The Nittany squad will play its sixth match of the season, and its fifth game on the road against Navy this afternoon. Coach Ken Hosterman and his thus-far success team will be out to dump the Middies and bring home their fifth win of the sea son. The Middies, however, will be hoping to improve their rec ord of only two wins, and. three setbacks. Past Improvement Stressed' During the past week, the us ual emphasis on passing, posi tional play, and all-around team coordination have been the themes of Hosterman’s drill ses sions. “We’ve also worked on keeping the ball on the ground more. Jn the Duke match, we had a lot of high looping boots,” Hosterman remarked. With sophomores Dick Packer and Dick Matacia on the Lion’s front line. Navy may be faced with the problem of tightening its defensive setup. Packer has netted seven goals this season, and Ma tacia is second in team scoring with six. Other scoring threats on the line for Penn State may be made by Jack Pinezich and Hubie Kline. Defense Tightens The Lion’s defense has indicated an upswing in effectiveness with two straight shutouts over Col gate and Duke, after allowing Army and Maryland to score a to tal of seven goals. Their offense in the Duke match also showed marked improvement. Five goals were netted by the Lions against Duke, while one was only tallied against Colgate and its outstand ing goalie, Captain Hap Merrick.

Who says so? Not Dykes himself, nor his wife nor any of his kinfolk. The tribute comes from the man who just fired Dykes as manager of the Philadelphia AthJ The obvious question then is why was Dykes fired and Eddie Joost named in his place. The answer as gathered from a luncheon chat with Roy Mack is that Dykes spent too much time following the wrong kind of ball. Dykes, it seems, was so de voted to golf he slighted the Philadelphia Athletics. So said Roy Mack. The executive vice president of the Atheltics agreed that Dykes wasn’t responsible for Bobby Shantz’ tearing loose a tendon in his pitching arm; Dykes wasn’t responsible for the injury that sidelined Joost from June 19 to the end of the season; nor was he to blame for the fading of Harry Byrd as an effective pitch er. Mack admitted, too, that Dykes didn't inject bursitis into the good left arm of Alex Kellner, and that Dykes didn’t put lead in the shoes of the slowest team in the big leagues. Dykes didn’t push Elmer Valo into a fence and dis able him for most of the season, THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Don Balihaser Sterling Center Army.

Dykes is 56 and Joost is only 37,” said Roy. Why not change the players instead of the manager? No answer. Koppisch, Columbia U.

Buddy Rowell Lion Halfback First Overtime IM Swimming Meet Recorded For the first time this year, an IM swimming meet had to go into “overtime” before a winner was decided, as Beta Sigma Rho de feated Sigma Phi Sigma, 21-20 last night at Glennland pool. The sixth event, used only in case of a tie, was a 90-yard med ley consisting of the backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle in that order. The extra event was made necessary when Joe Ginsburg and Douglas Salmon took first and third respectively in diving, en abling the Beta Sigs to draw even at 20-20. Outstanding for Beta Sigma Rho was Jerome Kotzen, who swam the freestyle event in 34.5 seconds. The Mighty Termites were splashed right out of the pool by the Sharks, 37-2, as the Termites forfeited the last three events. Pi Kappa Phi lost to Phi Kappa Sig ma, 29-12, in the other meet.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1953, Fordham Is Underdog For 4th Win Rip Engle’s charges, still un easy after coming within one point of upsetting a highly ranked and undefeated West Virginia eleven, will meet a slight pnder dog, twice-beaten • Fordham team tomorrow at Beaver Field. A cer emony, consisting of over 60 high school bands here for State’s fourth annual Band . Day, will highlight the intermission. Game time. ' -t for 1:30 p.m. The fans will no doubt once again be in for an aerial bombard ment, as they will be viewing two of the East’s top passers in the Lions Tony Rados and Fordham’s Roger Franz. ■ Rados, better known as the “Steelton Slingshot,” currently ranks first in the East among the collegiate passers, and holds down the number three post over the entire nation. Rados has abolished nearly every passing record in State’s grid record book. He has eight TD passes under his Blue and White belt, and needs only two more to set a new record in that department. Rados’ Passing Continues In the Lions’ latest skirmish, the ace signal-caller enjoyed the best day of his career. Although the Nittanies lost to the nation’s fifth ranking;team (at the time), the passing wizard clicked on 16 of 27 tosses for 247 yards and two six pointers. His overall record now stands at 64 completions in 125 attempts for. 822 yards and eight TD’s. 1 Rados’ favorite target, Jim Gar rity, also had a good day for him self. By grabbing seven passes for 51 yards, the Mohaca junior boosted his season’s total to 26 receptions—seven short of Penn State’s record. The- outstanding end holds the number one slot in the East in his department, and ranks fourth in the nation. Jones Averages 6 Yards | To balance his passing attack, the Nittany Lion head mentor, Rip Engle, has such stalwarts as Bill Straub, Lenny Moore, Buddy Rowell, Charlie Bloekson, . and Dick Jones to eat up the ground yardage. The latter is leading the pack with an even six yards gained per, carry. Jim O’Hara, who scouted the Rams, believes Ed Danowski’s eleven has hit its stride after a spotty start and predicts plenty of' trouble for the Lions. Bolstering the Fordham offense, which has developed a strong running game to complement its passing, are a trio of backs O’Hara describes as “good, fast, sure-footed runnels.” The three are Joe Yalch, Andy (Continued oh page seven )
