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.
