Bob Rutherford Tees Off On 43rd Golfing Season Does your golf score resemble a baseball player's batting aver age? Don't be discouraged, that makes two of us. According to Bob Rutherford Sr., head Gold Coach at the Col lege, it's the toughest competitive sport there is. Bob should know because this is his 43rd golfing season, his last 24 having been spent at the College. Back in 1921 when he first came to the College as a golf instruc- tor, there was a four hole course. What now comprises the rest of the course was in those days a corn field. (Now, the corn is green,) The College has abandoned competitive golf for the duration, but under Coach . Rutherford many a good 'Penn State team has ranked with the best in the East. The records show that State golf ers have won two out of three meets with Bob at the helm. Add up the victories that have accum ulated over his coaching span of 24 years and they prove Bob Rutherford Sr. to be the great coach that he is. Are humorous incidents com mon on a golf course? You bet they are, he said. How about the day a man came dashing into the caddy house and up to the first Rutherford that a boy was driv ing balls from one of the greens. "Has he just played one?" ask ed the coach. "No, he has hit about a dozen," replied the man. Rutherford stormed out of the caddy house to inform Coach hole where the young golfer was diligently practicing his drives. "What, are you doing?" "I'm practicing," the boy an swered. "What are you practiCing off of?" asked Rutherford. "The tee," was the truthful re ply he received. The coach learned that this was the boy's first day on a golf course. He had just purchased the clubs and balls that morning and after all, the green was smooth, and looked like an excellent spot to practice. The boy had good taste anyway. The startling part about the whole episode was that not a Piece of turf was torn from the green, and yet he had driven more than . ten balls. 'Mr. Rutherford has two sons who are also mighty good golfers. Bob Jr. is on the College coach ing staff, and Ken, who is now home on 'leave from the South Pa cific, is a pro at the Centre Hills course. Strolling about was Ann Ruth erford. She's the charming daugh ter of Ken, and quite a golfer, too.

If you think you see a golf bag strolling over the course by itself someday, don't be alarmed, but look closely, because Ann will probably be on the other side of it. You see, she's only nine years old and it's just recently that she has outgrown her golf bag by a very few inches. Booters Show Drill Progress Soccer practice during the past two weeks has been highlighted by numerous intra-squad scrim mages. Progress has been made at a rapid pace and, according to Co-captains Herb Mendt and John . Hamilton, a bright season looms ahead. With the drills moving into its sixth week, men who loom as pos sible starters for the right full back position are Ed Hobart, V -12er, Jacque Hogg, who is now out for soccer after being side lined in football for a bad shoulder, and Juan Quiros, good neighbor from Costa Rica. Charles Appleman, veteran of last year's varsity,. and Navy man Geoerge. Martin are vieing for the left fullback spot. The only man now out for goalie is James Doman, a freshman who is making a very good showing. Running in close competition for the center halfback slot are Bob Rust and Ralph S'amppala, both of the V-12 unit. Two more sailors, Ken Holt, Seymour Shus teh, and civilians Wallis Lloyd and Bill Trisler are top contend ers for left halfback. Pacing the candidates for var sity right halfback are Grant Davis, 128 pound wreestling let terman,, George Varasz, a fresh man with a powerful kick, and Mario Santo Domingo who hails from Columbia: Elwood. Stetler, erstwhile ibaseballer, is also out for this position but is now out of action with a foot injury. On the right side of the line, Bill MeHale and Bob Keagy stand out as right outsides, while Co captain Herb Mendt heads the competitors for right inside. Jerry Cooper and Dick Jung are prom ising freshmen candidates for this job. Sparkling in play as centers, Don Rider, Army dischargee and '4l varsity player, and 'Rene Ro triquez, Latin American from Chile, are running a close race for starting positions. John HaMilton, who shares the coaching duties with Herb Mendt during Coach Rill Jeffrey's absence, and Paul Tfleuter share the spotlight for the left inside position. Tfleuter may be switched to left outside. Bob Stabley, V=l2, and Harold Miller are strong bidders in the competition for first string left outside. The 1945 season will mark Penn State's 59th consecutive year of intercollegiate football.
