In Lion- Duke Scrimmage
Sparked by the breakaway running of reserve backs Vince
O'Bara and Owen Dougherty, Penn State's '49 grid edition, less last
season's regulars, swung to a two-touchdown spring scrimmage vic
tory over the Blue and Gold of Duquesne on New Beaver field Sat
urday afternoon.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock the
Lions will complete their spring
practice sessions by holding a
full length scrimmage with Buck
nell University on the New
Beaver field.
O'Bara astounded some 2000
fans who braved a chilling wind
to watch the two-hour Saturday
session when he raced through
right tackle for 45 yards on the
first play of the contest, then
scored the Lions' first touchdown
on the same play not two min
utes later.

end, threaded through the sec

Dougherty was the big gun in
the Lions' other touchdown move
when his 40-yard aerial landed
the Blue and White on the vis

Gillooley interfered with End

Not only are the women of
Penn State saddly outnumbered,
but they aren't even given al
chance to prove themselves--
athletically speaking.
Intercollegiate sports play is;
an important part in the life of
the Penn State campus, but here
all such activities are for men
only. The only opportunity the
women have is in intramural
sports.
We have approached many,
students with questions about
this. The answers from men and
women alike were almost un
animously in favor of intercolle•,
giate sports for women.
Several people who personal
ly didn't care one way or the
other agreed that since Penn
State is supposed to be a de
mocratically-run school, women
should have the same opportun
ity as men.
As things stand at present, the
closest Penn State can come to
intercollegiate athletics of the
female variety is telegraphic
swimming meets. This merely
means that girls from two schools
l swim in their own pools and
`then exchange the scores. It can
be exciting for those people wh
are extremely interested in the
mechanics of sending telegrams.
Even in high school through
out the country there are at least
girls' basketball teams compet
ing interscholastically. Many
schools also have girls' softball
teams. It is not uncommon to
find girls playing field hockey
;and soccer.
-
Some junior highs also have
girls' teams in interscholastic
sports.
Is a girl too old for such things
when she reaches college? Ap
parently she isn't if she attends
the University of Pennsylvania.
No self-respecting Penn State
sports fan will concede that
Penn's students are better ath
letes.

tour at East Lansing, Michigan,
Friday, and for the third time

a relatively unsuccessful one.
Both John Benglian and. Paul

the NCAA competition in the
quarter finals Thursday.
Considered on his 1949 record
of five victories, all decisions,
two losses and a draw, Bolger
was given a bye into the semi

SPORTS EDITOR
Poser in Physics
When he visited the campus
recently, Ed Pollock, sports edi
tor of the Philadelphia Bulletin,
raised a prickly problem com
bining football and physics. We
hesitated to delve into this, but
decided to throw caution to the
woodpeckers and plunge. As a
result, what we say here will
probably prompt a deluge of cor
recting letters from any Lion en
gineers who read our feeble math
efforts.
Mr. Pollock raved about the
tremendous striking force
(don't we all) of Francis Rogel,
Nittany football fullback whose
weight hovers at 200. Mused
Mr. Pollock: "I wonder how
hard Rogel really hits oppos
ing tacklers as he bears down
on them at about 100 yards in
10 seconds."
Putting the poser squarely to
our friend and fraternity brother,
Witty Wilbert, who dabbles in
physics and other occult sciences
in the attic.
Returned Wil: "In other
words, you want to know with
what force of impact Rogel
plows into his foes." We said
that was right, so Wil promised
us a good answer and made
haste to the attic.
That was Saturday. Yesterday
Wil emerged with the answer in
formidable physics terms that
excited allusions of our unhappy
science days in high school. So
we asked Wil to break it down to
the layman's language. What
follows is Wil speaking:
"Well, a runner sprinting 100
yards in 10 seconds will do a
mile in about 3 minutes; that's
theoretical, under ston d. In
other words his speed is about
20 miles an hour. So you want
to know with what force a 200-
pound Rogel would strike an
opposing player when running
at 20 mph. Don't ask me how I
got it, but the answer is 5,280
pounds per second."
We said that was fine, then
wondered what Wil meant. Wil
tried to clear it up by resorting
to a slide rule:
'Well, if_you take it a step
further, Rogel theoretically
generates 2795 foot-pounds of
kinetic energy. A one-hundad
pound feed sack falling, 28 feet
on top of you would generate
the same energy and create the •
same impact as Rogel plowing
into you."
That was it! Just what we
wanted.
"Or," Witty Wil continued,."if
you want another analogy: if
you're unfortunate enough to get
in Rogel's way, he'll hit you with
about the same force that he
would were he to climb up on,
Rec Hall banking board, step off
into thin air, and land on you.
We stood shocked at the
frightening thought, then im
mediately telephoned Rogel to
reassure ourselves that we were
still on good terms with him.
Wil's analogy was too real.
Boosts Boxing
An ex-Penn Stater, Paul Mall,
is credited with lifting boxing
from the exhibition level .to the
big time at DePaul U. A Lion
football player back in '4O, Mall
is now boxing and swimming
coach at DePaul. The Chicago
school was the only Northern in
vitee to the recent Southern In

Mall starred in the 1940 Penn
State-Navy game, later became
a sparring partner of Fritsie
Zivic, Pittsburgh boxer, and
spent four and one-half years
in the AAF.
