PAGE SIX Hoak Selected As 'Player of the Week' Dick Hoak became the first Lion gridder to win the Collegian "Player of the Week" honor twice this season as he received a majority in this week's balloting on the Holy Cross fi ay-. In fact, he has now been selected for two consecutive weeks Last week he shared the; award with running mate Kerr, the other member of the sophomore halfback tandem. The convei led quart e r back, picked up 54 yards in seven ear-I fio►n his number two lefti half position to pace his mates onl an afternoon when just ab o uti ever pine saw action. He was des-I ienatcd for the weekly honor on; tin ee of five ballots. The three non-Collegian mem bers of the selection board cast I their v o t es for the promising sophomore. Center Daily Times sports editor Ron Field, broad caster Mickey Bergstein, and alumni secretary Ridge Riley all thought it was "hard to pick one man." Hoak seemed to be the bright est spot on a team where "most everyone played a good game." Hoak compiled 34 of his 54 yards an a counter play sent in by Coach Engle in the second quar ter. It was a play where the team starts moving to the left and Iloak counters to the right. Thanks to a crushing block by. Lion guard Bud Kohlhaas, the speedy halfback was sprung loose for a long gain. Matt Mathews, Collegian asso ciate sports editor, cast his vote for Captain Steve Garban. The aggressive Lion center, whom Holy Cross Captain Jim Healy (himself endeared with a rather prominent probiscis) good-natur- ONLY DAYS UNTIL PITT edly claims has the "biggest nose in football," was a bulwark in the Nittany forward wall, "He played a good game offen sively and an outstanding game Tests Prove Schoendienst 111 With TB MILWAUKEE ( )—Tests have disclosed that second baseman Red Schoendienst definitely has tuberculosis and probably will not play baseball next season. the Milwaukee Bray es, an nounced Tuesday.

Schoendiest now is a patient at Mount St. Rose Sanitarium in St. Louis. Davidson quoted Dr. Martin as saying, "It is quite likely that he might not play next year, but we are optimistic about a full recov ery." The 35 r year-old infielder. who led the Braves to the 1957 World championship, entered a St. Louis hospital about 10 days ago for a checkup. Tests to determine whether he had tuberculosis were begun at that time.

And for a player who had already received an All-American nomination, that is saying a lot." The other vote was garnered by senior quarterback Al Jacks, who was tabbed for the honor by Collegian sports editor Lou PrWo. "That was his best game sines:, he was injured against Syracuse last year," said Prato. "He looked like the Jacks of old." "There were other stars Satur day," continued the sports editor, "including Pat Botula, Andy Mo conyi, Richie Lucas, Jim Kerr, Maury Schleicher, Steve Garban, Bill Popp and Charlie, Ruslavage. But I think Al was the best. His passes were perfect and he han dled the team like the good quar terback that he is."

PENNSYLVANIA Holy Cross Sees Lions Beating Pitt One of the best ways to sum up a team's chances about an upcoming opponent is to consult someone who has played both. The mutual opponent is Holy Cross and the first commenta tor was Crusader head coach Ed die Anderson: "Of your performance today. you could beat both Syracuse and Pitt—ln fact, I'd almost say you could beat Pitt 'with ease.' "You're as big as Pitt, and you're as fast. No, you looked faster than Pitt. But then I un• derstand you play 'hot-and cold' on Saturdays." (Editor's note: We play Pitt on a Thursday.) Captain Jim Healy speaking for the players: "I don't know how you guys lost any games. I can't see how you lost to Syracuse—but then I couldn't see how Pitt could lose to Syracuse either. "If I had to pick between you and Pitt right now, I'd take Penn State." On the field, Healy had many "lighter" comments on the game according to Lion Captain Steve Garban. "Once when I asked the refs !to measure for a first down," Garban related, "Healy looks at me and says `Garban you can't see past your crooked nose.' So I told him, 'What're you giving me, your nose is more pushed in than mine." In the locker room. Healy admitted that his nose "may be a little worse, but Garban's got the biggest nose I've ever played against." And in a seri ous voice added, "And he's good too." During the game, first manager Lonny Wolf "happily" reported that Garban's glasses w ere broken for the second straight week. Lonny was responsible at the West Virginia game, but this time Steve broke them himself— according to Lonny. Incidentally, although the Cru saders' Healy played a good game, linebacker Charlie Ruslav age had an easy time. It seems Healy "pointed" the plays. —By MATT MATHEWS Delivery CHRISTMAS L. G. c lidi f ottr Co. 1:=M:1 EM:M] IM:=3 in the "A" Store The Sportseer s. • Greene Impresses 4 I There were two pro grid scouts in attendance at last Sat urday's Penn State-Holy Cross game. Their primary mission was to scrutinize the wares of the Crusader All-American quarterback candidate Torn Greene. And although Greene's performance was way under par, the play-for-pay spys still came away impressed. "He's a real fine passer," said the Green Bay Packer's observer Jack Morton. "It's too bad his re ceivers couldn't hold on to the ball today. ' Otherwise, he would have completed many more pass es." Green hit on only three of 11 aerials for a mere 33 yards and had two passes intercepted. Be fore the game, the 6-1, 190-pound whiz had been the third best pass er in the East with 48 strikes on 102 throws for 814 yards and three TDs. "We're definitely interested in him," Morton added. 'But so is everyone else. In fact, each pro team is looking for a quar terback every year, even if they have two outstanding quarter backs on the team already. That's how important a quar terback is." Al Sherman of the New York Giants echoed Morton's senti ments. ''This Greene is a tough !quarterback," he said. "Just the !type we're looking for. I don't know whether he'll get drafted !first or not, but he'll he up there ihigh." ! Asked to compare Green with some of the other quarterbacks he has scouted this fall, Sherman said: "He's by far the best I've seen. Right behind him comes boys like Randy Duncan of lowa and Don Allard of Boston Col (lege.i Down another class would be Chuck Zimmerman of Syra cuse."

"He can really throw that ball," Morton said. "He looked great today," Sherman added. What about Richie Lucas? "Well," the Green Bay ambas sador said, "he's a great faker and a great ball handler. And he also has the size. But if he ever wants to make the pros, he'll have to improve on his passing. 1 0f course, he's only a junior and has a whole year to do it. "A quarterback can't make the pros on his running alone. If that's all he can dd, the defense will tighten-up and put seven or eight of those big 270-pounders up front and they won't be moved. But with passing the defense has to spread out and guard for either a pass or run. That's why the best I place to score is around the 30- yard line. The defense is spread. But around the goal line the de fenses tighten-up expecting a run. And if there is a pass, there's not much room for the offensive ends ;and halfbacks to maneuver in Ithat end zone. "As for a pro quarterback," Morton continued, "sometimes it takes five or six years for a boy to become a polished 08. Take Y. A., Tittle for example.
