page srx Gridders Marked As Target of East Hip Engle’s Penn State football team .might be the darling of the east this week, but everybody concerned figures that the Lions might just as well be marked down as the target of the east for the remainder of the season. The Lions’ big upset win against favored Illinois last Saturday apparently has made them marked men. The Lions will be the favorites against Syracuse this Saturday seven points but Lion coaches know they are in for another tough Saturday afternoon. The Orange, a 28-6 winner against Villanova in their opener last week, would prob ably be plenty good even if the Lions had lost to Illinois. They’ve made-it a habit in the long Penn State series. But the Nittany victory will probably make them just that- much better. A' Bolstered by a big, fast back field and a heavy line, coach Ben Schwartzwalder’s outfit figures to have lots of everything it needs Saturday afternoon. Fleet halfback Ray Perkins ap pears to he Schwartzwalder’s big gest threat. He returned to the right half position this season af ter switching to end last year. He scored one touchdown and kicked three extra points against Villanova Saturday. Schwartzwalder arid Engle have split even in the four games played while they have been di recting the two forces. Last year the Lions won at Bea ver Field, 20-14, but had to come from behind (14-0) late in the third period and finally won the game on a blocked kick that Dan DeFalco fell on in the endzone, Engle will put the Lions through their' final workout at Beaver Field this afternoon before em barking for New York tomorrow morning. They are scheduled to leave for Harrisburg by bus at 8 pan. and take a plane from there to Syracuse. A light workout is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at Archi bald Stadium. About 20,000 fans are expected to sit in on the game—the 32nd meeting of the two schools. The Lions will be seeking their first Soccermen Jinx Over Bacfcaell, which visits the Nittany soccer field this Saturday, wSi be fighting an old jinx when it meets Penn State in the Lions’ season opener. Sinee 1943 the Bisons have not defeated a Penn State soccer team. ' During the past eleven years, the best a Bucknell squad could muster against Penn State was a tie in 1943 Since the fall season of 1951 Penn State has crumbled its Bucknell opponents. In 1951 Bu.ck neil was whitewashed, 5-0; in 1952 the Lions ran n rampant to roll up ten goals compared to Bueknell’s lone tally. Last season the Lions duplicated the 1951 whitewashing, racking up a 7-0 score in the season opener. Familiar Faces And this year, the Bisons will be seeing some familiar faces when they meet the Lions. Coach Ken Hosterman will be relying on nine veterans—five of them linemen —to spark the Lion’s play. Joe Mijares, Dick Matacia, Milt Springer, Jack Pinezich, and Dick Packer along with backfieldmen Paul Dierks, Ihor Stelnyk, Galen Robbins, and Gerry Gillispie faced the Bison squad last year. Three, of Penn State’s goals were scored by center forward Packer; Matacia, playing inside right last fall, accounted for an other goal by the forward wall Dierks Scores Dierks, who was then playing the center halfback position, scored the fifth of the seven goals accounted for by the returning lettermen. In addition to the old faces, Bucknell will be noticing several newcomers to the Lion squad. And from indications of their perform ances last week against the Cos mopolitan Club in a scrimmage contest, the Bisons had better take the hint. Line understudies Tom Nute, Ward Hill, and Dutch Walz, have been pressing several veterans for opening day positions. In the backfield Steve Flamporis, Bob Little, and Jim Edmunds are be ing watched carefully by Hoster man.

DiMaggio at Series NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (A 3 )—lt was a bit incongruous to see Joe DiMaggio,' his hair flecked with gray, crammed into the tight press quarters.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Wernermen Own 6-Meet Win Streak Penn State’s cross-country team will put a six-meet win streak on the line Saturday r.t Annapolis in a triangular meet with Navy and Villanova. The Lions’ umblemished record dates back to 1952 when Chick Werjier’s harriers romped over New York University and Man hattan to close out that campaign. Last year the thinclads opened by defeating Cornell at' home, 19-39. In the second (meet, a triangular battle at Annapolis with Navy and Georgetown, the Lions outlegged the field to win by 14Vz points. . Beal Champs Then came wins over two of the toughest foes in the nation— Michigan State and Manhattan. The Spartans copped the IC4A 1 and NCAA championships in 1952 and the 25-30 victory over the titlists rated the Blue and White harriers as one of the top hill and-date outfits in the nation. Although Werner was afraid of an upset at the hands of Manhat tan, the Lions outsloshed the. Ja spers on Van Cortlandt'Park’s rain soaked course to finish with its first undefeated season since 1950. Scoring in cross-country is based on one point for first, two for second, and so on. The team with the fewest points is the win ner. Fifteen points is the mini mum a squad can accumulate. In order to do' this a team must place runners in each of the first five slots. Only the first 'five runners to finish for each team, figure in the scoring. i Averaged 21 Points Penn State’s hill-and-dalers