P A . GE SIX rgish Gridders - Tackle Pitt Gene Denser Lion Tackle TCU Rated Favorites As Lions Seek 3d Win (Continued from page one) Engle expects some trouble from Martin's newly installed "T" formation. He has stressed pass defense during his workouts. Although Martin does not intend to combine his one-two passing attack at the start, it can be assured that Malvin Fowler and Ray McKown will be pitching together at times. Fowler is at quarterback, while McKown is at fullback. Providing Engle with a top-flight air attack will be the East's number one passer, Co captain Tony Rados. The latter stalwart is rated ninth nationally. He has completed 36 out of 80 pass attempts for a .45 percentage. Last Saturday against Syracuse, Rados passed his first mile in college passing. To gather in Rados' pitches will be the East's number one pass re ceiver, Jim Garrity. Garrity is fourth in the nation in the same department. He has caught 15 passes for 188 yards. One for a touchdown.

In four games they have a 43.4 yard average of 22 boots. Sammy Morrow, who has ousted McKown at fullback, has a fine 48.4 average of 12 boots. The battle between the schools is the first. Penn State's last Southwest Conference foe was Southern Methodist in the 1948 Cotton Bowl. The Nittany Lions tied the SMU squad led by Doak Walker, 13-13.

Welcome Alumni In the same. location— with the same management, the same hospitality . . . only the best Since 1926 Booters Meet Colgate; Seek 3d Win of Season The Red Raiders of Colgate will host the Penn State soccer eleven this afternoon at Hamilton, N.Y., as both teams play their fourth match of the '53 campaign.' Col gate has yet to win a match, while the Nittanies own a 2-1 log. Coach Mark Randall of Colgate has had his usual trouble this season of fortifying his squad with an effective scoring punch. The Raiders' first contest saw them playing a scoreless duel with the University of Rochester, N.Y. Renesselaer Poly. Inst. visited the Raiders' home grounds, and were surprised by Randall's soc cer eleven, when it narrowly missed defeat, 2-2. Colgate held a one-point lead over R.P.1., which is one of the strongest in the Raiders' schedule, with forty seconds in the game left. R.P.I. booted its game-tying score, but couldn't pull ahead to cop the contest in the overtime period. With two ties under their feet, the Raiders hosted Hamilton Col lege, but were edged 2-1. Four lettermen and seventeen sophomores have been the nu cleus for Randall's rebuilding program. Returning from last year's squad which won only two of a seven-game card are Captain "Hap" Merrick, a goalie, Laff Grisby, a wing, Frank Smith, halfback, and Al Sanford, a line man.

Mateer '22 Don Balihaser Junior, Center back, and Dick Keyes and Bill Riedell make up the all-soph half back line for Colgate. Fullbacks are John Grover and Charles Til lou, both sophomores. Merrick is the Raiders' mainstay at goalie. Randall has two lettermen on his forward wall with Grisby and Al Sanford. Ev Lewis, Dave Johnson, and Frank Smith are expected to help out in curing one of Randall's headaches. State will be looking for its third win in four contests. The Nittanies forward wall will in clude Hubie Kline, outside left, Jack Pinezich, inside left, Dick Packer, center forward, Dick Ma tacai or Mert Springer, inside right, Bill Norcik, outside right. Chuck Snyder will be carried for reserve line strength. The halfback line is again ques tionable to Coach Ken Hoster man. Ralph Hoffman or Galen Robbins will be at the left half back slot, and Gerry Gillispie or Ihor Stelynk at the right half back position. Paul Dierks will be at the center halfback slot while Captain "Hap" Irvin and Emil Borra will hold down the fullback positions. Red Harris will probably start for the Lions at goalie. take home the newest souvenir at —State— a 'Musical Football ' that • looks like a real pigskin minature with blue and white laces. • plays Penn State's victory song. • is sold for only $3.95 So Alumni remember the '53 Homecoming game with this novelty. at • GRIGGS PHARMACY College Ave. Opp. Old Main Lion's Lidlifter Against Panthers Starts at 10 a.m. Students, Homecomers and other fans will get their first and only look today at the men who will be roaming the gridiron for Rip Engle's football varsity in the next three years.. At 10 a.m. on the Beaver Field practice area, the Lion freshmen will take the field against Pitt. Admission will be 90 cents, but students will.be admitted with AA books. Both the Lions and Panthers will be lifting the lid on the season. It follows, thus, that predictions on the outcome would be useless, and Coaches Earl Bruce for the Lions and Steve Petro of Pitt are as much in the dark as anyone. Bruce, and his assistants Joe Gratson and Joe Yukica, stalwarts of the. 1952 Penn State varsity, have been drilling the squad since the middle of September. They have whipped up a good-looking outfit, which appears particularly strong in the line. From tackle to tackle, the startingforward wall will average about 210 pounds. Jack Calderone and Ignatius Hokaj, starting tackles, each tip the scales over 220. Guards Dick DeLuca and Ron Downie have im pressed in scrimmages each week against the varsity and will open against the Panthers. At center, Dan Radakovich will start in place of the injured Sam Valentine. Opening at ends will be Jack Arnst and Jack Fry. They will be the targets for passes from Milt Plum, Bill Colangelo and Bob Jen nings. Plum and Colangelo are expected to divide the kicking chores. The latter will probably see limited action because of a leg injury. The rest of the backfield foursome will probably consist of Ray Alberigi and Jim Lockerman at halfbacks and Dick McMillen at the fullback spot._ While the Lions would like to make their only home appearance of the season a successful one, the going will probably be tough. State, which plays its remaining game away against Navy on Nov. 7, will be facing a team in the Panthers that has not lost since 1949. Even with an abbreviated schedule sucllt as frosh gridders normally play, the record is an impressive one. Panther officials seem elated over the talent mustered, most of which is from Western Pennsylvania and the everstrong WPIAL. Coach Petro is not certain as to his starting lineup for the tussle, but Pitt was expected to arrive with a squad of from 25 to 30 players. Mitchell Named Manager Aid Frosh Gridders Horace H.
