Goach Bob Rutherford usually
does not ask for a handicap for his
players when they are" out on the
links but this spring he has one
-whether he wants it or not! Snow
and lots of it.
■ For the second time - in two
weeks, the white stuff that seems
to be so prevalent here in the Nit
tany Valley high above the rest of
the state has come down in
bunches to bury the golf course.
Rutherford said last night that his
golfers were just beginning to hit
their stride in the practice sessions,
and that he has hopes for a win
ning team this year, that is, if they
ever get a chance to practice.
If this year’s, team turns ,in as
good a showing against its first op
ponent, West Virginia, as did the
teams in the past two years, Penn
State has nothing to fear. The
Lion golfers downed the Mountain
eers 71/2-11/2 in their first meeting,
and 6%-2i/ 2 in the second encoun
ter.
Rutherford, starting his 21st sea
son with the Nittany golfers, says
that he has not yet selected a start
ing team, since there is so much
ne\y material out, and the course
has been in no condition for them
to show their stuff. However, God
and the weather permitting, Penn
State’s golfers will take to the
links, with the first little April
sunbeam.
Weather Requires Indoor
Chalk Talks For Gridmen
Just as it affected practice of the
spring sports, the snow drove
Penn State’s football men indoors
last night. With a scheduled
scrimmage called off by Bob Hig
gins and the coaching staff, the
varsity gridders moved to the
■basement of Irvin Hall to brush up
on their plays with a chalk talk.
Main activity of assistant
coaches Edwards and Michaels
during the past few days has been
the continuous running through
plays so necessary to blend the in
experienced ’45 gridders with the
experienced men from last year’s
varsity. Wednesday the team prac
