WEDNESDAY. JULY G. IO4S The Lion’s Tale by Ed Watson SPORTS EDITOR The Versatile "Draz" Few people realize it, but Penn State has one of the country’s most versatile athletes right here on its own campus. Chuck Dra zenovich, the Brownsville Bom bardier, has already earned six varsity letters, and he has a year of eligibility remaining. Army has its Arnold Galiffa, and Illinois has its Dwight Eddleman, but Lion fans can boast of “Draz.” Drazenovich has won three monograms in football in boxing and one in track. Al- though the least publicized back on the Nittany football eleven, Chuck is a big cog in the Lions’ single wing attack from his block- ing back spot. In boxing, Chuck won IBA honors in the heavyweight division his first year, and he held onto his crown this past season by decisioning Marty Crandall of Syracuse in the finals. Crandall, who had bested Drazenovich in the Orange-Lion dual meet, later was crowned NCAA champion. Chuck put track togs on for the initial time during the past sea son, and became the number two man in the shotput for the Wern er-coached thin-clads. A consist ent third-placer in the dual meets, Draz can look forward to a good year in 1950. With three more letters in the waiting, Drazenovich will leave the Nittany vale next June as one of the most all-around athletes ever to wear the Blue and White.

Wertz played first base and hit .310 for the Nillanies. while Smith was number-one man on the Lion's regional golf champs. NCAA District 2 baseball play offs in New York. Kurty, who shared the first-string catching duties with Clarence Buss until the latter injured his ankle in the second Bucknell game, caught the attention of major league scouts when the Lions took the field. Not satisfied with playing a bang-up defensive game from his backstop position, Kurty clouted enemy pitching for an almost un believable .579 batting average. The 23-year-old catcher, who will be a junior in the fall, hit safely 11 times in 19 trips to the plate. Large Tourney C. M. “Dutch” Sykes promises one of the biggest softball tourna ments ever in the Main Session league, slated to get underway Monday.
