Ferguson Twirls Shutout
In Rec Loop Softball Frey
By ED WALLACE
Despite a drizzle that made the ball slippery and footing unsure, Ray Ferguson and
the Collegians combined efforts to shape the first shut-out in more than 30 games of Main
Session softball action. Ferguson pitched a nifty one-hit six-inning stint as the hard
hitting Collegians blanked Alpha Chi Sigma, 15-0.
The loss dropped Alpha Chi from the un beaten ranks and left only the Collegians and
the Ripsnorters without a loss in
League B. These two teams were
scheduled to play last night in
what might be the deciding game
of that loop.

Rogel Ends Wage Holdout;
Signs with NFL Steelers
The drawn-out salary dispute between Penn State's Fran Rogel
and the Pitt Sieelers finally settled to everyone's satisfaction, the
bull-like 23-year-old rookie will now settle down to the task of earn
ing himself a steady job in the tough National Professional circuit.
The signing of Rogel placed at six the number of fullbacks who
have attached signatures to Steeler contracts. The lone holdout is
-- " 4 11116Z5VV 'George Papach, regular offensive linebucker last
year. Those in contention for the fullback slot in
additi6n to Rogel are vets Jerry Shipkey and Joe
Hollingsworth, and Carl DePasqua, of Pitt, Jim.
Conley, of Texas Tech, and Tony Ragunas, of VIAL
The Steeler family met officially for their first
day of training at Cambridge Springs, Pa., on
Sunday.
According to a report made to a Collegian
Rogel revealed that a satisfactory agree
ment had been arranged during a telephone call ,
from Steeler President Art Rooney.
Fran Rogel
"While I didn't sign for • the figure I had been angling for,"
Rogel said, "I am quite satisfied with the compromise amount."
Rooney was also told that Rogel's injured leg of last autumn has
healed completely and that he is . in playing condition right now.
Rogel, it is thought, will fit into the Steeler plan of attack as he
has been a single-wing man right down the line. He started under
Coach Johnny Reed at Scott High, North Braddock, and continued
under the same style at Penn State where Bob Higgins and Joe
Bedenk were his tutors.

Trackmen In British Isles
Horace Ashenfelter, former Penn State IC-4A champion,
was at the head of the field of distinguished'Amencan track
men who departed by plane for England' yesterday. This en
tourage placed the number of U.S. track teams now compet
ing overseas at three.
Interviewed at his home in State College before depart
ing, Ashenfelter revealed that his
group will be competing mainly
in Scotland, England, and Ireland.
There is also a possibility of a
quick jaunt to Greece.
Approximately ten to fifteen
athletes, including Tom Kirwan,
of Penn, and Tom Cox, of Rice,
made the trip aboard the Ameri
can Overseas Airliner. The first
stop on the tour—which will end
around the 15th of August—will

events during the tour.'
"The longer runs are not too
much of a strain on a man," he
says, "and besides, it breaks, up
the monotony."
At the present time, another

is competing in Norway. They are
