As Penn State Scores 7 Times
What Rip Engle has done for Penn State football in the
few months he has been here was spelled out in big, bold
letters Wednesday afternoon when an aggressive, hard
hitting Nittany eleven ran' over
Bucknell, seven touchdowns to.
three, in a scrimmage game.
The Bisons had defeated the,
Lions, three to two, in the Spring
pri6r to Engle's arrival in the
Nittany Vale.
Engle had an opportunity to
view his charges in action through
seven quarters of football that,
lasted more than three hours.,
When it was all over, the gray
thatched gridiron sage observed
that the squad was "progressing.*
Engle Likes Ball-Handling
Engle noted that he was
"especially pleased with the ball ? ,
handling," which was sharp des
pite a steady rain that fell
throughout almost all of the con
test. Only twice in the seven per
iods did the Lions lose possession
via the fumble rout.
That the boys were still riot
taking full advantage of the, op
portunities was about the Only
complaint Engle had to register.
The pass defense, too, showed
need of improvement. Working
with two co-ordinating defensive
patterns for the first time caused
the Lions a little difficulty.
Asked in what department the
Blue and White needed the most
improvement, Engle grinned, "Of
fense and defense." He noted,
however, that Vince O'Bara, who
worked the first four quarters c.t
-quarterback, was coming along
"better than expected," and that
fullback Herb Kurtz did an "ex
cellent job." The running of half
back George Jacob also drew,
Engle's - praise.
O'Bara Passes Well
twentieth win of the season
against eight losses:
Home runs by Joe DiMaggio,
Johnny Mize, and Cliff Mapes
aided in the Yank return to

As Penn State's first freshman
.football squad In nine years
ended their fourth day of practice
yesterday, Coach Earl Bruce was
non-committal on the outlook of
his team's chances for the current
season.
"Our backs are small but fast,
and we have a good sized line,"
he said—adding, "we'll do all
right though."
With 48 eager candidates try
ing out for the squad, and more
reporting, for practice each day,
Bruce has four weeks to 'whip a
team together for the opening
game with Syracuse Oct. 13.
A source close to the team re
ported that this year's crop of
freshmen appear to be best since
1946. That was the year Fran
Rogel, Paul Kelly, Fred Fel
baum, Don Murray, Bob Ross,
Chuck Beatty, and Ray Hed
derick, coached by Bruce, -led
California State Teachers Col
lege to the Pennsylvania State
Teachers College title with an - un
defeated season.
Bruce was not that optimistic.
Asked to compare this year's crop
of freshmen with his 1946 team,
Bruce would say only, "It's too
early to tell."
Club Manager's
Behind-Scenes
Work important
Of major importance to Penn
State's athletic prowess is the
work done by student managers
and assistant managers who are
the backbone of the "behind the
scenes" work of every athletic
team.
Under the direction of the
graduate manager of athletics,
Harold "Ike" Gilbert, student
managers care for equipment,
serve as greeters to referees and
other sports officials, handle ex
penses on away trips, submit
accounts of athletic contests for
official records, and carry out
other duties in assisting players,
coaches, officials and visiting
teams.
All sophomore men are eligible
for candidacy as a second as
sistant manager for Fall, Winter,
and Spring sports. ,
Sophomores who are interested
in managerships for football,
cross-country and soccer ar e
urged to apply now or next week,
at the Assistant Graduate Man
ager of Athletics' office in 107
Old Main.
Within two weeks following the
completion of the season of each
'Tort, three first assistant man
agers are chosen to serve for the
following year. With this ad
vancement more responsibilities
are delegated to the first assist
ants, including the supervision of
the second assistant candidates
and the accompanying of the
team on away trips.
One head manager is chosen
from three first assistant man
agers. The head manager serves
in that capacity his senior year
while the two defeated first man
agers are considered associate

All three merited Engle's ac
colades. O'Bara—the retreaded
halfback - made - quarterback
passed for two of the Lions' seven
scores, and would have had a 35-
yard touchdown completion to
credit were it not for a penalty.
The Johnstown senior also han
dled most of the punting chores,
booting one out on the Bucknell
6 from midfield to put the Bisons
in a hole and thereby set up
State's second score.
Kurtz ran with speed and pow
er to eat uo big yardage and score
two touchdowns. He bucked over
from the 2 to cap a third-period
65-yard march after setting up ,the
score with a 22-yard blast up the
middle. He also scored in ' the
fourth period from up close on the
tail end of a 64-yard drive.
A brilliant 70-yard punt return
climaxed Jacob's day. The hard
running 175-pound senior took
the punt, faked a reverse, and pro
ceeded to barge his way through
a half-dozen would-be tacklers as
Ihe threaded his way down the
sideline for the score.
Mundell Scoots Across
Captain Owen Dougherty was
on the scoring end of one of
O'Bara's payoff heaves—this 'one
going for 16 yards—and Chan
Johnson gathered in the other, a
10-yard fourth down completioh.
Scatback Earle Mundell scored
from eight yards out, while cen
ter Joe Shumock recovered a
fumble in the Bucknell end zone
for another tally.
Although he failed to score,
sophomore Bob Pollard labeled
himself as the back to watch. Pol
lard, up from California State,
started on the defense, but it was
his speed and power on the offense
that drew attention. The Negro
speedster might easily develop
into State's top runner.
Defensively the play of end
Chuck Wilson, and the line-back
ing of Shumock, center John Pod
rasky, and Len Shephard gave
promise of better things to come.
Golf Fees Lifted
The $1 greens fee required of
summer students for use of the
golf course will be dropped for
regular session students in 'the
next two semesters.
