2 Fullbacks Pose Problem For 'Rip'
Ted Shattuck,
Or Anders May
Shift To Half
Barring any unfortunate de
velopments in the form of selec
tive service calls, football Coach,
Rip Engle, faces a problem with
the return of sophomores Ted
Shattuck and Paul Anders. But
it's a problem any coach would
enjoy solving.
Both Anders and Sfh a t tuc k
played at the fullback post last
season, and each turned in good
performances. Chances are that
Engle will switch one of the hard
charging backs to a halfback slot
to replace the graduating Tony
Orsini, the Lions' leading scorer
last season.
Engle and his assistants are
schooling the. Nittanies on the
In This Corner • • .
Ridge Riley, Penn State col
lege alumni secretary, turns
out a weekly football letter
which pulls no verbal punches.
After Army clobbered Penn
State last fall, Ridge was
more than a little critical of
the Cadets rugged play. and
Army coach Red Blaik was
irate over the criticism.
Just the other day Blaik
phoned State grid Coach Rip
Engle to suggest a spring prac
tice game, but Engle declined
because his squad wasn't ready
for rough work. "You're right,
Rip," Blaik conceded, "but I
had sort of looked forward to
a scrimmage, I wanted yOu to
play Riley on the line."
fundamentals of the wing-T, ex
perimenting with plays, and at
the same time "feeling out" the
players as to the position each
is best suited to play.
So far, the Lions have partici
pated in only light contact drills,
using tackling dummies to avoid
injuries. Engle doesn't expect to
send the team into any hard
scrimmages until perhaps the last
of the five-week spring practice
session.
Besides the pleasant task Rip
will have in placing Shattuck and
Anders, he must also seek a re
placement for wingback Dough
erty and quarterback Vince o'-
Bara who will graduate in June.
Bob Pollard, defensive back
during most of last season, is a
possible replacement for Dough
erty at wingback while Tony Ra
dos, Bob Szajna, and Frank Mi
nana, loom as the leading candi
dates for the quarterback spot.
