7 5 A.GE FOUIt Ken Yount, Ace Rifleman, Follows Brother's Footsteps When it comes to blasting the bull's eye, there's only one ma on the Lion rifle team that can compete with Coach Harold W. Yount And that's his kid brother, Ken Yount; captain of the squad. BOTH AT PENN STATE Harold is an Army captain on duty with the ROTC department, while Ken is a senior studying commerce aid finance. . • The two boys have been rivals for a number of years. Harold first became interested in rifle when he was a freshman at Penn State, and fired on the 1940 ROTC team The following year he led the ROTC team in winning the Hearst trophy in the Third Service Command area. In 1942, his Junior year, Harold was co-captain of the Lion team. Firing in the Nationals at Annapolis, Harold scored 382 to take fifth place and become an All-American. But also firing at Annapolis was - his brother, Ken, who had been handling a rifle since his high school days. He fired a 385 to top his brother's score and take third place in the national competition. Ken was only a freshman, how ever, and his score could not be entered in the championship com petition. During the war, rifle was one of the varsity sports at Penn State that was curtailed. So neither Harold nor Ken had a chance to fire in 1943. IN THE ENGINEERS Harold received his degree in engineering and his reserve corn mission in the Corps of Engineers, and during the war he served in the South Pacific. .A year ago he was assigned to the ROTC depart ment. Ken also left the campus in the spring of 1943 and spent nearly three years in the Army Air Corps as a fighter pilot. He returned in on the inactive list. This season, Ken is realizing his first opportunity to try for an All-American berth. He's hoping to better his season's average of 384 when he fires in the intercollegiates at Pittsburgh tomorrow. His top score in meets this year has been 388. After the rifle season closes, Ken will concentrate his aim on a pitcher's glove. Last Spring, he bore the pitching burden for a Penn State baseball team that won all of its games but two. Because of the apparent conflict, Ken confines his golfing, to ama teur circles during the summer months, and last year won first honors in the Kittanning Country Club tournament. He also has acquired a high degree of success in the classroom, and owns for himself a place on the honor roll. Ken's ultimate aim in life is to to own a sporting- goods store in Kittanning, where he plans to handle rifles as well as other types of sporting goods. But before he gets around to that, he'd like a chance to play professional baseball, and perhaps some golf. Gridders Join Professionals Penn State's representation in professional lootbs l ll is still grow ing. Latest to join the play_for-pay ranks is Bernard Brosky, big pre war tackle, who'll join Johnny Jaffurs on the Washington Red skins roster. Jallifurs, former all-America guard of WilkinSburg, is back on campus to finish his schooling but will return to, the Redskins next fall for his second season of pro_ ball. Already signed by the Pitts burgh Steelers, professional alma mater of two former Lions, Chuck Cherundolo and Bob Davis, are Bill ('Red) Moore, Paul (Manny) Weaver, and Bronco Kosanovich.
