"Rip" Engle. The former Brown University chief,- an exponent -of the wing -T, also holds the dubious honor of being the 13th in the long line of distinguished coaches who have directed Penn State's foot ball fortunes over a 64-year period. Engle's predeceisor, Joe Be denk, who has since been added to the newcomer's staff as line coach,. held this dubious distinc tion for a short, period early in his regime but Ed Yeckley, vet eran alumnus and former athletic great of Lorain, 0., ,proved in .a recapitulation of • the record that there had been only •11 coaches before Bedenk.

The two teams played last year after a lapse of 20 years and Penn State emerged triumphant, 22-7. The 1950 game, second of the cur rent two-year contract, will be played at Lincoln.