av eraged 21 points per meet last year. The most points the Lions were tagged with last season was the 25 scored in the Michigan State battle. , Saturday’s opening meet at An napolis will be more than just another contest. With a six-meet win skein on the line. Navy and Villanova will be gunning for the Lions much the same as the Nit tany gridders were at the opening game with Illinois. Thompson Says He Won't Return to Pros CLEVELAND, Sept. 29 {lP)' Tommy Thompson has decided not to return to pro football, the Cleveland Browns announced to day. / Earlier the club said the giant linebacker had decided to make a comeback after • watching the Browns lose Sunday at Philadel phia to the Eagles. But today Thompson telephoned trainer Leo Murphy from his home at Norfolk, Va., and said an injured knee was giving him trou ble and he had decided not to chance it. Giants Nip Indians On Rhodes 7 Homer For years, the writers have marveled at A 1 Gionfriddo’s great catch on Joe Dimaggio at the Yankee Stadium in the 1947 World Series, but this topped that fine play. v Until he grabbed Wertz’ bid for a sure double, Mays had been well on the way to being a bust in this first game.' He hadn’t hit the ball out of the infield and had managed only a walk. NEW YORK, Sept. 29 (TP) —Dusty Rhodes, mighty New York Giant pinch-hitter whose home run in the . 10th won the opening game of the World Series, confessed after the game today that it was an accident of sorts. . \ “I wasn’t trying for a home run,” he said. “I was just trying for a hit.” , But what a hit—a decisive three - run homer! “It was the best hit I ever got in my life,” he said, laughing. “Were you worried going up there as a pinch hitter?-” he was asked. “Nope,” ,he said flatly. “The pitcher is the guy who worries. He’s got to get me out.” Rhodes’ homer was on a curve thrown by Bob Lemon, the Cleve land Indian ace. Manager Leo Durocher of the victorious Giants, after . praising Rhodes and Willie Mays, heaped his affection on his pitchers. “It was great relief pitching,” he said. “I got just what I want ed.” His reliefers were .Don Liddle and Marv Grissom. Liddle, as a matter of .fact, pitched only to one batter. Durocher said he would start his spectacular young, southpaw, Johnny Antonelli, tomorrow, but he still was undecided on his third game pitcher when the scene of the series will shift to Cleveland. He was a happy manager after the game, but not a boastful or, elated one. Explaining he was superstitious, he asked photogra phers to leave him alone which they didn’t “and take the players instead.” BOX SCORE Cleveland A AB R H O A E Smith, If 5 112 3 0 Avila,2b 3 0 1 3 0 0 Doby,cf 5 0 1 Rosen,3b 5 0 4 11 1 0 Wertz,lb d-Refralado 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 Grasso.c Philley.rf 0 0 0 0 0 0 a-Majeski 0 0 0 0 0 0 b-Mitchell 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dente.ss 3.0 0 2 3 0 Strickland.ss 1 •’ 0 0 0 0 0 c-Pope.rf 4 0 0 6 1 0 Hegan.c .1 0 0 0 0 0 e-Glynn,lb 4 0 0 Lemon.p New York N AB R H O A E Lockman ,Ib, 5-11000 Dark.ss 4 0 2 3 2 0 5 1 2 2 0 2 Mueller,rf Mays.cf 3 1 0 2 0 0 Thompson,3b 3 113 3 0 3 0 0 5 0 1 Irvin,lf 1110 0 0 f-Rhodes “Williams,2b 4 0 0 »1 4 0 2 5 0 0 Westrum.c 3 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 36 5 9 30 8 3 Maj?iie,p Liddle.p Grissom, p Totals x—One out when winning run scored, a—-Announced as batter for Philley in Bth.

SEPTEMBER 30, 1954 (Continued from page one) Four Win !M Footbdi Contests A jump pass from' Sandy Ay ers to Bob Ebert, good for 65 yards and a touchdown, proved tb be the winning margin as Beta Theta Pi edged out Sigma Phi Alpha 6-0 in last night’s second round intramural football action. In other games played at Beaver Field, Alpha Zeta defeated Phi Mu Delta 19-0, Delta Sigma Chi romped over Sigma Alpha Mu 15- 0, and Sigma Nu beat Phi Sigma Delta 19-0. The combo of Ayers and Ebert clicked all night as -.Sigma Phi Alpha could not cope with them. The touchdown play came on the first play of the' second half after John Underhill had punted to .the 35 yard line. Sigma Phi Alpha threatened in the first half when they advanced down to Beta Theta Pi’s 20 yard line. But a pass interception by Sandy Ayers stalled the drive. • Alpha Zeta Wins In the second game of the night Alpha Zeta overwhelmed Phi Mu Alpha. On the third play of the game, after Alpha Zeta had kick ed off, a pass by Garry Emanuel was intercepted by Don Miller on the 40 yard line. Miller flipped to Bill Fecke who caught the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. The extra point try was no good. After the initial TD Alpha Zeta pulled away from Phi Mu Alpha. In the second half a pass from Miller to Don Snider concluded an 80 yard touchdown drive. It was Miller again for the third TD but this time he ran over from the one yard after passing for' 40 yards to Snider on the one. Score Safety 110 0 13 0 2 S 2S xl2 0 The third game of the night proved to be another runaway as Delta Sigma Chi beat Sigma-Al pha Mu. With 12' minutes gone and the score still scoreless Jack Greiner caught Hank Greenfield in the end zone for a safety to put Delta Sigma Chi ahead to stay. , In the second half the Sammies were on the move but again the sparkling defensive play of Grein er proved to be their downfall. From here on in Joe Murphy and Paul Mastarocco took the heroes roles as both of them scored a (Continued on page seven)
