Off The
Cuff
By ART ,BENNING
% Asst. Sporta Editor
....everal indications point to the
fact that this year's cheerleading
squad may be the most energetic
group to fill' ;this capacity for a
number of '"Years. That takes a lot
of doing, when you consider that
other post war squads included
the recognized talents of coed
cheerleaders, and that former
squads have been led by. such
men as Bill Bonsall in 1948. an
Olympic gymnastic performer.
Helped along by the increased
football interest brought about by
the "new era" at Penn State, the
pep rally held on the steps in
front of Old Main before the
Georgetown game this fall, was
the largest in the history of the
College.
It takes a lot of planning to ar- 1
range a pep rally. The Blue Band
cooperates to the fullest extent,
and so do the coaches, players,
speakers, emcees, and student
leaders. But someone has to plan
the affairs, and this year the task
falls to Rudy Valentino, head
cheerleader.
The other men who take the
time to make the Big White's
cheering section what it iS, are
Norman 'Fryman, Dick Weisberg,
Ed' Lefkowith, Alan New, Bob
Whitman, Tom Hanna and Ted
Sykes. - -
Taking advantage of the. gym
nastic ability of several of the
members, the squad is working
with gymnastic coach Gene
Wettstone to perfect routines to
be used at the football garnes.
A new cheer, known as the "Go
Yell", which has-been enthusias
tically received, combines both
easily adaptable words and some
sparkling gymnastics. .
One performer at the grid
games w h o doesn't receive
enough credit, is the man who
makes the Nittany Lion tick this
year, Jack Waters. Spruced up in
his 400 dollar suit, Jack makeS
his entrance in anything from 'a
Cadillac convertible to a wheel
barrow, and from there on, it's
all work. - •
For instance, at the George
town 'game, Jack lost 10 pounds.
and was so stiff the next day he
couldn't make it up' the stairs.,
Incidentally, Jack is a' senior and
member of the wrestling team.

Liens Face Job Of Halting
Huskers' Soph Sensation
"This boy must be stopped" iS . what assistant football
coach Frank Patrick has told Rip Engle about the University
of Nebraska's amazing sophomore Bobby Reynolds.
Patrick, who scouted the Cornhuskers through their
first three encounters in preparation for the Penn State-
Nebraska clash in Lincoln Saturday, rates the 19-year old
Reynolds as one of the better
hacks of the year. And Patrick
has good reason for his judgment
In three games the Grand Is
land, Neb., one - man, gang has
rolled up 493 yards ir. 53 attempts
to earn him the number four spot
among runners in the nation. In
addition. Reynolds has scored
eight touchdowns and converted
five times for a total of 53 points.
also among the highest in the
country.
Scores Three In Debut
Against a good Indiana •team
Reynolds made his collegiate
gridiron debut by accounting for
Nebraska's three touchdowns,
two extra points and chewed LID
137 yards in 22 attempts as the
Cornhuskers tied th e Hoosiers,
204 - 0. He scored the first two
touchdowns the following week.
and gained 169 yards in 17 tries
as Nebraska dumped Minnesota.
32-26.
Last Saturday the Cornhuskers
came a-cropper with Colorado.
bowing 28-19, but the 175-pound
sophomore just went rolling
along. He accounted for all three
touchdowns—one an 81-yard ex
cursion—and booted an extra
point Two other ccnversiOn at
tempts wer blocked.
Played In Less Games
Although Reynolds has carried
53 times, he has lost but ten
yards from scrimmage. Fourth in
the nation in rushing. he• has
played less games and carried
fewer times than the three top
runners. His average of almost
9 1 / 2 yards per try is high among
the leaders.
Reynolds does not play defense,
but- being a -triple threat he re
minds old-timers of the "flood
old days" when a back had to be
able :to do everything. As good
up the middle as he is around
the ends, Reynolds passes well.
and has averaged 40 yards in
punting.

Tilt Tomorrow
Penn State's freshman grid
z.iers will play their first night
game - of the season tomorrow
night when they invade Lewis
burg for a game under the arcs
with Bucknell's freshmen.
In an attempt to pull his team
out of its two game losing streak,
Coach Earl Bruce has the frosh
orking on offensive tactics,
.stressing the Lion Cubs' passing
attack. •
Against Syracuse last Friday,
the muddy field hampered the
speedy State backfiE,a anti the
passing attack couldn't take up
the slack.
Lion quaterback Bob Szajna
had to rush all his passes be
cause of the fierce charging
Tangerine line. Several times he
was thrown for long losses when
he went back to pass.
But Bruce was pleased with
the showing of the Lion frosh,
lie explained that the game could
have easily ended 7-0, had they
played it safe, but that the frosh
went all out in an attempt to
score.
"The boys actually played a
better game against Syracuse
then they did against
.Wyoming,"
he said.
