WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1947 I WATCH ON THE SHRINEI With Ted Rubin, Collegian Sports Editor When he saki, "I never expected to be awarded all of these honor s . the credit should really go to the team ... they're the ones who deserve it," Steve Suhey, All-American, indicated a quality as great as his mighty skill on the gridiron. For with all of the praises that have come Steve's way, none are so strong as to remove from him his humility and his modesty. His joys and pleasures are in playing the game which he plays so well. and he'd sooner engage in his favorite sport than eat a sirloin steak. much as Steve enjoys the latter pastime. Penn State's represcntative to the sports pages of the nation was born of Ukrainian pAantage twenty-five years ago in Syracuse, New York, one of four children. Steve was big and fast for his a ge as he advanced through school . . . didn't pick fights, but always knew haw to take care of himself when the situation presented itself. When Steve , was in eighth gra - 0, the Suheys moved to Case movie, a small town of 2,000 inhabitants in the state of New York. and in the following years, their growing youngest son carved a nichee for himself in schoolboy pigskin circles. The burg of Cazenovla rings out familiarly to followers of Penn State football, for a star of another era, Earl "Sparky" Brown, was also from that town, and bore her banners well as an ace tailback in the '4l, '42 and '43 campaigns of the Higginsmen. Influenced a great deal by his high school principal, Wayne L. Lowe, an o ld Penn State grad, Suhey refused a number of offers to come to State College . . . and he's very pleased with his choice. He only weighed 186 when he starred on the undefeated '4l Lion fresh squad, as compared to hif present 205410, butt he and his run ning mate, Leo Nobile, were two of the potential greats who led this fine group to an undefeated season, Jeff Durkota, Ray Ulinski, Bob Weitzel. the Alston boy s and others were featured headliners on this aggregation: Johnny Jaffurs and Bob Perugini, two favorite Bedenk pupils. were the regular guards in '42, but Suhey did trod on and off the gridiron frequently in the substitute's role. Steve credits these two stars with many cf the fine points he has learned and thinks one of the finest occurrence s in football is when a veteran performer takes aside a newcomer and shows him his faults and how he can correct them Then came the war . . . 42 months of duty with the Army Air Forces at home and in the Pacific theatre . . . then a return to a different type of warfare when the '46 football season was inaugurated. Steve was good last year . . .'he, Leo Nobile. Bob Rutkowski. Joe Sarabok and others fortified the guard slots well. but he needed an other year to attain his peak in conditioning. And here, too, this was the year! Who was the toughest lineman he came up against this fall? The Navy's Dick Scott. Steve and Scott had plenty of time to get ac quainted during the Baltimore fray when the Blue an White ace played a full sixty minutes. Another tough customer whom the Caze novian regards highly is Washington State's Andy Lazor . . . "He was a wow of a center, too," says Steve. Which was the toughest game this season? Steve thought the opener against the Washington State Cougars. "It was our first game . . , we weren't yet in top shape . . . and those boys from the North , west were plenty rough!" To the question, ' T in which game did you become the most tired?" the Nittany guard, who played more minutes than any other Lion. answered, "Believe it o r not, it was against Bucknell. The time we made three straight touchdowns and had to run up the field each time after we had just run the length was almost too much for me."' Steve likes to play the forward line . . . he has a wonderful competitive spirit Which appears most when he's the keystone of the forward wall. Although he drops back into the secondary when Joe Drazenovich is renlaced by a subctitute. Steve would much rather be up on the line. "Nothing like it." he says. And another phase of his perscnality is indicated when this future professional player talks of the close "in" play. "The Hig teaches us to play it clean, I think a player messes up his assign ments when he tries to slug an opponent, because every team stresses timing and that docsn't give you the time you need to take out your man." He toasts the Hig and Line Coach Joe Bedenk, and thinks they're tops. Steve also wants to coach acme clay, an although his eligibility will be completed this year, he will be present on campus in the future when h e returns to complete worl: toward his degree. ~'~~ ~~\~~~r, ;~~ o ' 0 ftr ifr , f 0 1 ' 1711 taler .. his own pet theory is the best of everything for YOU!
