ever, will undergo some changes.
Injuries Crop Up
Injuries, the old bug-a-boo
that has cropped up consistently
for Engle this year, take another
heavy toll today.
Frank Reich, co-captain and
starting tenter, accompanied the
team, but will not see action as a
result of a broken right hand.
On the right side of the line, En
gle has taken another setback
with Walt Mazur sitting this trip
out with a broken hand, suf
fered in a practice session last
week.
The logical replacements for
Reich are senior Ed Kleist, 204-
pound center from Duquesne, and
Dan Radakovich, a tall, lanky
junior, who weighs only 183 but
packs a wallop on defense.
Valentine May Shift
Reich normally operates on de
fense from the left linebacker's
slot. Engle could switch his de
fensive with most of the changes
revolving around Kleist, Radako
vich, and burly Sam Valentine,
with all three linemen' shifting
in and out of the line and line
backer duties. .
Valentine will definitely see ac
tion defensively, and may even
get a hitch in the guard or cen
ter slots offensively, should the
need appear.
At ends, Engle t a b bed Doug
Mechling, 6-0, 190 pounder for
duty at right end, and Paul North,
185-pound sophomore,_ at left end.
2 Ends Out
Romeo Panozzu and Ned Fink
beiner, two of the nine men that
Engle has on his roster for the
end slot, are out with injuries.
Finkbeiner was sidelined with a
knee injury against Army last
week;* Panozzo has
,a pre-season
injury.
Engle's traveling roster in
cluded some new names and
changes. Emil Caprara, a sopho
more standout in practice sessions
who has been out for the first two
contests with a knee injury, came
as a fullback with Straub, Joe
Sabol, and Jim Lockerman.
Moore, Ray Alberigi, and Frank
Della Penna—switched from full
back—traveled in left half capa
cities. At right half Engle has
Kane plus senior Bobby Allen of
Harrisburg and junior Jay Liv
ziey.
Hoffman to Start
In the quarterbacking position
Engle will open with Hoffman,
the squad's smallest man (161
pounds) who has been a game
cock as first-string quarterback.
Junior Milt Plum, senior Jim
Hockberg, and sophomores Jack
Scrabis and Al Jacks round out
Engle's quintet at the signal-call
ing position.
Virginia's inability to generate
an offensive punch in its first two
games could pop open today.
With Hartwell—who has the abil
ity to break loose—aided by the
Virginian's "belly series" which
forces the opposition to keep the
middle "honest" against plunges
of sophomore fullback Jim Bakh
tiar, Penn State will have to keep
a wary eye on both men.
As for quarterback, well, it's
anybody's guess. Against GW last
week McDonald used four men
with Bill "Whitey" Clarke, a left
hander, getting the most atten
tion. Clarke, who may have
pushed senior Rives Baily out of
the starting assignment, was at
the switches when Virginia
moved to score its only TD
against Clemson's Tiger s—and
the only one of the season—on a
67-yard TD march.

Penn State Sports—
ON
THE
LINE
After 100 years, it's here . . . the Penn State All-Sports
Record Book. A 103-page booklet of statistics, records, and
general information about Lion athletic teams since each
began at the University. A handsome job done by Bill Acker
man and Jim Coogan, Penn State's specialists of the sports
public information service, tells all of the prolific proficiency
with which the Blue and White has participated in inter
collegiate athletics.
In a non-profit venture, the books sell for $1 ... available
in Recreation Hall. Get 'em while
they last, only a limited supply
published. Good for settling those
arguments; a hip-pocket friend
for any Penn Stater—fan or oth=
erwise.
IT SEEMS ALMOST IRONIC, ,
that after helping put out a book

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 5.1955
By LOUIE PRATO
With high winds and an
ever present threat of rain
keeping scoring on a down
grade, four fraternity football
teams Managed to capture
first round wins in Intra
mural football last night on the
Beaver Field practice turf.
The lowest scoring game of the
evening involved Phi Mu Delta
and Tau Phi Delta with the for
mer squeezing out a 1-0 victory
in overtime. In other games Phi
Kappa edged a fighting Alpha
Phi Delta club, 7-0; Sigma Phi
Epsilon blasted Kappa Sigma !
19-0; and Delta Sigma Phi
whacked Kappa Alpha Psi, 10-0.
Battle on Even Terms
Phi Mu Delta battled on even
terms with Tau Phi Delta
throughout the whole fracas but
it was the 'last play of the extra
frame which Brought a victory.
When the game ended with
each team owning a first down,
the ball was placed on the fifty
yard line and TPD was given the
ball. Alternating with Phi Mu,
Ifor six plays, TPD could not
budge the pigskin from mid
stripe. But on the sixth play of
the series, a Phi Mu pass from
Gary Emanuel to Al Quoos
moved the ball into TPD, territory
Ifor the Phi Mu win.
• Spearhead Offense '
Terry Alwine, Sill Updegraff,
and Chuck .SambOrosky spear
headed the 'Phi Mu offensive
attack while Dick Spevins
showed up well: on defense.
Les Cowan mastermind the
TPD offense, passing and running
brilliantly Over the rugged Phi
Mu defense. Nick Rodriguez and
Pete Dress also sparkled for the
losers, with Rodriguez being the
favorite pass receiver of Cowan.
Phi Kappa cashed in on an. old
time "sleeper" play to defeat Al
pha Phi Delta, 7-0. With the ball
on the APD two-yard line, Jim
Ross faded back and lofted a high
pass to Jack Scott, standing on
the left sideline unnoticed by the
APD defenders. Scott took the
ball in his aims and stepped
into the end zone- for the TD,
much to the dismay of the men
from APD. Ross added the extra
point that ended the scoring for
the ball game.
.„APD Displays Geed Offense
Earlier, APD and Phi Kappa
had each displayed a potent of
fensive and defensive attack,
which neither team could pene
trate.
APR's best scoring opportun
ity came in the early moments
of • the encounter. Jumbo Giom
bCtti received 'the kickoff on the
30 and flipped a pass to Bronko
Casciari who raced to the Phi
Kamm 25. But, two plays later,
