L , .A.G.C. FO U R 'On The Ball' EY RAY KOEHLER Sports Editor Quarterback Bob Bla i k, younger son of Army's out standing coach, Earl Blaik, is considered one of the finest all around athletes in his class. In his yearling year he earned ma jor letters in football, baseball and hockey. Little Earle Mundell supplied one of the Penn State grid var sity's heartiest chuckles the day Coach Engle broke camp, August 23rd. Jim Coogan, Nittany sports publicist, directed a cameraman to snap a picture of the Lions' biggest and smallest players. Not familiar with the two candidates —Bill Hockersmith, 6-feet, 4-in ches, 240-pounds, and Mundell, 5- feet 4-inches, 155-pounds—the photographer asked the team trainer, Chuck Medlar, to round up the two subjects. Spotting the tiny scatback, , Medlar called,• "Hey, Earle, the cameraman here wants to take a picture of you carrying Hocker, , smith - on your shoulders." Glancing backward, Mundell gasped "Man, you ain't talking to me," and tore away as fast as his muscular legs could carry him. Fila Syracuse's Bill Skyinskus, who never wrestled prior' to last winter and then placed fourth in the National AAU meet, is thought by Orange wrestling coach, Joe McDaniel, to have an excellent chance to become a national champion before graduating. Skyins ku s, a 20-year-old sophomore who stands 6-feet 2-inches, 2QB-pounds has a keen interest in football and is ex pected to win the right guard position. Dan Tehan, Big Ten official, passes along an incident, occur ring in a small college game in which he officiated. A sophomore tackle complained to Tehan that he was being held. After watch ing several plays, however, Dan told the lad he was being mouse trapped. He had to explain the trapping to the kid. "Gee," said the sophomore, "you mean those fellows are de liberately letting me go through?" Dan told him it was true. "Say," continued the boy, "that's a pretty good trick. I'll have to tell my coach about it."' 4 , 4: nt BALLAD OF THE T FORMATION (To the tune of "McNarnara's Band") "Oh, the ends they crash and the tackles smash and the guards they submarine, "The halfbacks lunge, the full b7cks plunge, the center stoops between, "But, 10, the cerebral quarter back, standing all serene, "He merely gives the ball away and keeps his jersey clean."

The Syracuse Tangerines will be play ing their first contest this after noon. Bruce Yancy, wh o runs the Tangerine squad from the quar terback slot, is an accomplished passer. He has two good receivers in ends "Dino" Hadjia and Jim George. In practice, Hadjia has been particularly impressive on end-around plays. .

Barney, a sophomore and starting defensive guard, has not yet responded to treatment. He suffered a sprained knee and an kle early in the first quarter against the Cadets.
