Rip Engle and the winged-T are new innovations at Penn State
this year, but the 1950 gridiron story will be the same as ever—nine
teams will meet the Nittany Lions seeking to rub the Big White in
the mud of Beaver Field and five other ballyards around the country.
Only two newcomers have been added to the 1950 card, with
Georgetown and Rutgers replacing Michigan State and Villanova.
The schedule, from the first game with Georgetown at home on
September 30, to the traditional ruckus with Pittsburgh, is calculated
to give Engle and his charges trouble every Saturday. Pre-season
writeups, the morning line of the football world, show no letups and
some definite "hard ones."
Noted observers appear to have rated the teams on the Lions'
schedule in the following fashion.
GEORGETOWN—Bob Margarita, in his second year at the helm
of the Hoyas, finds himself in the unenviable position of losing 20
lettermen from last year's squad which boasted a 5-5 record and went
to the Sun Bowl. End Bob Noppinger, All-East selection last year, is
the team's big gun in the T attack. Margarita has two veteran quar
terbacks, Frank Mattingly, and Captain Tom Hardiman, but will de
pend largely upon a sophomore line with veteran Bob Fortunato
spearheading the forward wall at tackle. Gino Paglucia looks like the
best of the rookies.
ARMY—Undoubtedly the class of the East. Despite the team
being undefeated since 1947 and owning a win streak of 21 straight,
and despite the fact that All American quarterback Arnold Galiffa
is gone, Coach Red Blaik and his Black Knights appear to be none
the worse for wear. Bobby Blaik, son of the coach, appears quite able
to take over Galiffa's position though he played in Galiffa's shadow
last year and saw only limited action. Gil Stephenson, halfback, and
Captain Dan Foldberg, at end, have already been selected on one All-
American team—Bill Stern's Crystal Ball All-American for Sport
magazine. Working with Stephenson and Blaik in the backfield will
be veterans Frank Fischl and Jim Cain.
SYRACUSE—FIoyd Schwartzwalder, in his sophomore year
with the Orange, may have a hot team with Bernie Custis as his
one man air force. Schwartzwalder, who brought his own formation,
a split winged-T with an unbalanced line, to Syracuse, will have a
hot hod in big Bill Wetzel, a fullback who has received rave notice.
But, like many other schools, sophs will play a big part here with , 2s
listed for berths on the first three squads. A better line on the Syra
cuse eleven can be had after their meeting with Rutgers and Temple
In the first two contests of the 1950 season.
NEBRASKA—State will be the only Eastern opponent that the
Cornhuskers face this year. Rated as fourth in the Big Seven, but
surprising no one if they do better„ the Huskers figure to have only
one man in the starting eleven without varsity experience. Bill Glass
ford, who starts his second year at the Nebraska helm, is depending
on rookies to make the difference between a good and a mediocre
season. He has seven first stringers back and a potential backfield
star in sophomore Bobby Reynolds.
TEMPLE—AI Kawal will have 32 members of his '49 squad re
turning, but his•two backfield guns, Paul Dubentezky and Bill Bernar
do arc gone. Gavin White, who played halfback last season, has been
working out at the quarterback slot: The first string backfield seems
to be White at quarter, Ed Bateman at full, and Bill Bonsall and
speedster Nick Caterina at the halfback posts. Ralph Hanson, how in
his fourth season for the Owls, is a handy man who is slated to see
Much action. Temple will also meet Syracuse and Rutgers this Fall.
WEST VIRGINIA—Art "Pappy" Lewis, erstwhile Cleveland
Ram star, must rely heavily on sophomores in his rebuilding program
in his first year with the Mountaineers. Lewis, who will guide the
team in its first year as a member of the Southern Conference, has
31 lettermen back, but has lost 16 veterans. Bill Allen, who will work
under center• in Lewis' T attack, and tackle Joe Berkish, head the
returnees. ,
RUTGERS—The Scarlet will have one outstanding man on the
squad, if nothing else. Leon Root has been making everybody's pre
season All-American selections and is listed as a man to watch this
Fall. Coach Harvey Harman looked over his smallest squad since the
war, 43, in August, and found himself thin in offensive backs. How
ever, he seems to have some promising young material, more now
than in recent years.
PITTSBURGH—Len Casanova, who replaces Mike Milligan,
comes up with the T formation. Though 19 lettermen are returning,
he retains none of last year's offensive backfield. Guard Mike Bold
in and tackle Nick Bolkovic are counted on to bolster the Panthers'

Extension Of 14 Game Win Streak
Is Goal Of Penn State Soccermen
Coach Bill Jeffrey and his 1950 version of the Penn State soccer team will have thOir
eyes on one main objective for the coming campaign--the extension of their current 14-
game winning streak.
Although Jeffrey has possibly lost ALI-American Dick Hannah, he will 'receive ,some
unexpected help froin another quarter. Gus Bigot, an All-American forward man in 1938,
will return to State this year and be eligible for competition.
In addition to Bigot, a Venezuelan, the Edinboro Scot will have All-American. Harry
Little returning for action again.
Little, captain of the 1950 squad,
was picked at the inside right slot
in 1949
Beside Little, the list of return
ing lettermen includes Joe Lane,
the Nittanies' leading scorer last
year with 11 goals, Ron Coder, -
who gleamed at goalie, fullback
Jack Yerkes, and forwards Clar
ence Buss and Ron Coleman.
Hannah might possibly return
for another season, but Jeffrey
said that having played a few
minutes in games during his
sophomore year, he could pos
sibly be disqualified from fur- 1
ther competition.
In addition to Hannah, Jeff has
lost fullback Chuck Margolf,
halfbacks Ralph Hosterman, and
Will Kraybill, goalie George
Lawther and outside left Ted
Lieb. Hannah and Hosterman
were both All-American choices
in 1948, and Hannah received
honorable mention last season.
Jeffrey, who took his team to
the first collegiate soccer bowl
game last year, and later piloted
an all-star team in the World's
Cup. series in Brazil, must rely
heavily on sophomores to fill in
at the three halfback slots and as
reserves.
For those spots he has his eye
on newcomers Curt Klaus.. Nu
gent, Yucsavage and Charlie
Shilling.
Jeff anticipated a "fair team,"
with most of his trouble coming
from Temple, Maryland, Navy,
and North Carolina. The laugh
ing Scot expects to pull no sur
prizes, to which lacrosSe Coach
Nick Thiel, who was sitting in on
the conversation, enjoined, "The
only surprise will come when he
loses another game." Jeff smiled
unperturbedly, and it was hard
to tell whether or not he thought
that would be a surprise too.
Last year's hooters tallied 33
points in winning eight straight
and pulled off a last minute 2-2
tie in the soccer bowl game with
Can Francisco? . in St. Louis on
New Year's Day. The last defeat
was suffered at the hands of Navy

teams.
The coverboy is Ron Cole
