Lions Are
Forty Million to View Nittanies
In Quest of Win Number Four
PHILADELPHIA, Pa•--Still smarting from the wounds
of two straight defeats, Penn State moves into Franklin Field
here today to battle Pennsylvania's winless Quakers in tele
vision's game of the week.
The Lions-20-point favorites in this one—will be going
after their fourth win of the season while Sebo's Red and Blue
eleven is searching for its first victory.
Over 40 million fans, including an expected 45,000 here
at the huge stadium, will watch these two teams battle in the
43rd game of a long and colorful rivalry.
Game time is 2 p.m.
Rip Engle's gridders, burning mad after dropping two
straight games to West Virginia and Texas Christian, will be
out to avenge a 13-7 defeat handed them by the Quakers in
last year's game.
Have Lost Nine
But there are some who believe
that the Quakers are far from
dead. Th e downtrodden Ivy
Leaguers have lost nine games
in a row now, including five last
season. But they have shown oc
casional spurts of life in losing
causes against Duke, William &
Mary, Princeton, George Washing
ton, and Navy.
Statistically the Lions have the
edge. They outweigh Penn on the
line-210 to 205—and match them
in the backfield. And of course,
they get an edge when seasonal
records are compared.
Lineup Changes
However, recurring" injuries in
the Penn State camp may force a
change in the expected Penn State
lineup. Ron Younker, who injured
his shoulder against TCU, may be
forced to sit this one out, and
Bill Straub still hasn't recovered
from a leg ailment that has kept
him under wraps for two weeks.
Should the pair of backs be un
able to start, that would bring in
sophomore halfback Billy Kane,
and fullback Frank Della Penna.
Otherwise the Lion starting
lineup will probably remain un
changed. •
Moore Biggest Threat
As usual hope will be resting
heavily on the explosive ball tot
ing of halfback Lenny Moore,
probably the best back in the east
and a hot contender for All-Amer
ican honors this year. Moore needs
just 28 yards today to break his
own best total of 601, set last year.
Sebo, the former Michigan State
aid, will be making some lineup
changes himself this week, but not
because of injuries. Slumping
halfback Walt Hynoski has been
benched in an effort to shake the
Quakers out of their losing habits.
Bob Lebengood will move into
the lineup at halfback.
Hyland Leads Penn
Sebo's biggest hopes lie in the
person of Neil Hyland, a sopho
more halfback who has kept the
Penn "multiple" offense from
falling to pieces completely this
season. He has over 200 yards
rushing in five games.
The Lions arrived here last
night by train after a light work
out at Beaver Field yesterday af
ternoon. The 38-man squad is
staying at the Warwick hotel.
This grid series began back in
1890 and since then Penn has won
25 of the 42 games played, while
the Lions have come up with 13
victories. Four games end in ties.

"REAR WINDOW"
By DICK McDOWELL
Lion Booters
Harriers
Two undefeated records will be laid on the line and tested when
Army tangles with Penn State's soccer squad at noon. today. The
Black Knights from the banks of the Hudson sport a 4-0-1 record,
compared to the Nittany Lions' 4-0 card.
Penn State Coach Ken Hosterman will stick with the same
lineup which has paced the Lions in crushing four Gpponents—
Bucknell, 14-1; Maryland, 5-1; Syracuse, 9-2; and Colgate, 6-0. The
Lions also hold a win over Sampsr Ai F- B - dr hF
-
military squad, 18-2.
The front line for Penn State
will be molded by five lettermen,
all of whom have scored at least
one goal this season.
Center forward Dick Packer, a
junior, leads the offensive parade
of scoring with 13 goals; Captain
Jack Pinezich, outside left, is sec
ond with eight. Dick Matacia, in
side left, has five goals. Mert
Springer and Joe Mijares—both
playing the right side of the line
—have two each. Substitute line
man Tom Nute, a sophomore, has
three tallies.
Penn State's powerful scoring
attack has stacked up 34 goals in
four games—an average of bet
ter than eight goals a game. The
Sampson Air Force score has not
been tallied in any of the above
statistics.
On the defense Penn State has
been equally as strong, allowing
only four goals. Two of these
goals, however, were scored when
play-calling tactics by the Lions'
defensive net ran afoul.
Defense Outstanding
Pullbacks Paul Dierks, a four
year man on the Lions' soccer
squad, and Galen Robbins, a let
terman, have coupled their defen
sive talents with junior goalie
George Geczy to handcuff the op
ponents' scoring drive when they
penetrate Lion territory.
Dierks, Robbins, and Geczy
combined their efforts against
Colgate—the first team that ac
tually put the pressure on the
Lions for most of the game—by
knotting each of the Raider's at
tempts to score.
But three other men have been
instrumental in not only the Lions'
defensive strength, but also the
scoring barrage. Halfbacks Ihor
Stelynk and Gerry Gillispie—both
lettermen—and sophomore Steve
Flamporis, who is the only regu
lar who is not a letterman, have
plagued the opponents' with a
two-way effectiveness.
Army Wins 4
Army comes to the Lion Cam
pus boasting wins over Ithaca,
2-1, RPI, 3-0, University of Con
necticut, 2-0, Penn, 3-1, and tie
with West Chester Teachers, 2-2.

Sowell Paces Pitt
Pitt; paced by sensational Arnie
Sowell, has come a long way in
the past few seasons. When the
Lions and the Panthers last met in
1952 the Blue and White harriers
were riding on the crest of a long
series of wins over Pitt. Penn
State perennially possesses one of
the best teams in the nation:lout
now the tables have turned, with
the Panthers holding the upper
hand.
Werner will have a rough time
matching -Olson's top six harriers.
Sowell, Captain Alan Gunderson,
Thornton Smith, Jim Moore, John
Schubert, and Bob Cherry form
the Panthers' top half dozen hill
and-dalers.
Three Seniors to Run
Three seniors, three juniors, and
four sophomores will be compet
