Scores Five
By ROY WILLIAMS
Syracuse met Penn State’s
soccer team Saturday morn
ing for the first time in four
years, only to become the third
victim of the Lions’ rampag
ing scoring attack, 9-2.
Joe Mij ares was the only
lineman who did not score but
the plucky senior figured in
at least three goals with vital as
sists from his wing position.
Center forward Dick Packer
continued his menacing scoring
barrage, racking up five goals;
three of Packer’s goals came in
the first half when the Lions vir
tually assured themselves of the
win with a 6-1 halftime lead.
Packer’s scoring punch was
backed up with goals by Captain
Jack Pinezich, sophomore Tom
Nute, Milt Springer, and Dick
Matacia.
Springer Scores from 25 Yards
Springer’s tally in the third per
iod was the longest shot of the
morning. Playing from the inside
right slot, Springer tagged an
other point to the Lions’ already
comfortable 7-2 lead with a 25-
yard score.
But the Lions’ passing plays and
well - tuned offensive machine
Were not the only things that stag
gered the Orange. As in the past,
when Penn State swamped Buck
nell 14-1 and clipped Maryland
5- the Lions’ defense collared
its opponents.
Syracuse netted two goals; but
the Orange managed to slip past
the tight defensive net built by
6- 205-pound Paul Dierks and
fullback Gerry Gillispie to at
tempt only 11 goals.
First Period—3-1
The first period was eight min
utes old when Penn State chalked
up a 3-0 lead in the following five
minutes. Packer took a Matacia
pass and tallied on a three-yard
boot; Pinezich followed three
minutes later with, a ten-yard
score. Then Packer added his sec
ond score—and eighth of the sea
son—from 12 yards at 13:20.
Inside left Gunther Wirth
stopped a possible Penn State
shutout with a ten-yard headshot
at 16:08 to narrow the Lions’ lead
to 3-1.
But in the second stanza Syra
cuse was shut but and Penn State
duplicated its first period scor
ing. At 8:23 Matacia picked up a
pass from Pinezich for a 15-yard
score. Packer tacked up his third
goal from 12 yards out; three
minutes later substitute sopho
more Tom Nute scored from eight
yards.
Lions Score Three
After resting on a 6-1 halftime
lead, the Lions broke loose with
three goals in the final half—two
in the third period. Packer wasted
no time after Mijares set him up
from five yards out to score on
a head shot at 0:40. Springer fol
lowed nine minutes later with
his score.
Packer—who started the Lions’
scoring—ended it with his fifth
goal on another pass from Mijares
at 10:15. Robb Duncan added the
Orange’s final score with less than
two minutes left on a 12-yard
shot.

Mountaineers Snap
Lion Streak, 19-14
The Mountaineers piled up 198-yards on the ground to 208 for the. Lions and collected
,130 through the air ways While Penn State could make only 65. However, 142 of the West
Virginia rushing yards were accumulated in the second half.
The running of swiftie halfback Lenny Moore and end Jesse Arnelle’s defensive play,
provided at least a spark of glow on an otherwise very .black afternoon. Moore ripped off
131 yards from scrimmage, raising his season total to 465 and scored one of the Lions’ !two
touchdowns. Arnelle, back in his 1952 form, played a fine defensive game against the tricky
West Virginia offense and threw a key block for Halfback Ron Younker on the Nit
tanies’ other scoring play. ' “
Lions Stall
It looked for a while in the
first period as though the Lions
were off and running, but they
stalled on their own. 49 after the
opening kickoff and had to punt.
The Mountaineers took over and
moments later Wyant hit Bobby
Moss down the middle. The fleet
halfback carried to the five where
Moore overtook him. He fumbled
as he was hit and Arnelle re
covered for the Lions
Penn State couldn't move and
punted to its own 40. Ten plays
later, at 14:50 of the quarter,
Wyant scored from the two for
West Virginia’s first TD. Center
Chick Donaldson’s placement at
tempt was wide and West Vir
ginia led 6-0.
Younker Scores
After three exchanges in the
second period, the Nittanies final
ly got their offensive machine
rolling. Moore returned a West
Virginia punt 19 yards to the 46.
Bailey and Moore took the ball to
the 25, and after one passing at
tempt failed, Bailey connected
with Younker on the 10. He took
the pass, cut to the left sideline
and shored while Arnelle cut
down the only Mountaineer de
fender within his reach.
The Lions held the Mounties
after the kickoff and then started
their second scoring drive after
a penalty moved the ball to their
own 14. With Moore and Bailey
doing most of the running, State
drove 86 yards to pay dirt in 13
plays.
Moore Goes 40 Yards
It was Moore who played the
major role. On the second play
from scrimmage he took a lateral
from Bailey on the option play
and skirted 40 yards down the
right sideline to the West Vir
ginia 41. From there Penn State
churned up yardage on the
ground until Moore scored from
the eight on another pitch. Gar-

