Snow Delays Lion
Wernermen Seek
Navy Game
Rescheduled
For Today
By ROY WILLIAMS
A sudden snow storm which
hit the Eastern seaboard in
the Philadelphia - Baltimore -
New York area early Friday
morning caused the tempor
ary delay of Penn State’s
scheduled soccer tilt with Navy
at Anpapolis, Md., yesterday.
The ...storm blanketed the Mid
die’s field with four inches of
snow. Yesterday’s afternoon re
port from Navy said that the two
teams will try to play today if
the storm recedes and the play
ing field can satisfactorily be
cleared of the snow.
The Lions are looking for their
fifth win of the seoson in six
starts, and their fourth on-the
road victory. The Middies own a
two and three chart.
Coach Ken Hosterman and his
sixteen-man traveling squad were
originally told that the game was
' cancelled. As the Lions prepared
to leave Annapolis by train, Navy
then. announced that they would
try .to clear the field in order to
play the game today.
The Nittany squad will be hop
ing that the weatherman will per
mit them to meet the Navy eleven.
The Middies were the boys that
handed.. Penn State its only loss
of the season last year, 3-2, when
they visited the Nittany’s field.

lenger Johnny Bratton kept
Champion Kid Gavilan waiting
at their examination and brief

welterweight title bout at the Chi
cago Stadium.
And the sullen disregard the
two had for each other during the
picture-taking hoopla surround
ing the formal contract-signing
before. the Illinois State Athletic
Commission seemed to promise a
bitter third meeting in the'ring.
The contract calls for Gavilan
to get 40 per cent and Bratton 20
per cent of the approximate $14,-
000 net the sponsoring Interna
tional Boxing Club could get from
a capacity crowd of some 19,000.

