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.

brilliant showing in the recent

NEWLY-ELECTED captains are Dick Wertz (left) of the 1950 base
ball team, and Tommy Smith, golf. 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.
Twenty teams have indicated
that they will play in the league,
which guarantees a lot of soft
bail activity for the teams involv
ed. Last year 16 teams were en
tered in the Summer Session tour
ney—B in the fraternity league
and 8 in the indepednent diadem.
Lambda Chi Alpha walked off
with the fraternity crown, while
Delta Sigma Phi, playing under
the independent banner, was first
in that section.
