they
lacked at quarterback a year ago,
while Wetzel arid Bob Leber

the East's better backs," he point

from halfback to end, also looks
good."

Four Wins
A spirited Monkey A.C. team
came from behind in the waning
minutes of the first IM touch
football game last night to edge
the Flashes by a 7-6 margin.
The Monkey's score, which
came late in the second half. was
the result of a 25 yard pass from
Wes Link to Andy Pytel. Les
Patchiri scored the winning point
nabbing a low pass from Link in
one corner of the end zone.
The Flashes scored early in the
first half when little Vic Alcola
snared a Joe Pernasilici pass in
the end zone. Pernasilici was
tagged in the try for the extra
point.
Alpha Sigma Phi eked out a
1-0 victory over. Phi Delta Theta
in a sudden death thriller in the,
second game.
Stan De Resio passed 30 yards
to speedster Dave Murphy to put
the ball on the Phi Delt's 20 yard
line. The Phi Delts were ' unable
to move in two plays.
It was the impressive passing
and running of the Iron Men's
Chris, Duliatus that paved the
way to an 8-7 victory over the
Dragons in the third game of the
evening.

Duliatus carried for 25 yards
through the center of the line to
set up the touchdown late in the
second half. On the next play he
threw 15 yards to Dick Baxter
for the score. Duliatus then
sprinted around his left, end to
score the extra point. But it was
in the final sudden death period
that Duliatus truly excelled as
he eluded four Dragon pursuers
to throw a 30 yard aerial to Dick
Baxter in Dragon territory to win.
The Dragon's score came early
in the first half when Bill Shel
lenberger intercepted a Duliatus
