Continued from page four
Only Larrry Joe, who injured a
rib in last week's Penn game, and
Negley Norton, who has a shoul
der injury, failed to appear in the
deluge.
On the opening kickoff Joe
Drazenovich recovered Chet Or
seck's fumble and four plays
later Colone plunged over for the
first marker. Sturges kick, the
first of five to hit their mark,
made the score 7-0 after a minute
and 20 seconds of the first period.
Tom Skladany's quick kicking
kept the Lions at bay for the re
mainder of the period, but two
first downs in the second period
set the ball on the one and Rogel
smacked over in 4:40.
Just eleven plays later the
Lions were again on the Temple
one via Colone's 66-yard race,
and this time Chuckran dived
over for the tally. Chuckran's
pass to Cooney in the third period
made the score 26-0, and then
the sophomore team went in to
bang out three more markers
against the luckless Temple elev
en.
This game marked the first
time in seven battles that the
Owls have been held scoreless,
and also marked the 17th straight
game for the Lions without a de
feat.
Two more battles, Pittsburgh
and Washington State, stand be
tween Penn State and the second
consecutive year unmarked by
defeat.
More than five teams, 69 play
ers, were used in the 47-0 rout
by both teams.

Long Tenure
Bob Higgins has been on the
Penn State campus as a football
coach since 1928, as head coach
since /230.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
The Nittany Realm
One of the most brilliant stars among the galaxy of gems in the
1948 Penn State football orbit is the popular senior end, Sam
Tamburo.
Playing his greatest season of football for Coach Bob Higgins'
Lions, .the hard-charging, four-year veteran is rated one of State's
top prospects for all-America honors.
The Blue and White can consider itself lucky to have snared
the six-foot, two-inch, 185-pound lineman, for Tamburo was born
and played high school football
in New Kensington, barely 18
miles from the football-conscious
Pittsburgh area.
Where asked the controversial
question of the team's opinion to
a bowl bid, the phys. ed. major
replied, "Don't forget that we
still have two games to win."
Contradictory to the story that
recently appeared in a Pitts
burgh newspaper, Tamburo be
lieves that most of the squad is
in favor of another Taunt to the
Cotton Bowl in Dallas. scene of
last year's 13-13 tie with South
ern Methodist.
In an6wer to the query of how
he rated this year's grid aggre
gation in comparison with the
undefeated 1947 edition, Tamburo
said, "We had a high-scoring
team last year. but, including the
teams had exceptional individual
and team play, although the present Lion outfit has the edge in
spirit."
He attributes this edge to the fact that more of the players
are of the same age.
One of the greatest athletes in New Kensington sport annals,
Sam played three years of high school football, captaining the squad
in his senior year. But his main claim to fame was earned on the
basketball court where he was an all-WPIAL guard for two years
and in his senior year gained honorable mention on the all-state
team.
Sam's peeves are slanted toward the distaff side where he con
fessed a dislike for artificiality in women. A favorite meal would
include breaded veal garnished with mashed potatoes a la gravy
and lots of greens. During the summer he keeps in condition via
camp counseling and teaching swimming at the Salisbury health cen
ter, near Pittsburgh.
The clean-cut. 22-year-old upperclassman intends playing pro
football for a few years after leaving college and then turning to the
physical education field.
Tamburo revealed that he has received overtures from the New
York Yankees and Los Angeles Dons, pro football teams, an indica
tion that the career of "Big Sam" is being eyed greedily. Upon his
departure from State he will also be placed on the college football
draft list.
Sam isn't the only athletically inclined individual in the Tam
buro household. He's anxious to talk of the success of his two broth
ers, both of whom have outstanding football reputations.
Harry, the elder, played two years at VPI, at end, and Dick, a
senior in high school, was honored as all-state center last year. Com
petition for his services is now being waged by both Pitt and State.
Sam's parents are avid followers of their son's career and are
present at every State hoTe game.
Tamburo considers the 1945 and '46 Navy grid battles as the two
outstanding games of his career.
Knitting his brow over the questions as to who he thought was
the greatest back he has played against, he finally split the honor
between little George Guerre, of Michigan State, and Hunchy
Hoernschmeyer, of Navy. Without a moment's hesitation the Phi
Kappa Sigma fraternity man named Tackle John Nolan, a teammate
in 1945, '46, and '47 now playing with the Boston Yanks, as his num
ber-one lineman.
Although he would be the last one to admit it, Sam is in his own
right a BMOC. Outside of an excellent all-College average he names
among other activities, vice-president of Parma Nu, I.F.C. repre
sentative and chaplain usher.
When Sam was congratulated on his fine showing against Tem
ple Saturday, his final words were:
"Don't forget that it takes eleven men to field a football team."
Don Ashenfelter Wins First •
Competitive Race in Phill
Don Ashenfelter, younger brother of Lion cross-country captain
Horace, was an easy victor in his first competitive race, as he crossed
the finish line first in the Penn Athletic Club handicap cross-country
run at Philadelphia Sunday.
The sophomore harrier, ineligible to compete in varsity compe
tition this year because he is a transfer student, sped over the five-
mile course in 27:56.
Ashenfelter elected to take the
larger novice trophy in place of
the winer's trophy at the conclu
sion of the meet. He was running
under the auspices of Shanahan
Catholic Club.
Alumnus Curt Stone, who raced
the 5000 meters for the United
States in the London Olympics
last summer, captured the best
time prize, at the meet.
Stone, also running for the
Shanahan CC, circled the course
in 25:04.
