Penn State Gridders Meet
Secret Foe Away Today
Penn State’s football team will meet one of the East’s top grid
squads this ■ afternoon in a practice scrimmage on the opponent’s
home field.
Just who and where the Nittanies are playing, Coach Rip Engle
leclined to reveal as the scrimmage will be closed to the public.
Both teams agreed to the secret session in order to' keep opposing
scouts from seeing the two teams
play.
Engle and a squad of 60 men
left State College yesterday
morning for their undisclosed
destination.
Long Session
The scrimmage will be played
in six or seven quarters with the
two opposing coaches substituting
at will, and stopping play at any
time to make corrections.
The Ripper has had the Lion
gridders in body contact work all
week preparing for today’s work
out. The game today will give the
Lion coaches' their first glimpse
at the State gridders under ac
tual game conditions. Engle did
not announce any starting lineup
for the/scrimmage.
Another Scheduled
At least one more, and possibly
two or three, scrimmage contests
have been scheduled with other
colleges during the spring prac
tice period which is scheduled to
end May 5.
The Lion gridders have been in
spring practice now for two and
one half weeks, with emphasis
being placed on fundamentals
and the placing of the players in
the position they are best suited.
The practice games should go a
long way toward accomplishing
this job.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Golfers Open
Today At Home
Against Lehigh
The Penn State golf squad will
open its 1951 season this after
noon at 1:30 o’clock when they
engage the linksmen of Lehigh
on the Nittany links.
The once victorious Brown and
White golfers, who annexed their
initial engagement last weekend
by drubbing the Haverford team,
8-1, will bring -an exceptionally
well-seasoned team to the Nit
tany Vale.
Little Time
Because the pins were only
placed on the College greens last
Wednesday morning, Cbach Bob
Rutherford has had little oppor
tunity to screen his prospective
hopefuls.
Because of this hindrance,
Cqach Rutherford said that to
day’s combine may not be his best
outfit this season, but by the time
the Georgetown contest rolls
around next weekend, a more
permanent varsity squad will
probably be selected.
According to the Lion link men
tor, the Engineer team is new
opposition for the Nittanies, and
today’s match will be the first
time that the two clubs have
faced each other.
5 Lelfermen
The State lineup today will be
composed of five lettermen and
two newcomers.
Ted Robertson, Captain Joe
Durniak, Ray Artz, Marv Golden
berg, and George Mazanowski
are the veterans who are sched
uled to swing the clubs. Golden
berg, and Mazanowski did not
play last season. However, both
won monograms in the 1949 cam
paign.
Robertson, Dumiak, and State
College’s Artz were responsible
for last year’s 8-3 log.
Newcomers
John Wylie and Hud Sampson
are the newcomers who will make
their debuts.
Among the many outstanding
performers that the Engineers
will field today, one in particular
is worth watching. This being
Larry Carpenter, who turned in a
par 72 in the Annual Pine Needles
intercollegiate spring tournament,
and who also posted the best
score (75) for the Lehighers in
last week’s match with Haver
ford.
