The Nittany Realm Cooney Cotton Bowl Standout It was a timid 16 year old kid who in the fall, five years ago, reported to Oscar Buchenhorst, Penn State stockroom manager, in the watertower for his footbal togs. The name of the youngster— Larry Cooney—number two Nittany wingback. Since that Autumn afternoon in 1944, Larry has established himself as one of the great defensive backs in Lion grid history, as A 1 Michaels, backfield coach, so ably states, “he’s great on pass de fense and an exceptionaly good tackier I sure wish he was com ing back this fall.” The Pittsburgh-reared Cooney attended Langley High where he demonstrated his athletic prowess by earning varsity letters in football, track and swimming but it has always been on the gridiron where Larry’s interest has centered. Working right behind the center irterbacked Langley High into run city league. In his sophomore year, Oliver of Pittsburgh won the city crown. It was then that he met the field general of the Cotton Bowl team, Bobby Williams. The meeting of these two men might have had a bearing on Cooney’s enrollment at Penn State two years later. "Since I graduated I haven’t been home very often," Larry states now, “Seven days after I had my high school diploma I came to State. During the speed ed up war program we had very limited vacations. “Then I went into the service after my sophomore year, last year we went to Texas may be I’ll see a little of my folks now that I’ll graduate next month.” SPEED. ALERTNESS When only 16 years old, Cooney’s exceptional speed, ability and alertness earned him a starting berth on the 1944 Nit tany Lions along with Johnny Chuckran, Elwood Petchel and A 1 Bellas. That was the year that Chuckran and Petchel stole into the limelight in the memorable 28-27 West Virginia upset. ‘As for the game that stands out most in my mind,” Larry comments now, “it’s that ’44 Navy game. The Midshipman were in their prime then and they sure poured it on us, 55-14 and worst of all my mother had to see ‘that’ game,” After a short stretch with the Bth Army in Japan, Cooney re turned to the Nittany Vale to participate with the Hig’s undefeated '47 unit. He rose to unprecedented heights in Dallas when he starred in the Petehel-led aerial circus. He was on the receiving end of one of 'lil Elwood’s heaves with less than a minute to go before halftime to score the initial tally for the Blue and White in that memorable 13-13 tie with S.M.U. Larry and ‘Petch’ have a lot more than that in common. Both pledged and were initiated into PiKA fraternity at the same time and both are ardent golf enthusiasts. When he can find time Larry likes to shoot a round of golf, scoring in the low 90's. It’s a dog eat dog affair when the duo of Scherer and Cooney meets Simon and Petchel on the golf links. They should have a good team next year,” Larry tells, "the boys will miss the Hig. He was a great guy. The first string will be tops but there’ll be little depth in the replacements." Larry bowed out of the collegiate grid picture last New Year’s Day on the West Coast when he participated in the East-West Ali Star game. Alternating with Columbia’s Lou Kusserow, Cooney helped the eastern gridders to eke out a 14-12 decision. Undecided as what to do after graduation next month, Cooney might enter a pro grid career. His mentor for the past four years, backfield coach A 1 Michaels stated, “he is an exceptionally taken ted player and his chances in pro ball are very good." THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.
