In Track, Football
Newest addition to the Penn
State athletic program is the
".`shuttle race."
With a handful of athletes
bearing the manpower burden
under wartime conditions, Lion
coaches daily find their best tal
ent shuttling from track to foot
ball.
Dividing their practice hours
between track and football are
at least five navy-marine trainees,
and three freshman athletes. The
majority spend the first half hour
'with . football, and then finish up
on the track.
Three of the five V-12 trainees
devote their time in track to the
weight events, and concentrate
on line plays in football. This trio
is composed of Ed Bush of Ther
mopolis, Wyo., Dan Orlich of
Chish3lm, Minn., and Paul Swig
gum- of Minneopolis, Minn. All
arc marines and former North
western gridders.
The two backfield prospects,
both broad jumpers and dashmen,
are Marine Pvt. Dick McCown of
Philadelphia and Apprentice Sea
man Frank Rainear of Wynne
wood. McCown played on the
Lion eleven last fall, while Rain
car is a transfer from Princeton.
• The freshman football-track
prospects are Dino Taccalozzi of
Sayre, Negley Norton of Altoona,
and Johnny Chuckran of Laps , :
ford: All three excelled in both
sports as schoolboys.
