PAGE SIX Cr :::sa*!ers .oast • Air Strength Three quarterbacks who know how to throw a football lead underdog Holy Cross -onto Beaver Field tomorrow when the Crusaders, still looking for their second win, battle Penn State before an expected band day crowd of 20,000. The Lions will be going after their fifth win against two losses and are given a 14-point edge to down Dr. Eddie An derson's dangerous club. Anderson will throw three good signal callers at the Lions and coach Rip Engle is expecting the air-minded Cru saders to stay true to form. In six games, John Stephens, Billy Smithers, and Tom Roberts have tossed 134 passes, corn= pleting 61 for 729 yards. And six of Holy Cross' last seven touchdowns have come through the air route. Stephens Leads Passers Stephens, a 180-pound junior has been the number one man, although sophomore Smithers is rated a corner by vet eran observers. An injured shoulder, however, has limited his play this year. Anderson has also doubled him at the left halfback post. Holy Cross' top runner in been halfback Lou Hettinger, the team captain. He and fullback Charlie Ratto are expected to carry the brunt of the Crusader ground attack tomorrow. Lion coach Jim O'Hora, who drew the Scouting assignment for this one, singled out Hettinger as the team sparkplug. "He's the fellow who sparks the Crusader cause—keeps the team going when it falls behind," O'Hora said. Hettinger, a 175- pounder, leads the team scoring, ground gaining, and pass receiv ing. Bounopane Top Passer Top man on the Crusader 198- pound line is guard Jim Bouno pane, whom O'Hora rates with the best guards in the east. The 190-pound huskie is in his sec ond season as a regular. The rest of the Crusader for ward wall will show Bob Dee (210) and Carlin' Lynch (190) at the ends, Jim Allegro (195) and Joe Murphy (210) at tackles, Bob Cooney (190) at the other guard, and Dick Murphy (210) at center. Engle will put the Lions through a final workout this afternoon. Cagers to Play Practice Game With Juniata Penn State's basketball team gets its exhibition season off to an early start tonight with a practice game against Juniata College. • The Lions' game with the In dians marks the first of four ex hibition tilts scheduled in the month-long pre-season practice schedule. Coach John Egli takes his squad to St. Francis Nov. 12, and then will play return engagements with both teams at Rec Hall. Juniata will be here Nov. 19, and St. Francis will appear Dec. 1. Egli began work Monday with 40 candidates and will take a 13- man squad with him tonight. No ticeable absentees in the contest, of course, will be Jack Sherry, Bob Rohland, Jesse Arnelle, and Bob Hoffman. All four are play ing football. Ron Weidenhammer and Dave Edwards, two more vet eran performers, are away on stu dent r -nlaa^nts. the T formation backfield has Lions Seek to Keep Edge Over Jaspers When Manhattan and Penn State will clash tomorrow at the University in the final cross-country meet of the season before the IC4A and NCAA championships, the Lions will be gunning for their sixth consecutive win over the Jaspers. Against most other teams this type of win streak would be re garded as merely "six of one kind or half a dozen of another." However, five straight wins over Manhattan is a record any team would be proud of. George East ment's hill-and-dalers are annual ly ranked as one of the top squads in the nation. Off Year This season both the Jaspers and the Lions have had an off year. Although neither has lived up to some of the impressive rec ords of the past, they both have come a long way since the start of the campaign. Both lost their opening meet of the season and both have several outstanding runners. Manhattan dropped its opener to Providence, 23-32. Pitt, prob ably the top outfit in the East, defeated the Jaspers in a :triangu lar meet. Outside of that, Manhat tan has outlegged its opponents consistantly. In recent-meets East ment's harriers have tripped St. John's of New York, 20-40, and Dartmouth, 21-39. Sbarra is Too Jasper Bob Sbarra, No. 1 runner for the Jaspers and one of the best in the East, is Manhattan's top threat. Depth and experience are two other factors which have helped the Jaspers recover from their loss to Providence. Behind Sbarra, Eastment has Jim Deßraggio, Captain Bob Goodwin, Bill St. Clair, and Phil Rios. This quintet of top-flight harriers is the backbone of the Manhattan squad. Last year the Lions defeated the Jaspers at Van Cortlandt Park, N.Y., 17-41, to finish the seaspn with an unblemished record. The victory gave the Lions a 4-0 slate for the camapign. and their Eirst undefeated season since 1950. It THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Unbeaten footers Season Tomorrow By ROY WILLIAMS Home fans will have their last chance to see what Nittany soccer coach Ken Hoster man has tabbed as "one of the best soccer teams that has been fielded by Penn State in many years" tomorrow Morning when the Lions close their 1954 home-season card with Navy. Although the game will be the last of four home tilts• this fall, it will .not be the tions' final encounter. After the Navy match, the soccermen will play