Backfield Hopes High
As 3 Veterans Return
Coach Bob , Higgins has plenty
of reason to worry about his 1941
edition of the Nittany football
team as he attempts to fill the
shoes of last year's Seven Moun
tain line from end to end with the
season's opener against a strong
Colgate eleven at Buffalo only two
weeks away.
One letterman, Mike Kerns, re
turns at the forward wall and
three others will take up back
field duties. A guard last year,
Kerns will be converted into a
tackle. Backfield hopes for the
Lions are brighter because Cap
tain Len Krouse, right halfback,
will again team with Bill Smaltz
at fullback for a sure-fire passing
combination.
Pepper Petrella, temporarily out
with an infected finger, may earn
a starting assignment this year. He
will return to practice in a feW
dayS. lii informal scrimmages
against Navy at Annapolis last
week Petrella looked - fast and
shifty.
Ralph Ventresco will also as
sume duties at the tailback post
as a strong reserve and may share
starting assignments with Petrel
la. Ventresco was shifted from
fullback so he could be worked
into the same backfield with
Smaltz.
The Nittany backfield suffered
a heavy blow when Sparky
Brown_ was forced to drop out of
College because of ankle injuries
received in spring practice. Jack
Banbury, star freshman fullback
last year, was lost to the team in
the first practice when his shoul
der was injured. However, •Bari
bury is expected to return to
practice in a few days. but Brown
has not notified Higgins that he
will be able to return.
At quarterback there is a bat
tle raging between the more ex
perienced Paul Weaver and Aldo
Cenci, a 230-pound sophomore
who has loked brilliant at the post.
Coach Higgins has a number of
untried ends among which Bob
Davis, a fast and capable pass
receiVer, stands out. Wilbur Van
Lenten, out for several days with
a back injury, will make a strong
bid for a position. He will prob.
ably report for practice again late
next week.
Chuck Raysor, although light
for the center job, has shown de
termination to hold his own.
However, Bob Wear at 200 pounds
is still very much in the running
for the position.
Line Coach Joe Bedenk will
have his biggest job in develop
ing guards. Red Yoho and •Bob
Perugini have shown up well, but
Jim Bonham and John Jaf furs
may get in shape quickly. Paul
Schlegel at 220 pounds will battle
for a first string post if the na-

tice games with opponents yet un

tional emergency does not claim
him.
Tackles Mike_ Kerns and Ken

pair to date. Considerable reserve
power may be discovered after

New Number System
Adopted By Gridmeu
To help the spectators at the
gameS as well as: the radio and
press is the purpose of the new
football numbering system to be
used by the Nittany Lion elevenS

Lion opponents with numbers in
the 50's on their jerseys, while the
guards will use numbers in the
60's; tackles in the 70's; ends in
the 80's; blocking -backs in the
20's;, left halfbacks in the 40's;
fullbacks in the 30's; and the right
halfbacks in the 14 to 19 category.
Coach Higgins has made an ex
ception in the numbering system
