To 'Eliminate Mistakes'
Is Footballers' Goal
“Let’s Eliminate the Mistakes” will be the slogan of Penn
State’s 1950 gridiron warriors when they take the field to
morrow afternoon against Duquesne University. The scrim
mage with the Iron Dukes, scheduled for 2 p.m. oh Beaver
Field, will bring down the curtain on the six-week Spring
practice session.
. The mistakes the Nittany
Valley’s grid representatives
will be trying to eliminate are
those which hindered the squad
last Saturday against Bucknell.
The Bisons tamed the Lions,
three touchdowns to two.
Poor ball handling and sloppy
blocking were the principal
shortcomings of the Lions against
Bucknell, accord in g to Earl
Bruce, in charge of State’s Spring
practice. The squad went through
scrimmages Tuesday and Wed
nesday, and yesterday engaged
in a two-hour pass protection
drill. A long signal drill is
scheduled for this afternoon.
SAME LINEUPS
Bruce announced his intention
of sticking with almost the same
offensive and defensive lineups
he used against Bucknell. Barr
ing the sidelining of several
players because of injuries, the
only change will see Tom • Mc-
Dermott, who looked good
against Bucknell, replace Dick
Waters at the attack left tackle
post.
Injuries may compel Bruce to
make some other changes. End
John Smidansky, who strained
a knee ligament may not be
ready, as is the case with tackle
Con Brown who suffered injury
in practice Tuesday. Also on the
doubltful .list is tailback Vince
O’Bara, whose bruised knee is
.on the mend.
SMIDANSKY. AT END
On the offense, the State line
will read Smidansky and Art
Betts, ends; Chuck Godlasky
and McDermott, tackles; Len
Bartek and Bill Mathers, guards;
and Joe Shumock, center. In the
backfield will be quarterback
John Podrasky, fullback Len
Shephard, tailback Tony Orsini
and wingback Chan Johnson.
Defensively the _ Lions will
line up with Mario Santangelo
and Andy Silock at the picket
posts, McDermott and Brown at
Track Team—
(Continued, from pane four)
an all-round star on the Spartan
team and would probably have
been one of the top scorers in the
meet. *
Tom D’Arey, Ohio State’s dis
tance star, is a doubtful starter.
The hurdles sizes up as a race
between Gehrdes and Smith of
Michigan State with the Spartans
getting the majority of the re
maining places. In the prints
Penn State ranked the favorite
before Lane’s injury. t
The distance races will be large
ly a battle - between Michigan
State and Ohio State with the for
mer expected to come off first.
EASY TIME
Penn State’s Vic Fritts, if he
performs up to par, should have
little difficulty in winning the
high jump. The shot put and dis
cus look to be a fight between
Ohio State and Michigan State.
The broad jump, minus Lancas
ter, would develop into a battle
between Thomas of MSC and
Wade of the Buckeyes. Ohio State
