Squad Of 55 Gridders
Holds Light Scrimmage
Light scrimmage and signal
practice occupied varsity football
candidates yesterday as a full
squad of 55 members reported
.“ready to go” for the initial time
this Spring.
Draft and graduation did a good
job in cleaning out the backfield
material that was two and in some
cases three deep last season. Only
Jack Banbury and Aldo Cenci re
main of last fall’s backfield letter
men.
However, a wealth of material
coming up . from the undefeated
freshman eleven is expected to fill
the gaps in the rear guard. Bob
Weitzel, Dave Alston and Bud
Davis are ranked as potential first
string backs by Higgins. Outstand
ing in the line are guards Steve
Shuey and Leo Nobile.

Baseball Nucleus
With only three veterans as a
nucleus, the Lion baseballers are
finishing up their first week of
outdoor practice on a diamond “too
small for about 35 players.”
According to Coach Joe Bedenk,
the trio of returning stalwarts in
clude Southpaw Ed Tuleya, pitch
er; first baseman Bill Debler, and
Bill Thomas, short stop. Tuleya,
a junior, hurled the Lion nine to
a 21-1 win over Gettysburg last
year, limiting the Bullets to 4
safeties.
Draft has removed Alex Bassis
ta, catcher, and Bob Ruff, outfield
er, from the Nittany ranks. Also
absent, but by the diploma route,
are Jim Richardson, Bob Robinson,
Eddie Sapp, Peany Gates, John Eb
ersole and Chuck Medlar, ace
hurler who signed with Buffalo in
the minor league. :
“We expect to play our schedule
right through,” Bedenk said, “Ex
cept for a 'scheduled Bucknell
game on June 6. it’s too early to
tell what kind of a team we’ll
have, but I’m going to make the
first cut soon,” he added.
