PAGE SIX Hig Sets Dates For Grid Drills Sandwiched between the final cheers from the Rec Hall basket ball games and the sharp crack of batted baseballs on the Beaver Field diamond, the Nittany football team will make its 64th annual appearance for Spring practice. Veteran grid coach Bob Higg the opening date for the campa through its paces for about four work outs Now in his 20th year at the helm of the Penn State team, Coach Higgins is looking toward a nine-game schedule packed with powerful foes and about a 50-man squad packed with top grid talent. WELL-HEELED Although Captain Joe Colones punting, Elwood Petchel's bullet like passing. Wally Triplett's brilliant defensive work and John Simon's bruising tackles will be missing from thr warm-weather drills, Coach Higgins will be well heeled in gridders to fill the gaps left by graduation. Stars from last season's once defeated team like Fran Rogel, Bob Hicks, Ncgley Norton and Johnny Chuckran, just to men tion a few, will holster the Penn State ranks in the coming cam paign. A rundown of positions shows the Nittany Lions to be strong in almost every department. All-American End Sam Tam bum will be ntissing from the opening roll call, but with Hicks and John Smidansky back from last season's squad the effect of his loss will he softened. Besides Hicks and Smidansky, Coach Higgins will have 8-foot, 5- iach Danny Kline. and 6-foot, 2- inch Dalton Rumberger at the terminal posts. Both Kline and Ilomberger saw action at the tail end of the 1948 season, and with month of Spring training under their belts, should provide excel- I( at targets for passes next Fall. In the tackle positions. the Lions will feel the loss of big John Finley, but Co-captain Neg..' li.y Norton, Tom McDermott and Norm Erikson will return to fill ti , e vital line post. Norton, who Inissed a few games in the last ampaign because of a shoulder injury, underwent an operation this Winter and will be ready to throw his 218 pounds against the hocking sled in 10 days. GUARDS Four outstanding guards, Joe Prazenovich, Paul Kelly, Fred Fid Baum and Joe Sarabok, will The Nittany Realm Lennie, not for the passes he's caught or the tackles he's madd, but for the one pass he didn't catch in Dallas. Speaking about backfield material, Hoggard said that Johnny Chuckran looks like the man to carry the ball in the Higgins single "Besides Chuckran, just look at the other material: O'Bara, other, Chuck Druz, plus some sophomores coming up from the c:nters Will add up to a really great team." When .Asked who, in his opinion, was the greatest passer at Penn Suite during his collegiate career, the former pass-snagger said 13011 by Williams gets my vote. He didn't throw a hard pass, but v. bon tic. threw it the man was open. Petchel throws a hard, straight pass, and sometimes Williams was trapped behind the line, but I think that Hobby had better control of the ball and that's what counts in a passer." ns has tentatively set March 14 as gn and expects to run the team eeks before calling a halt to the attempt to fill the gap left open by John Simon after the Wash ington State game. Drazenovich was a starting guard last season, and Kelly plummeted to the head lines with his smashing tackles in Penn State's 13-0 victory over Penn. Chuck Beatty, who filled the center slot last season, will be back with the Blue and White this year. Also listed for duty in the important post are Ken Bunn and Ray Hedderick, both of whom relieved Beatty throughout the 1948 season. Staying true to form, Penn State's backfield will be flush with running, punting and pass ing talent. Sophomore Vince O'Bara is expected to fill Elwood Fetchers role at the tailback'posi ti on. Besides O'Bara, Johnny Chuckran and Bill Luther will report to the Nittany fold to give the Lion coach a three-deep line up in the passing post. Fran Rogel, smashing fullback of last season's team is expected to hit his peak this season. and ready to relieve the North Brad dock pile driver are Fran' Smut ney, Clarence Gorinski and Soph omore Tony Orsini. However, the latter may be switched to wing back. Quarterback ,Chuck Drazeno vich, 214 pounds of football player, will assume his hard-hit ting role this Spring, and his understudies, Herb Kurtz, Jack Miller, Jack Murray and Walt Palmer, will have to vie for re lief roles for the 60-minute "Draz." The gridders named above will be either juniors or seniors next Fall, and an entire new crop of sophomores will come up from the teacher's colleges and centers in the Fall to vie for posts on the 1949 Nittany grid team. The position hardest hit by graduation is the wingback spot occupied by Wally Triplet last season.

Study-tours are being offered to students in this country, giv ing them an opportunity to visit England, the Scandinavian coun tries, Holland, France, Switzerland, and Italy. Observations of the current conditions in each country will be made, supplemented by lectures, and visits to factories, social centers, and governmental institutions. Imagine seeing for yourself how the people of other countries, other nationalities, deal with the same problems which are a source of consternation to America. This first hand experience would provide the insight into the current issues which will so vital ly effect the achievement of world peace. Rich in inspiration, the cultures of the countries abroad would stimulate a student, help him to try to really understand peoples of a different nationality, of a different religion. Summer Plasm Work programs are scheduled in the forests of Finland, as well as plans to reconstruct the dev astated areas of Germany and to aid in the harvest of needed food in England.
