Booters
• Coach Ken Hosterman has named a veteran-laden soccer
lineup for Penn State’s scrimmage session this afternoon
against, the Cosmopolitan Club. Game time is set for Ip.m.
on the golf course.
The Cosmopolitan team will be made up of players, from
Australia, Ethiopia, Iran, India, South America, Norway,
Greece,. Germany, and . Mexico.
Nine lettermen, returning from last year’s team which
posted a 5-2 chart, will be the nucleus for Hosterman’s first
string. A junior and a sophomore,
playing his first season of varsity
ball, have been chosen for the
remaining two slots.
At the opening kickoff, the
Lions’ will field a line boasting
five returnees from last fall. Cap
tain Jack Pinezich will be back
at the outside left slot, flanked by
Joe 1 Mijares at the outside right
position. Three juniors will han
dle the mid-line chores with Dick-
Packer at center forward, Dick
Matacia at inside left, and Milt
Springer at inside right.
In the backfield, Hosterman will
open with two converted half
backs from last season at the full
back slots. Seniors Paul Dierks
and Galen Robbins have been
running the defensive positions
in practice, but have not faced
any outside teams.
A sophomore, a junior, and a
senior have received the nod from
Hosterman for the three halfback
positions. Steve Flamporis, the
ohly sophomore scheduled to
break into the Penn State lineup,
will be at right halfback. Senior
Gerry Gillispie- will be at half
back, with Ihor Stelnyk playing
center halfback.
Hosterman just motioned as if
he was flipping a coin when asked
abput the goal-tending position.
Both George Geczy and John
Lawrence have been playing the
net position, but Hosterman is
still undecided about his choice
for today. Geczy had limited ser
vice. last season at guarding the
ris.
“This is strictly a scrimmage
session for us,” Hosterman said
Harris Will Leave Nats
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 (TP) —The- Washington Senators
announced today that Bucky Harris has resigned as manager,
but Harris implied he was fired.
At any rate, Bucky is out of a job with the end of the sea
son Sunday and while nobody would say so for the record,
it was widely believed that Chuck Dressen will be his suc-
cessor.
The sequence went like this:
Clark Griffith, 84-year-old own
er of the Senators and a long
time friend of Harris, told a news
conference at Washington that he
was announcing, at Harris’ re
quest, that Bucky had. resigned.
Harris Denies Report
Harris, in Boston for the clos
ing games with the Red Sox, de
nied to reporters that he had re
signed and hinted that actually
he was being booted out. He said:
“You can believe what you
want to. Maybe it’s better that
way. No manager eyer resigns.
I’ve been through it before. Ac
tually, I hate to leave Washing
ton. It’s been my home for 30
years but that’s one of the hazards
of baseball. As of now, I don’t
know what I’m gonna do. I have
no offers. I’ll keep on managing
the club until she final game is
played.”.
Harris, one of baseball’s “nice
guys,” is winding up his third
hitch as manager of the Senators,
bogged in the second division. All
tqld, he has managed them for
18 years, dating back to 1924 when
he led the club' to a pennant.
Dressen May Sign
' Meanwhile, it was learned from
reliable but unidentifiable sources
that Dressen in all likelihood will
be signed to a three-year contract
at between $40,000 and $40,000 a
year. Harris reportedly earned
$30,000.
Griffith said he had planned
to announce“ Harris’ resignation
Monday at the close of the season,
but that Bucky had telephoned
him last night to ask him to do so
at once and thus free Harris to
negotiate his own future.
In the give and take with re
porters, Griffith said he would
talk with “three or four” poten
tial successors in New York on
Monday and that he hoped to be
able to announce his manager on
that day. The names mentioned
Will Meet
Team Today
By HOY WILLIAMS
net as an understudy to Red Har
yesterday. “I have had to make a
final decision for the starting
lineup, but I intend to get a good
look at many of my other pros
pects.”
• The contest this afternoon be
tween the Cosmopolitan Club and
the Liojis will be the third time
the two teams have met in pre
season scrimmage games. The
foreign squad has never defeated
a Lion eleven.
in the discussion were Dressen,
Phil Rizzuto, -shortshop for the
New York Yankees, and Jimmy
Dykes, recently ousted as- mana
ger of the Baltimore Orioles.'
• The Los Angeles Times report
ed two days ago that Dressen al
ready had signed with the Sena
tors; Griffith would neither con
firm nor deny that report today.
He said he didn’t want to preju
dice Dressen’s current negotia
tions.
Phillies and Dressen
It has been reported that the
Philadelphia Phillies also are af
ter Dressen, who led the Brook
lyn Dodgers to pennants in 1952
and 1953. Some reports had it
that the Phillies were prepared
to offer Dressen $42,500 a year.
Dressen, 57, quit the Dodgers
because they refused to give him
a three-year contract after the
close of the 1953 season. He man
aged the Oakland, Calif., cluh of
the Pacific Coast League this
year.
There was a bit of confusion
about the Rizzuto situation. Grif
fith at first mentioned the vet
eran shortstop’s name as a pos
sibility but later amended his
statement 4o say that “of course,”
he would not talk to Rizzuto until
he had been given permission to
do so by the Yankees.

