Before leaving with the team
this morning Coach Higgins said
that he plans to start the same
lineup which opened against Muh
lenberg. He pointed out that Ma
rino Marchi will not be in uni
form because the 220-pound sop
homore tackle hurt his ankle this
week after recovering fully from
an injured shoulder.
Bob Rutkcwski, stellar Lion'
guard, will not play because of
scholastic difficulties. There is a
possibility that Left Guard Bill
Larson may riot get into the game'
for .the same reason. '
Bob Hicks and” Dan Orlich will
start at 'the ends for Penn State.
Ed B.ush arid Howard Caskey will
fill .trie .tackle slots, and Bruce Al
len and Bill Larson or Johri Si
riiQn -will. handle the guard posi
tions. Chuck Klausing is the ceri
ter.
- In tire backfield,. trie quartet
of Earl Bruhn, Elvvood Petchel,
Ed Meyer, and Al Richards will
face tire Middies. However, Coach
Riggins says that Johnny Chuck
fan, Al Lang, Joe Drazenovich,
and a number of other backs, will
get into the game early.
The Navy backfield is equally
as large and capable. Fullback
Joe Sullivan and Left Half Hal
Hamberg are the standouts on the
team. Both played an important
part in the first game with the
Pre-Flight Cloudbusters. Other
starters are Dick Duden, quarter
back, and Jim Pittit, right half.
On the line are Leon Bramlett,
left end; Don Whitmire, left tack
le; Ed Deramee, left guard; Jack
Martin, center; Ben. Chase, right,
guard; Gail Gilliam, right tackle;
and Ben Martin, .right end. rf
Have a“Coke”=Vsfelcome back
... or giving a returned soldier a taste of home
There’s an easy way to make a- soldier on furlough feel right at
home. It’s to offer him refreshing Coca-Cola. Have a “Coke" is
always the hospitable thing to say. In many lands overseas, as in
your own living room, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes,
—has become a happy symbol of hospitality, at home as every
where else.
