Just 8 . 041 - 13reak --Rip
When Coach Rip Engle philosophized that the "breaks"
would play a crucial role in the current football season he
had no idea how accurate his prediction would be.
Engle. made that prediction more - than two months ago,
but it's difficult to forget his words in light of Saturday's
battle with Temple which ended in a 7-7 deadlock., The "turn.
ing point" of the game came af
ter the Lions had rolled to a 7-0
lead and' were on their way to
another score.
Vince O'Bara passed to George
Jacob who was covered by the
Owls' Ed Charters. Both boys
' went up for the ball, and when
they hit the turf nobody in the
stadium was sure who had come
up with it. The officials gave it
to Charters.
Rulebook Explanation
According to Rule 7, Sec. 4,
• Art. 2 of the football code "If
a legal. forward pass is com
pleted and intercepted simul
taneously by eligible receivers
of opposing teams, the ball be
comes dead and belongs to
team A (Ed. Note—the offens
ive team.) where completed."
Engle has little use for the cry
ing towel, and he's not complain
ing about the deciSion. "It's one
of pipse things that could have
gone .either way—and it went
against' us."
The:Temple skirmish a
.thing of
the past, Engle has turned . his at
tention to preparations' for Sat
, urday's encounter with Boston
College. Putting the scoring
punChinto the Nittany offense
is number one on Engle's program
for the week.

Jeffs Win Skein
Draws Acclaim
Penn State's undefeated soc
cer' team, United State's co
champion in 1949, seems to be
well on its way toward nation
wide recognition again after top
pling the first five opponents of
the 1950 campaign.
The talented charges of Coach
Bill Jeffrey have gone through
20 lames without a defeat since
1948 and have rolled up 26 goals
this season for an average of
more than five per game.
Joe Lane leads the scoring par
ade with nine " tallies, • seven of
which he garnered against Buck
nell when he established an all
time Lion record. Clarence Buss
has five to his credit, including
three in the same- Bucknell
game, which ended 11-2.
Little Scores 4
Captain Harry Little, a 1949
All-A me r i can selection, has
found time between his play
making chores to hit opposing
nets four times. Little's best day
thus far was the Colgate game
last Saturday when he scored
twice.
Gus Bigott, All-American in
1938, who has returned from
Venezuela to complete his school
ing, has tallied twice. The 32-
year-old wingman scored both
goals within a week in the
Gettysburg and Colgate games.
Roh Coleman and Ed Smith
have each been credited with
two goals, while Kurt Klaus and
Gary Nugent have .a goal apiece.
Smith, Klaus, and Nugent are
sophomores.
While the Lions were piling up
their 26 goal total, their victims
hive•managed to get through the
defense of the Jeffreymen only
five times.

'Mr. Fullback' Returns . . .
RagePs Horseplay
In Locker Room
Cheers Pals
By MARV KRASNANSKY
Fran Rogel, Penn State's "Mr.
Fullback," returned to the Nit
tany Vale for a few hours Mon
day and revived pleasant mem
ories of happier gridiron days.
Returning to State College
for the first time since he be
came a play-for-pay agent of the
Pittsburgh Steelers of the Na
tional Football
. League, Rogel
looked and acted as robust as he
was in the days he was running
wild for coaches Bob Higgins and
Joe Bedenk. -
With the unrestrainable
"Punchy" whooping it up, the
Penn State team room echoed
with memories of the days when
the Drazenoviches, Wally Trip
lett, Sam Tamburo, and Elwood
Petchell hung their togs in the
lockers.
Answers 'Questions
Rogel was, of course, bombard
ed with questions about pro ball
by a bevy of former teammates.
Guard Jim Barr started it off by
asking Fran how he liked the
pros's, to which Rogie answered,
"Like it—especially on Mondays
—that's pay day." The boys
moved in closer.
They chided Rogel about his
being used as pass receiver by
the Steelers. It was Rogel the old
clown all over again as he waltz
ed about the locker room, making
like a pass receiver.
Enter Owen Dougherty, Fran's
buddy and roommate last year at
Kappa • Delta Rho—now better
known as Kappa Dougherty Ro
gel—followed by a jovial reunion.
"How's the . old room?" asked
Fran of Doc. "Clean," answered
.Doc.
Rookie Fullback
Starting fullback for the Steel
ers in his rookie season, Rogel
has been going great. He already

STATE we are concerned about
. and we went all out on THE

Cub Gridmen To Encounter
Navy; Drills End Tomorrow
With a full week of practice under their belts, Penn State's
gridders will conclude drill sessions tomorrow before leaving Fri
day for their game with the Navy plebes, Saturday afternoon.
Coach Earl Bruce's frosh ‘vill
be out to even their current rec
ord of one win and two defeats.
Bruce, who expressed satisfac
tion with the Lion cubs' victory
over the Buckriell frosh in their
last outing,• has his yearlings
working hardest on their passing
attack. He hinted that they may
spring a surprise on the tough
Navy plebes.
Szajna Pushed
Bob Szajna, No. 1 quarterback,
has shown a marked improve
ment in his passing but Frank
Minana and Tom Keane have
been pushing him for the starting
role.
Backs Jimmy Fin, Dick Jones,
and Matt Yanosich also drew
praise from the frosh coach. The
cubs' "three bolts of lightning"
each exploded for long gains
against the Bucknell frosh and
from all indications should be
ready for varsity competition
next season.
Injuries have been compara
tively light. Fullback Nick Fer
da and halfback Petie Shopa have
been on the disabled list but
Bruce expects both. to see action
against the Middle juniors. Shopa
sustained an injured vertebra
which has been bothering him
off• and on all season.
has two touchdowns to his credit
and 'set up another on a 63-yard
run. Not troubled by the weak
ankle which sidelined him a good
part of last year, Fran has de
veloped into one of the outstand
ing rookies in the league.
Ragel'is all football, and wheth
er the game is of the collegiate or
professional variety makes no
difference to him. "I just like
football," he said.
The pro's are bigger and smart
er—you can't make a mistake,
'cause if you do they capitalize
on it."
Rogel hasn't made too many
mistakes.
Joe Drazenovich, older of the
two Penn State athletic greats,
is a member of the freshman
football coaching staff at his, alma
mater.
