Lenny Moore had a lot of rooters against Holy Cross, but none any stronger than Miller. "I sure hope he breaks it (the record)," he said before game time. "He's a great runner, much stronger and faster than I ever was." . Of course, to imagine Miller in a football uniform -is nearly impossible. He stands only 5-5 and weighed around 150 when he was playing for the Lions in 1912, but he really must have been a terror on. the gridiron.

MISS ILES I OTIVE 9:00 - 5:00 Dierks is bulwark Of Booters Defense It has been quite a while since an All-America soccer player has graced the Nittany campus. As a matter of fact, Harry Little, who won the coveted title in 1950, was the last Penn State player to earn the honor. However, the only ,ob stacle that could stand in the path of Paul Dierks, burly full back on the Lions' undefeated soccer team, would be a storm that would reduce Hurricane Hazel to a 'minor sneeze'. , "He's a battleship on defense," Coach Ken Hosterman said of his fullback ace who has become the talk of the soccer circles and the scourge of opposing teams For a big man, 6'2" 205, Dierks is extremely agile and has been one of the big reasons for the Nittany booters' unblemished rec ord in six games Teamed with his running mates, Galen Robbins and goalie George :74eczy, Dierks has formed an almost ?-; impregnable de fense that has al- ,•: lowed the oppo sition a meager '.;i1tA.1,,,,'5,4) total of five goals.

With the State goal uncovered, Paul Dierks Dierks picked an attempted Army score from the goal area and headed it downfield. Paul was pressed into the cen ter-halfback position last year as a result of the graduation of for mer Nittany captain, Kurt Klaus. This position is comparable to that of the - quarterback in foot ball, and evidence of the big full back's success can be shown by the booter's log of five wins .and two defeats last year. The center halfback directs the offensive attack with his passes to both wings and the middle. On defense, he is considered a key man, playing between the full ineers WHERE TO AFTER GRADUATION Start your career with a company famous for Creative Engi neering.

All-district honors were con ferred on Dierks in his freshman year and again last season as a result of his center-half play. Dis trict, honors are composed of votes from coaches and game officials fr o m Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. "Paul •keeps his opponents guessing. He never plays the ball the same way twice,. which pre vents the opposition from learning a certain pattern and playing ac cordingly," Hosterman said. Dierks reached his peak against the midshipmen of Annapolis last Saturday when he turned back Navy on several tight occasions and developed the knack of "be ing in the right spot at the right time." At Brooklyn Technical High School in New York City he was selected to the New York All- Scholastic team in 1948 and 1949, and captained the squad 'along with present Nittany captain, Jack Pinezich. Dierks is a member of Phi Delta Theta and the Penn State "S" club. He is married to the former Louanne Gallaher, and is the fa ther of one son. There are a number of All- America soccer players perform ing in the East this. year, but if there is a better fullback in the country than Paul Dierks he has not appeared in Eastern circles.
