Rutherford, Jeffrey, Houck, Higgins Top 50 Life really begins at 50—and the activity of four Penn • State coaches will prove it. Golf coach. Bob Rutherford Sr.. at .63 years of age tops the list of athletic directors over 50 who are still leading Lion teams to Victory: Rutherford has coached the golf ers for 22 years, chalking up .107 wins out of 151 matches: "Doc" Leo "Doc" Houck-50. on his last' birthday—has taught more than 2000 trainees and civilians to 'de fend themselves in the ring since the war's ..outbreak. Houck ' has coached the .boxing •team° for 23 years, and his fighters 'have won the championship of the Eastern Intercdllegiate Boxing Associa tion seven times. Between 1907-23, before coin ing to State, Houck put on the gloves for 22. professional .games and triumphed in three-fourths of the bouts. Times knocked out? . . . none. ........................ Doc earned the European mid dleweight ' title in 19,12 and the same championship in • Canada. He walked off with the Cuban light heavyweight title some years later. The "Hig" ,Last Saturday Bob Higgins, 51- year-old football mentor, watched his 'team sink its sixth foe this— his 15th—season with the Lion gridders. ;Until 'West Virginia nosed out State this year, the Lions had not been•beaten at home since Lafay ette trounced them in 1938. Un 'der the capable leadership of the "Hig," the Lions were smothered only seven• times in the past gfive seasons, with three defeats com-; ing in 1943. The coach's greatest thrill came five years ago when the Lions vanquished Pitt, 'after having lost since 1919. The "Hig" is un doubtedly hoping for another thrill Saturday. 'Higgins -is looking forward to the post-war era when approx imately 50 of his star players will be coming back to State. Machinist Fifty-one-year-old Bill Jeffrey not only trains the soccer team, but teaches military trainees to handle drills and other equipment in the electrical machine shops. The soccer team has been man aged 17 years .by Jeffrey, .finish ing 12 seasons undefeated. Syra cuse in 1932 and Army and Navy this season handed Jeffrey his on ly defeats on home territory. Thir -ty of Jeffrey's players have rank ed All-American. Ironically enough, Jeffrey was injured while playirig .soccer in Scotland, so came to America to escape the .game. 1n.1.925 he was .asked to coach the Altoona Shops Eleven, and has been playing the game ever since. .Which only • goes. to prove; you can.% keep four good men Own, even after They've reached the ripe old. age of 50.

Saturday. This will be the 44th tussle between the two teams since 1893. While on the losing end in four of their last five meet ings with the Lions, Pitt still tops State over the years With 24 victories to 17. Only two games, those in 1920 and 1921, ended in deadlocks. Denied Victory for 20 years, the Nittany squad broke the spell with a 10-0 win in 1939. The follow ing year the Panthers came back to smash an undefeated season for the Lions, only to bow to Coach Bob Higgin's eleven in the three succeeding contests. Johnny Chuckran, sneedy back, who suffered a hip injury in the Temple game two weeks ago, will probably receive the starting nod. Elwood Petchel, Easton frosh, will share the left halfback duties Fullback Floyd Lang, who was injured in his 65-yard . touchdown gallop in the Maryland game, may not start Saturday. Harry Muckle will share the 'tailback honors with him. Dino Taccalozzi and Larry Cooney will again start as quar terback and right halfback. Starting in 'the line will be Bob Hicks and Don Miltenberger at the ends, Howard Caskey and Negley Norton as tackles, John Simon and Jim 'Matthews in the guard positions, and' Bronco Kosanovich at center. The Panthers will probably field an all freshman backfield with John Lozar at fullback, Paul Rickards at quarterback, and George Freese and Louise Yako pec in the halfback positions. Wingbacks Don Matthews and Bernie Sniscak will also see ,ac tion. At the line positions will be Ed Zimmovan and Bob Hawkins as ends, Al Phillips and Mike Rous sos •as tackles, and Ralph Cole man and George Rainni as guards. Either Ralph Hammond or Braner will start at center. FIRST .PLAYER BACK First and only prewar gridder to return to Penn State during the 1944 season was Nick Ranieri, re serve back.
