Coach Rip Erigle ended his fourth season at the Nittany
Lion helm in fine fashion last Saturday as his gridders upset
the Panthers of Pitt, 17-0. Despite the fact that his 1953 sea
sonal record reads only 6-3 compared to the 7-2-1 log for
1952, it’s quite noticeable that Engle missed winning seven
straight-by one point. That was the controversial game
against West Virginia, 20-19.
With Saturday's finale dotting
the win column the Lions were
lifted in the Associated Press
ratings. Not far (28th), but the
fact remains they are listed.
Engle’s team, won the game it
Wanted most. Rip remarked. after
the win:
"I lenew the boys wouldn't
let me down, but I did not
. think we'd win so decisively."
If an individual award were to
be made at this game, there would
be something like ten players
who would be contenders. Pitt’s
nomination would be Henry Ford.
Penn State’s? Quarterback Tony
Rados, ends Jim Garrity arid Don
Malinak, linebacker Pete Schod
erbek, halfbacks Lenny Moore,
Wayne Wolfkeil, Buddy Rowell,
and Rori Younker, tackle Rosey
Grier, and fullback Bill' Straub:
Rados received compliments
from the radio announcers who
said: "Rados has lived up to
his reputation. We weren't sur
prised."
The same radio announcers
said: “We heard a lot about Len
ny Moore. Now We know what
they mean.”
Schoderbek and Straub must be
given consideration mainly for
their defensive operations. In fact,
both were listed by reporters as
the game’s “unsung heroes.”
Rowell and Younker receive
the nod on their fine running
performances. Wolfkeil certain
ly ended his career in fine style,
blocking three "sure" TD pass
es. Engle's great tackle, Grier,
won the loudest applause from
the 42,277 fans when he was
taken out late in ihe game.
Grier had a noi-too-impressive
showing at the start of the sea
son but quickly made ihe one
platoon change in All-Ameri
can style.
Garrity, who made a sensational
catch at the West Virginia con
test, made one against the Pan
thers that topped it. One. reporter
exclaimed: “That Garrity is play
ing a banged-up ballgame.”
It was a great season and con
gratulations are in order to Rip
Engle, his excellent coaching
staff (A 1 Michaels, Jim O'Hora,
Sever Torelii, Joe Paierno,
Frank Patrick, and Earl Bruce),
and the football players.

New Boss
NEW YORK. Nov. 23 (JP)
Brooklyn is expected to name its
new manager tomorrow and your
guess is still'as good as the next
fellow’s.
Since the Dodgers and Chuck
Dressen parted company after the
World Series, the rumor mills
have , been grinding out names by
the bushel.
Once it was Pee Wee Reese who
seemed a sure shot fOr the big
job. But Reese let it be known
that he wasn’t intrigued by a
player-manager deal.
After Reese spoke out, the man
hunt broadened. Old familiar
names and some not even newly
familiar were dropped into print.
.Frankie Frisch, a TV performer
last year, was mentioned in the
papers.’ So was Bill Terry, the ex-
New York Giant.
Terry told reporters he hadn’t
been asked but, if he should be,
would not take a one-year con
tract.
It was the one-year contract
that got Dressen in the middle.
Dresseii hooked on with Oak
land of the Pacific Coast League
but three coaches still are avail
able. They are Billy H erpn a n,
Cookie Lavagetto and Jake Pit
ler.
In- the farm system such names
as Walter Alston and Clay Hop
per have been mentioned. Jackie
Robinson has some support.
Eddie Sawyer, former Philadel
phia manager, and Lefty O’Doul
also were on the rumor list.
Add Luke Sewell, Marty Mar
ion and you have a good-sized
list. The new manager may be
somebody never mentioned.
Graduate engineers are much in de
mand. But, as your placement bureau
will verify, certain types of engineer
ing aptitudes are in considerably
greater demand than others.
For example, when more than 450
leading companies throughout the
country contacted a leading engineer
ing college for prospects, six different
engineering specialties were frequent
ly mentioned—mechanical, chemical,
electrical, industrial, civil and metal
lurgical. But the specialty most in de
mand was mentioned four times as
often as the least.

Lions Shutout Penn,
6-0, In Final Game
With sophomore Dick Packer leading the scoring parade with four goals, the Nittany
soccer squad closed its season by shuting out Penn, 6-0, in one of the best games the Lions
have played all season,
“If the boys had played the same kind of game against Temple,” Coach Hosterman said,
“the final score might have been a different story.” Temple shut the Lions out, 2-0, last week.
Penn State’s first four goals
were netted by Dick Packer, cen
ter forward. After the first period
resulted in neither team rallying,
Packer tallied two in the second
period. His first goal was a head
shot from- eight yards out, after
he received a corner kick from
Bill Norcik, outside right.
Packer Scores 3rd
With the start of the second
half, by virtue of Packer’s 'two
goals, the Lions held a 2-0 lead.
“The first half was bitterly con
tested by Penn,” Hosterman re
marked.' " i
In the third quarter, Packer
again scored on an eighteen-yard
er to give the Lions a 3-0 lead.
The roof fell in on the Quakers
in the fourth period, when three
goals were scored against them
by State’s fast-moving forward
line. Packer scored the first of
those three goals for the Lions
with a six-yard boot for his fourth
of the game, and the Lions’ fourth.
“Packer had been working on
turning and booting the ball in
one motion,” Hosterman remarked.
“He finally succeeded in getting
the form of the move, and booted
two of his best goals of the sea
son. They were both eighteen
yard kicks.”
Maiacia, Norcik Score
Penn State put the game on ice
as Dick Matacia, another sopho
more lineman, and Senior Nor
cik each tallied. Matacia’s shot
was an eight-yard head shot,
while Norcik netted .a goal on a
difficult four-yard shot from the
side'.
Penn only had sixteen shots at
the Lion goal, while twenty-four
scoring attempts were made by
the Nittanies,
The Lions had to work for their
win, however,' as the Quakers
weren’t as easy as the score in
dicates. Coach Hosterman was
particularly impressed -by the
performance of Penn’s goalie,
Warren Youngblood.
After posting a 5-2 record in
his first season as a soccer coach,
Ken Hosterman said, “We had
a good season, but it might have
been better if we would have been
able to meet North Carolina, and
Navy. That’s not saying we would
have added them to our wi n col
umn,,but at least we would have
had a chance to improve our rec
ord.”
