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. The LaMott gridder seem
ed to diagnose the opponent's

USNSA Special Program
Offers Europe Study-Tours
If you have always wanted to study abroad, perhaps the USNSA
summer program in Europe will be the answer to your dream.
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. Any one of these
work camps will contribute to
the increase of good will toward
the United States, showing by
concrete action that we are sin
cere when we refer to aid to
