PAGE SIX L Rise ons, Engle's Gridders Third In East; Army Is First Although they were defeated by West Virginia Saturday, Coach Rip Engle’s gridders had much to say when the NCAA and Lambert trophy committee released their weekly national 'ratings yesterday. Penn State, which held the fifth position in the East, rode up to third position (over Pitt and Navy which outranked the Lions last week). Penn State started the season in fourth place, then dropped one notch the second week. It remained there until yesterday. Army tops the East. ' W. Virginia Drops to 7th In AP Poll NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (IP) —A couple of teams that were rated among the first ten in college football earlier this season get their chances to return to the up per bracket this week. Notre Dame, with a stronger hold than ever on the top rating it has held all season, plays Penn sylvania at Philadelphia Satur day. The teams with the brightest chances of knocking off the lead ers appear to be Michigan and Ohio State. The latter is rated 16th, in this week’s Associated Press ranking poll; the former is tied with Southern California for 17th. Only a few weeks ago both were ranked in the first ten. Michigan meets fourth-ranked Illinois, the only undefeated team left in the Big Ten. Ohio State takes on Michigan State, the team that ran second to Notre Dame until it was bumped off by Pur due a couple of weeks ago and now is ranked fifth. After last week’s decisive vic tory over Navy, Notre Dame poll ed the season’s strongest first place vote —9o of 134 votes. Maryland, with 21 first, contin ued in second place with 1087 points and, Baylor held third with 906. Behind them were Illinois, 782; Michigan State, 553; Georgia Tech, 545; West Virginia, 504; Oklahoma, 499; UCLA, 217; and Duke, 217. Georgia Tech advanced two places in the ratings and Michi gan State, Oklahoma and UCLA one each since last week as West Virginia, only a one-point winner over Penn State, dropped from fifth to seventh. Maryland and West Virginia figured to win this week’s games rather handily from George Washington and Virginia Tech, re spectively. UCLA has an open date. The other first-tenners may be in for trouble—possibly more upsets. The second ten: 11. Stanford 183; 12. Mississippi 180; 13. Minne sota 171; 14. Kentucky 159; 15. Auburn 97; 16. Ohio State 84;; 17- 18. Michigan and Southern Cali fornia 79; 19. Texas 51; 20. Ala bama 41.

Phone 4994 ™F DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Booters Two schedule changes will affect the course of events this week for Coach Ken Hosterman and his soccer eleven. The second' home match of the season for the Lions originally set for today was can celed last month after a request from North Carolina University. The second change in the soccer array of opponents was made after a request from Annapolis. The game has been' changed from Saturday to Eriday of this week. It will be played at Annapolis. By virtue of a fourth period rally, and three goals by Dick Matacia, the Lions routed the Bluedevils of Duke, who made the Saturday homecoming a rug ged contest for the Lions during the first three periods. As Hap Irvin, Captain and de fensive fullback for the Nittany soccer eleven, put it after the game, “The breaks were with us for a change. We were clicking very well during the majority of the game, and the plav of Dick Packer, the center forward, and our wings was outstanding.” Coinciding with a. strong de fense. the Lion’s offensive attack proved to be very deadly. The win was the fourth for the Nit tanies in five starts, and their third shutout. Duke’s eleven was held to only fourteen shots at State’s net, while Penn State had forty op portunities to dent the Bluedevils goal. The two teams both had five corner shots, two of which re sulted in tallies for Hosterman’s squad. After' the game, Jim Duyes— Captain of the Duke squad and the'soccer coaches’ choice for All- American last year remarked— “We were just too' tired to put our all into the game in the fourth period. But State does have a ter rific team, no one can deny that.” Duys, who was named to the first team of the Southern Con ference club last year, continued, “We’ve traveled over 500 miles since Tuesday, and after edging Franklin and Marshall yesterday,’ 2-0. I guess we couldn’t keep pace Dick Maiacia High Scoring Lineman in at '^S§ofi& h Hap Irvin. Lion Soccer Captain Seek Navy with this fast-moving State squad.” The Lion’s victory marred the Duke win and lost log for the second time this season. Mary land did the trick by a 5-1 score. The loss to the Nittanies marked the first time that Duke had been shutout this year. v Duke worked the ball close to the Lion net several times, but often failed to even attempt a score. The usual scpi'ing power of the Bluedevils of passes from outside left Rudy D’Emilio to center forward Fernando Almeida wasn’t clicking. Paul Dierks, junior center half back who played brilhantly on Saturday, remarked after the game, “This Duke squad had sev eral excellent foreign . players, and they made it tough for us. Our forward line loosened up very well, and our positional play was greatly improved.” IM Swimming Record Posted Season records continue to fall as the intramural swimming pro gram heads into its second week. Last evening Duke Miller of the independent Penguins cut three tenths of a second off the old mark as he covered the 60-yard free-style course in 32.1.
