Stickmen Plan To Ambush
Western Maryland Squad
Tomorrow afternoon, the migrating tribe of Nittany stickmen who have been away
for many moons, will engage in combat the fierce lacrosse tribe from Western Maryland.
This will be the first home appearance of the Lion braves who have already been de
feated by three foreign tribes. Sachem Thiel and his lieutenants, Big Jawn McHugh and
Little Beaver Baer, urge the reservation out to cheer them on—squaws too.
Engle Returns Today,
Seeks T Quarterback
Rip Engle returns to State College this afternoon to start the
reconversion of the Penn State football machine. Engle, here last
weekend to sign the contract that made him Penn State’s football
coach, returned to Providence, R. 1., to complete his business there.
Engle, pioneer in the winged-T formation, will confer with his
assistants, A 1 Michaels, Sever Toretti, Frank Patrick, and Jim O’Hora
over the weekend. Monday he
will resume Spring drills which
had been scheduled to close last
Saturday.
SEEK QUARTERBACK
The job of rebuilding the gradu
ation-hit Lions will not be an
easy one for the 41-year old wing
ed-T exponent. Toughest part of
the task will be to find a man to
fill the vital quarterback role.
Engle and his assistants will be
seeking a man who can handle
the ball from under center and
pass well. Engle has said that
passing is one-third of his of
fense.
No indication has yet been
given as to whom the staff has
in mind for the job, but specu
lation has narrowed the choice
down to single-wing tailbacks
Vince O’Bara, and Tony Orsini,
and fullback Len Shephard, all of
whom are good passers.
In addition to concentrating on
the hunt for a quarterback, Engle
will show the squad just how
things are done the winged-T
way. Blocking on the line is al
most the same, Engle has said,
and there isn’t too much/’ differ
ence between getting the ball
from center and running with it
and getting the ball on a handoff
and running.
