Booters Face Owls
In 'Toss-up' Match
A highly rated Temple soccer squad will meet a talented and spirited Nittany eleven
at 2 p.m. today on the baseball practice field. Although the Owls have been given the edge
over the Lions, the factor that Coach Ken Hosterman & Co. are playing on their home
soil may make a decided difference in the outcome of the scoring.
“Temple looks to be the toughest team on our card this season,” Coach Hosterman re
marked last week. The Owls boast six straight wins without suffering a loss. They have de
feated Bucknell, Haverford, Drexel, Army, Delaware, and Colgate.
The 5-2 win of the Owls over
.Army may give a hint of what
the Lions will face this afternoon.
Although Temple had to rely on
a fourth period rally.of Ed.Tato
ian’s four-goal barrage, they did
hand Army a firm beating.
Lions Lose io Army
Penn State, however, was edged
by the Cadets at West Point 4-3.
The game was the third of the
season for the Nittany booters
and their third on the road. The
factor that they were oh foreign
ground might have contributed
to the only loss which 'they have
suffered this year.
Temple will not only boast a
spotless record, but also the play
of All-American Jack Dunn. Har
ry Smith, who reportedly played
exceptional ball against Army,
Bob Lame, and Frank Fanucci,
may be possible standouts for the
Owls offensive machinery.
Penn ■ State, however, isn’t
completely in' the dark when it
comes to picking an effective de
fensive or offensive machine. In
five' games, the Lions have com
piled 20 goals, and have shutout
three of their opponents.
This average of four goals a
game can be attributed to the
hustle of the entire squad and
the penetrating line play. With
Dick Packer and Jack Pinezich on
the forward wall assisted by Hu
bie Kline, Bill Norcik, and Dick
Matacia, State will be sure of
having potential fire power.
Harris Permits 7 Goals
The defense for the Lions has
been in capable hands during the
entire season with . Captain Hap
Irvin and Emil Borra at fullbacks,
and the outstanding play of Paul
Dierks, center halfback. Red Har
ris, goalie, has permitted just
seven goals to get by him in five
games. Army collected four of
these, and Maryland three.
Court Rules
NFL Can Use
TV Restrictions
PHILADELPHIA, (£>) A rul
ing. by a federal judge that the
National Football League legally
can restrict television coverage
of its games left the professional
sports world in a state of happy
confusion today.
Both football and baseball cir
cles appeared gratified over the
first portion of a four-part deci
sion yesterday by U.S. District
Judge Allan K. Grim.
Judge Grim—acting two days
after the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled professional baseball is a
sport and .therefore not subject to
the nation’s anti-trust 'laws —held
that the NFL has the right to ban
television of league games into
other league cities when home
teams are playing. ,
NFL Commissioner Bert Bell
hailed. the ruling and Ford Frick,
commissioner of baseball, said “it
is a fine ruling for football.”
However, neither Beil nor Frick
would comment on the effects on
each other’s domain of the re
maining three parts of Judge
Grim’s ruling.
The federal jurist termed “il
legal” three NFL rules which:
1. Restricted telecasts of games
into league cities when the home
team ,is playing out of town.
2. Restricted radio broadcasts of
NFL games.
3. Permitted the NFL commis
sioner to veto radio and TV con
tracts.
Bell said he felt that football
had “won the most important part
of its case” in being given the le
gal right to impose TV blackout
curtains around home games.
Grim said the restriction affect
ing telecasts while home teams
are home, provided in Article 10
of the league’s bylaws, was a
“reasonable one and a legal re
straint of trade.”

