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.

most of the season, have con
tinued to excel in one depart
ment: punting. 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.
Soccer Scoring Threat
Dick Packer, classy sophomore
kicker, loomS as Penn State's new
scoring giant in soccer. The 160-
pound Philadelphian booted three
goals in each of the first two vic
tories over Bucknell and Mary
land.

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.

back, and Dick Keyes and Bill

are John Grover and Charles Til

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

Jack Pinezich, inside left, Dick
Packer, center forward, Dick Ma

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.

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.
