Gridders Set To Begin
53rd Season; 50 Report
For First Drill Session
“We’ll be better this year—and biggei, but you can
guess as well as I just how many games we’ll win. Our sched
ule is a -lot tougher this season.”
Coach Bob Higgins summed up the Nittany Lion football
preview in those few words as he begins his tenth yeai as the
Lions’ head man. This year will mark the Blue and White’s
53rd session along the gndnon battlefiont
Facing a campaign which in
eludes combats with Bucknell, Le
high, Cornell, Syracuse, Maryland,
Penn, Army and Pittsburgh, the
Higginsmen are looking for a de
cided upswing In Penn States climb
back to football greatness As Hig
gins stated, the prospects this year
me brighter with regulars return
ing at nearly every position, and
stiong leplacements coming up
horn the freshman squad of last
year
Headed by Captain Spike Alter,
stellar end, approximately 50 can*'
didates begin drills today (Sep
tember 7) foi the first clash with
Bucknell here on October 7 Grad
uation’s toll was not too heavy this
yeai on the Lion squad, bul a
seaich will be on for reserve inu*
teiial, especially at the fullback,
guard, and center posts
Last .season, the Nittanymen
were in (lire need of on efficient
passer and kicker Coming up from
the fieshmen of lost vear ore two
good passers and several good
punters These men should bolstei
the Lion scoiing punch, but at the
came time may cause the loss of
games this season because of lack
of experience.
Lions Will Be Heavy
When, the question of size is con
side! ed, Penn State will be able to
field a heavier team this season
than at any time during the last
ten years The backfield is especi
ally strong,ln the weight depart
ment but is still fast, tricky, and
versatile A line averaging close to
200 pounds is available with re
ceives who will be able to keep up
that average
The men who have been “invit
ed” to retui n foi the practice
drills are
Backs—Jack Day, Bill Debler,
