PAGE six Action In IM's Fireballs Keep Winning Streak By RON GATEHOUSE Amid an overdose of precipitation and a muddy Beaver Field, a well organized and hard running Fireball team last night rolled „o its 13th consecutive victory in intramural independent touch foot- ball competition, playing •an 18-6 jumper combination. The quarter-final win was the third recorded' by the Fireballs during the current season. It was once again signal-call ing Walt Laska who led his team mates to a winning cause, al though he was given sterling sup port by speedy Joe Slotnick and a hard-charging Fireball forward wall. Both teams tallied within three minutes of the opening stanza. After Laska returned the Broad jumpers' initial kickoff to his own 15, his pass on the first play from scrimmage was intercepted by the losers' Jim Kersner who advanced to the Fireball eight. After the Broadjumpers failed to advance in three downs Chuck Rogan then faded to the 15 and rifled an aer ial to Bill Protzek for the 'Jump ers first and only score, and the second six points tallied against the winners in the pas t three years. The Rogan to Chuck Belan extra-point pass attempt was broken up. Laska returned the Broadjumper kickoff to his own 19. Advancing four yards short of the needed 20 for a first-and-ten, the winners tried a fourth down gamble. Their passing ace hit Slotnik on the Broadjumper 35 and the lanky gridder scampered to the 25. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the play advanced the ball to the 10. On fourth down, Laska once again found Slotnick, this time for 10 yards and six points. Laska's pass attempt for the sev enth point failed. Laska followed the opening sec ond-period kickoff with a 20 yard heave to Slotnick on the midfield stripe. The high-scoring back out distanced any would-be pursuers and accounted for the Fireballs' second tally. Again Laska's extra point attempt went incomplete. In the closing minutes of the; contest, following a brilliant pass ing exhibition by the winners' aerial artist, Chick Young gal loped ten yards to close the even ing's scoring and chalk up the Fireballs 18th marker. For the third time, a Laska point-after touchdown pass missed its mark. all • ' .

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA une of defeat to a hopeful Broad- Public Gets Chance to See Gish! on TV MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 27 (10— A nationwide television audience Saturday gets a long-awaited full game look at All-America Paul Giel in the NCAA approved game of the week between Minnesota and Pittsburgh. The classy Minnesota tailback is fresh from a whirlwind perform ance against Michigan which drew acclaim from a regiment of ex perts as one of the greatest in Midwest football history. The Gophers' startling showing against Michigan pulled them out of the obscurity of a lack-luster early season and back into the ranks of the leading football pow ers. In Pittsburgh, they're con fronted with a team hobbled by inconsistency but still possessing enough power to give anybody trouble. The big question Saturday will be whether Pitt's charging but erratic forward wall can harness Giel's remarkable running talent and harass him enough to curb his passing. The right side of Pitt's line is one of the best in the business, shored up by 6 foot 3, 210 pound tackle Eldred Kraemer and 6 foot 3 right end Dick Deitrick. But Pitt Coach Red Dawson has, had plenty of grief from the other side, especially at guard and tackle. And Giel last week shred ded the Michigan left side. The major Pitt running threat is fullback Bobby Epps, a sawed off 5 foot 8 blaster who hurt Notre Dame consistently. Only sophomore on Penn State's starting line is Otto Kneidinger. of Bellwood, who fills the right tackle position. Scatback Jones Is Nittany Stalwart • Good scatbacks are few and far between and ownership of one is a rare thing indeed. The Nittany Lions have been fortunate, over the past few years, in having their share of these gridiron "dia monds." A boy who takes a back seat to no one in this department is Dick Jones. Dick, who has affection ately been tabbed "M igh t y Mouse, Jonesie," and many other monickers, has been a mainstay, operating out of the halfback post, of Rip Engle's stalwarts for the past three seasons, Many a tight ball game has been split wide open by his de ceptive running. Given his head in an open field, 'Dick leaves the frustrated opposition far behind like Native Dancer leading the hopefuls to the post. Jonesie migrated from Belle vue, where he was a standout backfield star. His current cur riculum in physical education hints to further athletic prowess —maybe coaching. Probably one of the best re membered runs by the "mighty mouse" was last year's back breaking touchdown against, Pennsylvania. With a tie ball game just about in the record books, Dick took a handoff from I Rados, from four yards out, and went through the Quakers de fense like a vacation goes through State College. The Penn boys re member Jones as being a thorn, in their side all afternoon. Although one of those to suf fer through this year's version of "iron man football," Dick never theless showed his mettle in this year's battle with the Terriers from Boston University. Finding himself loose near the end of the first half, Dick led the "Terriers" on a m err y chase. Seems he changed his direction a number of times. The men from Boston U., during this wild romp from sideline to sideline, must have thought that the ghost of Red Grange had invaded the Terrier campus. By the time Richard was upended, it was discovered that he had gained sixty-one yards. Dick's possession of "glue fing ers" have proved invaluable time aand again. In the above men tioned Boston U. game, he cul minated his performance by snar ing a TD pass in the end gone. This 5'9", 170 lb. senior is a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. He is also a member of the ad vanced Army ROTC and will probably spend a portion of his career in Uncle Sams service, af ter graduation. The four remaining teams on the Lions schedule, will have their hands full on the coming Satur day afternoons. Keep your eye on number 44—otherwise known as the "mighty mouse" express. Lenny Moore, Reading swiftie, is Penn State's leading ground gainer in his first season of col lege football, By JORN LAWRENCE A's to Replace \rt Ehlers PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27 (?P)-- The two key, men in the owner ship of the Philadelphia Athletics said today they will hire a new general manager to succeed Art Ehlers, now head man of the Bal timore Orioles.
