JOhnny-On-The-Spot
Three years ago Penn State grid
fans had difficulty keeping their
scdre sheets straight. It seems
there were two Lion players who
bore the same name, Johnny Pat
rick. Both Johnnies were backs.
Both tipped the scales at near 185
and stood about the same distnce
above the grass of NeW Beaver
Field.
Perhaps a few State fans breath
ed a sigh of relief when the first
Johnny graduated, because now
they could keep .them straight.
There was only one in the lineup.
So maybe that's why Johnny
Patrick, Jr. was lost in the hustle
and bustle of the past• two years
though he played every game.
Maybe the reason he was lost was
because he was a blocking back.
Blocking backs haye that idiosyrr
cyasy.• -
Today, however, the second
Johnny is recognized as the player
of the week in the Philadelphia
district, taking over the spot held
last week by Frank Reagan of
Penn.
Curiously enough, Johnny gain
•ed his honor by virtue of his splen
did signal-calling in the Temple
game, somethiFig which few foot
ball fans ever think of unless the
play•:caller chooses the wrong one.
You might say that when a
player is honored for calling sig
nals correctly, and for his block
ing ability, he must have been out
standing. We certainly agree with
the lads - who honored our Johnny.

Maxwell Trophy For Outstandi
Backfield Grid Star Will
Receive Award On Monday
Johnny Patrick, unsung hero
and guiding force of the undefeat
ed Penn State football team has
been awarded the Maxwell Mem
orial Club trophy for his brilliant
performance in the Lions' victory
-over Temple, Bert Bell, president
of the club, announced yesterday.
The award, 'presented to the
player-of-the-week, is based on
the selection of Philadelphia foot
ball coaches and sports writers.
Patrick will leave for Philadel
phia on Monday along with Coach
Bob Higgins to receive the trophy
at a banquet at the Warwick Hotel.
Frank Reagan, Penn's high scor
ing halfback was the last recipient
of the award.
In winning one of the highest
honors bestowed upon a Lion grid
der In recent years, the hard block
ing sen,ior quarterback is finally
gaining recognition for his out
standing playing do State teams of
the past three years. Patrick's
brilliant football career' was cli
maxed by his outstanding per
formance in the Owl tilt as Phila
delphia sport writers accorded full
praise to Johnny's almost flawless
signal calling and murderous
blocking.
A substitute to Sammy Donato
in his sophomore year, Patrick
came into his oWn in the '39 Buck
nell game and besides starting
every battle since, has performed
iron man duty in each one. He
never carries the ball himself but
paves the way for Petrella, Peters,
and other •backs.
He has crashed into the scoring
column several times, however,
with his accurate placement kick
ing. It was his 25-yard field goal
and extra/ point conversion that
gave the Lions the necessary mar
gin for a 17-13 win over West
Virginia. His successful field goals
in the Penn and Pitt games last
year will be remembered by Lion
fans.
In addition to gridiron achieve
ments, Patrick is also a varsity
letter winner on the boxing team.

Lions Expect Aerial
Attack When Gamecocks
Appear Here Saturday
For the second successive Satur
day the undefeated Lion gridders
will find their pass defense put
to a hard test. Literally showered
with forward passes by Temple's
Al Tomasic, the State eleven ex
pects another aerial bombardment
when it faces South Carolina here
on Saturday.
Against such two strong aggre
gations as Clemson and Duquesne,
the Gamecocks 'scored five touch
downs. Still in search of their first
victory of the season, the South
erners will shoot the works to
upset the Lions' win streak.
Coach Bob Higgins drilled his
backs on pass defense for the third
successive day yesterday.
State's lineup for Saturday's
fracas will remain intact. Tom
Vargo and 'Lloyd Parsons at end,
Frank Platt and Carl Stravinski
at tackle, Wade Mori and Mike
Garbinski at guard, and Captain
Leon Gajecki at center will start
in, the line.
From all indications, the veter
an backfield of Johnny Patrick,
Chuck Peter& Craig White and
Bill Smaltz will be on the field at
the opening kickoff.
Jaspers Offer harriers
Stiffest Dual Competition
Pointing toward their bigg9St
dual cross-country race of the sea
son with Manhattan, last year's
IC4-A championship team, the
Nittany Lion harriers ran , a stiff
five-mile pace-making grind yes
terday.
'With the bad news that Alex
Bourgerie, second best Lion har
rier, might be out of action this
year because his pulled tendon has
failed to respond to treatment,
Coach Chick Werner finds that he
has a few unexpected possibilities
in Vern Kotz and Bill Burkhart.
This harrier pair has suddenly
swung into top-notch form in the
past week's workouts, and they
show good promise •in filling the
shoes of Herm Goffberg and Max
Peters, injured varsity men who
resumed harrier practice this week.
Captain Bill Smith will seek his
third straight season's triumph
when he races the Jaspers across
the Van Cortland Park course
where he gained fame as the 1938
IC4-A champ.
Vargo Elected President
Of Phys Ed Fraternity
Tom Vargo varsity end on the
football eleven, has been elected
president of Phi Epsilon Kappa,
professional physical education
fraternity.
Other officers, all enrolled in the
College's School of Physical Edu
cation and Athletics, are Craig
White. vice-president; Lawrence
Tate, treasurer; and Donald Yoho,
historian.
The University of South Caro
lina passing combination of Al
Grygo, halfback, to Alex Urban,
end, is probably the most danger
our in the Palmetto state this fall.
Against Duqesne this aerial mind
ed pair struck twice for 12 points.
d Work In Temple Ti
ng Gri
Jordan Hall's tally came late in
the second period after Roman
Omolecki's pass to Cohen brought
them into scoring territory. A play
later, Omolecki again passed to
Cohen who lateraled the ball to
Pete Kronis for the goal. The at
tempt for the extra point failed.
The SAE-Alpha Chi Sig game
quickly developed into a passing
duel between SAE Johnny Barr
and Alpha Chi Sig's Dick Vollmer.
Barr's passes to Freddy Baldwin
and Stover accounted for most of
SAE's gains.