Pete Schoderbek ... v
Nittany Guard is Master
Of Defensive Line Play
I By RON GATEHOUSE
When a rabid grid fan attends a football game these days,
whether it be high school, college, or pro caliber, he usually concen
trates most of his speculation on the backs. And, following each
skrimish, who is discussed most? Of course, the backs.
What about the other seven men on the lineup? Surely they
must have something to do with
making a tearA function. Due to
the fact that the lines of each
team are usually one big mass of
over-anxious gridders on each
play, only the trained eye can dis
tinguish between the various line
men
For the men in this class (line
men) who play good, hard foot
ball game after game, and yet go
unnoticed except by teammates,
the opposition, the coaching staff,
and 'the well versed fans, a very
appropriate name has been coined
—“unsung heros.”
If you happen to be one of the
more observant spectators, you
have probably witnessed number
61 in action. He’s hard-charging,
bone crushing, Pete Schoderbek,
left guard on offense, and defens
ive middle line-backer.
From 'Promised Land'
The locomotive-like gr i dd e r
hails from Duquesne in the region
often tabbed by college football
scouts as their “promised land.”
Ironic in the sense of Pete’s above
grid classification is that his
hometown address is 1014 Hero
avenue.
The 190 pound, 6 foot senior is
enjoying his fourth year of foot
ball at Statfe. A sure winner on
any team, Pete has exhibited
sterling play in his four year stay
in the Nittany Valley. A shoulder
injury received in a skirmish last
year .hampered him most of the
season. The injury was again in
flicted in the Penn encounter
early in the season, but has failed
to keep the stocky gridder out of
action.
Upon graduating and complet
ing his two years of required serv
ice with Uncle Sam, the science
major plans to enter the oil busi
ness somewhere in the Midwest.
Outstanding Against Penn
The likeable Pete considers his
best games over the past two sea
sons to be both Penn encounters,
with last year’s standing as the
biggest thrill of his football ca
reer. The story goes that one of
Pete’s five brothers had played
an. outstanding game for the Mid
dies of the Naval Academy when
they met the Quakers, the week
before the Lions invaded the “City
of Brotherly Love.”
Naturally, both the opposition
and the fans were anxious to see
how well ‘brother Schoderbek’
would do. Needless to say, the
Nittany stalwart was continually
clogging Penn’s grid machine
throughout the game. Inciden
tally, the Navy-Penn score was
14-14. The final State-Penn tally
was 13-7. Need we say more?
In closing, there is but one com
ment. Pete Schoderbek is one of
our own Nittany Lions’ serving as
an excellent example of the many
‘unsung heros’ throughout the na
tion.
Soccer Tilt;
sth Victory
Lions to Face Jaspers;
Eye Unbeaten Season
Manhattan’s cross-country team
may have started the season like
“A Slow Boat to China,” but the
Jaspers are now rolling along like
“The Wabash Cannonball.”
George Eastment’s harriers
pulled an upset victory recently
in the metropolitan intercolle
giate cross-country meet. The
Jaspers had entered the title run
with an unimpressive dual meet
record. But they once again per
formed at their best when the
chips were down.
Chick Werner, Lion coach, left
early yesterday morning with a
seven-man squad for today’s meet
with the New Yorkers. Captain
Red Hollen, Lamont Smith, Doug
Moorhead, Jim Hamill, Ted Gar
rett, John Chillrud and Ed Steel
will face Manhattan ori Van Cort
landt Park’s five-mile course.
Hollen Paces Workout
Hollen paced the Nittany hill
and dalers in a workout on Wed
nesday. He covered the 2%-mile
run in 10:26.5. Smith and Moor
head were third and fourth with
times of 10:39 and 10:41.
Jim Deßraggio finished fourth
in the metropolitan intercollegiate
race with a time of 26:51 and
paved the way for Manhattan’s
victory.’The Jaspers captured the
crown for the sixth time in seven
years. They had'won it five sea
sons in a row before St. John’s
defeated them last year.
Jaspers Show Balance
Good balance enabled Manhat
tan to recapture the title. Th 6 five
Jaspers who figured in the scor
ing finished among the top 11
in the six-team race. Charley
Saaga, Bob Goodwin, Bob Kubic
and Bill St. Clair nailed down
the eighth, ninth, tenth and 11th
positions in the, meet. St. Clair
finished less than one minute be
hind Deßraggio with a clocking
of 27:42.
St. John and NYC tied for sec
ond; Fordham was fourth and
Columbia fifth. A squad from
CCNY also entered; however, five
men did not finish for the City
College team.
Last Dual Meet
This will be the final dual meet
of the campaign for the Blue and
White. On Nov. 17 the Lions will
compete on the Van Cortlandt
Park course again, this time in the

Terry Headed
For Brooklyn's
Managership
VERO BEACH, Fla., Nov. 6 (/P)
Reports circulated in this baseball
town today that Bill Terry, for
mer Ne wYork Giants’ manager,
now a Florida business man, is the
latest hot prospect as manager of
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The report was given credence
by the arrival of Walter O’Malley,
Dodgers’ president, for an inspec
tion tour of the club’s big Vero
Beach spring training camp. He
was accompanied by Fresco
Thompson, vice president.
“Is Bill Terry coming to see
you while you’re here?” O’Mal
ley was asked.
“If he does I’ll be glad to see
him.”
“Are you going to offer him
the manager’s post?”
“I have nothing to say about
that,” replied O’Malley.
“The manager’s job has not
been offered to anyone and there
fore nobody has rejected it.”
He declined to name any likely
prospects.
Terry isn’t alone in the list of
possibilities. Others heard in pass
ing are Bucky Harris of the Wash
ington Senators; Jimmy Dykes,
recently with the Philadelphia
Athletics; Frankie Frisch; Lefty
O’Doul, manager at San Diego,
and Clay Hopper and Walt Alston,
Dodger farm system managers.

travel to Forth Worth next year

IC4A championship run.
Several streaks are at stake in
today’s encounter:
A five meet win skein by the
Lions will be under fire.
A four meet win skein over
Manhattan dating back to 1949
will also be in jeopardy.
