FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1955
Fullback Hopefuls . . .
Booters Scrimmage
Sampson Tomorrow
Penn State’s soccer team will try to polish up on their of
fensive machine and iron out some defense errors when it
meets Sampson Air Force Base in a practice game at 12:30 p.m.
tomorrow at Beaver Field adjacent to the football stands.
The warm-up contest will give coach Ken Hosterman a
chance to test his inexperienced players and see his six vet
erans in action. I u
In last year’s game with Samp-'
son, the Lion Booters set an all
time record by scoring lft goals
while holding their military op
ponents to only two. But this year
the youthful Hosterman will be
without the services of high-scor
ing Jack Pinezich and fullbacks
Paul Dierks and Galen Robbins.
Replacing Dierks and Rob
bins appeaxs to be the main
headache lor Hosterman. In to
morrow's lilt he will hare to
pick from junior Dave Davis,
sophomore Ralph Brower, and
senior Bob Lillie. The two who
look Ihe best before the regu
larly scheduled game with Ar
r~ ’ ■ 'ixt Friday will get the
starting assignments.
In-addition, to having "green”
fullbacks, Hosterman - will be
faced with the problem of getting
a solid forward wall into shape.
With the absence,of Dick Mata
cia, a scholastic question mark, he
will have to fill three line posi
tions, tiyo of which were left va
cant via graduation.
Even if Hosterman does’field
a strong line, he will have a
weak bench. Replacements for
the backfield and the line are ex
hausted. This could prove to have
an important bearing on the
Lions’ ’55 success.'
At goalie the only player with
experience is George Geczy. He
was. alternating with John
Lawrence before the latter sus
tained an ankle injury in Tues
day's practice.
Hosterman said that practice in
moving the ball more and in get
ting the team’s passing and shoot
ing eye in shape is what he will
stress in the practice contest. He
said he will get a chance to
straighten out some vital mis
takes that the first team has been
making and still substitute freely.

Seven Clubs!
Can Change
Standings
NEW YORK, Sept. 22 (/P)—To
most baseball folk tomorrow’s
major league games simply mark
the start of the final series of the
regular season. To seven clubs,
however, they can spell a differ
ence of one place in the final
standings.
In addition to the New York
Yankees, who can clinch their
sixth American League pennant
in the last seven years, tomor
row’s games can affect the final
standings of Cleveland, Chicago,
Baltimore and Washington in the
American League and Philadel
phia and Cincinnati in the Na
tional.
The Yankees, of course, need
either one victory in their remain
ing four games, or a Cleveland
defeat, before they can set off
their celebration. The Indians
have three games left.
The Indians, assured of at least
a tie for the runner-up spot, need
one more victory or a Chicago de
feat to clinch second place.
A week ago Washington ap
peared certain to finish seventh.
Now after seven successive de
feats, four to Baltimore, the Sen
ators are in last place and need a
sweep of the five-game series
with the Orioles to pass Balti
more.
The only position still in doubt
in the National League is fourth
place. Philadelphia owns a game
and a half margin over Cincinnati
and can. clinch at least a tie for
fourth with a victory over the
New York Giants tomorrow while
the Reds are idle.

2 Changes Highlight
IM Football Rules
Two major changes—designed to provide faster and higher scor
ing contests for both players and spectators—have been made in ttie
intramural touch football rules, the IM department has armoured.
The first change concerns kick-offs. The ball must now ,e
placekicked instead of punted as was allowed in previous years.
The kick-off is made from the kicking team’s 40-yard line.
The ball must travel at least 20 yards before becoming a free ball
The second change is a new ad
dition to IM rules. The offensive
team may now attempt to kick a
field goal. Field goal attempts
were previously prohibited in IM
football.
A team scoring a touchdown
also has the opportunity to try
to place kick the extra-point at
tempt. In both the field goal and
the extra-point attempts, the de
fensive squad may not rush the
kicker.
However, when the offense
chooses to try either of the afore
mentioned moves, it must inform
the defensive squad of its choice.
Kicks may be attempted from
any distance, but must be at
tempted from the point directly
behind the spot from which the
ball is snapped by the center.
Another outstanding feature of
the IM rules is that no blocking,
either on offense or defense, is
allowed.
The game is divided into two
15-minute halves with a five
minute rest period between
halves. The clock will be stopped
only during timeouts, for penal
ties, and after a score. Each team
is allowed one two-minute time
out per half.
The rules also permit a pass or
lateral of any sort to be thrown
at any time. Any player on the
The proof was burned into the sands of
Daytona Beach at the NASCAR* trials
earlier this year. In acceleration tests,
Chevrolet walked away from everything
else in its field. Plus all the high-priced
cars except one!
It’s the big reason Chevrolet’s been tak
ing all comers in short track stock car
events this season. Sizzling acceleration
along with handling ease and cornering
ability—things that mean safer, happier
highway driving. Come on in and let a
new Chevrolet show you what we mean.

team with the most first downs

the first downs are also tied, a
sudden death period will be
played until either team makes a
first down.
