Line Replacements Loom
As Chief Grid Obstacle
Wanted: tackles and guard s fo r the Nittany Lions' 1948 footbal
Coach Bob Higgins, appraising his talent at the end of its first
three weeks of Spring training, was reluctant today to predict great
things for his veteran-studded 1948 eleven.
"Sure, we're pretty well set on backs," the vetera n Lion mentor
argues, "but we're in anything but
good shape on the line.
"We need guards and tackles
first, and it wouldn't hurt to
throw in an end or two and a
center. We're short in all of those
spots."
While encouraged by the prog
ress of his squad in its early
drills, the Lion coach still feels
that his '441 team won't get any
where unless capable line replace
ments are developed.
The whole right side of the line,
which last season helped t o set a
new intercollegiate record in rush
ing defense, has been lost, and
few of the reserves have as yet
approached the standard of the
old hands.
"Funny thing about a winning
season," Higgins muses, "is that
nobody takes losses' into consid
eration wile., appraising a new
season."
LINE PROSPECTS
Main hopes among the current
crop of linemen are John Simon,
of Brownsville, who understudied
Steve Suhey at guard last year;
John Finley, of Paxtang, a pros
pective replacement for Co-Cap
tain Joh, Nolan at tackle; and
Charles (Chuck) Beatty, of Weisel,
who's expected to step into John
Wolosky's shoes at center. Bob
Hicks, of Lancaster, and Dennie
Hoggard, of Philadelphia, both
loom as candidates for the end
position left vacant by Co-Cap
tain John Potsklan.
Hold-overs, and the foundation
upon which Coach Higgins will
build his new forward wall, are
Joe Drazenovich, of Brownsville,
guard, Negley Norton, of Altoona,
tackle, and Sam Tamburo, of New
Kensington, end. Still other re
serves who may come through on
the line are Don Murray, tackle,
o f Easton, Joe Sarabok, guard, of
Lansford, Paul Kelly, guard, of
Erie, and Norm Erikson, tackle, of
Swissvale.
