Yount from an outfielder into his
most dependable hurler, believes

make the big time” in spite of his
two setbacks and reports that In
dian officials are pleased with his
pitching.

Wartime Talent
To Aid '47 Lions
.Wartime talent from the fresh
man-dominated teams of 1944 and
1946 will be the source of at least
a dozen players when Penn State’s
1947 football squad assembles for
pre-season drills late in August.
Among the 65 players whom
Coach' Bob Higgins expects to in
vite to the early drills are Johnny
Chuckran' of Lansford. Larry
Cooney ot Pittsburgh, and A 1 Bel
las of Kingston, all outstanding
backs who are now returned to
civilian status.
-Of the linemen with prior ex
perience. the more outstanding are
Charles Drazenovich, center, of
Brownsville, and hi s brother, Joe,
who plays either guard Or block
ing back; Bob Hick of Lancaster
and Don Miltenberger of Easton,
both ends: Johnny Simon guard,
of Brownsville, and Negley Nor
ton,, tackle. of Altoona.
LUTHER BACK
Although he was called to serv
ice before he had an opportunity
to play, college football. Coach
Higgins anticipates great things
from Bill Luther, prospective'
triple threat, who was outstand
ing as a schoolboy back at nearby
Osceolo Mills. Luther showed to
advantage in Spring drills, and is
expected to prove a capable re
placement for Chuckran in ’47.

A Break for Little Joe
The College has worked out a solution to the
problem of what to do with the sports candidates
who don’t make the varsities. In the establishment of junior varsity
teams' they have the ideal answer. Without; the pre-war freshman
teams; the only chance an athlete had of v participating in inter
collegiate competition was making the inner circle of the varsities.
" ' Now the boys who play “for the love of playing”-can see action
and who knows, there may be a few stars developed who have poteh
tiar greatness. With the limited facilities available before, coaches
had to pass over many likely prospects. Now Little Joe, the average
guy, has a chance. ..
