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.

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.
