Only Three Veterans Return For Bucknell Soccer Team Haul out the crying towels, Lizzie, we've found a new client. He's Hank Peters, Buck nell's veteran soccer tutor, who sends his Bison booters against Penn State tomorrow afternoon at Lewisburg in the season opener for both schools. Peters is filled with much woe and grief this season and one can't rightly blame him.' Even Casey Stengel would have a hard time building a winner from a squad composed of only three lettermen, three jay vees, and 19 "rookies " But that's Peters' dim outlook. Captain Jim Salta, a junior, and senior Bob ^.:oal are the only starters returning from last 'year's Bison eleven. Tom Linton, an other junior, is the only other man who saw enough reserve ac tion in 1957 to qualify for a mono gram. After this trio. Peters has practically nothing. Halfbacks Phil Poneck and Tom Clark and lineman Larry O'Hara played briefly last fall, but it, was so brief that even Sam Spade would have trouble finding their names in the 1956 lineups. The rest of Bucknell's 26-man squad is made up of newcomers, some of whom are taking a crack at soccer for the first time in their Eves. In fact, Peters will have to rely on sophomore talent for most of his starting array. The Bucknell boss has indicated he expects to start seven yearlings against the Nittanies tomorrow.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Phils Sign Smith Again To One-Year Contract PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 26 (IP) —A new 1-year contract with a nay rise went today to Manager Mayo Smith. who pushed the Philadelphia Phillies a rung high er this year than most people 'figured they'd go. Salary terms weren't disclosed, but Smith reportedly made $lB,- 000 this year. - 'l7ln happy with the deal." he said at a news conference in club President Bob Carpenter's office at Connie Mack Stadium. Carpenter looked happy, too. Philadelphia has nailed down fifth place after steaming along in pennant contention part of the summer. "We're very pleased with the showing of Smith and his team full of rookies," said Carpenter and General Manager H. Roy Ha- mey as the three posed for pic tures. Good fortlme with his rookies probably accounted for Smith's pay boost more than any other one thing. Hamey cited the de velopment, particularly, of pitcher Jack Sanford and first baseman Ed Bouchee. As Smith signed for his fourth . year—considered lengthly ten ure in his business—a Phillies spokesman said the 1-year-only clause in the contract was sim ply "club policy." At that, Smith is second only to Cincinnati's Birdie Tebbetts in 'seniority among National League managers. Smith joined the Phils in 1955 after a successful managing ca reer in the New York Yankee sys tem.

Fine Foods OPEN q 24 HOURS A DAY "Tradition Demands Quality" JUST WHO'S PITTSBURGH FOOLING? For a school that boasts of its scholastic achievement on the part of athletes, Pittsburgh University certainly put its'record on the line Wednesday when its football squad left for a 10-day tour of the West Coast—football contests between Oregon, 'Saturday, and the University of Southern California the following week being the main objectives - of the tour. We don't begrudge the Pitt gridders this trip. In fact, you might say we almost envy them-10 days away from classes is nothing to sneeze at. Sure, the University administration announced that seven professors- were accompanying the team on the trip in order 'to teach the players their class work while they're at their new homes away from home. But. exactly how much of that time will be devoted to studies? We can't see very much time being spent burning that proverbial midnight oil—not on the West Coast. Granted, the gridders may get some class work in—but it won't amount to nearly half of what they would receive on their campus. The reason for our gripe? Simply this: Pitt has been noted for its cries of academic accomplishment especially when it concerns an athlete. Publicly, it's scholastics over athletics at Pittsburgh. But, this tour sets us to wondering. If academics were stressed at Pittsburgh, then why this 10-day reprieve from the books for two football games? To us, it simply proves one thing: Pitt wants to be a big-time football team and will go all out to become one —even at the expense . of scholastics. Now, we're not challenging Pitt's right to be a nationwide grid leader. More power to them. But, why hide it—the Panthers aren't fooling anyone ... not with trips like this. • a a DAN RADAKOVICH AIDING THE FROSH GRIDDERS— In case any of you frosh are wondering who the young coach is running around with the freshman football players, he's Dan Rada kovich, last year's starting center for the Nittany Lions: Rad's back on campus completing his studies for a degree in economics in the College of Business Administration. Although he was a senior last year, Radakovich left school before the end of the fall semester to answer the call of those taunting wedding bells— the former Miss Nancy Fluck, a former Penn State coed, was the bride. Before returning to campus. Badakovich gave a twirl at pro fessional football with the — Philadelphia Eagles. However, he was cut shortly before the opening of school. Hugh Devote, Eagle coach, said that Hadakovich had the potential to become a good professional linebacker, but just didn't have the grasp of pro play right then. When asked why he felt he was cut, Radakovich replied: "I got hurt just shortly before the cut. Although I don't know for sure, I guess the coaches felt I may have been prone to injury because of my size . I was lots smaller than most of those guys." He admitted that he liked pro football very much but could not say as yet if he would give it another fling. "I didn't find pro football too different from college ball . . . the calibre's about the same, just bigger in size. And they treated us real nice—like kings," he said. Right now, he's going to work towards that degree and give frosh mentor Earl Bruce a hand as he goes about it. Only the future will tell about professional -ball again. Meanwhile, the frosh line Will receive some expert football training from a boy who won his spurs with his sparkling play.
