Ace World Series Scribe
Praises Nittany Grid Play
Coach Rip Engle and his Nittany football Lions earned the
praise of a veteran Philadelphia sportswriter for the team's per
formance against Temple Saturday. •
In an interview at Beaver field after Saturday's contest Stan
Baumgartner of the Philadelphia
Inquirer gave the Lion coach and
his boys a very welcome pat on
the back.
The Inquirer scribe 'compli
mented Engle for his fine job
in installing the winged-T at
State this year and lauded the
team for its spirit. In his praise
of Engle, Baumgartner oointed
out that fundamentally the T
formation and the single wing,
State's old formation, are vastly
different.
For Touch-And Go
"The single wing depends on
power," he said, "whereas the
'T' is dependent for its success
upon quickness and alertness. It
is a terrific task to teach boys
raised in the single wing tradi
tion the T-formation in such a
short time. Engle is doing very
well with the new system."
Baumgartner, who has watch
ed Penn State teams for many
years, said that the spirit of this
year's team is as good as he has
ever seen. He pointed to the man
ner in which the backs kept driv
ing and running hard as an indi
cation of this spirit. He express
ed the belief that if the team re
tains the same attitude through
out the season, it should do well
in its remaining games.
In addition to reporting the
Temple football activities for his
paper, Baumgartner covers the
Philadelphia Phillies during the
baseball season. He probably
knows as much as any writer in
the country about the National
League champions. He was him
self a pitcher in the major leagues
during the first World War.
Phils-Giants Fistfight
On the subject of the Phillies,
Baumgartner advanced a new
theory for the near-fatal collayse
of the Whiz Kids in the final
month of the season. He attribut

Lack Of Scoring Punch
Still A Puzzle. To Engle
With the current football campaign better than half over, Penn
State's gridders are still looking for their second victory and Coach
Rip Engle is still trying to'dispoyer the reason for the failure of the
Nittapy Lions to regain their
victory stride.
Engle, who will send his
agents against a weak Boston
College eleven Saturday, frank:
ly admits that he doesn't know
where the problem lies. , That
Engle does have a problem—
more than one to. be precise--
was obvious as the Lions limped
to a 7-7 tie with a not-too-im

Homecoming crowd of almost

While the Big White has been
far from impressive since its
opener with Georgetown, Sat-'

should have won. Statistically
Temple was not in the ball
game. The Lions outgained the
Owls, 243 yards to 177, and rolled
