THE COLLEGIAN ? 0- ' w ''-' 808 DAVIS S-. # * Former Lions Seek Berths Qn Army 11s Four former Penn State_ football luminaries are now candidates for berths on Uncle Sam’s service elevens at Army Air Force bases scattered throughout the country. Mike Garbinski, Lou Palazzi, Bob Perugini, and Bob Davis—all standout gridders while at the College—are working out daily under the hot summer sun at their respective stations in preparation for the coming season. Garbinski, who spent two years in the South Pacific with a medium bomber squadron, is now at Lin coln, Nebr., with the Air Corps. While attending Penn. State he played first string guatd on the 1939 and 1940 teams. J.ust two weeks ago Garbinski visited Coaoh Bob Higgins. He said that he intends to return to the campus after the war and finish his senior year. Garbinski, who entered the Army in 1941, was the first Lion athlete to become a member of the armed forces in World War,Tl. Lou Palazzi and Bob Perugini are both trying out for the Second Army Air Force eleven at Colo rado Springs, Colo. Lt. Sever J. Toretti, another former Penn State gridder, just recently was named line coach at the base. Palazzi has his eyes on the cen ter slot. In 1942 he was varsity center arid captain.of the team at Penn State. The Dunmore ace was noted for his excellent defensive play, as an undergraduate. The other Nittany candidate at Colorado Springs is Bob. Perugini, who was voted the most outstand ing man in the School of Physical Education and Athletics as a sen ior in 1942. Perugini shows promise of cap turing one of the guard positions on the Second Air Force squad. He was a guard on the . 1941 Lion eleven. Seeking an end berth at Ran dolph Field this fall is Bob Davis, who held down one of the 'end positions at Penn State in 1942. Davis is competing with Jack Rus sell, who made the All-America service team last year, and Don Looney, one of the pro league’s greatest wingmen, for the end po sition. Also on the squad are Bill Dud ley, top ground gainer of the Na tional Professional League; Tom Robertson, center of the Brooklyn pro club; and Pete Lay den, Texas fullback in 1941. Two Penn State men who are coaching service elevens this sea son are Lt. Comdr. Glenn Killinger and Lt. J. Neil "Skip” Killinger is at North Carolina (Pre- Flight and Stahley at San Diego Naval Training Station. Higgins Loses Abromitis To U. S. Naval Academy Coach Bob Higgins will lose one of his star backs tomorrow when A/S Bill Abromitis, one of the four veterans on the Lion squad, leaves for Annapolis, Md., to enter the United States Naval Academy. f The husky Tamaqua seaman received word earlier in the week that he was to report to Annapolis tomorrow and immediately begin classes at the midshipmen’s school. Rgp. Ivor Fenton of Pennsyl vania secured the appointment for Abromitis. i There was good news in the Lion camp today also. Coach Hig gins said that Allen Richards, marine fullback who dislo.cated his right shoulder last month, will be ready for scrimmage this coming week. In addition to Richards, fi.ve other plays were on the injured list until the middle of the past week. However, all of them are now working out daily at New Beaver Field. Johnny Chuckran and Dick Mc- Cown were both out for about a week. Chuckran suffered from a twisted left hip, and McCown was badly bruised on the right side of his body. The two men are candidates for the tailback po sition. Negley Norton, tackle, John Stoken, end, and Bob Dimmerling, guard, were other players who were on the shelf. Brightest spot in recent scrim mages has been the play of El wood Eetchel, freshman left half from Easton. Despite his small physical structure the tailback makes up what he lacks in size w'th speed and maneuverability. Sixteen-year-old Larry Cooney is another freshman lad who is doing good work in the backfield. The Pittsburgh boy is competing with Ray Kurowski and Ed Meyer for the right half position. Earl Bruhn is continuing his ex cellent play at the signal-calling post. Ed Voll, Dino Taccalozzi, and Del Elder are the other candidates for quarterback,. Handling the fullback spot since Richards got hurt has been Floyc Lang. Bellas and Mark May- Quarterbacks Assemble ■Penn State’s Monday Morning Quarterbacks will have their say again this year, hut the opportu nity may not be granted until Tuesday or Wednesday of each week. Similar conditions prevailed last year, when game films could not be returned to State College from the processing plant in Rochester, N. Y., until the middle of the week. However, Coach Bob Higgins will again be on hand to explain the more intricate plays of the previous Saturday’s contest. He will also answer any questions that businessman-audience may have concerning the game. Conditioning To Be Tough Prewar athletic stars may find it difficult to regain their former playing condition after three or four years in the armed services, according to Jack Hulme, veteran Penn State trainer. “No man can stay away from his job a couple of years and go back expecting to take up where he left off,” asserted Hulme, who has been conditioning college ath letes for the last 20 years. The Lion trainer added that he hoped the war would not be pro longed to the point where many brilliant athletes of prewar years would be relegated to the shelf when they resumed athletic activ ity. While at the College, Hulme has hap filed many boys who enlisted or were drafted and will be com ing back after the war to partici pate in athletics. PAGE SEVEN strovich, two first semester fresh- men, also have been in action as fullbacks, At the ends, Don Miltenberger, Bob Hicks, and John Stoken have been working out. Ed Bush, Ma rino Marchi, and Negley Norton form the trio most likely to see action at tackle. Battling /for the guard positions are Bill Larson, Joe Drazenovich, Bob Rutkow ski, and John Simon. Centers are Chuck Klausing, Joe Kosanovich, Jack Milsom, and Bob McCoy.
