By' ROY 'WILLIAMS
Seven Lion booters will play
their final game today when
Penn State wraps up its 1954
soccer season against the Red
and Blue Quakers of Penn..
Penn State 'will boast the
same lineup spotted with ten
lettermen who have been the
pulverizing force behind its
winning str e a k of seven
games.
Penn ; however, served notice to
the Lions to beware—altliough,the
Quakers show a 5-4-1 record—by
clipping Rutgers, 13-2, yesterday.
to' score, the biggest rout of the
season for Penn's coach Charley
Scott.
On paper and in a pre-season
forecast the Quakers were prob
ably given the - nod as being one
of the top potential squads in. the
East with eight lettermen return
ing from a team that posted an
8-3 record in 1953.
Penn Vets Return
Some famiilar faces that will
greet the Lions when they meet
the Quakers on River iField at
2 p.m.
Penn will be paced by All-
American lineman Gabor Czako
along with Bob Hennesy, Henry
Palm, and Bill Van Eestereem on
the front line. In the backfield
Coach Scott will have a similar
array of veteran strength with
Bruno Dairo, Fred Tucker, and
Joe Morro pacing the defensive
game.
Last year Czako and Hennessy
served as the Red and Blue's one
two scoring punch. Against Rut
gers the same team riddled the
scarlet net for a total df seven
goals with Czako collecting five.
Of the seven soccermen who
will don their blue and white uni
fOrins •for' their final collegiate
match for Penn State six of them
will be members of the first team.
3 Senior Linesmen. _
Captain Jack Pinezich and Joe
Mijares, both front-line wingmen,
are the only seniors on the Lions'
forward wall. Chuck Snyder,
playing in the substitute role this
season, is also a senior lineman. .
In the - backfield, how,ever, Hos
terinan will see four of his vet
erans handle their final soccer
chores. Halfback Gerry Gillispie
and fullbacks Paul Dierks, Bob
Little, and Galen Robbins are
seniors.
Penn State's undefeated squad
has scored 42 goals in seven con
tests this fall to write in aA new
record for team scoring by sur
passing the 1952 mark of 41 goals
in nine games.
The Lions have been. equally as
rugged on, defense by posting
three shutouts and allowing four
other teams only five points. Syra
cuse was the only team to get
more than one goal on the Lions
when they bowed to the Nittany
team, 9-2.

Pigskin Coin Flips ..
Out On a Limb
Rip Engle, chief member of the Penn. State football coaching
circle, makes his first showing this afternoon in the weekly grid
prediction classic as the quartet of swamies make their ninth and
final journey out on the proverbial branch to write finis to a sea
son of pigskin coin flipping marred by the old nemesis of gridders
and coaches—upsets.
After bowing, to the Nittany Lion coaching staff in the initial
outings, Daily Collegian sports writer Roy Williams surged into the
lead and since has been nothing short of selfish with the number
one position.
At the present he owns a .691--.616 percentage-wise edge over
Collegian sports editor and second-place Dick McDowell. Elghty
three correct picks and only 37 wrong calls have accounted for
Williams' top position.
McDowell, who 'finished second in last year's predictions, came
about his .616 pace on a 74-46 performance.
Herm Weiskopf, assistant scribe, is currently third man in the
picks, one position ahead of his final standing a year ago. Seventy
three correct choices and 47 negative decisions have given him a
.608 average to date.
And last but (have to say it to keep up with the 'tradition) not
least are the Lion mentors. Undoubtedly Engle is putting forth an
eleventh hour _effort to get his cohorts out of the damp confines.
Polish up your nickles and dimes boys. This is it!

'Old I ronsides'
At Stake Today
"Old Ironsides," the well-worn
trophy symbolic of football su
premacy between Penn State, Pitt
and West Virginia, discovers its
fate for another year today, when
the Lions and Pitt meet at Pitt
Stadium.
Held . now by West Virginia, the
trophy could switch to Pitt hands
today, should the Panthers beat
Penn State.
West Virginia has beaten Penn
State, but lost to Pitt in their
meeting, so a win today for the
Jungle Cats would give them the
right to the trophy. The Lions
could bring a three-way tie by
beating the Panthers.
