PACK FOCI If
Injuries Cut Deeply Into Grid Team's Ranks
Hedderick, Hoover to Miss
Remainder of '49 Season
Penn State grid forces face the possibility of taking the field
without three sorely-needed players this Saturday when the Nittany
Lion faces the Orange of Syracuse at Beaver Field.
Many a gloomy moment was spent in the Rec Hall football head
quarters yesterday by Coach Joe Bedenk and his field lieutenants,
O’Hora, Michaels, Patrick and Toretti as they eyed the future,
. The cause for all these tribula
tions on the football front is a
serious epidemic of injuries
which has raised havoc in the
ranks of the once impregnable
“big white line.”
Joining Punchy Rogel on Doc
Greiss’ team are such mainstays
of the Nittany eleven as Cen
ters Ray Hedderick and Chuck
Beatty as well as Tackles Ed
Hoover and Con Brown
ROGEL
ne Lions’ piledriving
fullback and top ground-eater
for the past three seasons, was
forced out of action during the
Nebraska fray and also had to
sit out last week’s .Spartan tilt.
Again this week Rogel, most
likely, will have to rem'ain out of
the lineup. “He’s coming along
all right,” comments Team-phy
sican Greiss. But Coach Bedenk
still is hesitant about using the
stocky “Number 33;”
“There’s no use playing him
nowr and take a chance of losing
him for the rest of the season,”
Bedenk stated, “I hope I won’t
.have to use him this week.”
Tp ’add coals to the fire, Ray
Hedderick, starting Lion center
who was injured in the first
quarter of the Michigan State
struggle, will most likely be lost
to the squad for the remainder
of the season.,
,His knee was injured, and .al
though released from the in
firmary yesterday with a cast on
his knee, it is unlikely that he’ll
be in uniform before the final
game, against Pitt, three weeks
hence.
CENTER SHORTAGE
What was once the deepest
position, as far as talent is con
cerned on the Nittany squad, the
ball snapping spot, is now quick
ly becoming the weakest link in
the line.
Top reliefman, Chuck Beatty,
suffered a broken nose at East
Lansing. Although the infection
and swelling are responding well
to treatments, Doc Greiss is
doubtful whether Beatty will be
able to participate against Syra
cuse on Saturday.'
Beatty played part’ of the game
last week with that broken nose,
“but that’s nothing new for- me,”
the hulking center says now,
“that’s the tenth time, since I’ve'
been playing football, that, my
nose has been broken.”
“We’ll use him sparingly,” Be
denk says, “most likely he’ll see
some offensive action,” Bedenk
’and his aides plan to use Ken
Bunn and Sophomore Joe Shu
mock during the majority of the
fracas.
Ed Hoover, the big tackle who
against Nebraska scored the
opening touchdown on a pass in
terception, is also lost to the
squad for the remainder of the
year. „
Hoover, like Hedderick, suf
fered a severe knee injury at
Michigan State. “He’s definitely
out,” says Doc Greiss, “he has a
bad knee sprain.”
And then there is Con Brown,
number four tackle. Con is in
the infirmary at the present with
virus-pneumonia' and will be out
of uniform Saturday.
That leaves Bedenk with only
his two starting tackles, Don
Murray and Neg Norton for duty
this weekend. A few untried jay
vees have been called up to the
varsity this week.
His crying towel completely
soaked by now, Bedenk con
tinues, “We only have two
tackles left now. Things look
pretty dark.” ,

Meet Colgate Saturday
Coach Bill Jeffrey’s soccer team, currently riding high on a ten
game undefeated string, will be out to make it 11 outings without a
setback this Saturday when it travels to Hamilton, N.Y., to meet Col
gate.
, Not too much in the way of a threat to the Lions’ skein is ex
pected from the Red Raiders who are just fielding a mediocre crew
this fall. — :
STRONGEST
The Blue and White, on the
other hand, is sporting one of the
strongest units ever to perform
for Jeffrey.
In their four ~all-victorious out
.ngs this season the Lions have
?ored 20 goals as compared to
he oppositions’ single score.
In romping over all comers, the
T ittanies have downed West
Chester, 6-0; Bucknell, 5-0; Syra
cuse, 6-1; and Navy, 3-0.
LINEUP
In the lineup which Jeffrey
will pit against Colgate are two
All-Americans Captain Ralph
Hosterman and Dick Hannah,
while one of the forwards, Harry
Little, received honorable men
tion on that same All-America
team.
To add to the wealth of talent,
Jeffrey has two more potential
All-America nominees in the
fold. Ron Coleman, who had to
sxt last week’s game out because
of an ankle injury, is expected to
be ready for duty, again while
the other standout is Center-for
ward, Joe Lane.
On the flanking, positions; of.
the scoring-happy forward line
Lieb and Clarences Buss.
Lieb at present is tied fbr team
scoring honors while Buss; has
not been able to find the scoring
zone as frequently as he did last
season.-
COMPETITION
There is ample competition for,
the inside positions, which are
.currently held down by Little,
and Coleman. Harry Lawroski,. a'
tricky ballhandler, who last week
brook into the limelight with his
splendid performance, against
Navy, and Spence Boyer, are
both top-flight reliefmen.
George Lawther and Ron Cod
er will share the goal 'tending du
ties with Chuck Margolf, Nelson
Spurliq'g- and J3iU Yerkes hand
ling the fullback chores.
Ready to help the halfbacks
will be Red Emig and Will Kray
bill, two very aggressive ) per
formers. Kraybill along with