rity added his second extra-point,
giving the Lions a 14-6, lead.
Then came the second-half
nightmare.
The Lions just coudn’t get their
offense moving and lost the ball
three times on fumbles in the
third quarter in a shocking about
face from their smooth offensive
play in the second quarter.
Then in the fourth, the Moun
taineers cut loose. After stalling
deep in Penn State territory, early
in the period, they had possession
on their own 32 following a Penn
State punt. Moss and fullback
Joe Marconi alternated into the
line and moved the pigskin to

the score. Again they missed the

Three minutes later they scored

and was forced to punt.
They took over on the 49 and
three plays later halfback Dick
Nicholson took Wyant’s pitch and
sped 40-yards through the Penn

For Ist Win
By HERM WEISKOPF
Michigan State’s champion
ship cross-country team in
vaded the Nittany Valley Sat
urday but was forced to re
treat by the Lions, 23-36.
Doug Moorhead and Ted
Garrett sparked the Nittany
harriers to victory over the
Big Ten and IC4A champions.
It was the first win in three
tries for Penn State and the ini
tial loss for the Spartans, who
were running against competition
for the first time this season.
Michigan State’s sophomores
performed well, but could not
overcome the balance the Nittany
team had.
-Moorhead First Again
Moorhead, who came in first for
the second time this season, fin
ished with a 26:27.8 clocking.
Spartan sophomore Gay Denslow
gave Moorhead a real battle for
the No. 1 spot, finishing just one
second behind the Nittany speed
ster. Another Michigan State
sophomore, Terry Block, came in
third at 26:53.
Garrett, captain for the Lions
on Saturday, posted one of his
finest times since coming to the
Nittany Valley. His fourth place
clocking of 27:06 was half a min
ute better than that recorded by
Jim Pastorius 'of the Lions who
placed fifth.
John Chillrud and sophomore
Don Woodrow rounded out Pehn
State’s scoring quintet, finishing
sixth and seventh. Gene McKel
vey came in eighth with a 28:06
time.
This string of five Lions finish
ing in a row broke up the. Spar
tan scoring threat.
Lion Sophomores
Three sophomores—Don Mowry,
Paul Roberts, and Dick Mohler—
filled the next three slots for the
Lions, and junior Bruce Austin
finished 14th before the Spartans’
fifth runner scored. Del Parker,
who finished fifth for the Spar
tans, had a time of 29:19. Dave
Hoke and John Procter copped
the next two slots for Michigan
State, with Dave Nash and John
Cunningham trailing for the
Lions.
Penn State’s win was its fourth
in the past six meets with the
Spartans.'Last year the Lions de
feated Karl Schlademan’s harriers,
25-30, but finished third in the
IC4A title run which the Spar
tans won. Michigan State also,
copped the Big Ten crown last
season.
Both the Spartans and the Lions
were \hit hard by graduation and
had to rely largely upon the ser
vices of untried sophomores.
