Don'! Forget the Game!
All students and servicemen
are . urged by Coach Bob Higgins
to ;, attend tomorrow’s practice
football- game between Penn
State and Franklin and Marshall
at 2 p.m. at New Beaver Field.
' “I’d' like to see everyone up at
the gamp,” was the comment made
by Higgins-yesterday when asked
about ■ attendance at the pre
jeason contest.
, The Nittany Lion grid coach
said that he would like- to see ev
eryone—oivilians and servicemen
•-—take a more active interest in
the team.
So. dqn’t forget the game to
morrow. If Penn State is to have
one of the top teams in the East
this year, school spirit can go a
long way towards achieving that
goal.

three months away, nearly 40
c-agers turned out for varsity bas
ketball practice this week.

¥-12 Barracks 13
Meals Army, 4-1
After jumping to an early lead,
V-12 Barracks 13 coasted to a
convincing 4-1 triumph over the
ASTP All-stars to win the College
Service Championship at the golf
course last week.
Once again it was the supei'b
pitching of Whitey Kurowski that
paved the way for the V-12 vic
tory. The Marine ace allowed on
ly' thi-ee hits while striking out
nine battel's.
Leading hitters of the game
were Johnny Marutiak and Ku
rowski. Both had two hits to their
credit.
Ban-acks 13 scoi-ed its first runs
in the opening frame when Bill
Larson and Kurowski crossed the
plate on Marutiak’s long single to
center field.
In the second inning the Ma
rines added another marker. Dan
Terzi walked and then Bill Cohill
singled. Terzi moved to second on
Cohill’s hit and came in bn Johnny
Schlesiger’s infield out.
The Army All-stars tallied their
lone run in the third when Ed
Vilasi and Len Yasui were issued
walks. Bernard Williams followed
with a hit to drive across Vilasi.
*' The winners put the game on ice
in the sixth by recording another
run on successive hits by Kurow
ski and Marutiak.

State Faces F&M
Penn
In Pre-Season Encounter
Franklin and Marshall’s strong gridiron eleven engages Penh
State’s football squad at New Beaver Field tomorrow afternoon in the
Nittany Lions only pre-season practice game of the year. The contest
will begin at 2 o’clock. \
Coach Bob Higgins stated this week that all students, service*
men, and faculty members will be admitted to the game free of charge,
The Lion squad has been preparing all week for tomorrow’s en
counter Ayith F & M. Coach Higgins believes his proteges have a good
chance of winning the cqntest.
Little is known about the visitor’s team this season. Last fall F
.& M lost only one game on its tough schedule. The defeat came at the
hands of Bucknell, 21-13, after the
Presidents had beaten the Bisons,
12-6, earlier in the year.
Allen' Richards will probably
do most of the running against F
& M. A 1 Bellas and Floyd Lang,
two freshman fullback candidat
es, will undoubtedly see action
when Richards isn’t in the con
test. Both are big and capable of
gaining valuable ground through
the line.
Johnny Chuckran and Elwood
Petchel will divide the tailback
duties. The two 18-year-old fresh
men have been very impressive in
scrimmage so far.
Now that Bill Abromitis has
left for the Naval Academy,
Coach Higgins is trying to find
someone to fill the right half po
sition. Larry Cooney, Ray Kurow
ski, and Ed Meyer are the more
outstanding candidates for the
wingback spot.
Earl Bruhn will start at quar
terback. The former Midwest
gridder. has shown up exception
ally well as a blocker. Ed Voll
and Dino Taccalozzi may come in
as substitutes.
Three freshmen—Don Milten
berger, Bob Hicks and John Sto
ken—and Dan Orlich are the ends.
Miltenberger and Orlich are well
over the six foot mark. However,
the two smaller lads are also in
the thick of the fight for the end
positions.
Ed Bush and Negley Norton will
handle the tackle slots. Marino
March! has been injured and may
not be able to play against F & M.
The guards are still open. The
fight seems to be among Bill Lar
son, Bob Rutkowski, Joe Drazen
ovich and John Simon.
Bronco Kosanovich has impro
ved with each practice and may
start at center instead of Chuck
Klausing.
