Leo Nobile Signs
Redskin Contrad
Leo Nobile, Penn State guard
who still had a year of eligibility
left at the College, has signed a
contract to play for the Washington
Redskins of the National Foot
ball League for the 1947 season
The announcement had per
plexed Nittany Lion Coach Bob
Higgins since the National Foot
ball League had previously an
nounced that it would not sign
any college players who were
still eligible to play this fall.
Bert Bell, commissioner of the
NFL, stated that the Nobile deal
was not a violation of the
league's ruling. "Nobile actually
signed some time ago, before our
new rule was adopted," said Bell.
It was reported that Nobile had
signed a Redskins contract last
February after receiving an offer
to join the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Wok Board
Rejects Bowl Bid
For Boxinfo Team
Anti-Negro legislation contain
ed in the Louisiana boxing codes
prompted the Athletic Advisory
Board during the latter part of
July to reject an invitation ex
tended to the Penn State boxing
team to participate in the annual
New Orleans Sugar Bowl Carni
val in December.
Sponsored by the New Orleans
Mid-Winter Sports Association,
the Sugar Bowl classic was to
have included a match between
the Lion boxers and a Michigan
State squad on December 29.
Law Restricts Negroes
Although there are no Negro
boxers on the squad at present,
the Bowl bid was rejected on the
basis of a clause contained in the
invitation which stated that "be
cause of Louisiana boxing law
which prohibits mixed competi
tion, it is understood that no Ne
groes will be members of the
State College team."
In commenting on the board's
refusal to participate in the
tourney, Dean Carl P. Schott,
Dean of the School of Physical
Education, said, "It is the policy
of the College to compete only
under circumstances which will
permit the playing of ahy and all
members of its athletic teams."
Eight Boxers Invited
A team of eight boxers headed
by Captain Jackie Tighe, holder
of the 165-pound Eastern Inter
collegiate Boxing title, was to be
accompanied to the meet by a
trainer and Coach Leo Houck.
In rejecting the New Orleans'
invitation, the Advisory Board,
in effect, reiterated the College's
stand on any type of discrimina
tion in athletics. Last November's
cancellation of the football game
with the University of Miami, as
a result of the Florida .school's
refusal to participate if Negro
players were allowed to play with
the Penn State squad, was the
most recent statement of prin
ciple along this line.
In a telegram to the Sugar
Bowl committee, Neil M. Flem
ing, former graduate manager of
athletics, stated:
"Regret to advise our Athletic
Board disapproved acceptance of
your invitation to participate in
boxing meet with Michigan State
during your Sugar Bowl Tourna
ment. Appreciate your invitation
and am sorry that present situa
tion made favorable decision
difficult."
Ken Yount Joins Brother
As All-American Rifleman
Named to All-American rating
by the National Rifle Association
during the summer, Ken Yount,
captain of the Penn State rifle
team, joined the All-American
ranks with his older brother,
Capt. Harold W. Yount, coach of
the Nittany Lion nimrods.
In announcing the younger
Yount's award, the Rifle Associa
tion reported that Yount's score
of 277 in the sectional competi
tion at Pittsburgh in March en
titled him to the All-American
honor.
Hal, co-captain of the Lion
team as an undergraduate, won
his All-American laurels in 1942.
Ken fired a 385 at Annapolis that
year and would have placed third
in the competition, except that he
was a freshman and therefore in
eligible for All-Ametican con
sideration.