a two-game road trip at Penn and Temple to wind up the season Coach Ken Hosterman al Penn State battles the Swabbies. "The service teams always give us a good game," Hosterman said, "they're always in top shape for rough body contact." The Midshipmen have won four games, lost two and tied one. Navy's latest loss was inflicted by Haverford College at Annapo lis, Maryland, on Wednesday. The Pennsylvania college which has posted a 3-2-1 card dropped the military squad, 2-1. Haverford managed to trip the Middies with a long shot in the final period, after Navy tied the score 1-1 in the second period on a pass from Francisco Vainstein to George Fetterer who scored. Last year the Lions• traveled to Navy's port at Annapolis in the midst of a sudden snowstorm. The game was delayed for several hours, and finally called off when 12 inches of snow blanketed the playing field. Navy will face the same prob lems that the Nittany booters' was the Lions sixth straight win over a two-year span. Penn State's victory streak was ended in the Brit meet of this season when Navy and Villanova finished in front of the Blue and White in a triangular meet at An napolis. The Lions have since lost to Cornell and Pitt and have beat en Michigan State. Werner pointed out yesterday that he was trying an "experi ment" with his team this year. Instead of having the harriers cover the five-mile course during home football games, Werner has scheduled meet time several hours before the gridders take the field. Tomorrow's meet will get un derway. after the PIAA champion ship race, which will start at 11 a.m. The Jaspers and the Lions will start and finish on the Bea ver Field track.

The Lion cubs, making their only home appearance on the three game card, meet the Naval Academy prep school gridders on the Beaver Field practice area at 10 a.m. Under coach Earl Bruce, the Lion yearlings have registered a win and a tie in the games played. They edged Navy in the opening contest, 7-6, and then fought the Pitt frosh to a 6-6 standstill two weeks ago. the case of the stuak up sale sman When police arrived at the college haberdashery, they shook their heads in disbelief. Instead of being gagged and bound, the salesman was actually glued to the floor. They took quick stock of the clues . . . an empty glue pot, several odd-shaped pieces of cloth scattered about, an empty show-case, an empty cash drawer. Ingenious shirt-robbery! "Ugg glub," said the salesman, still all stuck-up stuck down, rather. When they finally got him extricated with hot water and chisels, he thanked them nicely and said, "What's, the, matter with you jerks? I haven't been robbed." "No," he explained, "I was simply making a demonstra tion of the Van Heusen Century shirt for some of the boys. Showed them why the revolutionary one-piece Century collar just won't wrinkle ever. Told 'em how reg ular collars are made of three layers of cloth, "gluee and stitched together. I glued a set, just for emphasis . learned to demonstrate in Woolworth's." "Get on with it," said the detective. "Well, I showed 'em how these 3-piece jobs wrinkle a'nd wilt quickly even with, starch or stays. I said the Van Heusen Century collar. would stay neat always— withOut starch or stays—or their money back. When I told 'em that Van Heusen Centurys gave 'em lots more wear than ordinary shirts, yet cost the same price (just $3.95 for whites and $4.50 for colors)•they bought me out. I was so overjoyed, I did a little jig 'and tripped over the glue pot. ;Got stuck up " "Oh, yeah?" yeahed, the detective. "Well, where's all the dough?" "Oh s - college men never pay. They just charge everything to Dad." (Editor's note: Oh, yeah?) FRIbAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1954 Close With last five victims have been, sty mied with—that of stopping the Lions' crushing offense and scor ing on solid defensive net. Penn State's scoring parade of collecting 39 goals in five games c-n not, however, be attributed only to the front line's superb play. The halfbacks, Gerry Gil lispie, Ihor Stelynk, and Steve Flamporis, have been a determin ing factor in its success. This year the halfbacks are con centrating their efforts more on passing. "We've found the sys tem of using our halfbacks as `feeders' very effective," Hoster man noted in. .a partial explana tion of his team's offensive power. All-round power and depth, however, can often be toppled by over-confidence something which can' easily hit a high-riding team such as Hosterman's squad. Navy will be looking for this weakness, and can and will capi talize if given the chance. Bruce, in his fourth year at the helm, said his squad is in good condition for the .encounter and that he expects a close game. Should the Lions come out on top in this game, it will be the first unbeaten freshman season since 1946 when powerful Cali fornia State Teachers College, a Penn State center after the war, won nine- straight games. Freshman sports returned to the Penn State campus in 1951 and in three years since, the Lions have lost one game a sea son. Wyoming Seminary turned the trick in 1951, Navy in 1952, and last year Pitt was the culprit, 19-9. Hothe Navy.
