With
Penn State’s grid forces, still minus the valuable services of
regular tackle, Negley Norton, will leave the College at 12:15 p.m.
today for Saturday’s battle against Colgate at Hamilton, N. Y.
In a rough scrimmage session Wednesday night, three gridders
reported injuries to increase Coach Bob Higgins’ trepidation as he
takes his team to the supposedly
“Colgate is improving every
“and I can’t seem to make the
team realize that they’re just as
dangerous as any other team
we’ve played.” He remarked that
although everyone is thinking
about next v
week’s encoun- *
ter with Penn, £
nothing to lose UT . rIH(!
and everything HIGGIW&
to gain,” continued Coach Hig
gins, “and I’ll be glad when the
final whistle sounds Saturday.
Joining Norton on the injured
list after the scrimmage were
center Chuck Beatty, who suffer
ed a slight shoulder injury; guard
Fred Felbaum, who received a
cut over his eye and fullback Pete
Gorinski, who re-injured his knee
and will be out of action for at
least two weeks
“Although Norton won’t play
against Colgate Saturday,” said
Dr. Alfred H. Griess, team physi
cian,” he will be ready for the
Penn game. As for Gorinski, he
had a knee injury earlier in the
season and right now he is in the
infirmary. He may be ready for
the Perm game but at this point
it’s doubtful.”
“The other injuries are not
serious, and with Joe Drazeno
vich and Paul Kelly ready to go
Saturday, the team is in good
shape for the coming game.”
Coach Higgins was well pleased
with the work of the guards and
ends in last Saturday’s contest
and will start the same linemen
who were on hand for the open
ing kickoff against Michigan State.

The Neophyte
Big Ed Taggart, an eighth-se
mester journalism major, was co
vering soccer innocently enough
for the Centre Daily Times.
But when he approached Coach
Bill Jeffrey one day for an inter
view, the Jolly Scot—always on
the lookout for potential soccer
men—drafted Ed for his team.
The next thing we saw was
Taggart guarding the net for dear
ol' State in last Saturday's game
with Maryland. He ( had never
played soccer before being recrui
ted last week by Jeffrey, and, for
a journ student, we think he
makes a cracker jack goalie.
Tussle Tonight
Nittany Lion football fans who
aren’t journeying to Colgate but
still want a taste of the gridiron
sport this weekend might take in
the State College-Tyrone high
school fray on Memorial field at
8 p.m. tonight.
Both elevens operate from the
single wing, and Tyrone, one of
the lop scholastic teams in the
slate, boasts a 27-game winning
streak.
Shades of Suhey
Paul Kelly, 210-pound titan,
clays a lot of football whjle tack
ling a chem engineering course at
the same time. In the first half
of the Michigan State tilt, more
often than not we spied Kelly’s
“64” on the bottom of the pile.
Equally impressive on defense
was Guard John Simon, who also
played a dramatic role in the Lion
attack when he scored his first
touchdown on a spectacular later
al from Sam Tamburo.
From the Morg(ue)
Quarterback Charlie “Block
buster” Drazenovich logged 60
minutes in the Spartan tilt, mark
ed by few Nittany substitutions..
Other iron-men were Wally
Triplett with 59 minutes and
Chuck Beatty with 56 ....
Back in 1873, a group of Cor
nell students challenged some
Michigan football enthusiasts to
a game on neutral ground—
Cleveland— w it h 30 men to a
side. When the Cornell players
asked permission to leave their
studies to travel to Cleveland,
President White of Cornell read
their request and made the clas
sic decision: "I will not permit
30 men to travel 400 miles merely
to agitate a bag of wind." (taken
from "The New Encyclopedia of
Sports" by Menke.)
A Year Left
Contrary to popular thought,
Bob Hicks, Lion end who’s back
in action after sitting out two
games, still has one year of col
legiate football eligibility left.
Although he’s listed as a senior,
Bob says, “I’ll be around for next
year’s football season.”