Huhie Kline ...
Soccerman Favors
A Baseball Career
During the past seven years, Hubie Kline, senior lineman for
Penn State’s soccer eleven, has practically been eating and sleeping
athletics. And if he keeps up the pace in the future, as he has in
the past, he will probably be successful in his desire, to play pro
fessional baseball and then a career in coaching.
Hubie’s athletic interest started
during his freshman year at Ben
ton High School in Benton. He
participated in three major‘sports
—basketball, soccer, and baseball.
.During his senior .year, he was
captain of all three sports, and
had collected twelve varsity let
ters.
His interest, however, was di
vided between soccer and base
ball. For his first two years on
Benton’s soccer squad, he tended
the net. Then, in the latter part
of his junior year and'for his en
tire senior year, he played center
forward.
Tallies 18 Goals
In nine games at the forward
line slot, he tallied eighteen goals.
“We had a powerful squad,” Kline
remarked, “but each year we just
couldn’t make the grade in the
playoffs.” During his sophomore
and junior years, Benton lost in
the playoffs to Millvale. Kline
played against Millvale ' and
against his present teammate,
halfback Gale Robbins.
Baseball took the spotlight as
far as the 176-pound shortstop
was concerned in the spring. In
his senior year, the Benton team
had similar luck as did the soccer
squad, and lost in the final round
of the Junior League of Pennsyl
vania to Olyphant, 2-1.
When Kline arrived on the Penn
State campus, and tried out for
the soccer team in his freshman
year, Coach Bill Jeffrey quickly
spotted him as tentative first
stringer for his soccer team’s for
ward wall. During his freshman
and sophomore years, Kline played
at the outside left slot. Then, in
his junior year, the injury jinx
hit him.
Injures Knee
Because of a torn cartilage in
his left knee, he missed several
of the team’s games during the
’52 campaign. This season, after
returning to his regular slot on
the line, he was again plagued
with the knee injury, during the
Lions’ loss to Army.
“I was in the hospital for four
days with that knee injury,”
Kline remarked. “It has been
bothering me for two seasons. I
doubt if it has had any affect on
my baseball play, though,” he
said.
Kline tallied once this year. -He
scored in State’s rout of Duke,
5-0, and assisted' in another tally.
He also has assists for the Mary
land and Colgate wins. “I like to
work with Jack Pinezich, particu
larly,” Kline commented. “He’s
the most versatile player I’ve
seen. It’s too bad that the injury
By ROY WILLIAMS
to his right ankle has kept him
under wraps thus far.”
When asked how he felt about
playing under Jeffrey Kline said,
“Bill Jeffrey could work with
players like no one else for whom
I’ve ever played.”
“He knew each player person
ally, and continually aided every
one by taking him aside and ex
plaining his faults. Bill always
emphasized the fact of having
a good boot by kicking from the
knee and not from the leg and/or
hip.”
“Ken Hosterman has been do
ing a fine job in working with
us,” Hubie remarked while prais
ing his new soccer mentor. “He
knows the game, and he knows
how to get his points across to
the men.”
Despite a colorful career on the
soccer field, Kline said that his
trip to Omaha with the baseball
team at the end of the ’52 spring
season was his greatest exper
ience.
Kline has been- playing third
base for two years pn Coach Joe
Bedenk’s team. The Lions were
underdogs in their first match
against Texas. Although' they
whipped the Texan, 5-3, they
were still rated underdogs when
they met Duke. The Lions took
the Bluedevils, 12-7, but lost their
fourth game, 2-3, to Missouri.
They then trounced Boston Col
lege, 14-5, to place third in the
tourney.
Hubie had seven for sixteen
while facing some of the best of
college pitchers, and posted a .444
batting average. He clipped off a
.347 average for his regular sea
son at State.
The six-foot Physical Educa
tion major may be under the eyes
of big league scouts this coming
baseball season.
While participating in athletics
and collecting varsity letters,
Kline has found time to belong to
the Druids, junior men’s hat so
ciety. He -is also a Brother at
Beta Theta Pi, and has served as
athletic chairman for his house.
With the Lions entertaining the
Owls of Temple today for the sec
ond home contest of the season;
Kline remarked about the
strength of Temple and the pos
sible outcome of the contest.
“Temple will be rough, there’s
now doubt about that, but if we
play against them the way we
played against Duke during our
first home contest we can take
them,” he said.

Out On a Limb
The Daily Collegian football prediction contest moves into the
home stretch today as the swamis square off in the next to last
week of competition.
Back field Coach Frank Patrick makes the selections for the
football coaches on today's 15-game list. The coaches, tied for third
place with assistant sports editor Dick McDowell, are six games
behind leader Sam Procopio, Daily Collegian Sports Editor. Pro
copio has an 80-25 total and a .762 average. Staff writer Herm
Weiskopf is in second place with a 75-30 mark and a .714 per
centage. The coaches and McDowell trail in the third spot with
74 correct choices and 31 misses. Their percentage stands at ~705.
The outcome of .today's selections could put the contest victory
on ice for Procopio. He leads Weiskopf by six games. However, it
is still possible for the other three to overtake him. The winner
of the contest will receive a newly developed mystic eight-ball,
designed especially for football predictors.
Several top-notch games are included on today's list. The
Army-Penn game and the Florida-Tennessee contest caused the
biggest controversy among the swamis.

Over Wolfpack
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 'l3 (TP)—
An underdog North Carolina
State football team will pin its
hopes for victory against Pitt here
tomorrow on sophomore quarter
back Eddie West.
The versatile 195-pounder will
direct the Wolfpack’s split-T at
tack against the Panthers before
an expected crowd of 15,000. He
has played 416 minutes out of a
possible 420 in seven games this
season. State’s unimpressive rec
ord Of one victory and six de
feats compares with the Panthers’
showing of 2-4-1.
Paul Blanda, Pittsburgh’s place
kicking specialist, will have a
chance to shatter a school record
for kicking the most extra points
during college play.

Notre Dame Coach
Hopes to Continue
•SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 13

in which his Fighting Irish thus
far are undefeated in six games.
He added:
“After 1955, Til await the pleas
ure of the officials at Notre Dame.
