TUESDAY, APRIL 25. 1950 Engle's Arrival Brings New Spirit to Gridders The appointment of Rip Engle as Penn State football coach has injected a spirit into Nittany football circles the like of which hasn’t been seen since the Lions’ Cotton Bowl venture. Engle, here over the weekend to sign the contract which brought him to the Nittany Valley, has returned to Provi dence, R. 1., but is expected back in State College Thursday afternoon. Enthusiasm has reached such a pitch that the squad has volun teered to report for additional drills although the original Spring practice session was supposed to have ended with the Duquesne scrimmage Saturday. ■. The switch from single-wing to the winged-T has made it neces sary for the team to make the most of every day before the Sept. 30 opening date with Georgetown. The main problem facing Engle will be the selection of a T forma tion quarterback. Engle will be looking for someone who can handle the ball from under cen ter and pass. He has said that passing is one-third of his offense. ENGLE VIEWS SCRIMMAGE Engle viewed the scrimmage with Duquesne, won by State four touchdowns to three, from the stands. “I was encouraged by what I saw,” he confided. “The squad put on a spirited show for me and I liked it. But a change in system requires time, and -there’s a lot of work to do here. Engie plans a series of confer ences with the present coaching staff before he resumes Spring drills Monday. The drills will last from ten days to two weeks, and may include scrimmages. Light-footed backs are essential to the success of Engle’s winged-T, and no doubt the veteran coach was pleased with the play of Vince O’Bara and Tony Orsini. O’Bara, out of action for several weeks with a bruised knee, re turned to action against the Dukes and scored two touchdowns and passed for one other. ORSINI. O'BARA STAR After Duquesne jumped ahead early in the first period’on a 36- yard touchdown jaunt by Ralph Longmore, Orsini s t a~r te d the Lions goalward by picking up 22 yards on a wingback reverse be fore he was downed on the State 46. After O’Bara lost three yards, .he’ found end John Smidansky free on the receiving eiid of a re verse pass. "Big John gathered in the aerial on the 15, bulled away from two tacklers and scored to even the count. Earl MundeU .bucked over for the final Lion TD after Chan Johnson took the ball to the one-; foot line from the 26 in three plays. Duquesne halfback Bob Boucher scored the game’s last six-pointer with 15 seconds re maining. Track Team (Continued from page four) of Bill Ashenfelter who ran a terrific 4:14.3 mile. It was by far the best Bill has ever done. Bill was only two-tenths of a second behind Bill Mack’s win ning time which, along with Lane’s century, was the highlight of the meet. Don Ashenfelter and Bob Freebairn also pulled sur prises with clockings of 4:19 and 4:20 respectively. , The word that spelled defeat for the Nittany tracksters was “shutout.” The Wernermen got whitewashed in four of the field events pole vault, shot put, broad jump and discus. INJURY HURTS CHANCES An injury to Guy Kay hurt the Blue and White chances in both, the quarter mile and the .mile relay. The soph sprinter pulled a muscle and had to be replaced. Coach Werner was greatly pleased with the showing of his team. "Our fellows were right in there all the way." he said. "They all performed better than ever before. Gehrdes, Lancas ter and Bill Ashenfelter were terrific. It was a wonderful track meet. All three teams were good." The summaries: 100 yard dash—l. Lancaster. PS; 2. Gehrdes, PS; 3. Smith, MS; 4.

Captain Tom Smith of State turned in a medalist score of 71 to down his opponent, Marchison 3 and 2. The Nittany team’s Ted Robertson, whom Coach Bob Rutherford praised highly for fine play in both matches, shot a 72 and won from Weisberg 6 and 5. Bob Kunkle nipped Farley 3 and 2. Captain Charles McCarthy, T. Mahan, and A. McGouren regis tered wins over ’ State’s Yerkes, Durniak, and Monroe to give the Georgetown team its score of three for the match. ARTZ IN THRILLER The highlight of the day came when Ray Artz of State- lost his lead over Powers and both ended in a tie on the 18th and 19th- hole's. The climax came on the ,20th hole when, driving from the tee, both boys found-' themselves in the trap on their approach shots. After blasting out, Powers three putted to finish out his card. Artz, after making, the green in three strokes, putted about ten feet, the ball coming to rest on the lip of the cup. The spectators murmured then clapped as the ball, after hanging for about 35 seconds on the edge, plopped in, giving the Lion clubbers the match. The Nittany linksmen will go after their third win of the season tomorrow when they take. on Navy at Annapolis.

The Bethlehem Engineers plac ed four men on the first team, while Syracuse, Eastern team titl ists for the past two seasons, had three named to the honor team. The only- outsider was Captain Wayne Smith, Navy’s 136-pound EIWA champion and NCAA third placer. Syracuse had two additional wrestlers on the second team and Lehigh claimed one. 4 EIWA'ERS IN CAST Four Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association champions grace the lineup of the’ number one squad. George Feuerbach, Le high, 128 pounds; Smith, 136 pounds; Ken Hunte, Syracuse, 155 pounds, and George Gebhardt, Sy racuse, 175 pounds, were named by the Penn State grapplers. Repeaters from last season’s all-foe team are Mike Filipos, : Le high, at 121 pounds; Hunte; Pas Perri, Syracuse, at 165 pounds; Gebhardt; and Gus LaSasso, Le high heavyweight. 1 Filipos edged out Bob Gerbino, Syracuse’s EIWA titlist,, for 121- pound honors.

Last year’s varsity courts, on the East parking lot, are now being readied' for student use. Fogg also requests- students who use the clay courts to wear regulation tennis shoes instead of gym sneakers. Gym-shoes and rubber soled street shoes dig up -the clay and make playing extremely dif ficult. ■, Last season, Syracuse’s la crosse team led the country in goals scored with 236. and aver aged ’ better than 16 goals per contest. . Holy Cross, most prolific win ner in series standirigs with the Red Raiders, also holds title to greatest number of runs compiled in one game against the Maropn. In 1939, the Crusaders ran rough shod over the hapless Colgaters, registering a 27-3 victory.

The Lehigh sophomore sensation rele gated Davie Poor of Princeton, whom he also beat for the EIWA title, to second team. Poor made the first group last year. SMITH UNANIMOUS CHOICE A unanimous choice for the 136- pound slot, Smith edged out Penn State’s Don Maurey in the EIWA semi-finals. The second team berth went to Syracuse’s Joe Set tanni. John Mahoney, Lehigh, and Tony Orser, Princeton, waged a hot battle for the 145-pound posi tion, with Mahoney the winner by a 16-point margin. Mahoney, the only man to defeat Captain Jim Maurey in a dual meet, lost out to the Nittany team leader in .the Eastern finals. Maurey went on to take third place in the NCAA’s. Hunte, at 155 pounds, and Geb hardt, at 175 pounds, were both unanimous choices, and both were second-placers in the NCAA tour ney. Both Hunte and Gebhardt were undefeated throughout the dual meet season. Hunte was the outstanding wrestler of the EIWA run-off. PERRI EARNS POST Syracuse’s Perri took the 165- pound honor even though he lost his title to Emil Perona of Rutgers. But Perona was not quite so for tunate, for he was tied for second team ranking by Yale’s sopho more star, George Graveson. Always a bridesmaid but never a bride. That’s LaSasso who for the second straight year made the All-Opponent team and was runner-up in the EIWA’s.
