Gridders, Soccermen in
Lions Rated'
Tough, Seek
Fifth Win
“Expej. '■ =xice, size, and depth. A
real toughie,” is Penn State’s rat
ing as far as football Coach Har
vey Harman of Rutgers is con
cerned. Although there is little
doubt in most sports -minded spec
tators that the Nittany Lions are
always a “toughie,” it can also
be said that Rutgers'is a problem
for the Nittany Lions.
Which, answer will hold true
for this year’s contest will be
found . tomorrow at New Bruns
wick, N.J., where the Lions will
meet their next-to-last football
opponent.
The Nittany Lion squad left by
train this morning for Rutgers,
to seek its fifth win of the cam
paign
Line Must Hold
As he did against the Rams of
Fordham, Coach Rip Engle will
have to depend upon his forward
wall to halt the SGarlet backfield.
It was apparent that' the Rams’
passing attack hurt the Lions,
but their potential running at
tack had little say because of the
fine line performance. The 1953
Rutgers squad is noted for its
running.
Harman has 13 veteran back
field men and several promising
sophomores to add to 12 return
ing letterwinners in the line.
Duncan is Versatile
The most outstanding player on
the Scarlet squad is Captain Don
ald Duncan. He is the strongest
man in the veteran backfield. A
two-way fullback with equal
ability on offense and defense,
Duncan was New Jersey’s “out
standing high school athlete” in
1949. A 200-pound six-footer, he
rates as one of the East’s most
versatile backs.
Duncan has exhibited his versa
tility as a blocker, linebacker,
punter, and ground gainer. He
also handles the points after
touchdowns, as well as calling
defensive signals.
Fordhasn Tramples Scarlet
Fordham, the only foe which
played both the Lions and Rut
gers, downed the Scarlet in a one
sided 40-13 decision. Aside from
the Fordham . defeat Princeton,
(9-7), Colgate (33-13), and Brown
(27-20) were victorious over Har
man’s eleven. Rutgers’ two tri
umphs have come against Vir
ginia Tech, 20-13, and Lafayette,
14-13.
Lion Scout, Frank Patrick, be
lieves that Rutgers is better than
its 2-4 record indicates. “It’s a
simple case,” Patrick explained,
“of a team having the potential
but not being able to sustain it.”
Valentin! Manages Track
Manager Of the 1954 track and
field team is Mario S. Valentini,
of Bronx, N. Y. His three first as
sistants will be David R. Young.
Bethlehem; Andrew W. Staures,
Indiana; and Bruce E. Vogelsing
er, Dunmore.
Holds Record
Penn State’s gigantic end, Jesse
Amelle of New Rochelle, N. Y.,
last year cracked the former Lion
high of 31 pass receptions in one
season by snaring 33 passes good
for 291 yards and two touchdowns.

NFL 'Blackouf
Ruling Upheld
By U.S. Court '
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12 (IP)—
The National Football League’s
right to “blackout” telecasting of
league games which might com
pete with home games was up
held today in a ruling by the U.S.
District Court.
NFL Commissioner Bert Bell
promptly said the league won “its
most important point” in the gov
ernment’s anti-trust suit attack
ing the league’s controls over tele
vision and radio broadcasts.
But the league lost three other
points. Outlawed by Judge Alan
K. Grim were the league’s:
1. Restrictions on telecasts of
games to league cities when the
home team is playing out of town.
2J Restrictions on radio broad
casts of league games.
3. Rule that Commissioner Bell
could veto radio and television
broadcasting contracts to enforce
radio and television restrictions.
Bell, after reading the decision
in the two-year-old case, said he
would need time to study “the re
strictions which the order of the
court will impose upon the
league” but added the court “has
understood the vital need of pro
fessional football today, namely,
the protection' of our home gate
if we are to continue our exis
tence.”
Any appeal, Bell said, “is up to
our lawyers.”
What all the legal terminology
means is .this: For example, the
league' can prohibit the telecast
ing of the game between Cleve
land and San Francisco into Phil
adelphia Sunday when the Phil
adelphia Eagles are at hom <=
against Baltimore.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Football Coach Rip Engle today
singled out what he calls his “for
eign team” for special mention.
“Without these boys,” the Lion
coach said, “we’d have no football
team.”
The 14 gridders named by Engle,
the vast majority of them soph
omores, each week study the next
opponent’s scouting report and
represent that team in daily
workouts.
“I’ve never had a better bunch
for. spirit and attitude,” Engle
said. “They’ve been doing the job
at a great personal sacrifice, and
without them I question wheather
we could get ready for an oppon
ent.”

Werner Points to Pitt
As IC4-A Darfcfiorse
Two big questions will be decided Monday by the IC4A cross
country championship run in Van Cortlandt Park, N.Y.:
Who will be the team champion? .
Who will be the individual champion?
Although Nittany Coach Chick Werner said that he believe.
Syracuse has the best chance of
copping the team title, he pointed
out yesterday that one squad that
has been virtually overlooked is
the Pitt Panthers. The Smokey
City harriers have- compiled an
amazing record, but because their
competition has not been too stiff
they have been almost forgotten.
The Panthers went through an
undefeated season, bowling over
nine opponents—eight by a per
fect score of 15-40.- In only one
meet, against Army, did an op
ponent break into the Pitt hold
on the top five positions.
There are some standout con
tenders for individual honors.
Werner once again pointed to the
Orange to take the laurels here.
Ray Osterhout is the man to beat
Werner said.
However, he pointed out that
such top-flight hill-and-dalers as
Barry of Villanova, Lyle Garbe
of Michigan State and Byrne of
St. John’s will be definite threats:
Two outstanding contenders, Red
Hollen and Lamont Smith, are
Penn Staters.
Last year Hollen finished sixth
and Smith 28th. Osterhout placed

Lions Host
Owls in 2d
Home Tilt
Penn State’s soccer eleven
will host Temple University
tomorrow afternoon in . the
second home soccer match of
the ’53 campaign. The home
match for the Nittanies will
be the sixth match of the
scheduled nine games.
■ Two of the Lions’ games were
canceled this season. The North
Carolina match, which was “ to
have been the Lions’ second home
match of the season, was - can
celed after a' request from the
Tarheels.
Navy Match Canceled
The hooters’ fifth . contest on
the road at Annapolis, Md.,- last
week . against the Middies was
dropped from the season for good
because of a sudden eight-inch
snowstorm.
Temple’s visit tomorrow will be
the second of three home games
for Penn State. The Quakers of
Pennsylvania will visit State Col
lege next Saturday for the team’s
final engagement this season.
'Game of the Season'
Experts have tabbed the Owl-
Lion match as “the soccer game
of the season.” Temple will boast
an impressive log of six wins. The
Owls haven’t lost a match this
season.
Coach Pete Leanness of Tem
ple says that he has the strongest
team that he has ever put on. a
soccer field. Both officials and
opposing coaches who have- seen
.Temple agree with Leanness.
Owls Seek Revenge
Besides trying to keep a firm
grasp on its spotless record, Tem
ple’s eleven will also be seeking
revenge over the Nittany squad.
Last year the Lions won their
sixth game, and their third in a
row, at the expense of the Owls
at Temple Stadium, 1-0.
J ack Pinezich took the. honors
as he booted State’s only and
winning goal through the Owl’s
mosquito net in the third period.
Temple displayed its usual power
house of defensive skills, but
couldn’t hold back Penn State’s
offensive finesse.
