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.
Leonard Stars in Army
Bill Leonard, former Penn State
varsity football star, is playing
football now for the Fort Mon
mouth Signal Corp eleven. In a
recent game, he scored two touch
downs, one of which was an 80-
yard punt return.
Rad os, Garrity
National Ratings
Co-captain Tony Rados, who
was sixth nationally last week,
moved up to third place in the
NCAA forward passing ratings.
Rados’ pass-snatching end, Jim
Garrity, is fourth in the nation in
the pass receiving department,
moving up one position.
Rados 2d in TD's
j Penn State’s quarterback sen
sation, Rados ranks third with 68
completions in 125 attempts for a
51.2 percentage. He is now second
in the nation with eight aerial
touchdowns. Rados is trailing
Zeke Brathowski of Georgia and
Bill Garret of Stanford. The rat
ings. which are listed according
to completions, show that Brath
owski completed. 77 out of 148
attempts while Stanford’s ace
completed 72 out of 127. Garret
leads in the TD department with
ten.
Rados is also tenth in total of
fense. His record in six games
reads: 138 plays for 800 yards.
7 Short of Record
Garrity, who had been behind
his leaders by a considerable mar
gin last week, caught seven passes
against the Mountaineers Satur
day to ■ move up one position. He
has caught 26 passes for 292 yards
and two touchdowns. He is only
seven catches away from the Penn
State record set last year by Jesse
Arnelle.
Ratios and Garrity continue to
dominate the East in their respec
tive departments. This combina
tion has aided in placing Penn
State eighth in the nation in for
ward passing offense. The Lions
have completed 69 of 143 attempts
for a 48.3 percentage. Penn State
has averaged 142.8 yards per
game.
Because of Penn State’s fine de
fensive work, West ; Virginia,
which had been first in total of
fense and second -in rushing of
fense in the nation, is now rated
fourth and fifth respectively.
Coach Art Lewis’ gridders aver
aged 317.2 yards per game in rush
ing offense, but it is now down
to 274.8. ,

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

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.”

Baseball's
(greatest
Argument?
NEW YORK, (,m The argu
ments over whether Ted Williams
or Stan Musial is major league
baseball’s best hitter apparently
are ready to break out again.
the Boston outfielder re
entered the Marines in 1952, base
ball observers spent much of their
time comparing the two. Ted’s
followers claimed he was more of
a long ball threat. Those who fav
ored Musial, said he was the more
scientific batter he hit to all
fields.
including their 1953 perform
ances Williams shows a mark of
.348 and the Cardinal slugger is
close behind with .345. They far
outdistance the active big league
field in lifetime averages, figures
compiled by the Associated Press
revealed today.
Overall, Williams has pounded
out 1804 safeties in 5187 times at
bat. Stan shows 2223 hits in 6437
trips. Ted is ahead in home runs,
337 to 257, and runs batted in,
1298 to 1127. Musial leads Wil
liams in doubles, 467 to 367 and
triples 142 to 62.
Jackie Robinson, a .329 batter
in 1953, brought his lifetime mark
up to .319 to rank second to Mu
sial in the National League. Rich
ie Ashburn of the Philadelphia
Phillies is third with .312 follow
ed by Monte Irvin of the New
York Giants with .309.
Carl Furillo, the National
League’s 1953 batting champion, -
lifted his lifetime average seven
points. to .301. Mickey Vernon,
who won the American League
! title for the second time last sea
son, gained five points to bring
I his mark for 12 years to .285.
Besides Musial, only two other
major leaguers have more than
2000 hits. Enos Slaughter of the
Cards has 2063 and Bob Elliott of
the White Sox, 2061. Johnny Mize,
who announced his Retirement af
ter the last World Series, closed
his brilliant career with 2011 safe
ties and a .312 batting average.
