Sam (Dad) Tamburo„ brilliant
1948 Penn State all- .:American
end who broke in impressively as
defensive wingman with the 1948
Bulldogs, has signed with the
New, York Yanks for 1950;
One of the smaller• defehsive
flankers in the majors - at .195
pounds and 6 feet 2 inches, the
Italian-Dutch rookie from New
Kensington, proved himself un
usually aggressive and brainy
for a freshman last season.
Tamburo grabbed 23 passes for
301 yards to rank 20th in the
major college standings in 1948;
but he was seventh in. the• nation
among' all players ihOwing, in
nine games or fewer.
He didn't handle a single pass
last year when he was used al
most exclusively on defense. He's
24-years-old and thus fits in with
Coach Red Strader's plans to
"field one of the youngest clubs
in the enlarged National Football
League. George Ratterman,
Buddy Young, George Taliaferro
and Bennie Aldridge are other
leading• players in the Strader
youth movement.
Tamburo joins . Big John Nolan,
another Penn State great and `ex-
Bulldogat tackle, in the Yank
Joist. bringing to 38 the number
of players signed, equally divided
between veterans and rookies.

THE SUMMER COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
All thoughts of pennant
races and inter-league rivalry
will be temporarily sidelined
today as the cream of major
league baseball takes over in
Chicago's Comiskey Park for
the 17th annual All-Star game
batween the American and Na
tional Leagues.
••Game time is '2:15• p.m. and
station WMAJ will .Carry a full
description of the contest—which
is expected to draw 49,000 people
—for local fans.
As usual, pre-game odds give
the edge to the power-laden
American League window-break
ers who boast the Major's lead
ing vote-getter in George Kell of
Detroit. Meanwhile, National
League hopes lie in the direction
of a strong pitching staff headed
by two Philadelphia Phil stand
outs, Bob Miller (8-0) and Robin
I Roberts (10-3). •

floor. Attendants rushing to the
scene were calmly told by the
youth that his feat had been
prompted by the enthusiasm of
seeing his fraternity brother pin
an opponent of a rival house.
Faculty Advisor Protests
Another time, Sykes recalls, a
faculty advisor to a certain fra
ternity pulled a "Leo Durocher"
when he rushed out on the play
ing field to dispute an umpire's
decision during a softball play
off.
Incidentally, the handle "Dutch"
was given him when he was but a
4-year-old cherub. It seems as
though he resembled a little
dutchman so closely that a kindly
ne.ig'.., .r applied the addition,
there'.)ir sparing him the agony of
carry Log Clarence Moss through
out his life.
Besides his athletic know-how
and genius for organization,
Dutch also has plenty on the ball
upstairs. In addition to being a
gentleman and an athlete he also
won honors as a scholar in high
school and college.
At the completion of his senior
year at Dußois High, Dutch was
given a plaque as an outstand
ing all-arouncl athlete and scholar
marking the . only time the award
has been given.
Certainly not one to blow his
own horn, he is nevertheless proud
of a college record at Penn State
which saw him graduating with
a 2.8 all-college average. For his
M.S. degree Sykes wrote a hand-

book on intramural sports at
Penn State which may soon be
printed.
No College Athletics
Although he was a three-letter
winner in high school in basket
ball, track, and football (at which
he was a rough 135-pound end)
Dutch never played on a college
varsity. It is the one big disap
pointment in his life that his
status as a college employee while
attending school here did not
allow him to participate in varsity
athletics.
Coming to the Penn State cam
pus in December of 1943, Sykes
taught in the School of Physical
Education until he entered the
service in Jan., 1945. During the
winters of 1943-'44 and '44-'45 he
was assistant basketball instruc
tor to John Lawther.
In the Army Dutch probably
saw more camps than the former
big league pitcher Bobo Newsom
has seen baseball parks.
Books U.S.O. Tours
Finally arriving at the island of
Leyte in the Philippines, our hero
was put in charge of booking all
U.S.O. tours South of Manila at
the end of the war.
Discharged in Aug., 1946, he re
turned to the Pennsylvania State
College campus and was placed in
the intramural department.
Dutch is married to a Du4ois
girl, whom he met in his fresh
man year in high school,, and is
the father of two daughters,
Donna Jane, 13A and Karen
Lynne, 3.