On Pitching
In Series
NEW YORK, Sept. 24 (&)—'The
crack pitching staffs of the Cleve
land Indians and New York : Gi
ants could easily steak the show
in the World Series opening
Wednesday in New York.
Both clubs are well-fortified in
both the starting and relieving de
partments.
The Indians, in Bob Lemon,
Early Wynn, and Mike Garcia,
have a trio of moundsmen who
haye accounted for 64 victories
against 26 losses this season. Lem
on has a (23-7) won-lost record;
Wynn (22-11) and Garcia (19-8).
The “big three” also have posted
formidable earned run averages.
Garcia owns the lowest of the trio,
2.55, followed by Lemon 2.60 and
Wynn 2.78.
Feller and Houlleman
• Bob Feller (13-3) and Art
Houtteman (15-7) have had bril
liant seasons and are ready for
possible starting assignments. Hal
Newhouser (7-2) and rookies Don
Mossi (6-1) and Ray Narleski (3-2)
comprise the Tribe bullpen. Bob
Hooper (0-0) doesn’t figure on
seeing much service.
The Giants’ pitching crew has
been effective all season and they,
too, present three top front-liners
in Sal Maglie (14-6), Johnny An
tonelli (21-7), and Ruben Gomez
(17-9). Antonelli has one of the
best earned run averages in the
league, 2.31. Gomez’ ERA is 2.88
and Maglie 3.25. -
Don Liddle (8-4) arid Jim Hearn
(8-8) may be u'sed as spot start
ers. The relief chores will be tak
en care of by Hoyt Wilhelm (12-4)
and Marv Grissom (10-7), both of
whom have been inyaluable as
sets ■ all season.
Giants' Bullpen
Windy McCall (2-3) and A 1 Cor
win (1-3) also will be on duty in
the bullpen brigade. A 1 Worth
ington (0-2), Alex Kontikowski
(0-0), and Paul Giel (0-0), who
comprise the rest of the staff,
aren’t expected to see much ac
tion.'
Neither manager has decided
definitely on hjs pitching rota
tion.
Credit for handling the rival
pitching staffs mUst-be accorded
to catchers Jim Hegan of the In
dians and Wes Westrum of the
Giants. Both are fine, durable re
ceivers and possess strong throw
ing arms. Neither has a high bat
ting average, but they are threats
in the clutch. Rookies Hal Nara
gon of Cleevland and Ray Katt of
New York are adequate replace
ments for the regular catchers.
Veteran ■ Mickey Grasso was
made eligible to catch for Cleve
land by Commissioner Ford Frick
tpday. The Indians dropped Dave
Hoskins, a relief pitcher, from
their Series roster to make room
for Grasso.
A's Defeat Yankees, 5-1

Out On a Limb
With King Football swinging into full action this afternoon,
the time is ripe for Penn State's grid coaches to match wits with
the Daily Collegian sports staff in predicting the outcome of the
top college games across the nation.
Although many of the 15 encounters selected to challenge
the scribes' and coaches' coin-flipping abilities figure to be close
contests—their crystal ball gazes agreed on 11 of the 15 games.
The swamies split their decisions in three of the battles.
Backfield coach, Joe Paterno, picked to represent the Rec Hall
master-minds this week, really took a stroll out on the proverbial
limb when he selected South Carolina to turn back Army. The
Cadets were pre-season favorites to lead the Lions for Eastern
grid supremacy.
Dick McDowell, number one man around the Collegian sports
desk, will lead the local predictors for fop honors, followed by
assistant sports editor Herm Weiskopf, and staff writer Hoy
Williams.
Well boys, we

From recent Student Council minutes:
chairman: Next we come to the problem of the appalling
dressing-habits of our freshman. We have noted such un
orthodox attire as long-point collars, garishly colored
shirts, some actually made of dotted svoiss!
sch. of music rep.: Definitely not in. harmony with
our standards.
journalism rep.: To corn a phrase, they ain’t on the
ball team.
sch. of logic rep.: Why not shoot ’em?
med. school rep.: Great idea! I’ll work up a “Good
Taste” serum, refined from some Van Heusen Oxfordian
shirts. We’ll inoculate ’em all!
philosophy rep.: Who cares!
law school rep.: (Happily) Yeah, inoculate ’em. Then
maybe some of ’em will get sick, and I . . .
journalism rep.: Now let’s don’t go all around Red
Robin Hood’s barn . . . what we need is a campaign to
tell ’em about the Oxfordian . . . the silky, smooth
oxford shirts with the smart, modern collar styles.
bus. adm. rep.: And don’t forget . . . fine long-staple
cotton, woven tighter to last longer... at the amazing price
(thanks to excellent production facilities) of only 34.50.
journalism rep.: I think we got the gem of an idea here
somewhere .. . but first off the bag, we gotta .. •
med. school rep.: Inoculate ’em.
logic rep.: Yeah, shoot ’em.
chairman: All in favor of mass inoculation say Aye.
(motion carries.)
journalism rep.: Maybe some of ’em already wear
Van Heusen Oxfordians. Don’t shoot ’til you see the
whites of their shirts ...
art school rep.: . . . and the colors! Don’t forget
Oxfordians come in the smartest colors this side of a
Bonnard or a Klee.
philosophy rep.: (eating Tootsie-roll) Who cares!
