To Beat
Penn State will likely go into the Rutgers football skirmish Saturday as more than
two touchdown favorites. But if history repeats itself, Penn State will only squeak by
the Scarlet eleven. 1
Rutgers first met Penn State back in 1918
victory. The schools did not meet again until
its superiority a thing of the past
In 1950 at Beaver Field, wi
termined Lion squad eventual
Two years ago, Jim Monahan,
all-East fullback, was setting the
pace for Rutgers. At half-time the
Scarlet held a narrow 7-6 advan
tage. In third period, however,
Penn State's Bob Pollard galloped
71 yards for the final TD of the
game. State won out, 13-7.
Last fall, Rutgers was a 30-
point underdog. It was not even
rated a' chance. Still, Rutgers
struck for a touchdown midway
in the first period and kept its
6-0 lead until midway in third
period. This time Tony Rados,
•who did not start the game, came
off the bench and spearheaded
the Lions for a touchdown with!
his passing. The touchdown passj
covered 82 yards. Bill (Automatic)
Leonard’s partially-blocked con
version attempt just made it
over the bar and Rutgers was
once again on the short end, 7-6.
Coach Harvey Harman of Rut-!
gers is counting upon a quintet
of backs who averaged better
than five yards a try against Vir
ginia Tech and Princeton. They
are Captain Don Duncan and An
gelo lannucci, who smash the line
from the fullback slot, and half
backs Joe Triggs, Steve" Johnson
and Ron Mastrolia.
Rutgers has been hard-pressed
for a victory.- After the Scarlet
upset Virginia Tech in its opener,
it didn’t win again until last week
when Rutgers edged Lafavette,
14-13.
Whether the Scarlet can mus
ter enough strength to keep the
score down as it has done in the
past is the question. But one thing
is sure, anyone who saw any pi-e
-vious encounters between Rut
gers and Penn State would not go
out on the limb —by a comfortable
margin, anyway.

Soccer Star Scores
Against Teammates
Ralph Hoffmann, senior halfback for Penn State’s soccer squad
and a booter for Bill Jeffrey’s outstanding team last year, scored
against his present teammates!
Hoffmann, Rocklege’s contribution to the Nittany’s booting squad,
attended Ogontz Center in Philadelphia during his freshman year.
Playing inside right for Ogontz,
he tallied against the Lions dur
ing a rain-soaked contest.
During his sophomore year,
which was his first year on cam
pus, Hoffmann seriously sprained
his ankle and saw very little ac
tion. Last year, however, he won
his letter wniie playing for the
Lion squad which posted an im
pressive 7-1-1 log. This year he
has been a mainstay in the back
field for C > ach Ken Hosterman.
Was Quarterback
While in high school, Hoffman
won his letter quarterbacking his
Lower Moreland High School
football eleven, in his junior year.
He didn’t play for the team his
senior year.
His high school didn’t compete
in interscholastic soccer; however,
that didn’t stop Hoffmann from
gaining valuable game and fund
amental soccer experience.
He has been playing soccer
since he was 12 years old. He
played in a German independent
league in Philadelphia, the Erzge
berg Club, until he graduated
from high school.
Ralph, who is majoring in Hor
ticulture and plant breeding,
plans to take graduate work at
another school after his gradua
tion in June.
Head Chapel Usher
As a brother at Sigma Pi, he
has been secretary of the house.
He is also head Chapel usher,
and a member of the Horticulture
Club.
When asked about his most
vivid memories during his soc
cer career, Hoffman remarked,
“Scoring that lone goal against
State in my. freshman year gave
me a satisfying thrill.”
Asked about how he felt play
ing under Bill Jeffrey, former
Nittany soccer mentor, Hoffmann
said, “No one could be anything
but happy and proud to play for
‘Mr. Soccer’ himself. Who could
be better than he.”
The 5-foot, 8-inch halfback said
that he expected the final three
matches of the. current ’53 cam
paign to be the roughest the team
has faced this season. “We have
the material to win, rough teams
or not,” he commented.

Marion Fired;
Dykes Is New
Baltimore Boss
BALTIMORE, Nov. 11 (£>)—'The
Baltimore Oi-ioles today fired
Marty Marion as manager and
called in Jimmy Dykes to man
age the city’s new team in the
American League,
Dykes hirriself had been turned
out as manager of the -A’s only
last week in favor of shortstop
Eddie Joost and was to continue
with the Philadelphia club in
some advisory capacity. He had
managed the team three seasons,
finishing fourth' in 1952 for his
best year.
General Manager Art Ehlers in
replacing Marion with ' Dykes is
bringing to Baltimore a man with
whose work he became familiar
while Ehlers headed the Ath
letics’ front office.
Ehlers said Marion -was being
released outright with still a year
to go on his $30,000 a- year con
tract as manager. That makes
two unpaid former St. Louis
Browns’ managers on the Orioles’
payroll. Rogers Hornsby, former
Browns’ manager who was fur
loughed by Bill Veeck in favor
of Marion, is still drawing a
salary.
Ehlers’ announcement did not
come as too much of. a surprise.
It had been widely speculated
since Marion flew here, for a
meeting Monday that he would
be let out. Dykes’ name had’ been
prominent among his likely suc
cessors.

encounter. •
Coath Ken Hosterman said,
“What Temple holds in an- edge
oyer us as far as wins and losses
are concerned may be equalled
by the fact that we are playing on
our home'field.”
Reports from both coaches
whose teams have played Temple
and the game officials say Tem
ple has a strong eleven.
The Owls have displayed their
finesse on the field in recent
wins. Perhaps their most impres
sive victory was a fourth period
rally against Army.
Army and Temple both entered
the contest at' Temple Stadium
with unblemished records. Army
held the lead at the half, 1-0,-
and then took the lead again in
the third pefiod after the Owls
had tallied. With the score stand
ing 2-0 in the Cadets favor, Ed
Tatoian uncorked ah offensive
attack aaginst the Armymen.
Tatoian, outside left lineman,
scored four goals in th** ftm-th
period to hand Army its first loss
of the season, and to gain Tem
ple’s sixth win in a row.
The Owl’s center forward, Frank
Fanned, may also be out to give
the Lions something to think
about.
